Things of interest to me

Art Insititute of Chicago – Irving Penn: A Tribute, Konstantin Grcic: Decisive Design, On the Scene: Jason Lazarus, Wolfgang Plöger, Zoe Strauss, and more of course including spending more time in the Modern Wing.

Museum of Contemporary Photography – Reversed Images: Representations of Shanghai and Its Contemporary Material Culture

Chicago MCA – Liam Gillick: Three perspectives and a short scenario as well as Artists in Depth: Liam Gillick, Jenny Holzer, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt that puts Liam Gillick’s work into a historical context of contemporaneous artists as well as preceding works.  AND! Italics: Italian Art between Tradition and Revolution 1968–2008

I am particularly excited about stopping by Zolla/Lieberman  to see Garrett Durant’s Weighting Days. I met Garrett when I was living in Chicago and I really enjoy his work and am excited to see him getting a show at a gallery like Zolla/Lieberman.

Check him out.

(P.S. This is one of my favorites)

I would be glad to hear any other suggestions of shows going on while I am in town Monday through Sunday.
