THE SLOW CLUB is a collection of work that investigates lost queer spaces. Objects and ephemera, including bar mirrors and matchbooks, provide traces of real and imagined histories, encouraging viewers to reconsider their relationship to a recent and radical past. Concurrently with the exhibit at ACRE, elements of The Slow Club will be on view at Parlour on Clark, re-situating the work into the context of a queer social space. Parlour is open 3pm – 2am Sundays, and is located on 6341 N. Clark St 60626.
