Kathy Halper
POS (Parents Over Shoulder)
Original embroidered works from the "Friend Me" series
May 17th - June 16th, 2012

Friend Me is a series of embroidered drawings created by Chicago artist, Kathy Halper, based on Facebook photos of teens paired with found texts meant to explore the contemporary teen's experience through today's public technology.

As a mother and artist, Halper processes this distinct moment in time where teenagers' questionable transgressions can be broadcast immediately for the world to see, rather than as a story to be told from the safety of adulthood.

Opening: Thursday, May 17th from 5pm - 8pm. Artist will be present
