- Josiah McElheny: Cosmology, Design, and Landscape, Part II
- "Endlessly Repeating Twentieth Century Modernism (2007) (pictured above) presents the viewer with a seemingly infinite repetition of reflections of modernist design, captured inside an eight-foot metallic cube. This is the largest and most complex work in McElheny's series of sculptures that attempt to depict the capitalist notion that all objects are eternally repeatable, that everything can be remanufactured endlessly without regard to era, geography, or culture. "
- Donald Young Gallery, 933 W. Washington Blvd.
- Through Aug. 17

- Emmett Kerrigan: Spin Off
- "Kerrigan's interest throughout his career has been to charge iconic objects embedded in our consciousness from childhood, youth and bygone eras with excitement, movement and meaning. Dynamic shapes that transcend the ordinary and are mechanisms of motion - tricycles, tractors, propellers and fans - have all figured prominently in past work."
- Linda Warren Gallery, 1052 W. Fulton Market
- Through Aug. 18
