ONTARIO, CHIC AGO, IL 60611 WWW.ARTSCLUBCHIC AGO.ORG EXPOCHGO | 14 Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek. Known for his signature furniture designs using recycled wood, Hein Eek has created limited edition Ruinart Champagne boxes and two larger wooden modules that will be on display in the VIP | Northern Trust Collector’s Lounge during the fair, where Ruinart is the official champagne. Eek’s unique, handmade creations pay homage to the fact that in the late 18th century, Ruinart was the first Champagne house to ship in sturdy wooden boxes, as opposed to baskets. The individually crafted boxes are perfectly suited to the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs bottle shape, and made of reclaimed wood in shades of pale grey, white and cream that complement the Champagne’s rich hues.

Recreating their lodge library, originally displayed at their summer residency in Southwest, Wisconsin, ACRE brings a site to EXPO that operates on two registers, at once a reminder of ACRE’s past activities, and a space to elaborate on future conversations. Their exhibition – located in the lobby outside of Festival Hall – is made from salvaged timbers collected from razed Chicago buildings, an environment that alters the site of the fair in order to provide an intimate space where viewers can interact with the work of past ACRE residents. In conjunction with Bad at Sports, ACRE also introduces The EXPO Register, a daily newspaper created by ACRE resident and Bad at Sports contributor Dana Bassett. The vibrant, hand printed Register, a Daily designed by Chicago artist Clay Hickson of Tan & Loose Press, highlights events during the fair, including reviews of special exhibitions and reports on trends at the fair, bringing a timely currency to their exhibition, which is indicative of their program at large. articulates the breadth of Aperture’s program, and their continued support of making photography available to a wide collecting audience. ARTADIA Renewing their partnership with EXPO CHICAGO for the second year, Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue will present the Artadia/EXPO CHICAGO Award, an inaugural prize awarded to one Chicago-based artist during the fair. Chosen by a distinguished panel of judges led by Associate Curator of The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver Nora Burnett Abrams, the award will continue to foster and support the artist’s work, giving them access to Artadia’s unique programming and network. Additionally, Artadia will have a booth at EXPO CHICAGO featuring editions for purchase by artists Josef Strau, Phoebe Washburn, Frank Benson, Catherine Wagner, and Ian Tweedy. All proceeds will go to support Artadia’s programming. APERTURE FOUNDATION | 2013 Aperture Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing photography via Aperture magazine, traveling exhibitions, and educational programs. Presenting unique works in the form of artists’ editions, with photographs by Jason Evans and Eva Fiore-Kovacovsky. Aperture’s Special Exhibition also elaborates on their book-publishing program, with pieces such as Matthew Pillsbury’s haunting photograph of crowds strolling beneath a dinosaur skeleton at the Natural History Museum in London. In addition, more experimental and conceptual projects are on view, such as James Welling’s Fluid Dynamics, which depicts abstract washes of periwinkle and lavender created by photograms of water altered in Photoshop, and Andrea Galvani’s seemingly straightforward image of a tree, centered on a grassy plain in the Greek countryside, in fact complicated by the use of mirrors, creating reflections that converge on the edge of the camera’s lens. Also on view is work by Richard Mosse, who was most recently featured in the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Known for using discontinued aerial surveillance film to render landscapes of the Eastern Congo in unsettlingly psychedelic hues, Mosse’s work EXPOCHGO | 18 Frank Benson, “Petrified Wood,” 2013. Archival print with custom frame, 20 x 30 inches. Edition of 30, plus 2 APs. Photo courtesy of Artadia. ARTSPACE Artspace is a curated website for fine art, offering collectors and aspiring collectors the opportunity to buy art from the world’s leading cultural institutions, museums, galleries, and artists. An official partner of EXPO CHICAGO, Artspace is pleased to feature a selection of works benefiting non-profit and institutional partners, including the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the Brooklyn Museum, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, and The Drawing Center, to name a few. All proceeds from sales of these works, by artists such as Francisco Clemente, Sean Scully, Alex Katz, and Fred Tomaselli, will support exhibitions and programming at these esteemed institutions. Also on view is a selection of Artspace Editions, featuring limited edition fine art prints by emerging and established artists such as Sarah Morris, Clifford Ross, Shantell Martin, and Marcel Dzama. In addition to their booth, Artspace has also created an online preview of the fair, allowing collectors to explore the works currently on view from each exhibiting gallery. The exclusive online preview features extensive fair coverage, including an interview with William J. O’Brien, a Chicago-based artist who was also invited to create the inaugural EXPO CHICAGO commission, which will be sold exclusively on Artspace.com. BAD AT SPORTS Alex Chitty, “Untitled,” 2010. Courtesy of the artist and ACRE. Bad at Sports is a forum on multiple platforms, known for its weekly podcasts and daily blog, the site features artists, curators, and gallerists, among others to talk about the Chicago art community and the art world at large. In conjunction with ACRE, Bad at Sports will take part in The EXPO Register, which has something for everyone, including local guides for visitors, interviews, and reviews with insight into what’s what, who’s who, and enough gossip to keep everyone tuned into what’s #trending. Additionally, Bad at Sports will broadcast from their booth next to the /DIALOGUES stage on the main floor of the exposition. Hosts Duncan MacKenzie and Richard Holland will field interviews and commentary from artists, curators and dealers for both their podcast and blog on Saturday, September 21st. Bad at Sports’ booth will also display a series of screen-printed motivational posters by Chicago-based ACRE artists, including Jessica Taylor Caponigro, Alex Chitty, Ben Driggs, Paul Erschen, Aron Gent, Sofia Leiby, and Betsy Odom. Bringing the voice of Chicago news to the fair, the daily newspaper created by ACRE resident and Bad at Sports contributor Dana Bassett, and designed by Chicago artist Clay Hickson of Tan & Loose Press, will provide a touch of novel reportage to the fair. BALLOON Conceived as a platform that hosts multiple activities, Balloon focuses on work that crosses traditional boundaries to advance cultural dialogue. Displaying a solo exhibition of work by Argentinean conceptualist Osvaldo Romberg, Balloon’s exhibition examines new paintings based on his well known didactic color paintings of the 1970s and sculptural works. Taking place in tandem with Romberg’s installation, Translocations: Mies and Melnikov, in partnership with the National Historic Trust for Preservation and with support from the Graham Foundation, on view at Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, this exhibition bridges a dialog between the two bodies of work. Painter and architect, Romberg engages as equally with the strategies and mythologies of classical painting as with the analysis of the historic avant-gardes. Similarly, his architectural tastes, in the tradition of Eduardo Sacriste, refuse a notion of architecture except at its highest point of abstraction, as art. Attempting to solve ongoing issues surrounding the status of the subject and presence in painting, Romberg exemplifies an effort to follow Barthes to the degree zero, to experience, as Ygal Zalmona describes it, “the ‘I’ which paints while keeping silent (by not saying, but by being).” CHICAGO ARTISTS COALITION/ BOLT RESIDENCY Chicago Artists Coalition (CAC) is a 39-year old nonprofit dedicated to building a sustainable marketplace for entrepreneurial artists and creatives by producing innovative programs, exhibitions, and educational opportunities for practicing artists, patrons, and the public. CAC presents two booths this year at EXPO CHICAGO, through the BOLT Residency and HATCH Projects initiatives. BOLT Residency is a prestigious year-long studio residency that offers up to eleven artists dedicated studio space, a solo exhibition, and one-on-one studio visits with leading professionals. Selected by Dieter Roelstraete, curatorial advisor for the exhibition and Manilow Senior Curator at the MCA Chicago, BOLT will exhibit resident artist Joseph G. Cruz’s “Assembling the Lunar.” The installation utilizes multiple artworks, artifacts, and histories to mediate our understandings of the moon – asking viewers to imagine what the horizon line looked like the night Neil Armstrong took his famous first steps. CAC also presents a Special Exhibition in conjunction with HATCH Projects, a pioneering artist and curatorial residency that fosters shared experimentation and creativity for twenty-four emerging artists and four emerging curators. Curated by Teresa Silva, the exhibit features work by 2012-2013 HATCH projects artists Kasia Houlihan, Ryan Peter Miller, and Rebecca Parker, linking these artists’ interests in the body, intimacy, interpersonal interactions, humor, and playfulness. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people around the world. Standing with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, to uphold political freedom, and protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, Human Rights Watch brings offenders to justice. In partnership with Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Human Rights Watch will present artist Jenny Holzer’s “Inflammatory Essays”. Echoing the mission of their commitment to defending and protecting human rights, the “Inflammatory Essays” depicts Holzer’s goal to affront the public with critical ideas.

Taken from the speeches of powerful political figures including Leon Trotsky, Chairman Mao, and Vladimir Lenin, Holzer rearranges their words into her own THE CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM ST. LOUIS provocative and urgent speech compositions. Best known for her large-scale The Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) St. Louis presents, supports, and celebrates the art of our time. Focused on a dynamic array of changing exhibitions, CAM provides a thought-provoking program that reflects and contributes to the global cultural landscape. CAM returns to EXPO CHICAGO for a second year presenting “Feedback 2,” a collaborative installation by Brett Williams and Kevin Harris. Using wind-blown microphones hanging from the ceiling, the exhibition is founded on the concept of ensured randomization. Using the microphones as their initial source, the installation is capable of producing an infinite number of auditory and visual outcomes that respond to viewers passing through the booth, projected on video monitors within the space. Intrinsically linked to the activity at EXPO, “Feedback 2” explores the use of autonomous systems in the context of live composition. As an interactive process, the exhibition relies on humans relinquishing all real-time decision making, and instead placing their trust in the nature of technology. Like any complex system design, the installation encompasses a network of actions and reactions, supporting one another to create a continuous system. Unlike industrial systems designed for specific outcomes, the intended design of “Feedback 2” is to guarantee and create unpredictable results. public billboards and illuminated displays, the colorful aesthetic of these works uses quotidian materials to address the many individuals they affect. As Holzer has said, “There are lots of I’s and You’s in the ‘Inflammatory Essays,’ but they’re not me. They’re many different voices on a host of unmentionable subjects.” The Rhona Hoffman Gallery booth at EXPO continues upon the Human Rights Watch’s initiative with Holzer’s “Amber Essay,” an LED installation that runs selected texts from the “Inflammatory Essays” in the electronic format, which the artist has used more recently. THE CONSERVATION CENTER | 2013 As one of the nation’s leading private art restoration and conservation laboratories, The Conservation Center has cared for fine art from some of the country’s most prestigious museums, galleries, insurance companies, corporations, and private collections. The Conservation Center presents an educational booth for their EXPO CHICAGO Special Exhibition, complete with conservation tools, microscopes, and examples of contemporary artworks before, during, and after treatment. The Center will also act as the conservation service provider for the fair, presenting various techniques of conservation and materials used, as well as innovations in the field addressing the unique conservation and framing needs of contemporary artwork. JEFF HIRSCH BOOKS 19 EXPOCHGO | Jeff Hirsch Books, founded in 1993 in Evanston, Illinois, specializes in 20th century photography, art and design monographs, as well as literary first editions. Known for its expansive inventory of exhibition catalogs and books signed by the author or artist, Jeff Hirsch Books will present a curated selection of books specific to this year’s fair. Rare photography books by Ansel Adams, Sol Lewitt, Edward Ruscha, Thomas Struth, and Andy Warhol will be available, as well as art books from John Baldessari, Georges Braque, Helen Frankenthaler, David Hockney, Alex Katz, Rene Magritte, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, and Cy Twombly, to name a few.

HYDE PARK ART CENTER The Hyde Park Art Center aims to stimulate and sustain the visual arts in Chicago. Through a unique combination of an experimental and contemporary art venue, with national draw and the accessibility of a neighborhood organization, it is the only visual arts organization in Chicago that specifically focuses on enhancing Chicago as a place for artists to work and live. Their Special Exhibition, programmed by critic, painter, and co-curator of the 2014 Whitney Biennial, Michelle Grabner, features selections from an upcoming exhibition, “A Study in Midwest Appropriation,” which will take place at The Hyde Park Art Center shortly after the fair. Presenting work by artists Conrad Bakker, John Riepenhoff, David Robbins, Oli Watt, and Pedro Velez, this group exhibition surveys the defining trait of appropriation in contemporary art from the heartland. Drawing on the idea that artwork by Midwestern artists deploy appropriation to convey self-deprecating and comical qualities, artists from Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis present a range of image and contentborrowing strategies, from the critical to the open-ended, the humorous imitation to the urgent copy. Positing that contemporary appropriation strategies are fluid in gesture, Grabner embraces a very different ‘creative’ content than the critical acts of appropriation that Marcel Duchamp pioneered nearly one hundred years ago. INDEPENDENT CURATORS INTERNATIONAL Independent Curators International (ICI) is a non-profit that produces exhibitions, events, publications, and training opportunities for audiences around the world. This year at EXPO, ICI will showcase two new 2013 editions by Marina Abramovic and Stephen J. Kaltenbach. Both are inspired by ICI’s latest iteration of an ongoing exhibition by Hans Ulrich Obrist, do it, of which they mark the 20th anniversary. Conceived in Paris in 1993, following a conversation between Obrist, Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier, the three posed the question, “what would happen if there was an exhibition that wouldn’t ever stop?” do it has since been featured in at least 50 different locations worldwide, and has included the participation of nearly 400 artists. Marina Abramovic’s do it instruction, Spirit Cooking, consists of the original 1997 do It catalogue, as well as a custom created apron and a placard which reads: Please dress yourself in the apron, open the book, and begin to realize the artist’s instruction of your choice. Stephen J. Kaltenbach’s series of sealed Time Capsules containing unknown content in an engraved steel vessel reading “OPEN BEFORE THE DEACCESSION,” employs the owner to reveal the secret contained inside if and when they decide to part with the work. THE INTERNATIONAL SCULPTURE CENTER The International Sculpture Center (ISC) is a membersupported, nonprofit organization founded to champion the creation and understanding of sculpture and its unique, vital contribution to society. ISC will be exhibiting works by prominent artists Carole Feuerman, Willie Cole, and Ursula von Rydingsvard, among other established artists. In addition, ISC will also display images of its members’ artwork during the fair, and promote books THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has been a leading institution in educating artists, designers, and scholars since 1866. Located in the heart of Chicago, SAIC has an educational philosophy built upon an interdisciplinary approach to art and design, giving students unparalleled opportunities to develop their creative and critical abilities, while working with renowned faculty who include many of the leading practitioners in their fields. Curated by Chicago-born, Los Angeles–based alumna Amanda Ross-Ho (BFA 1998) SAIC’s exhibition at EXPO CHICAGO will exemplify this multifaceted approach, featuring work from the diverse studio departments the school has to offer. Heads from each department will nominate their strongest Master of Fine Arts candidates to be considered for the exhibition. Ross-Ho’s selections will feature some of the most talented young artists producing work in Chicago today, spanning the Painting and Drawing, Sculpture, Photography, Performance, and Film, Video, New Media, and Animation departments, among others. from ISC Press, such as “Artists Reclaim the Commons,” “The New Earthwork,” “Conversations on Sculpture,” “A Sculpture Reader,” and “Landscapes for Art,” in addition to Sculpture magazine. Artwork for sale will support programming at ISC. LAUMIER SCULPTURE PARK | 2013 One of the oldest and largest dedicated sculpture parks in the country, Laumeier Sculpture Park is a living laboratory where artists and audiences explore the relationship between contemporary art and the natural environment. Presenting a mobile version of the “Laumeier Patch,” the exhibition allows viewers to interact with a mobile station dedicated to spreading the Park’s mission of socially engaging artistic practices with a project from the Northside Workshop, by artists Juan William Chavez and Kiersten Torres. Featuring artwork, performances, and Laumeier’s archives as it travels around the community and region, “The Patch” helps to promote the relevance of community sculptural practice.

THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTORAPHY The Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) at Columbia College Chicago returns to EXPO for the second Amanda Ross-Ho year to present a special video installation by LaToya Ruby Frazier as an extension of the Museum’s concurrent exhibition, “Backstory: LaToya Ruby Frazier, Ron Jude and Guillaume Simoneau”. For the last decade, Frazier has extensively documented the economic and social struggles of her family and community in her hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania. Both dynamic and provocative, Frazier’s films often show her mother and herself collaborating as two generations of women, whose familial history trace the decline of industrial American cities. Having witnessed the close of many steel mills, and the subsequent disappearance of the city’s prosperity, Frazier’s mother saw the exodus of nearly all the city’s white residents. Frazier herself watched as members of her community succumbed to drug addiction, poverty, and terminal illness caused by massive industrial pollution. Using the conventions of social documentary and conceptual art to probe and upend traditional narratives of urban growth and the triumph of industry, Frazier draws on both familial VISUAL ARTS AT UCHICAGO Arts Incubator in Washington Park Arts & Public Life Booth School of Business Art Collection Cochrane-Woods Art Center Department of Art History Department of Visual Arts Logan Center Exhibitions Midway Studios Open Practice Committee Oriental Institute Museum Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts Richard and Mary L.

Blurring the boundaries between the personal and the collective, Frazier uses her own family’s history to reveal both complex intergenerational struggles and social inequality. THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL Founded in 1970, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is an international environmental advocacy organization that aims to protect the planet’s natural resources, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all living things. Continuing their partnership with EXPO CHICAGO, NRDC returns to the fair to present the work of Seattle-based artist Vaughn Bell. Reflecting NRDC’s belief in the power of visual art to ignite deep conversations surrounding the protection of the planet’s environmental health, Bell’s three-piece installation creates interactive projects and immersive environments that relate to conservation and ownership. Bell’s “Metropolis” will be rigged from the ceiling of Navy Pier. Allowing viewers to place their heads within the sculpture, the result is a larger than life perspective of nature within urban life. Similarly, “A Pack of Forests,” explores the idea of environmental portability, human connections, and stewardship. These mobile sculptures will be “walked” throughout the fair, underscoring the care and attention one must give to the environment. Bell will also create a limited edition of “Pocket Biospheres,” small pieces of the environment that are available for “adoption” during the course of the fair. Each adoption is documented and displayed at the NRDC booth throughout the exposition. mittee, and Logan Center Exhibitions—as well as the new Arts and Public Life initiative, and the Departments of Visual Arts and Art History. The Headquarters signals a spirit of collaboration, which is integral to the evolution of each individual initiative, as well as the role of the arts at the University, and to the shape of Chicago’s greater contemporary art landscape. For this presentation at EXPO, the University of Chicago Headquarters foregrounds the work of three artists: New York and Houston based Mary Ellen Carroll, whose project “Open Outcry” was originally presented as part of “Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art,” at the Smart Museum of Art, in 2012, Chicago-based Shane Ward, and David Giordano, both of whom graduated from the University of Chicago, MFA 2012. Their works reflect the common ideals driving the HQ partners’ collective efforts. Complete with seating, the booth will encourage viewers to read through Univer- Committed to collecting challenging and inventive young artists’ work for the past fifteen years, The West Collection presents a selection of Taipei born, New York-based artist Longbin Chen’s “Composers.” Crafted out of the printed matter that surrounds him at the time, including telephone books, magazines, and novels, Chen sculpts the faces of famous composers into the unbound pages, leaving the spines of the books exposed behind the busts. The results resemble marble or stonework, though the sculptures are soft. In addition to the busts, each pedestal contains a sound piece of the composer, which plays as viewers approach the work. WHITECHAPEL GALLERY Playing a central role in London’s cultural landscape and a touchstone for contemporary art internationally, Whitechapel Gallery has produced high quality limited edition artworks since 2000 to accompany each exhibition through the generous donations of artists. As part of their fundraising initiative, and in collaboration with some of the world’s leading contemporary artists, Whitechapel’s Special Exhibition brings the editions of famed artists, including Theaster Gates, Pedro Reyes, Chantel Joffe, Candida Höfer, Tomma Abts, Rachel Harrison, Zarina Bhimji, Raymond Pettibon, and John Baldessari. Limited editions provide a rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire works by the very best contemporary artists for collectors. | 2013 RENAISSANCE SOCIETY Joining EXPO for a second year, the Renaissance Society, a non-collecting museum of contemporary art, presents a limited edition photo portfolio featuring work by twelve artists who have produced solo exhibitions at the museum. Including artists Darren Almond, Lothar Baumgarten, Jean-Marc Bustamante, Willie Doherty, Stan Douglas, Fischli/Weiss, Rodney Graham, Arturo Herrera, Zoe Leonard, Laura Letinsky, Thomas Struth, and Jeff Wall, the unique prints reflect the artist’s practice around the time he or she worked with the Society. The aesthetic breadth and diversity of the photographs included make this portfolio a striking survey of the medium’s recent history, and represent the Society’s consistent address of the form.

New City Communications, Inc. 47 West Polk Street Suite 100-223 Chicago, IL 60605 For inquiries: [email protected] 312-243-8786 newcitynetwork.com We tend to buy art based on emotion, and oftentimes we seek support from family, friends or other advisors to reinforce our preferences. Sometimes they also caution us against making impulse purchases we may later regret. They help us stay focused on our long-term goals while keeping in-tune with what brings us joy and makes us feel fulfilled. The enjoyment I take in my own art collection has been enhanced by the relationships I have cultivated with the individual artists. Hearing their stories and their inspiration has shaped my personal collection in ways I would have never envisioned. In this same way, relationships with financial advisors are not always about the bottom line of a statement balance, but the personal connection we share. These relationships can be powerful, and the best ones enrich our lives and help us leave a lasting legacy for our families and the philanthropic causes that hold deep meaning to us. So what better way to introduce lovers of contemporary art to Northern Trust than through the commonalities we share. Our rich history of supporting the arts takes many forms, and our sponsorship of EXPO Chicago has already introduced emerging artists to the community and our clients. I look forward to meeting new artists at this year’s event whose stories will no doubt continue to deepen my appreciation of contemporary art. Who knows, I may also find that magical next piece for my collection, too. Steve “Mac” MacLellan | President - Wealth Management | Central Region | 2013 SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 Who can explain that mysterious process that escalates casual appreciation into investment and ownership? The only answer is that it is a purely personal choice. Northern Trust’s sponsorship of EXPO CHICAGO has given me the opportunity to think about my own relationship with contemporary art and how it relates to the business we are in. The correlation is much stronger than you might think. 29 EXPOCHGO | 5:00pm – 8:00pm Bert Green Fine Art Gallery opening reception for the artist Stephen Kaltenbach.
