Carl Hammer Gallery
A sculptor’s enigmatic mixed-media assemblages speak riddles about the lives of young black women in America.

Having shown their sculptural work together last year in Japan, the pair will surely please again.

Former Chicagoan Edie Fake returns with colorful and graphic paintings evoking gender fluidity and the ties between mental and sexual health.

4

Art Institute of Chicago
From London’s Fourth Plinth to the Art Institute’s outdoor terrace, a monumental bronze sculpture of a skeletal horse yokes culture to capital.
