    Gaylen Gerber 20 September - 21 December Opening Reception: 20 September 2018 at 6 – 7:30 p.m. Gallery Talk with Forrest Nash: 21 September 2018 at 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. The Arts Club of Chicago is pleased to present the first survey of Gaylen Gerber’s Supports, an ongoing series in which the artist intervenes upon collected artifacts. Offering pause for reflection on a shared history, Gerber’s art is indebted to both the monochrome and the readymade. Supports features objects of diverse origin, each painted uniformly in institutional gray or white. Whether a mirror from the Kennedy winter White House, a Brazilian milagre, or a vintage coke bottle, each is undated and bears the title Support. Gerber’s attentive, almost “reverential” brushstrokes, as Roberta Smith has described them in the New York Times, render the objects visible in a new way. This survey elaborates on the decentralization of attention while it affirms the all-encompassing aspects of the artists’ practice. For his exhibition at The Arts Club of Chicago, Gerber places the works in the gallery to suggest a cohesive visual field, yet at the same time, he differentiates each object through the regularity of its painted surface. The resulting installation encourages recognition of a shared reality, even as it enables diverse emotional responses to individual Supports, ranging from delight to distress. Gerber acknowledges the undertakings of vast cultural traditions as well as their often beautiful, sometimes poignant limitations. The exhibition further addresses a larger question about how and why objects so often remain compelling. The survey affirms the more inclusive aspects of the artist’s practice.

    Best Art Shows of 2013

    Best art shows of 2013 'Impressionism' at Art Institute best in show in a funky year December 13, 2013 By Claudine Ise, Special to the Tribune Phyllis Bramson, "Idle Hours" (2000). (Elmhurst Art Museum) When it came to Chicago's visual art exhibitions, 2013 was not a historic year. There were few if any truly ambitious new art works, nor did we see many museums experimenting with innovative exhibition forms. Instead, 2013 was a year where artists and art institutions alike were consumed with the subject of history itself. Is looking backward the only way to move forward? For now, the answer seems to be yes, so we'll follow suit. Below, in no particular order, are this year's highlights. 1. "Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity" at the Art Institute of http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-12-13/entertainment/chi-best-art-shows-2013-20131213_1_art- institute-arts-club-imagism Chicago, June 26-September 29: It was designed to be a wildly popular, world-touring blockbuster, and in that it succeeded, but this incisive look at figurative painting's relationship to Parisian fashion from the 1860s-1880s also drew on rock-solid scholarship and offered fresh perspectives on familiar Impressionist classics — not to mention close- up views of the chicly beribboned garments that inspired them. 2. "Africobra in Chicago," The South Side Community Art Center, the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, and The Dusable Museum of African American History, May 10 – September 29: Not only did this vibrant trio of exhibitions and related programs offer the most comprehensive survey yet of the aesthetics, culture, and political philosophy of AFRICOBRA (African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists), they provided a necessary corrective to the notion that Imagism and its offshoots were Chicago's only historically significant postwar art movements.

    Biographical Notice of Professor S. W. Burnham of Chicago

    * 4' 509 7 142 Biographical Notice of Professor S. W. Burnham of Chicago. By the death in Chicago, March I I, 192 I, of Professor Sherburne Wesley Burnham, the celebrated dis- coverer of double stars, America has lost one of her most illustrious astronomers, and double-star astronomy its most eminent cultivator since the days of W. Herschel and K Struve, who laid the foundations of this branch of the science about a century ago. Professor Burnham was born at Thetford, Vermont, Dec. 12, 1838, and thus he attained the age of 82 years and 3 months. Though retired from active observing for about ten years, Bumham had enjoyed moderately good health for his years and somewhat frail build, and finally succumbed to weakness accentuated by a fall, in which a hip was broken. After this misfortune he lingered some three weeks, without extreme suffering, yet the shock proved too great for the feeble recuperative power incident to his advanced age. Burnham was married in the years of his early manhood, and is survived by his aged widow, several sons and daughters, including a number of grandchildren. A more detailed account of his family will be given by Professor 3.E. Barnard, in a biographical notice soon to appear in Popular Astronomy. Here it must suffice to give an outline of his scientific career, which has left so deep an impress on the science of his country and of his age. In his youth this future celebrated astronomer had received only a common school education; but already in the days of the civil war he happened to become possessed of a copy of Burritt's Geography of the Heavens, which so interested him that it turned his attention to astronomy, and he lived to devote to this science over half a century of active observation and research, with the largest telescopes in the world.
