After a year-long Fulbright Fellowship to the prestigious Finnish 
Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, Carrie Schneider returns to Chicago 
with a body of new work for her first solo exhibition with 
moniquemeloche gallery. Schneider sets up impossible scenarios that 
pit a character (usually herself) against some force of nature.   
Through a complex web of personal mythologies, Schneider throws 
herself into fantasies of escape and concealment, creating uneasy 
resonances with simple juxtapositions.  The result is a series of 
large-scale photographs and two 16mm films that continue to heighten 
the familiar to a level of precarious strangeness.
