Thy Pit Is Thy Bour is Jack Brockmanâs first solo exhibition with the Oak Park Public Library. The name is taken from a medieval memento mori: âWhan the turuf is thy tour, / And thy pit is thy bour, / Thy fel and thy whitĂŤ throtĂŤ / Shullen wormĂŤs to notĂŤ."The show is comprised of oil and mixed-media paintings largely in an isolated, domestic setting which attempt to grapple with the existential struggles of existence. The pieces follow in the tradition of the troubled domestic paintings of Hammershøi and Hopper or the literature of Ibsen. What makes a house a home? What is it to be known? Does work provide meaning and value to existence? The viewer will likely not find answers to such questions but yet the questions are raised. Related EventArt Exhibit Reception: "Thy Pit Is Thy Bour" by Jack Brockman, Sunday, June 8, 2025, 2:00pm - 3:30pm at the Main Library Gallery About the artistJack Brockman (b. 1994) is a painter, multidisciplinary artist, and florist based in Chicago. His painting practice is self taught as a byproduct of the COVID-19 lockdowns. The work addresses themes of mortality, alienation, understanding domesticity in the contemporary age, and ultimately, finding meaning amidst the chaos of life.

June Book Pick: There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven by Ruben Reyes, Jr. Summary: "An ordinary man wakes one morning to discover he's a famous reggaetón star. An aging abuela slowly morphs into a marionette puppet. A struggling academic discovers the horrifying cost of becoming a Self-Made Man. In There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven, Ruben Reyes Jr. conjures strange dreamlike worlds to explore what we would do if we woke up one morning and our lives were unrecognizable. Boundaries between the past, present, and future are blurred. Menacing technology and unchecked bureaucracy cut through everyday life with uncanny dread. The characters, from mango farmers to popstars to ex-guerilla fighters to cyborgs, are forced to make uncomfortable choices--choices that not only mean life or death, but might also allow them to be heard in a world set on silencing the voices of Central Americans. Blazing with heart, humor, and inimitable style, There Is a Rio Grande in Heaven subverts everything we think we know about migration and its consequences, capturing what it means to take up a new life--whether willfully or forced--with piercing and brilliant clarity. A gifted new storyteller and trailblazing stylist, Reyes not only transports to other worlds but alerts us to the heartache and injustice of our own."
