Bun Stout - The Dream Continues (9/6-11/1):
Like utopias, there are as many “end of the worlds” as there are people to experience it. The works in The Dream Continues reflect the experience of living through a transition of worlds, with one foot in fantasy and the other in decay. Is it still the end when we continue on the other side? Synthesizing fashion, poetry, drag and augmented reality, Bun Stout’s handmade augmented reality costumes transform wearers, often nightlife personalities, into otherworldly storytellers. Stout has shown widely across the Midwest and internationally. Recent honors include support from the 3Arts Ignite Fund, Chicago Artist Coalition ENVISION Grant, Chicago DCASE Individual Artist Program Grant, and the Virginia Aberle Memorial Scholarship to attend ACRE Residency. They have a BFA from Indiana University and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where they currently teach digital media and augmented reality.
