Living By Example is an exhibition focusing on the continued rise and growing popularity of Chicago-based artist-run “apartment exhibitions.” For this exhibition Edra Soto and Dan Sullivan are creating a structure within the confines of a traditional gallery space. The Franklin, the name given to the structure, is being built in the form of a modern shed which, once the exhibition is complete, will reside in the backyard of Soto and Sullivan’s home and will act as their version of the common “apartment exhibition” space.
The exhibition featured in The Franklin will consist of work from Soto and Sullivan’s private collection. Artists included in the exhibition are Jeroen Nelemans, Ryan Richey, Ryan Travis Christian, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung, Deborah Boardman, Dana Carter, Kirsten Leenaars, Zachary Cahill, Ann Toebbe, Melissa Oresky, Alberto Alguilar, Corinne Halbert, Meg Duguid, Heidi Norton, Paul Nudd, Maria Gaspar, Mindy Rose-Schwartz, Eric Brown, Catie Olsen, and Michael Rea. The exhibition will open on Tuesday February 14th and run through Friday March 16th.
There will be a reception for the artists on Friday February 17th from 6-9pm. On Thursday February 23rd at 3pm Catie Olsen and Erik Brown will give a talk entitled Domestic Spaces and Alternative Venues followed by a discussion of artists as collectors by Edra Soto and Dan Sullivan. All events take place in the gallery and are free and open to the public.

CoLaboratory
September 6-November 2, 2011
Glass Curtain Gallery
Opening Reception: September 8, 5-8pm, part of ArtCrawl, Columbia College's annual fall artwalk
Artist Lecture: The Uncommon Nature of Artists as Collaborators, with ED JR. and (ƒ)utility projects collective members Paola Cabal and Edra Soto, Monday, September 26, 6pm, Conaway Center
Closing Reception: Wednesday, November 2, 5-7pm.
CoLaboratory examines the nature of collaborative art by creating a visual record of this process and exploring the cultural constructs that support it. Using dramatic video projections and mobile structural interventions, Chicago artists' collaboratives ED JR. and (ƒ)utility projects will exhibit works created independently within each group, but integrated in the Glass Curtain Gallery with reference to both the space and the interactions experienced in the development of the exhibition. Visitors are invited to adjust the structures on which video projections are shown, amending and re-forming the evolving images as they move. Four gallery events will allow visitors to participate in ED JR.’s large-format painting practice; the videos from these interactions will then be screened in the exhibition itself. CoLaboratory will address the inherent frictions and challenges of collaboration, as well as its fruitful outcomes.
CoLaboratory is curated by Annie Morse with ED JR. and (f)utility.
Gallery Hours: Mon-Wed, Fri 9am-5pm, Thurs 9am-7pm, Sat 9am-5pm

The Other Side
We are artists and curators. Therefore we shall further be known as curists. You can call us curists. 1213 Sharp was once a classroom converted to a studio by the institution. The studio became a gallery via Xavier and Jesus. Presently the gallery contains the studio due to us. A void was created. So we painted it black. It is everything now. David Kellogg Lewis said so. -R.R.

My Whole Life
Thirty paintings from the pages of Ryan B. Richey
Richey's words capture flashes from his experience quicker than visuals. At the heart of his practice, they spring from the page and have manifested into his latest ongoing projects - his painting series, My Whole Life, and his music collaboration, Hannis Pannis.
Opening night will feature readings from the text and a performance by Hannis Pannis.
Readings and performances by Ryan B. Richey and other artists on Friday February 27 from 6-9pm.
