THURSDAY EVENINGS – the SECOND Thurs of the month

Gallery Sitting is a Free jazz jam. A creative exchange through performance. Bring your instrument and get in the jam.

Marching Wolf's America is the result of 5 years of walking, hitchhiking and driving through the U.S. and Mexico. During his journey Wilk has explored American history, culture and social phenomena. The central theme of this project is the current condition of society and the country, as well as a reflection on philosophical and cultural principles that built the United States of America.

Marcin Wilk, aka Marching Wolf, is a New Orleans-based Polish photographer and traveler. Trained in philosophy and international relations—and interested in history, art and social phenomena—he applies both his education and passions to his photography. He focuses on urban and rural decay, portraits of ordinary people, and landscapes.

In Anne-Joelle Tan’s debut solo show “Pound,” recognizable objects and imagery transcend the everyday morphing into loaded iconography. With the use of a range of materials such as oil paint, deer antlers and rust on steel to name a few, these icons are recontextualized. Original meanings are stripped away; the surrounding images and meme sensibilities impregnate the icons with new connotations. Through a deliberate selection of readymade internet screenshots and naturally occurring camera roll gems, digital and personal histories coalesce into ludicrous narratives ripe for a multitude of interpretations. Throughout her work, humor and nonsensicality are punctuated with the occasional unexpected glimpse of earnestness which borders on a voyeuristic kind of intimacy. These compositions are littered with sly references and inside jokes with oneself.

How is the world changing? What could that mean? What agency do we have in that change? How can we take control of the change for the common good? AND NOW is an exhibition that will explore those questions. It will be on display in Chicago during August 2024, when the Democratic National Convention is in town.

AND NOW is a follow up to AND THEN, a 2020 Agitator exhibition that asked artists to express their hopes, dreams and fears for a post - pandemic reality.

The EXHIBITION runs from August 10 through 24 / OPENING Reception: Aug. 10 from 6 - 10 pm
