This week’s picks. As always, check out some more here and here.

Sarah Pickering @ Museum of Contemporary Photography

I’m jumping on this one out of first contact interest, but London photographer Sarah Pickering‘s Incident Control does look really, really cool. 36 photographs with section titles of Explosions, Fire Scene, Incident, and Public Order, and you can find the best pictures here. Check out the opening tonight, Thursday, April 8th from 5-7PM @ the Museum of Contemporary Photography, 600 S Michigan Ave.

Charles Mahaffee @ PEREGRINE PROGRAM

Words and words make up god god god, a show from multimedia creepalist Charles Mahaffee. One night show this Friday, April 9th from 6-8:30 PM @ PEREGRINEPROGRAM, 500 W Cermak Rd, 727. Use the red door and try to find the elevator.

Sol Lewitt @ Rhona Hoffman

Sol Lewitt is an artist worthy of a wikipedia page and you can see his work this Friday, April 9th @ Rhona Hoffman Gallery, 118 N Peoria St. I’m guessing the opening is at 6-9 or something.

Exhibition 6.04102010 @ MVSEVM

In the event that you haven’t seen enough work this month from School of the Art Institute students and graduates, check out MVSEVM’s sixth exhibition with work by Andrew Holmquist, Sue Howard, Joel Kuennen, Chris Lin, Liz Nielsen and Carolina Wheat, Ryan Richey, Nathanael Stephens and Michael Vallera. Opens Saturday, April 11th from 7-10PM @ MVSEVM, 1626 N California Ave, #2.

Alberto Aguilar and Alexander Cohen @ SecondBedroom

I first listened to the collaboration between Alberto Aguilar and his student Alexander Cohen in the former’s basement as part of his massive 2009 dinner party undertaking. Back then, he was giving his daughter’s Garageband mixes to Cohen for freestyle beats. Things have progressed. Check out their collaborations this Saturday, April 10 from 7-11PM @ secondBEDROOM, 3216 S Morgan.

Sculptures from sculptor Nathaniel Robinson and paintings from painter Erik Neff make up two split shows at Devening. Check it out Sunday, April 11th from 4-7 PM @ devening projects + editions, 3039 W Carroll.
