Library Street Collective is thrilled to announce Chris Schanck’s museum exhibition, A Surreality, at The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), opening on November 22, 2024. A Surreality features the latest creations from Schanck, whose work reveals a collection of fantastic objects, sculptures, and furnishings that explore the expansive nature of science fiction, myth, and fantasy in crafting our reality. The selection of works presented in A Surreality illustrates Schanck’s Alufoil technique, which uses aluminum foil to cover industrial and discarded materials and then seals them with resin.
