The Subtle Perspective
by Georgina Ruff
Jin Lee at Devening Projects + Editions
April 22nd - June 2nd
Posted
5/4/12
As the title suggests, subtle contradictions frame Jin Lee's current show, The Near and the Far at the Devening Project Space. There is always the stark contrast of interior vs. exterior at Devening: the dilapidation of West Carroll that secrets the crisp clean whiteness of the gallery. Lee's photographs soften, yet continue this contrast, playing stark against serene, universality against specificity, and yes, near against the distant far.
The works are immaculately installed in the solely dedicated... [more]

David Salkin/ Room for Views in Newcity

April 1st - April 29th

...by Kelly Reaves in Newcity:
On the surface, David Salkin’s “Room for Views” is a whimsical celebration of texture and pattern—a slight divergence from his work as an interior designer, but certainly not much of a leap. The difference, perhaps, is that in “Room for Views,” Salkin gets to let loose and create his ideal room, “with the hopes of discovering a therapeutic and highly customized environment,” says the artist. Upon further consideration, this whimsical celebration turns int... [more]

Alderman Exhibitions is one of Chicago's favorite galleries and one of the city's most innovative. Recently Alderman relocated and renovated their new digs into a clean, sophisticated gallery space where they are presenting an exhibition of the artists they represent. Daniel Bauer's two photographs of a dust-laden tree and modern architecture are quiet standouts that draw the viewer in with their enigmatic questions. The opening of the new space featured Robert Chase Heishman and Brendan Meara's featu... [more]

... by Tara Quell from Newcity:
Steeped in the art historical practices of Minimalism, Jon Waites’ solo exhibition “Radical, Work” combines his youthful preoccupation with skateboarding and the basic forms of the notable movement. The work challenges some basic assumptions of artistic practice, such as the sculpture/painting divide, while based in a vernacular of skateboarding. Read more>> [more]

On February 4th, PEREGRINEPROGRAM introduced Jon Waites’ newest solo exhibition. Radical, Work is a collection of works investigating the forms of an adolescent obsession with the architecture and constructed spaces of wheeled street-based sports. Ramps and inclines, shifted in scale and material, are relocated and arranged into a quiet obstacle course inside of the East Garfield Park artist-run exhibition space. Read more>> [more]

Time Out Chicago profiles Alderman Exhibitions, Hinge Gallery and the Mission
Three new Chicago galleries promote local artists and more.
By Lauren Weinberg
We should pour out a PBR for the West Loop’s late, lamented gallery-bookshop Golden Age, which closed in November. Yet 2011 was the first year since the recession that Chicago didn’t hemorrhage exhibition spaces. Moreover, the city gained some venues that are notable for their generous visions of what a commercial gall... [more]

Back in 2002, John Allen Muhammad, the “Washington Sniper,” captivated the country through his brief months of infamy as he made his way with his young accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo on a long and winding road from Washington state, through the Southwest and Deep South, to Maryland and Washington, D.C. gunning down twenty-seven random victims with his rifle. In 2005, photographer Joel W. Fisher retraced Muhammad’s journey, shooting with his camera the depopulated sites of the killer’s deeds. Leaving as... [more]

Joan Waltemath is a painter’s painter. While artistic experimentation has been a kind of tour-de-force, somewhere outside of painting, Waltemath has aggressively insisted that paint is still a frontier. It is left to wonder how obviously challenging her paintings and drawings appear to those who have no relationship... [more]

43 Miles From Center: The Winter Opening at Water Street Studios - by Zachary Johnson

hen Water Street Studios first opened in its temporary space near the corner of Water Street and Wilson in Batavia, IL, my mind was filled with preconceptions about the art that would be on display. Having attended various art fairs in the western suburbs, I assumed the art of Water Street would be more of the same: nature photography, realistic paintings, and predictable abstraction. Upon entering I was taken aback. What was once my hometown’s candy store had become a space containing striking me... [more]

The visual arts scene in Chicago dispenses doses of exhilaration and frustration in equal measure. Not a month goes by when I don’t encounter a new artist producing engaging and substantive work. At the same time, the number of established galleries exhibiting such artists remains stubbornly small. While alternative spaces in the region do a good job picking up the slack, most do not have the connections or resources to promote their artists to a wider audience of collectors and curators.

Great Show-Great Technique

Went to the opening, and was very impressed with the work!! A group show, most of the pieces showed complex techniques that kept pulling me back for yet another look. Trying to understand how it was done. Because it wasn't just paint thrown on a canvas and completed in a week or even two. The evolution of complex brushwork is reflective of the months spent on each piece. Definitely a lot great art to see in this show and the whole Zhou building!!! [more]

I'm not an art critic but I was really taken by Raquel's work and the way it was shown at Alderman Exhibitions. The best way I have to describe her work is as peaceful and charming as the artist herself. Talking to her about her grandfather's creative work and her immersion in it was such a revelation that we can learn from our ancestors in new and different ways. The exhibition space itself is filled with the exuberance of youth with a different twist on your usual gallery. The bi... [more]
