Jean Albano Gallery.</figcaption></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By GINNY VAN ALYEA</p><p>EXPO Weekend is here. It's officially called EXHIBITION Weekend in 2020, and it's not taking place at Navy Pier with 40,000 fair visitors, but coordinated in-person and virtual programming and openings in area galleries is taking place in the coming days, along with special events and a curatorial forum, in the spirit of any other EXPO CHICAGO weekend.&nbsp;</p><p>Early this summer <a href=\"https://www.expochicago.com\"><strong>EXPO CHICAGO</strong></a>, which typically dominates the region's cultural calendar each September and heralds the start of a major fall art season, made the decision to move to spring 2021 due to the global pandemic. The fair's first predominantly virtual initiative is not actually focused on the fair itself and its exhibitors, but in community galleries and arts groups in an effort to tangibly support that local community this season while also engaging with collectors, curators and artists around the world.</p><p>“Given EXPO CHICAGO’s commitment to our community, there was no hesitation to make our first predominantly virtual initiative in support of Chicago—celebrating the breadth and scope of the city’s vibrant creative community while providing an access point for international audiences to connect with local artists, gallerists, and collectors. With support from Presenting Sponsor Northern Trust and others, we are proud to partner with Hook on the development of the online viewing room that will enable EXPO CHICAGO to continue to present the highest quality platform for contemporary art and culture,” said Tony Karman, President | Director of EXPO CHICAGO.</p><p>Taking place during the days the fair was to happen on Navy Pier (September 25–27, 2020) EXHIBITION Weekend underscores EXPO's commitment to local galleries, artists, and institutions, showcasing Chicago-based exhibitions, curatorial projects, and artist programs through a series of virtual programs including studio visits, exhibition and gallery tours, and discussions accessible globally, as well as a custom online viewing and sales platform developed by Hook, an online venue for seasoned art collectors and leading galleries.&nbsp;</p><p>“At a time when we are all craving more activity and interaction with one another, we are happy to be able to partner with EXPO CHICAGO to provide a way for people to experience EXHIBITION Weekend remotely,” said Hook Founder Jake Nyquist. “Hook will approximate the experience of an in-person art fair, allowing visitors to navigate the fair at their own pace and in whatever direction they choose.”</p><p>The link to the fair will <a href=\"https://hookart.com/exhibition-weekend\">go live</a> at 10 AM Friday, September 25</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p class=\"lead\">Special Events&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image image-style-side\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418804/ucj3rqhcvqx7isrma6hy.jpg\"><figcaption><i>Facility</i>, Nick Cave and Bob Faust. 2019 Limited-Edition Print.
