Posted: 2008-09-03 14:01:37 Erika Rothenberg Recent Works September 5th - October 11th, 2008 Opening reception: Friday, September 5th, 5-8pm Zolla Lieberman Gallery proudly presents recent works by artist Erika
Rothenberg. Critic Margaret Hawkins describes Rothenberg as "observing no
polite boundaries"; her wry humor works in tandem with sharp social
commentary. From custom signage to greeting cards to shower curtains,
Rothenberg's commonplace items slyly camouflage visual puns and adept word
play.
Erika Rothenberg's work has been widely displayed at major galleries and
institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, NY, and The Museum of
Contemporary Art, Chicago. Her work is in many private and public
collections, and Rothenberg has completed several large-scale public art
projects. Currently, Rothenberg lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Posted: 2008-09-04 09:55:11 On Friday September 5, 5-8pm, you are cordially invited to Addington Gallery's ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY, as we open the season with an exhibition of innovative new paintings by Ronald Clayton. Clayton's work has been a strong pillar of the gallery since the mid 90s, and with this new body of work, the artist pushes his unmistakable and unique style into exciting new territory. Clayton's new paintings almost burst off the wall with an unbridled new energy, and yet this energy finds it's counterpoint in a contemplative, formal restraint. This restraint is based both on the underlying geometry in the work, and the artist's empathic concern for the landscape that lies, at risk, just beyond the doorways and windows of his invented, painterly constructions. View our website for more information and images.

Posted: 2008-09-04 12:08:24 Lisa Nankivil "World's Edge....recent paintings" September 5 - October 11, 2008 Opening: Friday, September 5, 5:30-8pm The McCormick Gallery is pleased to present its second solo exhibition of
Minneapolis-based painter Lisa Nankivil. Nankivil's paintings explore
qualities such as motion, ascendance and hierarchy. Each painting is
built upon layer after layer where texture and contrast dominate. While
discussing the stripes in Nankivil's work, Kristin Makholm Ph.D. said
"Nankivil enacts (this) tension through stripes that refuse to
behave...like Venetian blinds, the stripes obscure layers and dimensions
beneath their surface."

Posted: 2008-09-05 07:55:31 MICHAEL HERNANDEZ DE LUNA, September 5th - October 18th, 2008 Artist's Reception and Book Release: Friday, Sept 5, 2008, 5:30-8:00pm. In officially opening our 2008/09 exhibition season, Carl Hammer Gallery
is honored to present the thought provoking art work of venerable
Chicagoan Michael Hernandez de Luna. Though steeped in controversy,
Hernandez de Luna's activist's vision largely concerns itself with
satirically exposing contemporary social disorder and moral misconduct.
In this, his newest body of work, he continues, as he has in the past, not
taking the road most traveled by. This exhibition, as he does in his
newly published retrospective of work, American Beauty, commemorates an
abundance of topics concerned with politics, religion, and sex by infusing
them with a variety of popular culture images and other media material.

former department store to now showcase the departments and associates of

Posted: 2008-09-02 14:22:26 STEVE HANSEN "Mythologies: Propaganda and Commerce" Opens Friday, September 5, 2008 Reception 5 to 9 p.m. featuring works from his popular Gods of Commerce series, re-combinations
of mythological icons which have been appropriated by marketers in their
attempts to sell various products. Added to this, his new Propaganda
series has widened the net - from products to ideology and the 'permeable
nature of truth' -continuing the theme but focusing on the selling of
"truth" rather than products. While the connection to Pop Art in this new
work remains strong, Hansen has revisited the consumerist vs. capitalist
argument and enlarged it to bring into focus the irony of polemic truths
living side-by-side on the same object.

Qin Fengling - Multitude
Curated by David A. Parker
September 5 - October 11, 2008
Opening reception September 5, 2008, 6 - 9 pm
Qin has been painting for more than 20 years and is largely self-taught,
but only recently has she begun to exhibit her work publicly. The
sensuously sculptural nature of her works derives from her squeezing
paint directly from the tube to form masses of tiny human figures, each
bearing a painted facial expression, arrayed in dense patterns that fill
the visual field. The works are microcosmic snapshots of China's "quarter
of humanity" as it surges toward an uncertain future.

Posted: 2008-08-29 11:39:56 Patrick Lundeen: Sin Will Find You Out Opening Reception: September 5, 2008, 6:00 - 9:00 PM Artist Talk: September 6, 2008 , 300 PM On View until October 11, 2008 Patrick Lundeen's paintings vibrate in person. The accumulation of
twitching, stitch-like brush-strokes and bold colors seem to electrify his
singular, emblematic imagery - a mixed bag of fallen pop-culture heroes,
domestic trappings, log cabins and the supernatural. In total, Lundeen's
(often recurrent) imagery generates a kind of personal vernacular that
adds up to his own perverse totem. The dirty old man and the lonely
bachelor get equal time, and may be one and the same, between Woody Allen
masks and a 2 a.m. hand-me-down television, Lundeen permeates his
paintings with feelings of unease, fear, and as he calls them, the
"midnight creeps."

"RAZKUACHE" exhibition (continuing through October 3)
Artists' Reception: Friday, September 5, 4:30-7:00 pm
Rasquache is a form of Chicano folk art--a bricolage of Mexican and
American sources and styles that include fine art practices, folk, funk,
pop, imagist, mass media, political, and techno to create visual
celebrations of the underdog and marginalized peoples. The slightly
subversive spelling of the title of this exhibition reflects a post-modern
appropriation of the sensibility as it applies to visual art, with an
inventive, often-defiant Pilsen/Chicago spin. Artists include: Patricia
Acosta, Ricardo Santos Hernández, Noelle Mason, Kenneth Morrison, Gilbert
Rocha, Marcos Raya, Gabriel Villa. RAZKUACHE is curated by Marcos Raya
and is supported, in part, by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a
state agency.
ROUNDTABLE: SEPT. 11, 6 p.m. with guest scholar Victor Sorell.

Posted: 2008-09-02 09:46:33 Laura Ball: The Last Lap Sep 5-Oct 11, reception Fri, Sep 5, 5-8pm In this exhibit, Laura Ball pushes forward from her previous series, War Games, and continues to explore the psychology of role-playing and game theory. A powerful subtext in this series is how gender influences the viewer's perception of aggression and violence. The behavior of winners and losers is examined through her narrative and reinforced by her paint handling. In these paintings the material of the paint reflects the internal narratives of her Modern Day Fairy Tales. It challenges and sticks to the figures, binds them, then lightens and lets go, dissolving, moving through space. It flows, explodes, settles and dissipates, playing with the surface and depth of the canvas while playing along with the emotions of the figures, expanding the content of the work beyond that of a simple linear narrative. Gallery hours: Tue-Sat, 10-5:30

Posted: 2008-09-02 11:01:24 Opening Reception 6-9 pm for CONRAD FREIBURG'S second solo exhibition: "A Great Daydream" show runs through October 11, 2008 Alan Artner's (of the Chicago Tribune) pick for 2006 Chicagoan of the Year, Conrad Freiburg, presents a timely exhibition, combining both interactive sculpture and installation that puts forth with true beauty and craftsmanship the artist's formal and metaphorical interpretation of the Declaration of Independence. Of particular note is Freiburg's "Voting Machine" which, by the turn of a crank, demonstrates our Nation's ability to create and/or destroy our own freedoms. The project space will also exhibit an array of drawings produced by
Freiburg over a period of a few years that reflect his many journeys and
experiences.
