The Peter Miller Gallery is pleased to present Aaron Baker in his first one person show in Chicago. This exhibit reflects Baker's interest in hybridized objects that are both playful and threatening, elegant and camp.
Aaron Baker: "I like promiscuous art, objects with rowdy enthusiasm and a taste for mingling that do their best to slip right out of the category in which you just placed them. If I work with any agenda, it is to imbue my objects with some conceptual slippage."
