Kavi Gupta Gallery: Melanie Schiff
About the current exhibition
Kavi Gupta CHICAGO is proud to present its third solo exhibition with LA photographer Melanie Schiff. Comprised of the artist's most recent photographs, the exhibition takes its name from the town where the artist lives on the periphery of Los Angeles. Like much of Schiff's previous work, "Sun Land" brings together discrete events to form an enigmatic environment, an imagined landscape that eludes navigation and gradually imparts each work's depth and complexity.

Andrew Rafacz Gallery: Lake Effect / Nor’easter: Part I : Tory Fair, Jeff Perrott, Daniela Rivera, Joe Wardwell

Western Exhibitions: Mark Wagner
About the current exhibition
In his third solo show with Western Exhibitions, MARK WAGNER continues his exploration of the US Dollar as material, from cutting up the bill for elaborate collages, to drawing, painting, and printing on it. Subverting and subduing the almighty dollar thusly, the symbol reverts to its simplest identity... that of ink on paper.
