Borne from the city’s multi-decade legacy of ground-breaking, internationally recognized art fairs, EXPO CHICAGO’s founder and President Tony Karman forged a new era a decade ago through his vision to return the fair to Navy Pier, where it all began, and carefully tend to the quality of the exhibitor list and curatorial programming. Since 2012 he has grown EXPO despite significant obstacles, pandemic pauses and seasonal date changes. Karman, ever the tireless optimist has helped to foster countless artistic as well as civic opportunities and has secured EXPO’s reputation as an international, Chicago-based fair today and in the future.</p><p>Since its inception, EXPO CHICAGO has remained dedicated to supporting local, regional, and international arts communities through its role as a leading contemporary art exposition, presenting one of the highest quality platforms for curatorial programming and discourse alongside its participating galleries. With strong regional support throughout the Greater Midwest, both coasts, and maintaining a growing international commitment from Europe, Asia, and Latin America, EXPO CHICAGO continues to leverage its strategic position in the center of the United States this spring as it celebrates a decade of artistic impact.&nbsp;</p><p>Hundreds of exhibitions, openings and more are planned, and we encourage you to review the calendar in advance as much as possible. Many events are open to the public but some are for VIPs only. Please check dates and details.</p><p><i><strong>EXPO ART WEEK runs April 10—16</strong></i></p><p class=\"lead\"><a href=\"https://www.expochicago.com/\">expochicago.com</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>This feature is from the Spring/Summer 2023 issue of CGN.

The exhibition features work by over 50 contemporary artists in a multigenerational grouping that examines water through the lens of magic, ritual, and the role of the ‘witch’, or medium, in contemporary art. Free to the public, the travelling exhibition evolves to address water-related issues in each city it inhabits through new site-specific commissions and community-based programming. The exhibition pairs work by Chicago-based artists including Armani Howard and Ricardo Partida in conversation with rarely exhibited works by canonical artists Marina Abramović, Radcliffe Bailey, Niki de Saint Phalle, David Hammons, Maya Lin, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, and many more.&nbsp;</p><p>April 13–14 | 10:00am–5:00pm&nbsp;<br>April 15–16 | 10:00am–7:00pm&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>April 17–20 | 2:00pm–8:00pm&nbsp;<br>April 21–23 | 8:00am–10:00pm</p><p><a href=\"https://www.artincommon.art/\">Art in Common </a>| 400 N.

The work features a hypothetical vision of Chicago as it might have appeared in prehistoric times, collaged with manipulated depictions of the city at present, and theoretical depictions of its appearance in the future. The images will be commingled with ChatGPT machine learning-generated text based upon the lyrics from the 1964 song <i>My Kind of Town</i> <i>(Chicago is)</i>. The looping video will combine text and images to create a forward-looking remix that covers a wide spectrum of history and popular culture, put through the blender of artificial intelligence, which will define much human activity in the digital renaissance we are living through.&nbsp;</p><p>On view April 13–June 30, 2023&nbsp;<br>Opening Reception | April 14 | 6:00–8:00pm&nbsp;<br>Artist Talk |
