“Wood Worked” Opening Reception Video
Many artists in Chicago work with wood as a key part of their practice, yet there have been comparatively few exhibitions that have surveyed the medium. That changes with the Chicago Urban Art Society’s Wood Worked, which gathers together sculpture from artists working in wood. Steve Reber has work in this exhibition and at the Cultural Center; Michael Rea is included, having just finished with his exhibition at the Elmhurst Art Museum, as is Juan Angel Chavez, whose large, wooden speaker-like structure greeted visitors to Art Chicago this year. With these and other artists very actively exhibiting, it will be interesting to see their work in dialogue together.

Last-Minute Plans: Chicago Urban Art Society’s “The Daley Show” Closing Reception
When the Chicago Urban Art Society were in the process of curating opened their current exhibition “The Daley Show” in September, it was under the assumption that His Elective Majesty would run again, and the exhibit would be a look at the ruling dynasty that’s informed Chicago to its foundation for nearly half a century.

[CUAS-in-the-News] Assessing a Legacy by Abraham Ritchie
January 3, 2011
As noted in a recent ABC News report, there has been a Mayor Daley for 42 of the past 55 years. Whether it was Richard J. Daley (Mayor of Chicago, 1955-1976) or Richard M. Daley (Mayor of Chicago, 1989-present), Chicago has long been dominated by the Daley dynasty. So it took the city by surprise when last September the Mayor called a press conference to announce that he would not be seeking a seventh term. The announcement also came as a surprise to the curators from Johalla Projects and the Chicago Urban Art Society, the organizers of “The Daley Show,” who had been preparing the exhibition under the assumption that the Mayor would be running again.

Back in September, when the end of the Daley mayoral legacy was announced (to the shock of many), Chicago Urban Art Society already had a related group show in the works. Planned around the presumption that Daley would seek another term in 2011, local artist and sometimes curator Laurie Apple envisioned a politically themed show that, in some ways, piggybacked on the success of the “50 Aldermen, 50 Artists” exhibit she co-curated last spring.
