Colossal, a renowned art publication, is gearing up to celebrate its 15th anniversary this year. Over the past fifteen years, Colossal has had the privilege of engaging with a diverse array of artists, designers, and creators, forming a rich and vibrant creative community. The power of art to connect people from all corners of the globe has been a central theme in Colossal’s journey.

Exciting news is on the horizon as Colossal expands its presence in its hometown of Chicago with the opening of a new art gallery named Joy Machine on February 21. Joy Machine is more than just a gallery; it is a testament to the belief that joy serves as a beacon of hope in times of uncertainty and turmoil. In a world filled with challenges, Joy Machine aims to bring people together to experience and process both the highs and lows of life.

The inaugural exhibition at Joy Machine, titled “Light Preserver,” showcases the work of nine talented artists who harness humor, nostalgia, vibrancy, and a sense of new beginnings to cultivate joy. These artists delve into various themes, from childhood nostalgia to the transformative power of art in combating despair. Through their art, they seek to find meaning and purpose amidst chaos, offering a lifeline of joy to those in need of solace.

Among the featured artists in “Light Preserver” are familiar names such as Moises Salazar, David Heo, Liz Flores, Peter Frederiksen, Danym Kwon, Lisa Congdon, Michael McGrath, Jeff Rubio, and Abi Castillo. Each artist brings a unique perspective to the exhibition, contributing to a rich tapestry of joy and resilience.
