Ian McLaughlin is a Chicago-based hybrid artist whose painting and sound work explore how color, line and shape entice and stimulate the imagination. The show, Synesthesia for the Times, is an affair of color and sound coming together, a call and response between the two. It plays with the idea that color and sound can enrich and bring vibrancy and wakefulness to our world. Using rhythms, layers and patterns, in both sounds and visuals, the show aims to provoke and weave the senses; to conjure a geographic landscape in the imagination of places and the spaces that can lullaby or ...

For her installation at LivingRoom Gallery, Alysia Kaplan draws upon cultural signifiers of domestic space to investigate the personal experiences embedded in, and the historical antecedents imposed upon, a dwelling.

In her first solo exhibition with LivingRoom Gallery, Edelweiss Cardenas shows new paintings and drawings that feature her “wanderers." These free wheeling amoeboid forms putter, whiz, float, fall and plod past the viewers eyes in crisp, dark, intuitive line drawings and candy colored, patterned paintings. As they endlessly explore their surroundings, some displaced and others right at home, Cardenas’ figurative articulations emit a quixotic emotive power spanning everything from forlorn to fanciful. Curated by Thea Liberty Nichols in conjunction with Home Room.

Ever Epic is the result of Tanya Gill’s experiences in northern India where the relationships between ancient structures and the current patterns of daily life ...
