Around the Coyote, one of Chicago’s most diverse non-profit emerging arts organizations, is pleased to announce Subtle Combat, a dual exhibition featuring work by collaborative artists Burtonwood and Holmes, and self-taught artist Robert Burnier. This exhibition seeks to illustrate ways in which artists today are choosing to confront the subtleties and complexities of living in a time of war. Favoring a holistic look at our decision to go to war — rather than an oversimplification of the social, political and economic times used in so much protest art — these artists have found ways to question our present course while still working with an aesthetic beauty. Burtonwood and Holmes’ site-specific installation of large and small scale military tanks along with various paintings will be accompanied by Burnier’s large and small scale grid paintings.
ALSO this week is the last chance to catch “The Law Of Dimisnishing Returns, part 1” currently on view at GARDENfresh, 119 N. Peoria #3D. If you’re interested in any of our works on paper, canvas or whatever the good folks at GF can hook you up for sure. “We’ll Meet Again” closes Sat 7th April. Gallery hours are noon to 6pm.
