SUMMARY:Through the Veil by Haley Williams
DESCRIPTION:Through the Veil is an ever-growing collection of work that poses the question\, what’s next? Double exposing the film before development gives this collection its distinct look. The watercolour-esq blending and movement of the colors give each shot an ethereal\, otherworldly feel to them. Transporting the viewer into another realm\, somewhere between here and the other side. A place where religion and science can not take you\, but you can feel. Admission is to be determined.\n

SUMMARY:Third Friday Presents: "Chicago Bridges: Brilliance & Blunder"
DESCRIPTION:Mitchell Trachtenberg presents a  wonderful talk about the history of Chicago’s best-known infrastructure.  Since the city’s beginning\, moving bridges have been built to cross the river while allowing shipping.  Going through generations of design shifts and re-invention\, these causeways became both iconic and infuriating to Chicagoans.\nMitchell is a native Chicagoan and graduate from UIC.  He has long had an interest in Chicago’s bridges\, their engineering\, the art in their lines\, and how their design changed to bring us to the present.  Most recently he led tours for the McCormick Bridgehouse Museum and currently works in transportation planning.  \nIn-person Member is $5\nIn-person Non-Member is $10
