This weeks picks, all happening on Saturday. :
Aspen Mays @ Museum of Contemporary Art
Aspen Mays gets her UBS 12×12 at the MCA this month and will be showing two bodies of prettied cataloging artwork: in the first, she documents every leaf on a tree outside her studio; in the second, every book on Albert Einstein available through the Illinois Collegiate Inter-Library Loan service (a system you may also know as the Best Thing). Show opens to the public this Saturday, February 6th @ Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E Chicago.

Austin Eddy, You dont have to go home right now, but eventually you won't be able to stay here anymore.
Greg Stimac and Scott Wolniak @ Andrew Rafacz
I remember seeing one of Greg Stimac‘s splattered, insect graveyard windshield photos at Industry of the Ordinary‘s 39 Verbs show @ Packer Schopf. I liked it then, and am glad to see Andrew Rafacz displaying a larger set of the work this month at his West Loop gallery. Also in the show: Scott Wolniak’s bleached paper works. Opening Saturday, February 6th from 4-7 PM @ Andrew Rafacz Gallery, 835 W. Washington.
