Chicago Art Week | Ornament & Information Opening Reception
Join Gertie for the opening reception of our latest exhibition, Ornament & Information, at the Chicago Cultural Center.
Ornament & Information presents a group of artists who live and work in either Chicago or Vienna. Through direct or indirect means, these artists' practices engage and expand upon a historic intercity dialogue that spans the realms of modern architecture and mid-century free-market economics. The ideational pipeline between Chicago and Vienna has never necessarily been of a one-to-one nature; rather, it is a product of certain intellectual characteristics developed by one city being then synthesized and transcended by the other. It is with this synthetic character in mind, and the synthetic nature of modernity in general, that the work and practices herein operate, salvaging perhaps some sliver of potential for living from the scrapheap of history.
Exhibiting artists include Gaylen Gerber, Heimo Zobernig, Benjamin Hirte, B. Ingrid Olson, Miriam Stoney, Devin T. Mays, Micah Schippa Wildfong, Nora Schultz, Valentina Triet, Max Guy, Josef Strau, Anna Sophie Berger, Walter Pichler, Isabelle Frances McGuire, and Diane Simpson.
