Cool Hunting
Kansas City artist Kacy Maddux, whose headless sketches in the University of Chicago Renaissance Society's "All My Pretty Corpses" exhibition caught a lot of attention in 2005, is to be featured again in the Windy City.
This time her fine illustrations are to be featured in a solo exhibition at the Gescheidle gallery in downtown Chicago. These free-hand drawings appear to riff on the theme of anatomy and symmetry while remaining fairly abstract. It's an interesting installment in this 27 year-old artist's career, presenting "empirical information metaphorically, and intuitive misunderstandings literally." The result is equal parts new age and science class, to stunning effect.

For this show, Smith uses titles to comment on social networking, each piece reflecting a self-involved, momentary declaration of his frame of mind while making...
Wonder Twins' call to action, "Wonder Twin Powers, Activate" is a group show opening tomorrow, 14 July 2006, at Chicago's Gescheidle gallery. Featuring works that are "aesthetically charged, and reference symmetry and metamorphosis," images range from Erik A. Lang's classically-composed homoerotic photographs to Colleen Asper's neo-icon paintings to the collaged psychedelia of Rob Yamabushi (pictured). Wonder Twin Powers, Activate! Opening 14 July 2006, 6-9pm Through...
Featuring work by artists who are "altering materials and repurposing objects that prompt viewers to investigate the act of looking and perceiving," the unifying theme behind the impending group exhibition "Deviate" may be a little broad but it makes for a show that speaks to CH's penchant for the obsessively subversive. The nine artists represented take a largely conceptual approach using a diverse collection...
With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...

The exhibition is a juxtaposition of two close knit painters that have forged stellar careers with corresponding trajectories. Both share roots in the New York City transit system subway graffiti movement of...
Artist Brian Dettmer dissects books to expose the beauty of their anatomy. Using an X-acto knife and tweezers, Dettmer pulls away carefully selected layers of books, revealing a complex view of their internal organization. In this time when the book is no longer the most efficient way to store and transmit data, Dettmer's transformations are at once nostalgic and forward-thinking. His process is a...
