Pop-Up Deer on Vacant Land, Coming (and Leaving) Next Week

Urban Dwellers

The Week of June 6-11 2011

at 1827 Milwaukee Ave


Johalla Projects is proud to announce Urban Dwellers by Andrea Jablonski, in collaboration with Vicki Fuller of VLF Development. Urban Dwellers, large, silver-glittered deer installations, have been placed in an empty lot off of a highly visible and congested street. These structures are meant to serve as a reminder of nature and what may have existed previously, before urban development. Ms. Fuller approached Johalla Projects for this partnership with the goal of enriching the vacant lots near her business, which focuses on urban planning and development. Urban Dwellers debuts the week of June 6, 2011. Johalla Projects is excited to continue collaborating with Ms. Fuller. Please, keep your eyes open for future projects.

Images from (Outside of) Johalla Projects' Forever Rotten

It was prime time for slipper socks and the new Interpol album, thus I did not get a chance to pop in at Johalla Project's Forever Rotten opening this past Friday night en route home from the anniversary celebration at Jackson Junge, but I did encounter the following outside its door in the 1500 block of Milwaukee where a line was forming: a) Two women, both named Dayna but each spelled differently, one of whom said that a photograph of a friend of hers appears in the show and 2) A really cool Chevrolet that may or may not have been connected to the opening. All I know is that it was one cool dashboard.
