This week’s weekend picks for this weekend. I’m leaving a lot out, so check out the additional listings here and here.

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Daniel Albrigo / The Power of Selection, part 2 @ Western Exhibitions

Big titles mean big events and this month’s pairing (and pairing within a pairing) at Western Exhibitions seems poised to prove the point. Expect a conversation of work in the main space, with P-Orridge/Albrigo‘s Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is…A Love Story arranged as a double solo with Albrigo responding in paint to P-Orridge’s often surgical investigations into wealth, self, and malleability. In the second space, Ryan Travis Christian (source of our own Artists of the Week) curates Power of Selection, part 2 including artists Ben Jones, Denise Kupferschmidt, Keegan McHargue, and Dana Dart-McLean. Opens Friday, June 18th from 5-8PM @ Western Exhibitions, 119 N Peoria St, 2A.

ANGELS @ Kunz,Vis,Gonzalez.

From the roster, it looks like ANGELS is going to be a thorough look at  painting by way of representation, complete with chairsy sculpture/painting and a decent dose of trompe l’oeil. Artists include Christopher Cosnowski, Aukje Koks, , Lester Monzon and Craig Yu, but I’m most excited about seeing the smart pairing of Andrew Falkowski and Matthew Metzger. The show is only up this weekend, with the reception on Friday, June 18th from 6-10PM @ Kunz,Vis,Gonzalez., 2324 W Montana St.

Lloyd Durling @ GOLDEN

GOLDEN is showing new ballpoint drawings from Lloyd Durling this month, as well as opening up an exciting project/complementary/auxiliary space a few blocks away. The main space reception begins this Friday, June 18th from 7-10PM @ GOLDEN, 816 W Newport Ave, and the aux space (complete with a bevy of cool smaller works from Elijah Burgher, Evan Conley, The Franks, Alex Valentine, Kaylee Rae Wyant, Aspen Mays, and Mike Andrews) opens the same night, Friday, June 18th at 9PM @ Golden Gallery Auxiliary Space, 3319 N Broadway St.

Saturday is pretty much just a Robert Barnes closing at Corbett vs. Demsey and some juggalos documented at Eastern Expansion. Its a front loaded weekend. Did you ever notice you can type the word typewriter on just the top row of your keyboard?
