ON THE COVER Richard Hunt Sculpture at The David Weinberg Gallery

We are excited to exhibit not only new sculptural works, but also Hunt’s lithography. Less known than his sculptural works and maquettes, Hunt’s lithographs are whimsical, colorful and strong. They exhibit a sense of experimentation wholly different from that of his welded and cast works.

But just like the visions that his hands, hammers and torches create, Hunt’s lithography, with a thoughtful and deliberate touch, reveals the inner workings of a contemporary master.

The David Weinberg Gallery is proud to present a solo show for Richard Hunt, this year’s recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Sculpture Center. Hunt (b. 1935) has had a long, prosperous career with deep ties to Chicago. He began exhibiting work as early as 1955, while still a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since that time Hunt’s work has been exhibited internationally to great acclaim and has earned him numerous awards, prizes, honorary degrees and fellowships, including the Guggenheim. Hunt is also well known for his public sculptural works in Chicago, including Freeform on the facade of the State of Illinois Building on LaSalle Street, Flight Forms at Midway Airport on the corner of 59th and Cicero, and We Will outside of the Heritage Building near Millennium Park.

At the David Weinberg Gallery our passion for art is the critical element to our success. We consistently produce thematic and objective shows that seek to challenge casual viewers and dedicated collectors alike. The core of our gallery’s integrity lies in our highly educated and deeply motivated staff. We are committed to our unique and evergrowing education program that establishes us as an innovative collaborator and leader in the gallery community. We showcase important work from emerging and well-established artists and lay a foundation for understanding the value of art. Emphasizing contemporary works in all media forms, the David Weinberg Gallery works in tandem with artists, educators and creative institutions to generate an exchange of ideas that educates and raises social consciousness.

News - What’s Happening It’s the season in Chicago to be outdoors enjoying city parks as well as suburban sculpture gardens, to take weekend tours of various gallery districts and to learn about Chicago’s many alternative and artist-run spaces.

We also welcome the “Building of the Century,” all 264,000 square feet of the Art Institute’s new Renzo Piano Modern Wing and the art that will be on display at the museum for Chicagoans and visitors alike for years to come.

The month of May kicks things off with three art fairs at the Mart: Art Chicago, NEXT and the Merchandise Mart International Antiques Fair. There will be dozens of educational programs and symposiums, and loads of satellite events and parties.

Explore the wonderous Buckminster Fuller dome at the Mart until June, and then, ‘take your time’ to be wowed by Olafur Eliasson’s transformative environments at the MCA this summer. Read on for the news and ﬁll your summer art calendar! 17

Art Chicago, NEXT, Merchandise Mart Antiques Fair Return May 1-4

Letter From The Publisher The art world is dead? That seems to be the message out there these days. When Chicago Gallery News was founded in 1983, there were 16 galleries listed in the first issue. Today we list 116 galleries, nearly 50 art services, 60 artist collectives and studios, and over 175 not-for-profit art organizations and institutions. And there are more galleries and spaces out there still to explore – or even to be opened. Some galleries have recently closed, and more will likely shut their doors this year for one reason or another. We will feel each unique loss. Artists must find a new gallery home or a new direction. Passersby see an empty window where there used to be art. The openings calendar is lighter by one more gallery. Our sense of community is impacted in more than one way because the shifts are real. While no one can predict our future, we’re not doomed as creative people. The most dynamic individuals among us will find fresh, innovative artistic directions and opportunities as they move on. I like to think that CGN is a caretaker of the city’s art reputation - responsible for keeping in touch with and best representing the strength and depth of Chicago’s art world while educating enthusiasts and offering clear, accessible information as part of an ongoing general art education. This latest issue builds on that mission and focuses on the collector. Art critic Alicia Eler introduces our new series this issue, “Collector Conversations.” She shares a revealing visit with video art collector Jefferson Godard about catching the art bug and talks about how he came to collect video art exclusively. Thomas Masters asks Thomas Robertello about his own journey from art collector to art dealer. And when visitors attend Art Chicago, NEXT and the Merchandise Mart Antiques Fair, all returning to the Mart in May, they will notice a new accessibility as well as multiple appeals to collectors of all levels and stages. Art Chicago will offer docent-led tours of the show floor all weekend, while CGN will lead a discussion at the Antiques Fair about how to get more young people to consider collecting fine art in a disposable, IKEA world. Finally, our two most prominent institutions show off in major ways this spring, guaranteeing myriad cultural opportunities for years to come. Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson magically alters the environments at the Museum of Contemporary Art all summer, while cultural neighbor, The Art Institute of Chicago, opens the long-awaited 264,000 sq. ft. Modern Wing on May 16. These two events are happening in a single season in our city, nowhere else, because our own living art community of galleries, studios, artists and collectors is a strong support system. So, 100 galleries beyond 1983, I’d say we’re a long way from that death sentence. - Ginny Berg

Art Chicago, NEXT, and the Merchandise Mart International Antiques FairTM take place May 1-4 at the Merchandise Mart. Preview parties are on Th, April 30. Visit www.artropolischicago.com for show hours, ticket prices & VIP info details.

Focus on Curators, Collectors at Art Chicago Art fairs are deliberately overwhelming – so much art & square footage, & so many panel discussion in a single weekend. We’ve encountered a new economic world since 2008, & with questions about the art fair market’s future in general, there is a lot to consider this spring. Art Chicago got the message that 2008’s fair was too sprawling & that too many fairs took place under the same roof. This year a leaner, more focused Artropolis consists of just Art Chicago, NEXT, & the Merchandise Mart International Antiques Fair. Art Chicago is smaller than in the recent past (as is NEXT). A simpliﬁed ﬂoor plan aids navigation, so visitors won’t walk in circles. A curatorial & collector focus, as well as a sophisticated insider VIP lineup, will stimulate seasoned art enthusiasts. Additional program updates for the general public are intended to make the art fair experience accessible as well as educational. Curated on-site exhibitions like Partisan & New Insight are stronger than ever, & docent-led tours of the show should lessen common art fair intimidation factors & communicate that the fair is a consumer experience, not a museum visit. New for 2009 is CONVERGE, a forum for over 30 regional curators to discuss topics confronting museums & curators in today’s economic climate. CONVERGE aims to facilitate discussion about the state of the current art market while also providing a setting to foster innovation & new directions. The public can engage with CONVERGE at various panels, & participating curators may take advantage of private receptions, dinners & tours with collectors & artists. Panels will be archived online as a public resource & to spur further dialogue in 2009. Visit www.artchicago.com for details & a list of exhibitors.

West Prize Returns to NEXT - with Ice Cream In 2008 the West Collection of Philadelphia launched its West Prize at NEXT, the invitational exhibition of emerging art. For 2009 the successful relationship continues. Last year’s attendees contemplated Jonathan Schipper’s Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle on-site slow motion car crash. This year the Dufala Brothers’ 13 ft., Ice Cream Truck Tank, a cross between a functional tank and an ice-cream truck, will keep everyone buzzing. The massive artwork embodies NEXT’s tradition of exhibiting major, large-scale art by emerging contemporary artists. The West Collection staff will serve visitors free ice cream out of the tank.

One of the nation’s premiere collections of emerging contemporary art, The West Collection has championed rising talents. The 10 Prize Finalists will show on the 7th ﬂ. of the Mart. Additionally, watch for the West Prize’s re-launch for next year: $125,000 in $1 bills in a sculpture vitrine to visually indicate the size of the purse that will go to 10 new artists in the 200910 season. The Prize is open to artists (18 & over) around the world working in every kind of media.

Antiques Show Entices New, Young Collectors The Merchandise Mart International Antiques FairTM returns to Chicago for a 12th year to offer an anthology of works that range from rare antiquities to modern design, in a variety of price points. Over 100 top dealers will showcase a range of antiques, including 20th C. Design, Americana, Asian Art & Antiquities, Barometers, Books, Clocks, Folk Art, Jewelry, Posters, Maps, Silver, Textiles & Tribal Art. The Fair is a sophisticated destination for collectors from all backKenshire Galleries, grounds and levels of experience. Several programs that are part of Tourquise Brooch this year’s fair pose questions about what collecting antiques means today when so many other things are currently mass produced and disposable. Martha Stewart is the Keynote speaker on May 1. She will offer a fresh outlook on old and new objects d’art and tying everything together with style. RSVP to 312-527-6885. 18

Chicago Museums Pull Out the Stops for Art This Spring Take your time: Olafur Eliasson May 1-September 13, 2009 at the Museum of Contemporary Art The MCA presents the ﬁrst U.S. full-scale survey of the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson this May, opening concurrently with Art Chicago and NEXT. Take your time: Olafur Eliasson was organized by the MCA’s Pritzker Director, Madeleine Grynsztejn, when she was Senior Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and we are fortunate that the exhibition has now followed her to the MCA.

Take your time spans Eliasson’s diverse work from 1993 to the present, including installations, large-scale immersive environments, freestanding sculpture, and photography. From light-ﬁlled environments to walk-in kaleidoscopes, Eliasson’s uniquely participatory works offer alluring spaces that harness optical cognition and meteorological elements. Born in Denmark but raised partly in Iceland, Eliasson’s practice is informed by the primordial Icelandic landscape and spectacular weather. He manipulates familiar elements such as light, water, ice, fog, arctic moss, and lava rock to create new environmental circumstances that shift the viewer’s consciousness and sense of place. Eliasson openly calls for active viewer participation by using the possessive pronoun ‘your’ in his work titles. Encounters become physical as well as visual when the viewer uses all senses to experience a blast ofair, warmth of a room, the smell of artic moss. “As formally diverse as his work is, it centers fundamentally on an actively engaged spectator, casting the viewer in a principal role in the workings of his projects,” notes Madeleine Grynsztejn. “Involving the viewer as a co-producer of the work is Eliasson’s central tactic for encouraging individual awareness, reﬂection, and ultimately a greater consciousness of the larger workings of our world.”

The Art Institute of Chicago’s Modern Wing Opening May 16, 2009 It’s here! The Art Institute of Chicago’s 264,000 sq. ft. Modern Wing opens to the public on May 16, introducing a new identity for the Museum and its many programs. When Millennium Park opened in 2004, it was as if the Art Institute had finally found a long lost, but hipper, relative. The downtown outdoor area that had long been barren and empty became shiny, new and filled with engaging art. It fit right in next to one of the most famous art museums in the world, and it brought streams of people to the museum’s doorstep all year long. Now the Modern Wing’s exterior east and west limestone walls, complemented by a glass and steel curtain wall on the north and south sides, create a transparency of the The Art Institute of Chicago. View of Facade at Night, Photo credit: northern elevation, integrating Charles G. Young, Interactive Design Architects. the interior of the building with the dramatic setting provided by the adjacent Millennium Park. A prominent new entrance to the museum, on Monroe Street, will create a new “front door” across from the park, and the museum will now be attached to Millennium Park via the Nichols Bridgeway, a 60 ft. high, 620 ft. long pedestrian bridge above Monroe, offering uniquely striking views of the city skyline and the lake - to anyone unafraid of heights. The Museum has long needed more space to display its vast collection, the third largest in the country, and the Modern Wing has 65,000 sq. ft. devoted to galleries, a 30% increase of total museum space. There are also new areas for education (20,000 square feet - a 100% increase), spaces for the public, for gardens and for plantings - truly space and opportunities for all Chicagoans and visitors for generations to come. 19

Ask Natalie Question: What background and credentials are required for art dealers? Answer: Besides obtaining a business license and following the usual procedures necessary in opening any business, art dealers (gallery owners) are not required to have special licenses, examinations or professional credentials. That said, most dealers enter the gallery world with varying degrees of education, connoisseurship, and experience with visual art. Almost all come to the process with a great deal of passion. Typically, the inspiration for opening a gallery is a special interest in a particular art form, period, medium or other focus. In some cases, an artist is interested in showcasing his own work (sometimes called a vanity gallery); more often, the dealer is interested in giving a forum for otherwise unrepresented artists – or presenting artwork from a particular country or genre. Those who began as collectors, are eager to share their enthusiasm and knowledge with new audiences. In a few cases, they are continuing a family endeavor – as second or third generation art dealers. Examples of backgrounds of just some of Chicago’s leading art dealers include: art critic; appraiser; architect; interior designer; corporate executive; elementary school teacher; high school English teacher; lawyer/collector; photographer; collector; art historian; museum staff; ceramic artist; chemical engineer; commodities trader; painter; musician. They have started out as young as 24, and some are still running their galleries in their 80s. Typically, the gallery owners or directors have pursued a speciﬁc artistic discipline or period; developed their eyes through education and experience, and have acquired an understanding of the international art market. Some specialize in contemporary art; photography; art glass; art from Asia, Europe, Latin America or Chicago. Others focus on work by outsider artists; art from the 19th or 20th century art; or modern masters. While their experience varies with personal education, years in the art world, and local or international art market knowledge, art dealers are enthusiastic about the works they present. They or their gallery staff always are open to questions and provide great resources to new art enthusiasts as well as experienced collectors.

Collector Conversations Chicago Gallery News introduces a new series focusing on the collector. For this first interview, art critic Alicia Eler spoke with Jefferson Godard, video art collector and Chair of the MCA's VERGE, about moving images, and how collecting art can be like getting a tattoo. You won’t find the evening news blaring at 6pm on a weeknight in Jefferson Godard’s home. For the past five years, the Chicago-based collector has carefully grown his exclusively video art collection and, like any art aficionado, strives to have pieces in every room, hallway, corner and doorway of his home. The only twist here is that they’re all on, competing for the viewer’s attention at the same time—something one can’t say about paintings. Now the Chair of VERGE, an emerging collectors group at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Godard is committed to cultivating both his own and the Chicago art scene’s appreciation of video by up-and-coming artists. We sat down in his living room where, on a particularly chilly day, candles flickered in Jay Heikes’s two-channel video Still from Marc Swanson’s Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime installation The Sixth Re-Telling (2006); silver tinsel flashed between shots of a gay serial killer from the 1970s psychedelic porn flick, Bijou, in Marc Swanson’s fast-paced, one-minute mish-mash Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime (2006); and a fireplace — a real one, not a prerecorded video— warmed the room. Tell me about how you became interested in video. For me it grew out of studying the city as an architecture graduate student. I lived in Berlin from 2001–2003 and, for me, understanding the city became more conceptual than historical or linguistic—I began to see Berlin through the means of film techniques, like pan, montage and still. Through that I fostered a growing love of film and video. When I got out of school and started working, I was naturally drawn to video and the multiplicity of images, which I know can be contradictory because someone who loves painting could say the same thing about that medium. But for me, this became part of my experience with video. How do you live with the constant stimulation of video art? It helps to have works to choose from, and it helps to change it up. I get to experience a variety of pieces but, to be perfectly honest, they eventually become background noise— like a low-playing radio. I guess the constant noise of television is more disconcerting for me than video art because I’m not used to it, it changes in volume, and at least there’s a steadiness to a video piece—it kind of becomes a timbre. I know what the Jay Heikes’s piece sounds like, I know what the Marc Swanson piece sounds like, whereas commercials and television shows are in constant flux. Did you set out to buy only video, or did it just happen? After I bought a Taryn Simon photograph from Gagosian Gallery in New York, art collecting became its own animal. Once you decide to invest that much of your own money into something you really love, it’s going to be part of you and part of your aesthetic—it becomes an obsession, like anything else.

(continued from previous section)

Do you think collecting art is similar to the way people are with tattoos, like once you get one you have to get another? That’s an interesting analogy. When you buy art, it’s not like you’re buying 100 shares of IBM that you can sell. You’re buying work that you really have to love, that you have to experience, that you have to live with, and you’re inking yourself—it’s going to be permanently on your body. And of course you can get it removed, of course you can sell something, but who knows if the ink will all come out, or if you can actually sell a piece of art. Do you foresee selling any of the videos? You can’t think about it because it doesn’t happen that much unless it’s a Bill Viola. If I ever sell something it would be to buy something else. Because, like a tattoo, if you have free skin you’re going to put another tattoo on it. You’re not going to buy another person and tattoo them, right?

The SCA aims to enhance the Art Institute's collection. Every year members review a selected group of contemporary works, and, through a voting process, choose one or more objects to purchase on behalf of the museum. SCA membership is available in 6 categories, ranging from $150 - $2,500. Contact Jenny Gheith for details: jgheith@artic.edu or 312-443-3630 MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Did you start collecting with certain themes in mind? After you buy a certain number of works, you realize that you have a theme. For me, those themes are humor, sexuality, the sense of self—how the self relates to society, and the study of the self. The work isn’t all narrative, either, and everything is cacophonic.

I also have a lot of “firsts”—a lot of my work is from emerging artists. I have the first video Kara Walker made, three of Guy Ben-Ner’s first videos, one of Jay Hikes’s first videos, Marc Swanson’s first video, Robin Rhode’s first studio work that he did inside, rather than on the street, Kate Gilmore’s first video that she did with a sculpture installation that she showed alongside of it. I like that my collection has that emerging energy. (interview continues at top of page)

How long have you had your gallery? Three years. I am originally from the east coast and was an avid collector before becoming a gallery owner, acquiring some great work from locals including Roy Boyd, Maya Polsky, Tony Wight, Kavi Gupta, & Scott Speh of Western Exhibitions to name a few. Does coming from the collecting side give you a different perspective as a dealer? Yes, it does. You can really understand the collectors. All the subtle angles, interests, and approaches they take to buying - I relate well to them! What do you most often suggest to new collectors in terms of their approach? Ask as many questions as you want and buy what you love. I tell collectors that it is OK if they like only one artist in the gallery. Go for the ART not the dealer! I like many galleries in Chicago but would maybe consider collecting only one or two Thomas Robertello on his bike in the gallery artists from each. Most gallerists would say they would collect every artist from their own gallery, however, I am slow and have usually considered purchases for a while before feeling confident to buy. One has to know the work and find the right piece that suits them. Does your gallery have a focus? I like to describe my focus as "strange beauty" - work that reveals itself slowly but also has a direct entry point regardless of the medium. When I began my goal was to support emerging artists, and my gallery is sort of a lab for emerging artists to experiment. When you believe in an artist and encourage them to work without the pressure of the market place, they create superior work and develop a sense of trust. I take my cues from them and don't question their need to change direction in their work. Describe an early challenge for you. Well, from the get-go most of the artists were further along in the art world than I was. So, I had to catch up. This was suddenly not a hobby, and I had to grow into it fast. How do you feel your gallery is doing so far? I feel good about what has happened so far. The credit is due to the artists' work mostly, and we have had many reviews in local, national, and international publications. Local museums and collectors have acquired work, but it's a constant uphill battle to promote artists, and I have a lot of work to do! Most of all I enjoy the new relationships that have developed out of having a public space and my friendships with artists. We have done some art fairs too - AQUA, WYNWOOD (Miami), NEXT (Chicago) Describe your recent Miami art fair experience. Like many galleries there, we sold some work, but not really enough to pay the expense of doing the fair. Most galleries did not sell well, and I think the general mood was that things were pretty slow - at least reserved compared to previous years. What about the future of the "Art Fair?" The fairs may shrink and many will disappear completely. After all the current market is driving many galleries out of business. There is some expectation from artists to do the fairs, but the cost is heavy and the results are not always what you hope for. Some galleries just can't hang on and do expensive fairs too in the present climate. We have seen this already in Chicago with some dealers who were young, energetic, and showed interesting new work. How will you hang on? I will not give up. I enjoy the business and I will find creative solutions to this difficult time without imposing too many limits on the artists I am working with. 21

Artists Run Chicago

Wander the Block Museum’s Sculpture Garden this Summer

Learn about the City’s Alternative Spaces As Part of Hyde Park Art Center’s 70th Anniversary

Warm weather ﬁnally arrives and Chicagoans get their long-awaited chance to come out of hibernation and enjoy the area’s many green spaces for a couple of months. If you’ve gotten used to Millennium Park’s artistic surroundings and want a change this summer, visit another well-known garden just a short trip away in Evanston.

Artists Run Chicago at the Hyde Park Art Center is an exhibition showcasing the energy and audacity of some of the most noteworthy artist-run spaces that have inﬂuenced Chicago’s contemporary art scene over the past decade.

The Sculpture Garden at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University was founded in 1987 by Leigh Block, one of the Museum's inaugural donors and a preeminent collector of modern art. Block bequested a large group of bronze sculptures to the Museum, along with an endowment for their maintenance. Works by artists such as Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Joan Miró, and Henry Moore constitute the core of the Outdoor Sculpture Garden. Tours of the Garden are available and coincide with tours of works located within the museum.

Chicago has long been known for cultivating a strong entrepreneurial, Do-It-Yourself spirit in business and the arts. The city’s artist-run venues have transformed storefronts, sheds, apartments, lofts, industrial spaces, garages and Courtesy of Vincent Dermody and Suitable Gallery, 2003 roving spaces into contemporary art galleries, testing the notion of exhibition while complicating the deﬁnition of art. Coinciding with the Hyde Park Art Center’s 70th anniversary celebartion, 70 Days for 70 Years, Artists Run Chicago reconnects the Art Center to its beginnings as an artist-run space by bringing much deserved attention to the outstanding spaces that continue to reinvent the mold unique to Chicago.

The sculpture collection has shaped recent summer programming and also inspired further donations to the Museum, including a grouping of prints by sculptors Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, and other modern artists. Admission is free. Closed M; Tu 10-5; W-F 10-8; Sa, Su 12-5 Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art Northwestern University 40 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston (60208) Tel 847-491-4000 www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu

Approximately 15 different events are planned as part of Artists Run Chicago, including installations, performances, video, art objects and ephemera provided by artist-run galleries (those still in existence as well as some that have closed). Two notable, festive gatherings taking place are:

• On Sunday, May 31 from 1-5pm there will be a cookout presented by Suitable Gallery, with a bean bag tournament provided by NFA Space and a Ping-Pong tournament run by Old Gold Gallery.

Earthworks Artist Diana McNish Saves & Creates at Salvage One

• On Saturday, June 20 from 3-10pm, Joymore hosts the 4th Thrill II the Party – an outdoor extravaganza with participatory art works by local artists.

At a time when everyone is thinking ‘green’ as well as how to ‘save’, Salvage One, champions of creative re-use for nearly 30 years, present a unique exhibition: Of This Land – The Artist’s Touch honors artists who create place-inspired artwork composed of detritus from nature and culture. The show features sculpture by Diana McNish, photographs by Marian Drew, and an installation by Mudboy

Additional details about planned events will be available on www.hydeparkartcenter.org & www.chicagogallerynews.com. Please check both websites often for calendar updates. Participating venues include: 1/Quarterly, 65 GRAND, Alogon, Antena, artLedge, Butchershop, Co-Prosperity, Dan Devening, Deluxe Projects, Fraction Workspace, Fucking Good Art (FGA), Green Lantern, He Said-She Said, Hungry Man, Joymore, Julius Caesar, Law Office, LiveBox, Margin, Medicine Cabinet/Second Bedroom Project Space, Mini Dutch, Modest Contemporary Art Projects, NFA Space, Normal Projects, Old Gold, Polvo, Roots & Culture, Scott Projects, Standard, Suitable, Swimming Pool Projects, Teti, VONZWECK and many more. The exhibition is curated by Britton Bertran and Allison Peters Quinn, with assistance from Jacob C. Hammes and Francesca Wilmott.

During the earthworks movement of the late 60’s, early 70’s, artists like Andy Goldsworthy & Robert Smithson ventured into the landscape, arranging natural objects in direct interaction with the land & then typically rendering, & exhibiting, their work or experience with photography. Artists participating in Of This Land – The Artist’s Touch bring natural remnants, salvage, or detritus into their studios to create their own unique visions. Diana McNish incorporates pieces of, and references to, a location from her childhood in her work: a cluster of beaches on the Gulf Islands off the shore of Vancouver, BC. The source of inspiration for each of her sculptures created over the 40 years is driftwood collected on or nearby Savary Island, where she spent summers as a girl.

The Center also plans to build and house a permanent and public archive documenting Chicago’s past and present artist run spaces through the gathering of materials for Artists Run Chicago, and a publication documenting the exhibition will be produced by ThreeWalls/Green Lantern Press.

McNish travels annually to Savary Island to gather driftwood, & she carries the pieces, bundled in burlap sacks that have washed ashore, back to her Geneva, IL studio where she brings the driftwood back to life, sculpting references to mythology, literature, history, & her imagination.

From Addington Gallery we hear that a traveling 7-year survey exhibition of mixed media encaustic paintings by gallery owner and artist Dan Addington was completed in January. Midwestern engagements included Ball State, Saint Cloud State, Arkansas State, & John Brown University. The exhibition traced the development of Addington's technique, which incorporates beeswax, tar, upholstery fabric, and industrial varnish from 2001-2008. Solo exhibitions of Addington's work are scheduled in 2009 at the Rymer Gallery in Nashville, TN, and in 2010 at Linstrum + Matre Gallery in Atlanta, GA. Work from the traveling exhibition can currently be seen at Addington Gallery in Chicago.
