Think twice. It is an EXPO tradition to coordinate city-wide art exhibitions showcasing Chicago&#8217;s vibrant artistic spirit in addition to the main exposition. And with 2023 being the 10th-anniversary edition, the programming is more extensive and comprehensive than ever. Spanning from the famed River North through the under-discovered South Side, then venturing into Chicagoland suburbs, there are so many things to see during EXPO art week for artists, curators, writers, or any art lovers in general.<\/p>\n<p>So, in case you are wondering where to start: We&#8217;ve chosen eight exhibitions from this year&#8217;s alignment to help you build your &#8220;must-see&#8221; list.\u00a0 And we sincerely recommend you spend a decent amount of time at each exhibition to build a genuine connection with the artwork and the artist or curator&#8217;s narrative. After all, art is here to help reframe our perspectives, and that is not something you&#8217;d want to rush.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CmE9v-esS5S\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

SKIN + MASKS, curated by Vic Mensa and Chanelle Lacy, deploys a seminal text by Antilles-born author Frantz Fanon as a foundation for a group art exhibition aimed at decolonizing art beyond the politics of visibility.<\/p>\n<p>In his 1952 book Black Skin, White Masks, Fanon presented a psychoanalytical tour-de-force, exposing how colonization weaponized skin as an agent of alienation, imposing an existential divide on people. Stepping away from the vantage point of White gaze, SKINS + MASKS features work by a range of Chicago-based contemporary artists and explores meaning of identity from the perspective of individual realities.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413744\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413744\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413744\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x-842x562.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x-406x271.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3_Barely_Fair_at_Color_Club_1280x-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413744\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: EXPO Chicago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barelyfair.com\/\">BARELY FAIR<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Color Club, 4146 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL 60618<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honey, I shrunk the art fair! BARELY FAIR is an international art fair operated by Julius Caesar.

Wacker Dr. Chicago, IL 60601<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago has an interesting relationship with wooden architecture. The Chicago Fire was an unforgettable chapter in our city&#8217;s history, yet mass timber&#8217;s endless possibility of sustainability continues to bring architects&#8217; attention to the world&#8217;s oldest building material.REFRAMED: The Future of Cities in Wood tells the story of building with mass timber and features architectural models of mass timber projects worldwide, from public spaces to office buildings and adaptive reuse to new construction.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition explores the many positive aspects of building with mass timber, including sustainability and safety. It also reflects on biophilia, the human instinct to seek connections with nature. Biophilic design centered around wood creates aesthetically pleasing environments and has been proven to promote well-being and positive mental health benefits among occupants. Echoing Windy City&#8217;s history, REFRAMED will also present a striking visual demonstration of the superior ability of mass timber to withstand fire.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413747\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413747\" style=\"width: 1796px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-413747 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"expo art week double negative \" width=\"1796\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-scaled.jpg 1796w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-2000x1336.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-842x562.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-406x271.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/GF_KR_ADKT_1-scaled-1-600x401.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1796px) 100vw, 1796px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413747\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Katherine Sim\u00f3ne Reynolds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/grahamfoundation.org\/public_exhibitions\/6371-a-different-kind-of-tender-and-the-practice-of-overhealing\">Katherine Sim\u00f3ne Reynolds: A different kind of tender and the practice of overhealing<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Madlener House, 4 West Burton Place, Chicago, Illinois 60610<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In her first solo exhibition in Chicago, Graham Foundation Fellow, Katherine Sim\u00f3ne Reynolds continues exploring overhealing from trauma in a new body of work that includes photographs, a two-channel film, sculptures, and other works.

And with Chicago being the home of over 1.7 million immigrants, accounting for 18% of the city&#8217;s population (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vera.org\/\">Vera Institute of Justice<\/a>), casting light onto the reality immigrants face is significant and meaningful to building sustainable and progressive conversations around the communities.<\/p>\n<p>ART WORKS Works Projects and CASE Art Fund present From BordersCruzada to Borderlines: an exhibition and discussion between photographers Will Sands and Oscar Castillo, alongside Cathy Edelman, co-founder of CASE Art Fund. This two-part project explores the lived experiences and geography of border politics and immigration at the Southern border of the United States, outside of the deeply politicized debates which often overshadow the individuals and landscape at the heart of the conflict.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_413749\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-413749\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-413749\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649.jpg\" alt=\"Nirmal Raja aesthetics of loss Wrung Out\" width=\"1500\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649-370x217.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649-842x494.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649-406x238.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_6649-600x352.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-413749\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nirmal Raja, <em>Wrung Out (2021)<\/em>, Clothing dipped in porcelain slip, glazed and fired, wooden dowel, varied sizes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/uima-chicago.org\/aesthetics-of-loss\">Aesthetics of Loss<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, 2320 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tragedies have struck the US and the world in many forms in the past few years, and Chicago has had its own heartbreaks with 630 homicides and over 2600 shootings in 2022 (<a href=\"https:\/\/news.wttw.com\/2022\/12\/01\/chicago-tops-630-homicides-2600-shootings-2022-police\">WTTW<\/a>). When a violent crime takes life away, the ones left behind embarked on a difficult and heartbreaking journey of honoring their memories of the deceased while spending the rest of their life grieving and healing. However, this long and arduous healing process is often under-represented, leaving a dark and ominous atmosphere around the subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>Aesthetics of Loss is a collection of works by seven artists who have experienced the loss of family members recently. Their studios became places for grieving and understanding the sudden vacuum of losing loved ones either suddenly or over a long period of illness. Caregiving, memory, helplessness, loss, and the ultimate mystery of death are explored through painting, print-making, fibers, ceramics, photography, installation, and video. Some artists utilize objects and clothing left behind by their loved ones and transform them into artworks and some use ritual and natural materials as memorial or commemorative actions of grieving and coming to terms.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: <\/em><em>Installation view of Skin + Masks, in collaboration with EXPO CHICAGO, The Magnificent Mile \u00ae Association and Kavi Gupta.
