Suicide Moi
@ The Renaissance Society
5811 S Ellis Ave, Cobb Hall, 4th Fl, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Saturday, January 18th, at 7PM
Suicide Moi is a collaborative art and music project featuring Isabelle Frances McGuire, Liz Vitlin, and Julian Flavin. Its name is borrowed from an album of poetry by Jean Baudrillard, recorded live at Whiskey Pete’s Casino in 1996, on which the French philosopher is backed by an all-star band. This band isn’t that band, but it appreciates the slippage between reality and simulacrum no less. For one day only, Suicide Moi occupies McGuire’s exhibition, becoming a new animating force, live in the present tense. The group’s debut album, Anastasia, is set to be released this year.
