If you weren’t able to make it out to Cantigny Park last summer to see the “Creatures of a Dream World” exhibition of alebrijes, good news! Twenty of those super-sized sculptures have traveled to the North Riverside Park Mall. LatinoVoicesWTTW
director of marketing Jeanne Heller said the exhibition has allowed the artists time to restore their works after months of being outside. Through March, visitors have even been able to participate in parts of the restoration.“They were outside at Cantigny for six months, so the elements of nature took their toll,” Heller said. “They were stored over the winter at the DuPage County fairgrounds, so they got even more snow that way. And then they are going to permanent installations.
The exhibition features artists in residence at the mall through April 19 so that visitors can watch the restoration happen on site. “There are 12 million artists in Mexico who are doing this kind of art. … To be able to host three of them here is a great thing, to actually see the papier-mâché,” Heller said. “When you see them coming together, it’s kind of a different appreciation of the actual paper and paste. So that part that education for people and just the awareness of a whole different kind of art is fascinating.
