Soft Infrastructure
Lula Art Blog
Chicago Tribune Article
Artist Reception: Tuesday, August 23, 2011, 6-9 pm
2537 N. Kedzie Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60647
Honchell’s new solo exhibition at Lula Cafe, Soft Infrastructure, reveals a soft
landscape—created from layers of cloth that are stitched into
strata—supporting traces of failed (hard) architecture—dilapidated mining
structures, hunting blinds, and communication towers. The improbable,
rickety structures stand in opposition to the soft landscape that provides
support to them.
Topology, sewing, and elements of mapping underscore the parallels between
the structures and functions of the human body, architecture, and the
landscape. Honchell invites viewers to cross unseen boundaries and discover
new territories while exploring the sense of touch in a visual way.

Swimsuit Edition: A Visceral Body to open at Swimming Pool Project Space
Swimming Pool Project Space
An exhibition curated by Lisa Majer and Liz Nielsen will open at Swimming Pool Project Space in Chicago, IL in February 2011. Relating to deep inward feelings rather than to the intellect, the artists, designers, performers, and thinkers in this edition elicit profound primal sensations through their craft. From the base to the sublime, from the personal to the social, from introspective to active, and from seductive to confrontational, the sensations and sensationalism of the works are ports of entry as points of departure.

Amy Honchell: Personal Geographies exhibition catalog
Exhibition Images
An exhibition catalogue with essays by Jeremy Biles and Becky Atkinson and designed by the Swiderski Institute is forthcoming in fall 2009.
This publication documents Honchell's 2009 solo exhibition at Murray State University in Murray, KY.
The work in Amy Honchell: Personal Geographies, Honchell’s solo exhibition at Murray State University, draws from the histories and structures of textiles, geography, biology, and architecture. Invisible patterns—topography, weather patterns, bodily systems— are the basis for her site-specific installations and drawings. Honchell’s work focuses on conflating the spaces we inhabit (landscape, architecture, bodies, and minds).
