“Out My Window” curated exhibition on view June 12 - July 12, 2021

“Interior II” and “Concert Played by One” are included in Art Gallery 118’s exhibition titled, “Out My Window” which is on view June 12 - July 12, 2021. View “Out My Window” Thank you!

About the Show:

This is a curated show themed around works of art that explore modern architecture and its social and cultural implications. Artworks that examine the window as an architectural and social connection between interior and exterior spaces and worlds, that explore and challenge the idea of the gaze looking out onto the world, or looking back, observing the viewer. Artworks that shape our own perception of what and how we see, windows to human souls, that invite you to look at the personal world of an artist, or windows to the outside world, that invite you to discover the unseen and step into the unknown towards unpredictable encounters and experiences.

Exhibit Open: Disrupted Realism features “Uncomfortable Cafe” through May

Exhibit Open: April 9- May 15, 2021

Buckham Gallery is pleased to announce our next exhibition, Disrupted Realism, a national juried exhibition. Disrupted Realism, a national juried exhibition established to explore contemporary painting that challenges the traditional concepts of realism. “It is a subjective approach to painting that favors perception over seeing and embraces subjectivity,” John Seed, author of Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World.

This incarnation of Disrupted Realism features the work of Chicago artist, Anne Harris and 34 works selected by John Seed for this national juried exhibition. Prize winners will be announced April 9 at 6pm, via social media. Exhibition Catalog will be available mid-April.

"The Buckham Fine Arts Project is committed to facilitating opportunities to engage with challenging contemporary art and to experience new ways of looking and thinking. "Realism" provides an extraordinary gateway as it satisfies the desire to recognize while simultaneously presenting opportunities to experience something completely other than the expected. This contemporary take on realism can be more than the faithful representation of an object in media, it can also refer to a faithful representation of an experience or moment in time," remarks Executive Director Michele Leclaire.
