It’s that time of year again, and we’ve got an ambitious 4-part program that you shouldn’t miss! We have invited four artists new to the gallery to present an installation of their choice. Each week-long installation culminates with a Saturday afternoon “conversation” that will be free and open to the public. Each artist will be paired with another art world participant to start the discussion but audience members are encouraged to join in. Chicago contemporary art podcast Bad At Sports will be onsite covering the talks, to be archived forever on the world wide web. Treats and hot drinks provided by Letizia’s Natural Bakery will complete the cozy afternoon of collaborative thought.

Shteynshleyger’s (Russian-American, born Moscow 1977, lives Chicago) photographs—portraits, still-lifes, landscapes, and interiors—display a historic sensitivity that is at once personal and political. Arts patron Waldburg-Wolfegg is on the Advisory Committee of the Museum of Contemporary Photography and the International Committee of the Renaissance Society, where Shteynshleyger had solo exhibitions in 2004 and 2007 respectively. Shteynshleyger will be previewing some of her new work in progress.
