The original format of the exhibition space existed as monthly installations in her front yard, from which grew the Terrain Biennial. Ott passed away in the summer of 2018.</p><p>The Terrain Biennial takes place on lawns, in front yards, on porches, beneath awnings, and in windows. Residents partner with artists to bring striking, contemporary artwork into their communities. The Terrain Biennial challenges the way art is often confined to institutional spaces and class-specific audiences. Building on Chicago’s rich tradition of apartment galleries and artist-run spaces, the Biennial brings contemporary art into the intimate terrain of the front yard, fostering dialogue between neighbors and providing access to new art for a wide range of people. The theme of this year's Terrain Biennial is to take stock of the landscape that people are living in today. What is the <i>terrain</i> that we occupy? What is the topology of our moment? Artists and hosts have been asked to reflect upon the ways in which our environment changes us and how we are changing it.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418622/oomddce089vskvqpdmv1.jpg\"></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/george-klauba-last-chance-tattoo\">George Klauba: <i>Last Chance Tattoo</i></a></h3><p>Hofheimer Gallery</p><p>Opening Friday, October 4.&nbsp;</p><p>George Klauba is self-taught fine artist. This show of new work at Hofheimer Gallery is a sort of return from retirement. Klauba was previously represented by Ann Nathan Gallery for many years.&nbsp;</p><p>Born in 1938 on Chicago's southwest side to parents of Lithuanian descent, Klauba's father was a machinist by trade who moonlighted as a stage magician. His mother introduced him to the <i>Art Institute of Chicago</i> and the <i>Field Museum of Natural History, </i>places Klauba says influenced his education more than traditional schooling. In 1956, just short of his eighteenth birthday, Klauba enlisted in the Navy, serving for three years. After being discharged, he pursued a commercial art career at Chicago's American Academy of Art and he was a graphic designer for the Sun Times for 27 years before becoming a fine artist.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418623/nw0x3f2tfgewv5hmd22x.gif\"></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/erwin-overes-round-2\">Erwin Overes: Round 2</a></h3><p>Gallery Studio Oh!&nbsp;</p><p>Opening Friday, October 4.&nbsp;</p><p>Erwin Overes was born and raised in the Netherlands, where he worked as an RN.&nbsp; He changed his career path to cultivate his artistic side and moved to the US to go back to school. Erwin tried his hand at interior design, but realized that he was more of a director than a creator. He began to craft furniture that he wanted to place in these planned interiors. Working as a furniture designer/maker on his own for 2 years, he discovered that the restrictions of the need of functionality steered him more towards sculptural work. After receiving his masters, focusing on wood sculpture, he has been privileged to work in his own studio creating pieces with total artistic freedom.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418624/g2y2l2i1xohvyu0fxeq9.gif\"></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/cornelia-arts-building-open-studio-f2412f08-64e3-4066-bc89-5d40317001bd\">Cornelia Arts Building Open Studio</a></h3><p>Opening Friday, October 4.</p><p>Established in 1986, the Cornelia Arts Building is one of the largest all-artist-studio buildings on Chicago’s Northside. CAB is located in the epicenter of three distinct Chicago Neighborhoods: Lakeview, Roscoe Village, and Ravenswood/North Center.</p><p>More than 40 artists in the building host multiple open studio events throughout the year, featuring painting, photography, jewelry, sculpture, ceramics, metal smithing and more, plus hallway guest artist exhibitions.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418625/rmjmc3foawwrycrqvnk4.png\"></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/word-to-mother-solo-show\"><i>Word to Mother: Let Love Lead the Way</i></a></h3><p>Vertical Gallery</p><p>Opening Saturday, October 5.&nbsp;</p><p>“Let Love Lead the Way” assembles paintings created over the past two years in Word To Mother’s seaside studio — a collection of work that examines the virtues of a positive mindset, celebrating moments of happiness and kindness through the lens of primitive characters inspired by 1930's cartoons. The exhibition is split into two bodies — salvaged pieces and layered paintings — featuring cartoon animals united by a shared spirit of perseverance&nbsp;and positivity.&nbsp;A range of textures and objects including rusted metal surfaces and vintage wooden patinas (some in WTM’s personal collection since 2004) provide the perfect backdrop for the artist’s menagerie of characters, which he executes in a&nbsp;limited palette with minimal use of gold leaf. Gestural marks and layers of illustrations form the surfaces of the contrasting pieces, with WTM's singular line work exploring the optimism and joy that the character forms express.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Born and raised in an English seaside town, Word To Mother studied illustration in art school, from there expanding into graffiti and tattoo art — pursuits that profoundly shaped his latter-day mixed-media work, which juxtaposes signature flourishes like hand-drawn personal sentiments and&nbsp;tight sign-written letters evoking vintage typography.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418626/xmslx7znnmucqw4einbx.jpg\"></figure><h3><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/autumn-after-hours-at-robie-house\">Autumn After Hours at Robie House</a></h3><p>Friday, October 4, 5 – 8&nbsp;pm</p><p>Autumn in Chicago, when a spectrum of russet colors transforms our surrounding parks and landscapes, is the best time to visit the Robie House.

The title borrows the advice a teacher gave Paczos at the&nbsp;School of the Art Institute of Chicago: look out the window, \"there's lots of good stuff out there.\" He&nbsp;took it, and has painted Chicago from direct observation for three decades since. Acuna works the&nbsp;same way, returning to his Wisconsin sites across multiple plein air sessions and staging handmade&nbsp;props to paint in natural light.
