CALL FOR FUNERAL DIRECTORS--The Five Funerals Project
Deadline: 12/30/2010
Five funerals will take place in Spring 2011 at The Charnel House, a former funeral home in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. Each of the five Sundays in May will be dedicated to the contemplation of one notional death and a celebration of its notable life.
Apply at http://fivefunerals.com/
The community will gather to reminisce and tell stories of an honored cultural idea that has passed away without the fanfare it deserved. The Alliance of Pentaphilic Curators (J. Dunda and T. McClelland) will set the stage for five different Chicago writers or artists to host as the funeral Celebrant each week. Each selected master of ceremonies (Celebrant) will be responsible for setting the broad theme of each funeral and will be charged with the task to invite other cultural producers to participate and enhance the occasion with specific mourning actions and events. Celebrants will be chosen based upon proposals that detail their intended decedent and how they hope to honor him/her/it.
Possible themes could include but are not limited to:
-things we just discovered never really existed (the Brontosaurus, retirement funds, diseases for which we received a wrong diagnosis)
-places and things that make Chicago 'not what it used to be' now that they’re gone (Field’s, the Ferris Wheel restaurant, the "Sears Tower", city controlled parking meters)
-things that seemed very important at the time (Y2K, relationships, online purchases, white teeth)
Each funeral reception to be artistically catered by Bleeding Heart Bakery. These Sunday events will be free and open to the public. Friends and family will enjoy a unique and appropriate epicurean tribute to each of the departed. Recipe books with the 5 different funeral delicacies and the written tribute to each of the special honorees will also commemorate the event.
