The Chapel of Resistance is a collaborative project by Edgar Endress, Chris Rackley, and the Floating Lab Collective. The project was first exhibited at the historic Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC, during the Creative Time Summit in October 2016. It consists of twenty-two large plywood figures based on original drawings by Chris Rackley. Each wooden figure was cut by a CNC router, painted, mounted on a mobile support or suspended from the ceiling. The figures, which are grouped and layered, celebrate Pussy Riot, the Occupy Movement, Hong Kong’s umbrella protests, Black Lives Matter, and other uprisings and gestures of resistance from around the world. The fabrication of the project was realized by the Floating Lab Collective, a group of cross-disciplinary artists working collaboratively on social research in the context of public and media art in Washington DC, as well as nationally and internationally. The primary visual strategy for the project combines contemporary representations of resistance with the compositions and forms used by Michelangelo in his Sistine Chapel frescos. This document describes some of those connections.
