This week’s picks. Check out more here and here.

Terence Hannum @ PEREGRINEPROGRAM

Terence Hannum is a pretty metal dude, performing (along with André Foisy) in Chicago’s intensely metal experimental duo LOCRIAN and making comparatively heavy paintings in low-end monochrome. Check out some of his new work on display this month in Negative Altars, opening this Friday, July 16th from 6-8PM @  PEREGRINEPROGRAM, 500 W Cermak Rd, 727.

The Humboldt Moving Picture Show @ Richmond Manor

In a combination of indoor installations and outdoor screenings, Curators Stephanie Nadeau and Amira Hanafi bring together 25 videos from a local and international set of artists for the first annual Humboldt Moving Picture Show. The artist list looks really interesting. Check out the screening and show this Saturday, July 17th @ Richmond Manor, 1625 N Richmond St.

Quarterly Site #3 @ Swimming Pool Project Space

The Twelve Galleries Project is a traveling and experimental curatorial project organized by Jamilee Polson?, and this year each quarterly show invites three curators to put together a collaborative show under a (mostly arbitrary) title or theme. This third installment brings together Anthony Elms (Gallery400 codirector, writer, and on special occasion contributor to this website), Philip von Zweck (of VONZWECK fame), and Katherine Pill (former co-director of Concertina Gallery). The curatorial breakdown is as follows:

Anthony Elms brings Danielle Gustafson-Sundell, Shane Huffman, Erin Leland, Matthew Metzger, Sonny Venice, and Philip von Zweck. Katherine Pill brings Madeleine Bailey, Samantha Bittman and Matt Nichols. Philip von Zweck brings three curators, Christina Cosio (who brings Erik Peterson), Stevie Greco [who brings Jason Bryant, Todd Mattei and Caroline Picard), and David Roman (who brings Matt Irie and Dominick Talvacchio). Somehow this is all arranged like swimming pool lanes, but we’ll have to see for ourselves this Saturday, July 17th from 6-10PM @ Swimming Pool Project Space, 2858 W Montrose.

Todd Mattei, With the Prayer
