In May 2011, artist Matthew Ryan Sharp had his first solo exhibition in Chicago, IL. After exhibiting across the U.S…finally a show had been set up for home turf. Wanting to do something large scale and involved, the artist chose to approach OhNo!Doom Gallery since they held the perfect space. The concept of the exhibition was simple: tie together the similar elements of an art exhibition and carnival…create an environment and entertain the public visually.
