Sungho Bae: Apotropaia
August 2, 2026 – September 6, 2026
4th Ward Project Space, 5338 S Kimbark Ave, Chicago IL 60615
Apotropaia begins with stuffed animals pulled from waste-disposal sites, figures that cuteness once made harmless, easy to love, easy to throw away. Sungho Bae takes them apart and rebuilds them over skeletal armatures, giving them provisional muscles, skin, and nerves.
