Mismanaged Utopias, by Heather Charley
Heather Charley is a Chicago-based teaching artist with close ties to Wisconsin. This includes a 53-day stay at Froedtert Hospital in 2024, initiated by her leg’s attempt to secede from her body, and extended by a full system shutdown.
This past January, she did 30 small works around that trauma and found healing as she abstracted away from specifics.
Mismanaged Utopias is a continued mutation and propagation--generating new, but flawed, speculative worlds informed by the complex and mysterious organic systems of the human body and nature.
