Exhibition: Chasen Igleheart, “Salo”
Location: 1303 College Street, Apt. A, 42101 Dates: October 21-22, 2011 Opening: Friday, October 21, 2011 Time: 6:00 pm- 10:00 pm Patricide: Killing one’s father is punishable by death. In Salo: Patricide, I am metaphorically killing what I consider the highest validation of masculinity, acceptance from a boy’s father. This idea is just mind controlling propaganda for masculine/capitalist culture. This exhibition will be a statement of my deconstruction of that validation. As a man in this country, I have to deal with this aspect, but no longer. To be a gender queer revolutionary, I have to kill all preconceived validations. My man-made validations being the first.As boys we are taught to disconnect ourselves with any type of vulnerability or personal strife, we are encouraged to compete with each other in a patriarchal battle of “who is tougher than the other” or “man enough”, and the worst aspect comes through masculine validation; these include violence, physical strength, material wealth, dominance and a stoic exterior. |

Salo:Patricide Exhibition Bowling Green KY 2011
Salo Exhibition/ Performance Piece 2011
Salo exhibition in Western Kentucky University Cube Gallery. Salo: An exploration of paint through the consciousness of current reality. A weight, a burden of knowing horrific events exist currently and in the past, and the process of understanding those events and their heaviness on my existence and conscious life. May Day: May 4th performance piece commemorating the 41st anniversary of the Kent State shootings in Ohio. Through remembering and processing those events we come closer to healing psychologically from them.

Western Kentucky University's MFA & BFA Show. April 1st through April 27th.
"Salo" Concept Performance Piece- 3.16.2011

"We felt that doing nothing in a period of repressive violence is itself a form of violence. That's really the part that I think is the hardest for people to understand. If you sit in your house, live your white life and go to your white job, and allow the country that you live in to murder people and to commit genocide, and you sit there and you don't do anything about it, that's violence." Naomi Jaffe

2011 Salo Series
Salo Series in progress. So far exploring the figure as a mass, a substance, and a weight. Salo torsoed, wide legged figures caught in the chassis of carcasses. In the rot. In the disease, the embrace of that filth as a crutch, but also an obstacle of their balance; ensnared and held by that mass as both push and pull. The weight of reality, that ponderosity of conscious knowledge, both cripples and sustains.
Get Tested
A Double Dip
Featuring:
Chasen Igleheart and Megan Hensley
Duo exhibition Featuring Chasen Igleheart and Megan Hensley. Get Tested, featured in the Cube Gallery of Western Kentucky University's Fine Art Center. Get Tested, explores the ideal of mortality vs. spirit. The dialectical scabbing of existence.
On a Roll. I have about ten pieces going at once, the real meaning of a body of work. Each piece echoing the last one. Jumping from flesh, to space, to flatness. The use of Spellz in my new work is derived from new age slang; using words to transform energies, inspire a new ideal, and empower that once was repressed.
Septic Series: 2010
Back in the studio and working again. Mixing the old with the new, Influenced by whats around me both past and present. the explosion of life with the maze of living, for both sides, for both spirits. New series part of The Prophet Series. "SEPTIC" when bio semiotics meet reality.
The Prophet Series: 2010
In alliance with the move to Turkey, transforming cultures, capitals and warfare into a holy family of my own. A look I took into my own past and my own blood. Now my only thought. Taking this moments deemed pointless and creating the ecstatic, the father, the son, the mother, the prophecy, the end is so near.
