Address brings together twenty sculptures by the Chicago-based artist Richard Rezac produced over the last two decades. Alongside a number of new works commissioned by the Renaissance Society, the exhibition features primarily recent sculptures and a small selection from earlier in his career. Presented together, they demonstrate the artist’s ongoing engagement with the sculptural logic of geometry and the elusive mechanisms of interpretation. Opening Saturday, April 21 

Guest-curated by filmmaker Cameron Granger, Video Playlist is a recurring series of one-night public video screenings programmed in response to MoCP exhibitions. Granger, whose work examines notions of blackness and representation in film and media, will curate a program of video works that respond to these themes in In Their Own Form.

Taking place April 25 at MoCP 6-8pm.

Closing April 28 at Carl Hammer Gallery, Mary Lou Zelazny's works on canvas act as a viewer’s transport to worlds and planes of dreamlike existence.  The hybrid combination of the artist’s gestural painting fluidity combines with the slickness of clipped collage images. 

The first iteration in a three-part exhibition series, Expanding Narratives at the Smart Museum uses the formal relationship between the figure and the ground in Western art history as a conceptual springboard into discussions around visual representation, the museum space, and the role of the Smart Museum’s collection in fostering the exchange of diverse perspectives. On view as of April 24. Special reception May 7, 7–8:30 PM

The Chicago Artists Coalition presents Body as Image, a HATCH Projects exhibition featuring three Chicago-based artists exploring the body, gender, and race through historical and contemporary modes of photography. By distorting the viewer’s perception of space and time through medium, Kioto Aoki, Colleen Keihm, and Darryl DeAngelo Terrell invite viewers to encounter the unique intimacy of experimental photographic processes. Opening Friday, April 27, 6-9pm.

Opening Friday, April 20 at the Art Institute of Chicago is an exhibition of prints by Helen Frankenthaler, one of the most significant figures in the development of American abstraction. Best known for her monumental and boldly gestural canvases awash in vibrant hues, she also produced prints at the print workshop Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) over nearly two decades. Featuring over 50 prints from Frankenthaler’s time at ULAE, this exhibition reveals an artist enchanted with what she called “the romance of a new medium.”
