Marwen Artist-teacher Jon Gittelson has a solo show; Gitelson rawks the "The Car Project" at Peter Miller Gallery, Chicago Illinois
One Man Show, March 17-April 22

Jon Gitelson presents his "Car Project" at Peter Miller Gallery
East Gallery: Jonathan Gitelson — Photographs: The Car Project Jonathan's photographs and sculpture offer a wry commentary on nightclubs and mass
advertising. He collected 1000s of flyers (the kind you find stuck under your windshield
wipers) and sewed a car cover with them. He then photographed his car wearing this
cover while it was parked in front of various dance clubs in Chicago. The obsessive nature of this activity, the compulsion to catalog, index and organize is spun away from sobriety into
the comical and the absurd.
