Fantabiography.com is pleased to announce:

ACTION!
is a Chicago Art Department exhibition themed around the idea of the Hollywood summer blockbuster movie. Since the release of Jaws in 1977, the summer movie season has, for better or for worse, become characterized by over the top, big budget, action, special-effects laden movies that we now know as “the summer blockbuster”. The art in this exhibition looks at the summer movie as cultural phenomena and symbol, as nostalgia and memory, and yes even simple, mindless fun.

Current confirmed artists include:

Ryan Roberts
Christophe Roberts
Clare Rosean
Nat Soti
Mike Nourse
Jim Jeffers
Ali Seradge
Sarah and Joseph Belknap
Kayce Bayer and Chris Lin
Kerry Flaherty
