Art of the Week by Maïmouna Guerresi.

We're kicking off the first Art of the Week for 2021 with a piece by Maïmouna Guerresi. As we usher in a new year, Moisa: Sospensione Mosaica (Moses Suspended) reminds us that hybridity can exist in the most beautiful of forms. Moisa has features both human and divine, female and male. Her suspension is a transcendence of these binaries.

Stephanie Syjuco's Phantom Flag hangs in the Main Gallery as part of our current exhibition. Come see this beautiful, delicate work that the artist says is “a symbolic manifestation of a nation haunted by and unresolved in its own conflicts.”

#ChicagoFact: There are three white stripes on the flag, which represent the north, west and south sides of the city. The top blue stripe represents Lake Michigan and the north branch of the Chicago River. The bottom stripe represents the south branch of the river and the great canal. #Chicago

#21cThisWeBelieve prompts us to question the costs and consequences of allegiance. The exhibition is filled with symbols and objects that have some kind of power. Works like Abdullah Syed's Weaving Myth VI transforms a US banknote and Chinese Yuan into an artwork that resembles a miniature magic carpet and points to the interdependence of the two nations’ economies.

"When anyone looks at a portrait, whether it's a painting or a photograph, they project onto that picture. Now you add a gun into the picture, and a woman, and there's even more projection." @lindsaymccrum

Photographer Lindsay McCrum’s Chicks with Guns portraits capture a segment of the more than 15 million women who own firearms in the United States. Diverse in socioeconomic status and motivation, the women featured span the spectrum of leisure and professional use: many are avid hunters or competitive shooters, members of law enforcement, or simply seeking a means of self-defense. In the era of the Me Too movement and ever-present gun violence, gender and self-image converge with the subjects’ accessory of choice: guns. McCrum’s portraits of women, though complex, are free from glory or criticism: “The only thing I shoot is a camera,” says the artist. “It’s biography, not advocacy.”

A #Chicago sunset on a crisp Autumn evening is poetic. The way the city shifts gears as night approaches. The sunsets slant through the concrete canyons created by skyscrapers. Their glass faces reflect the oranges, purples and blues of the darkening sky as the windows mimic stars, illuminated from within.

Jeremy Dean’s work explores the intersections of history, politics, and mass media, deconstructing recognizable imagery and reassembling it to reveal hidden truths. Economics charts the disparity in wealth between the top 1% and the bottom 90% over a period of 100 years from 1915-2015. The graph, like the increasing disparity in wealth, rips apart a thread-bare American flag. The pattern of valleys and mountains that represent the divide between the rich and the poor resembles an EKG graph, reflecting the volatile lifeline of the American economy. The period of the greatest economic parity in the U.S. was in 1964, while the periods of the greatest disparity align with the 1929 Stock Market Crash and the present moment.
