Chicago, IL – Art in Display is an art exhibition curated by Kristyna Comer composed of storefronts along W Division St between Damen and Ashland. Art is Display features art installations by local and national artists in the stores’ display windows, placing art in a new, public venue. Media include photography, sculpture, drawing, fiber, video, mixed media, and more.
Art in Display is participating in the eleventh annual Chicago Artists Month, an event that showcases emerging and established local artists. The Chicago Artists Month featured artist and participant in Art in Display, Ursula Sokolowska, will be exhibiting her work that combines installation and photography at D/Vision, an optical boutique, located at 1756 W Division.
Art in Display is a curatorial experiment that utilizes commercial space for its visual dominance and accessibility to a wide audience, placing art exhibition in a public-viewing domain. The storefronts offer new installation possibilities and activate a new space for art exhibition.
The opening reception will take place at the stores along Division St. on Friday, October 13 from 6 – 9 PM, including Habit, Cattails, Casa de Soul, D/Vision Optical, Alliance Bakery, An Je Nu, Lola, Pump, Noir, and Nina. Artists include Peripheral Media Projects (Brooklyn, NY), Natalia Ivancevich, Karin Patzke, Ursula Sokolowska, Dee Clements, Uninhabitable Mansions (Brooklyn, NY), Ben Durham (Midway, KY), Package Deals (New York, NY), Kim Hoffman, Eric Portis (Denver, CO), and Anne Lass.
