Group exhibition of young talent from Chicago and beyondLisa Boyle Gallery
New Work by Brian Getnick
The first solo exhibition for Chicago artist Brian Getnick, the show will features works on paper, sculpture and performance related to the artist's in-depth fantastical narratives. Made of ancient and modern mythologies combined with personal flights of fancy, these wild narratives comment on the interaction of man, animal and technology in a way that is surreal and magical.Corbett vs. Dempsey
Four WPA Muralists in Their Studios (1925-1945)
Henry Simon, Ethel Spears, Rainey Bennett & Mitchell Siporin
These four artists were all well known as Chicago muralists, contributing paintings to public buildings across the Midwest and elsewhere during the period of the Works Progress Administration. But Simon, Spears, Bennett and Siporin were all accomplished studio artists before and after the period of the WPA, and this exhibition presents a selection of works they produced - canvases, works on paper, prints - when they weren't making murals. A new view of some of our city's most acclaimed artists.Fraction Workspace
Duncan MacKenzie and Shannon Stratton
Lisa Boumstein-Smalley and Geoffry Smalley
Shannon Stratton and Duncan Mackenzie's installation constructs a miniaturized section of abandon Roller Coaster left to decay after years of delight. Lisa Boumstein-Smalley and Geoffry Smalley's installation depicting Mount Rushmore is a conflation of landscape and politics, whose visibility and absence is an attempt to catch a glimpse of this National Monument off guard.
