Being a feminist and loving men is not a contradiction, yet many women artists today rarely express an unabashed desire for men in their work. Girl on Guy presents evidence of a passionate and sincere feminine perspective, repositioning the term “feminist” as it relates to current artistic practices. Featuring many Chicago artists, this exhibition promises to engage the national dialogue of feminism and all of its attached negative and positive stereotypes from a Midwestern point of view, while physically engaging the public in a series of related events. Artists include Cynthia Plaster Caster, Sylvia Sleigh, Melanie Schiff, Riva Lehrer, Oriana Fox, Jane Fisher (image credit), and Julia Hechtman, among others. |

MultiXply investigates the production of multiplicity-based forms. Examining multiplicity as the all-pervading phenomenon that it has now become, it brings together an exciting mix of presentations with regard to multiplicity in art, design, architecture, science, and theory. Through this coming together of complementing and diverging parts the exhibition aims to convey a unified assembly of facets that is more than just the sum of its parts. Featuring the work of Robert Krawczyk, Jesse Seay (image credit), and Alyson Shotz. |
