This exhibition is a response to the stress of a move from Chicago to Green Bay to help care for her ailing in-laws, stress from her own family, stress from making a living in upper Wisconsin, stress from the ongoing pandemic and a myriad of political and social crises. The work combines both the tradition of crazy quilts and pareidolia, the experience of ascribing meaning to visual phenomena (like seeing figures in the clouds). For Campbell, this method of working intuitively and formally, as opposed to starting with a clear idea and executing it, is “the only sustainable way for me to work in this current moment through a constant brain fog.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418980/hmpjhbgofmnbpbtm8whr.jpg\"></figure><p class=\"lead\"><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/dan-attoe\">Dan Attoe: Pandemic Paintings</a></p><p>Opening: Saturday, November 6, 11&nbsp;am – 6&nbsp;pm</p><p><strong>Western Exhibitions</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Throughout his 20+ years of painting, Attoe has challenged himself to offer as much detail as possible: “I’ve always enjoyed finding the limits of my abilities and comprehension. For me, there’s something in hitting the end of the jar, the point where earnest representation meets awkwardness, where processing of reality meets metaphor, that is entertaining and telling about an artist’s psychological makeup.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721418980/lpyvzdrurwjikgctmj3p.jpg\"></figure><p class=\"lead\"><a href=\"https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/sung-jang-given\">Sung Jang: Given</a></p><p>Opening: Saturday, November 6, 11&nbsp;am – 6&nbsp;pm</p><p><strong>Volume Gallery</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In his second solo exhibition at Volume Gallery, Chicago based designer Sung Jang presents symbiotic combinations of found stones buttressed by lattice bases. The deliberate combinations are analogous to humanity’s relationship with nature—rock and grid representing nature meeting human reasoning.

The Spaniards called the agave plant “the tree of wonders”. Agave evolved in southern Mexico over six million years ago and Oaxaca is its center of diversity. Mezcal’s popularity exploded in recent years, transforming it from a local spirit to one that is known internationally. Patrons in New York, Los Angeles and everywhere in the world were now saying “with mezcal please”, and mezcal fever exploded, causing its demand to grow exponentially. As a result, people in Oaxaca began to produce more and more of it and a thriving international market was born. Every community and hill in the state was soon surrounded with agaves that were destined for mezcal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p></body></html>","published_at":"2021-11-02
