HAUPTSCHEIN / SEGEDIN q & a WITH THE ARTISTS

  • Rare Nest 3433 North Kedvale Avenue Chicago, IL, 60641 United States (map)

Please join us for a discussion and reception with artists Leo Segedin and David Hauptschein.

 

Both artists have engaged in deep explorations of self-representation that combine introspection and extraversion. Both artists face challenges in age, vision, ableness, and a fear of invisibility. What can we learn from their perspectives? Hauptschein (71) and Segedin (95) overcome substantial challenges with their vision. Segedin was diagnosed with dry macular degeneration over a decade ago. Hauptschein, 72, developed an undiagnosed eye ailment. Courageous artists accommodating age with disability, adaptation, and the enduring, triumphant impulse to create are explored in this exhibition.
