Constructed Connections – a new book of vivid and dynamic paintings created by Allan A. Teske. In this series of paintings, he invites the viewer to see from the view of not knowing. The paintings, with their adjacent words activate disconnects to our known knowing. In that space, new created connections are awakened allowing the possibility of knowing from a created seeing.

Closing Reception November 12, 7-10pm for National Juried Exhibit “Being Human” November 12, 7-10pm, jurie by Dan Addington, Addington Gallery Chicago.
Being Human shows us what it is to “be human” through the eyes of 65 artists from around the country. The art depicts imagery, stories, and situations that are drawn from the human experience. The exhibit inspires, provokes, and challenges the viewer to relate to the imagery in some way and consider what it means to be human.
Being Human has been one of the most successful exhibits in Union Street Gallery history. This exhibit was widely attended and well received by the community, artists, and art professionals. The positive feedback has been so overwhelming that we have added a closing reception for this exhibit.
Join us Saturday, November 12, from 7-10 pm to celebrate the closing of this outstanding exhibit with spoken word and poetry. All artists and poets are welcome to come and share their words at the open mic.
This event is free and open to everyone. Open mic starts at 7:30 pm

Lion VS Gorilla is a Chicago-based gallery concept with a mission of encouraging collaboration, fostering community, and challenging barriers between artists and viewers. We believe that art should be rowdy, that people should fight for it, and that viewing should never be passive.
For our third show, we are presenting what may be one of the only all-neon group shows in Chicago. Central to /// is the way that light (or lack of light) can create, inform, and shape environment. This will be done through the neon art, an interactive light installation, and the audience members themselves (YOU.) There will be three DJ’s, a set by Space Cabin, drinks, and some surprises. Part of the proceeds will go to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Light Lab and its mission to nurture new work in this underutilized material. SAIC’s Light Lab is one of only two such neon studios in a U.S. academic institution. Opportunities to create and view neon art are limited, highlighting the importance of showing this work. Come show your support and come prepared to dance your little heart out.
Oh, and also, there will be a bouncy castle.
FEATURED ARTISTS:
John Bannon, Keith Lemley, JiMaoC4, Hochul Shin, and Dave Sharma
We hope to see you there.
XOXO,
