Hybrid Infestation
Solo installation by Mia Capodilupo

Opens July 10th at Art City

Mia Capodilupo draws on science fiction, disease, pandemics, and climate change to create an immersive installation using found and fabricated wood, ceramics, plastics, semiprecious stones, fabrics, plaster, and rubber. The installation spreads into every corner and crevice of the space, evoking an invasive and evolving ecosystem.

Not a Patient Woman
Solo exhibition by Yuliya Klochan

Opens July 10th at Art City

Yuliya Klochan’s Not a Patient Woman urgently presents viewers with stories of social justice and amplifies marginalized voices. Defiant and bold, the figures in these works represent the diverse experience of “other”, eliciting joy and portraying visceral pain. The show also thoughtfully plays with the meaning of being patient, referring to Klochan’s identity as a disabled person. She spent years striving to be a "good patient", but has since shed that goal and empowered herself to feel, be, and exist as she truly is.

CASH ONLY: An Ode to Dive Bars
Group Show

Opens July 10th at Art City

Cash Only: An Ode to Dive Bars is a curated group exhibition featuring artwork celebrating Chicago’s beloved no-frills watering holes. From new takes on classic photobooth strips to transformations of beer cans into art, and even experimentations with neon light, this exhibition captures the spirit of Chicago’s dive bar culture.
