Arts of Life and Circle Contemporary are excited to announce Objects in Mirror are Closer than they Appear. An exhibition that features representations of automobiles and car culture as symbols of freedom, self-expression, safety, and individuality; while simultaneously demarcating these phenomena as functions of time and desire that epitomize the economic, cultural, and social conditions from which they appear.Opening reception:

“I can’t tell if you’re serious or not,” said the driver.
“I won’t know myself until I find out whether life is serious or not,” said Trout.
“It’s dangerous, I know, and it can hurt a lot. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s serious, too.”

MAR 19 – APR 12|Newhart Promenade
Opening Reception: MAR 19 | Thur. 5 – 6:30 PMChicago artist Ryan Richey uses painting to vanquish the demons of the past – both his own and the art world’s. Love, aspirations, neuroses, melancholia – the detritus of modern life’s psychology fills Richey’s paintings with a humble magnificence. Like the best of Philip Guston and Robert Gober, these paintings acknowledge the futility of life, but also its inherent beauty. Any Chicago artist making a certain kind of work is going to be compared to the Chicago Imagists. Richey’s work echoes the playfulness of the Imagists, but it lacks their arch provocation. His protagonists are sincere, flawed, and quietly joyful.

THE COLLECTORS / VISITATION RITES II
Opening Reception: Saturday December 7, 6-10pm
From December 7 to December 28, 2013The Collectors
Corinne Halbert Chris Lin Ryan Richey
“Art making in the 21st century is crowded with ghosts. Whether we acknowledge them or not, they are often not only present in our work, but are also the catalysts. Once it was a prerequisite to copy the old masters if you were to be an artist, now you usually just need a degree. Since we already have MFAs, we felt it was time to undergo that age-old tradition by attempting to make the works that deeply inspired us to make art in the first place.”
Visitation Rites II
By Chris Smith & E. Aaron Ross
Visitation Rites is a venue (fire pit) for a sculpture exhibition and content generator for a documentary video of an art exhibition opening. Using the concurrent exhibition The Collectors as the prompt and setting for the video, ghosts of art history will be burnt in effigy over the Franklin’s sacrificial altar.

November 11 2012 - January 6 2013
Opening Reception: Sunday, Nov. 11 2012 4 to 7Living By Example is an exhibition focusing on the continued rise and growing popularity of Chicago-based artist-run “apartment exhibitions.” For this exhibition Edra Soto and Dan Sullivan are creating a structure within the confines of a traditional gallery space. The Franklin, the name given to the structure, is being built in the form of a modern shed which, once the exhibition is complete, will reside in the backyard of Soto and Sullivan’s home and will act as their version of the common “apartment exhibition” space.
The exhibition featured in The Franklin will consist of work from Soto and Sullivan’s private collection. Artists included in the exhibition are Jeroen Nelemans, Ryan Richey, Ryan Travis Christian, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung, Deborah Boardman, Dana Carter, Kirsten Leenaars, Zachary Cahill, Ann Toebbe, Melissa Oresky, Alberto Alguilar, Corinne Halbert, Meg Duguid, Heidi Norton, Paul Nudd, Maria Gaspar, Mindy Rose-Schwartz, Eric Brown, Catie Olsen, and Michael Rea. The exhibition will open on Tuesday February 14th and run through Friday March 16th.
There will be a reception for the artists on Friday February 17th from 6-9pm. On Thursday February 23rd at 3pm Catie Olsen and Erik Brown will give a talk entitled Domestic Spaces and Alternative Venues followed by a discussion of artists as collectors by Edra Soto and Dan Sullivan. All events take place in the gallery and are free and open to the public.

Artist Lecture: The Uncommon Nature of Artists as Collaborators, with ED JR. and (ƒ)utility projects collective members Paola Cabal and Edra Soto, Monday, September 26, 6pm, Conaway Center
Closing Reception: Wednesday, November 2, 5-7pm.
CoLaboratory examines the nature of collaborative art by creating a visual record of this process and exploring the cultural constructs that support it. Using dramatic video projections and mobile structural interventions, Chicago artists' collaboratives ED JR. and (ƒ)utility projects will exhibit works created independently within each group, but integrated in the Glass Curtain Gallery with reference to both the space and the interactions experienced in the development of the exhibition. Visitors are invited to adjust the structures on which video projections are shown, amending and re-forming the evolving images as they move. Four gallery events will allow visitors to participate in ED JR.’s large-format painting practice; the videos from these interactions will then be screened in the exhibition itself. CoLaboratory will address the inherent frictions and challenges of collaboration, as well as its fruitful outcomes.CoLaboratory is curated by Annie Morse with ED JR. and (f)utility.

This is Paul Halupka is a group exhibition of artworks in dialogue with the identity of a young man named Paul Halupka, a near stranger from the curator’s past.
Emphasizing a relational, project-driven brand of portraiture, works on view are the results of extensive engagements between each artist and Paul.
A full color catalog featuring contributions from Jessica Cochran, Karsten Lund and Fred Sasaki will be published for the exhibition.

Studies and compositions often play a vital role in the artistic process. Whether a five-minute sketch on paper or a finely worked image on canvas, these efforts reveal the thoughts of an artistic mind at work.

We are artists and curators. Therefore we shall further be known as curists. You can call us curists. 1213 Sharp was once a classroom converted to a studio by the institution. The studio became a gallery via Xavier and Jesus. Presently the gallery contains the studio due to us. A void was created. So we painted it black. It is everything now. David Kellogg Lewis said so. -R.R.
