Curated by Olga Stefan, former Executive Director of the Chicago Artists' Coalition, this group exhibition focuses on the fleeting nature of life and art. For a Limited Time Only features work created to deliberately decay, disintegrate, or otherwise disappear during its relatively short run. Artists include Las Vegas-based Wendy Kveck, whose mixed-media paintings and other projects focus on temporality and waste in their visceral, emotionally charged portrayals of body-image afflictions; and Chicago's Shawn Stucky, whose most recent prints deconstruct images, impressions, memories, and dreams with an edgy, mysterious mix of abstraction, richly saturated colors, and evocative symbolism.
