Christian Zanotto

AsAbaroK – Christian Zanotto’s Personal Exhibition
Red Stamp Art Gallery
20 April – 26 May 2012
Virtual artworks, through a photographic exposure process, condense themselves on gleaming crystal sheets, becoming mirrors in which, next to our reflected image, beautiful, perfect and smooth entities of elsewhere appear. Mysterious sacred and profane female figures, madonnas and virtual porn-stars configured as icons of power and luxury, hieratic goddesses of perversion and voluptuousness; an unknown language, covered by enigmas and soaked with magic.

Art Institute of Chicago has commissions Katharina Fritsch for a site-specific, sculptural installation

The Art Institute of Chicago has recently commissioned Katharina Fritsch for a site-specific, sculptural installation. The German artist’s curious cast of characters–oversized versions of a hand, fern fronds, an apple, an egg, a human skull, St. Michael, and a Madonna, among others–will be on display on the Bluhm Family Terrace atop the museum’s Modern Wing through October 28, 2012. These nine brightly colored sculptures, divided up into three distinct groups of works (1. Stilleben/1st Still Life, 3. Stilleben/3rd Still Life, and Apfel/Apple) , were produced between 2009 and 2012. Fritsch’s fastidiously crafted objects–rendered in bronze, copper, plastic, and epoxy–offer visitors an alternative, perhaps unsettling, view of these often iconic forms.

Parcours

Parcours
Art Institute of Chicago
April 21 – September 9, 2012
Parcours –a French word for “route” or “path”–in the United States designates an educational or exercise trail, a loop marked by sights or gymnastics, always with explanatory texts and often with diagrammatic drawings as well. It is, one could say, an outdoor exhibition circuit for the improvement of one’s mind and body. The Art Institute of Chicago’s own Parcours–a sort of model exhibition and conceptual art project–presents a similarly conceived itinerary indoors and online.
