MATT GEER'S ART FOR THE PEOPLE SHOW featuring live music from: STILL IL and SILVER ABUSE

The Outta Space, 6840 32nd St., Berwyn

Matt Geer's Annual ART FOR THE PEOPLE art show!!! Matt Geer is a rare breed of Chicago's avant-garde underbelly.His work is spontaneous, mostly self-taught with a foundation in street art, painting, and drawing. He is also known to work in textiles and found objects. He is breaking his work into different series, each with its ruleset and focus.His work shares the same underlying themes but with a shifting focus through the artist's lens. His current paintings have become more minimalist. He favors bold lines and color in a reimagining of his graphic roots and elevating what grabs the eye and casting the rest aside as unnecessary filler.Much of his work is described as Absurdist postmodern neo-minimalism, laced with "snark." PLUS featuring LIVE MUSIC by STILL IL--A musical exposition of all things Smith. A potent and experienced musical combo covering The Smiths, solo Morrissey, solo Johnny Marr and all projects/artists that have collaborated, influenced or have been influenced by individually or collectively Smiths. Sounds like a lot? Well we don't wish to be hamstrung into only doing a short list of tunes. Also this page will serve as a Chicago Stop for all fans and followers to share their Smithstuffs. SILVER ABUSE-- One of Chicago's first punk bands, formed in 1977. "Useless wankers intent on scoffing or a band of overeducated guys filtering the detritus of post-modernism through a Dada lens. Pick one." 6pm Art show opening 8pm Music $10
