Someoddplanet: 25 Years of Someoddpilot

Closing Reception: January 10th 2025, 7pm-11pm

Join us for the opening of Someoddplanet, the Someoddpilot design studio’s 25th anniversary art & design retrospective at the Public Works Gallery.

For the past 25 years SOP has been blurring the lines between art & design for indie cultural and global brands alike. Someoddplanet captures this spirited approach in a once in a lifetime gallery exhibit, covering a diverse array of personal and commissioned work recontextualized as a gallery installation, and a new series of Someoddplanet apparel, records, and merchandise.

Background: Someoddpilot design studio was founded in Chicago in 1999, side by side with a record label of the same name. In the late 90’s graphic design felt new, and small studios were starting to show up on the radar in places like the Empty Bottle, or at record stores, designing local album covers, posters and flyers. Someoddplanet explores the connection between this commitment to art & design, friends, local artists and indie music culture with wider work for cultural institutions and global brands.
