This show is well worth seeing. The hue of a repeating graphic covering the main space walls entirely is lit with green and yellow light, producing a disconcerting feeling opposite the usually calming use of those colors in institutions. Peter Haley a well known late career artist presents Prison, a graphic work consuming the walls at Disjecta, in the shadow of Paul Bunyan www.disjecta.org 8371 N. Interstate Map 6PM-9 Free
