If you’re near the windy city, be sure to dash over to Western Exhibitions to see the much-acclaimed “The Power of Selection, part 1” (curated by Fecal Face’s Ryan Travis Christian) and “Suitable Video: Works from the Suitable Exhibitions Archive” (curated by Scott Wolniak).

The simultaneous group exhibitions feature work by Sterling Ruby, Sarah Conaway, Alika Cooper, Ben Stone, Eric Yahnker and MMG’s Allison Schulnik, among others. On view through February 6th, the shows have received positive review from Time Out Chicago, ArtSlant, and the Chicago Reader, among numerous blog posts and Tweets.

For more information, visit WE’s exhibition page, or simply drop into the gallery Wednesday-Saturday (11am – 6pm), located at:

Thanks to everyone who came out last Saturday for Allison Schulnik’s long-awaited sophomore solo show, “Home for Hobo.” The line of cars streaming into the parking lot had us going until 8:30pm, and the support was certainly appreciated by Allison. Check out some of the photos from the evening below, and be sure to visit our gallery Fan Page on Facebook for the full album. Tag yourselves while you’re at it!

The Torrance Art Museum has a banner year of programming scheduled for 2010. Kicking things off with “The Reflected Gaze,” which is on view January 16 – February 20, TAM will be featuring a few of MMG’s own, including: Julie Heffernan, Jennifer Nehrbass, Gavin Nolan and Cindy Wright. Their self portraits will be shown in conjunction with those from the likes of Chuck Close, Damien Hirst and KAWS, along several others.

The opening reception will be January 16, 6-9pm – for more information visit TAM’s website.

Mark Moore Gallery is kicking off the new year with a long-awaited sophomore solo show from LA-native, Allison Schulnik.

Since Schulnik’s uber-impastoed paintings last graced our walls in 2007, she’s been included in over twenty international group shows and four solo exhibitions. Aside from being the subject of many publications and the artistic director of indie-music-sensation Grizzly Bear’s last music video, she’s found some time to create “Home for Hobo” – which consists of twelve new paintings, among a few other goodies.

Schulnik will be in attendance for her opening tomorrow evening, January 9th, from 5-7pm. We suggest you come see (and smell) these luscious works for yourself….or be horribly depressed that you missed it.
