Jackson: <i>Take Me To The Water</i></h3><p><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/ayana-v-jackson-take-me-to-the-water\">Mariane Ibrahim Gallery</a></p><p>Opening Friday, September 20.&nbsp;</p><p>437 N. Paulina St., Chicago</p><p><i>Take Me to the Water</i>&nbsp;presents a holistic survey of Jackson’s work to date, a culmination of varied discursive elements present in Jackson’s more than a decade long career. These portraits and movement studies offer a sense of the breadth of her practice, while at the same time taking her into new territories with regard to the range of her performances.</p><p>Jackson has used the archival impulse to assess the impact of the colonial gaze on the history of photography and its relationship to ideas about the body. She uses her lens to deconstruct 19th and early 20th century portraiture&nbsp; as a means for questioning photography’s role in constructing identities. Her thesis is further complicated by the presence of the artist’s figure. She uses her own body to perform the characters with whom she concerns herself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418614/vjhxabidptivimlgrjxe.jpg\"><figcaption>Jeffery Gibson</figcaption></figure><h3>Jeffery Gibson: <i>Can You Feel It</i></h3><p><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/jeffery-gibson-can-you-feel-it\">Kavi Gupta Gallery</a></p><p>Opening Friday, September 20.&nbsp;</p><p>219 N. Elizabeth St., Chicago</p><p>Jeffrey Gibson combines Native American traditions with the visual languages of Modernism to explore the contemporary confluence of personal identity, culture, history, and international social narratives. Gibson is a member of the Chocktaw and Cherokee nations. Gibson’s multicultural perspective informed his study of art history, and helped him to develop a personal style that has manifested across several dynamic and diverse bodies of work, in which traditional native materials like animal hides, beads, and tipi poles intermingle with modern mediums like spray paint, acrylics, ceramic and tape. One of his most recognized series involves punching bags that Gibson deftly transforms into aesthetic totems.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418615/s270beb4ypiawnnxcyy5.png\"></figure><h3><i>Outside the Practice II&nbsp;</i></h3><p><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/outside-the-practice-ii\">Bridgeport Art Center</a></p><p>Opening Friday, September 20.&nbsp;</p><p>1200 W. 35th St., ChicagoIn OUTside THE PRACTICE: MONUMENTS AND PLACES OF MEMORY, Chicago-based architects and designers present distinctive and original visions on the topic, relieved of the constraints of conventional architectural practice.</p><p>Curated by Stephen Wierzbowski, FAIA, Edward Keegan, AIA, and Lelde Kalmite, works include drawings, paintings, sculptures, photography, watercolors, installations, mixed media, and sketchbooks.
