On Friday, January 19 at 8pm, Western Exhibitions will screen all Death by Design, Co. deaths to date. This screening is free and open to the public, but will require reservations, as seating is limited. The event will last about one hour. Please email the gallery to make your reservations. Reservations will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis.
Michelle Maynard and Teena McClelland's DEATH BY DESIGN, CO. is a special effects and video-based company that specializes in providing clients with their own customized, horror film death. Their current show at Western Exhibitions is a multimedia gore-fest. In previous Death by Design, Co. projects, clients chose their own on-screen "Hollywood" horror/sci-fi film death from a menu of hair-raising options: eaten by zombies in the woods; attacked by an army of giant rats; mauled by a mutant badger; or blasted by a space cowboy. Come see some of your favorite Chicago art personalities, like Paul Dickinson, Alex Jovanovich and Duncan MacKenzie, die gruesome, disgusting and ultimately hilarious deaths! Professionally edited DVDs of the first twelve death scenes and autographed glossies of the DxD ladies in action will be available at the gallery.
The Death by Design, Co. show, and the concurrent “Where All the D*cks Hang Out” in our Plus Gallery both run through January 20. Gallery hours are Wednesday thru Saturday, 12 to 6pm.
