This week’s picks on what to see this weekend. Once again and as always, there are more things going on that listed here, so check out broader listings here and here.
Ray Yoshida @ Sullivan Galleries
A good case could be made that Ray Yoshida was Chicago’s most important artist, having effected the practice of almost every artist who knew him. This retrospective catalogs that impact, exhibiting not only the work of the artist, but also the artists who influenced him, and a much larger sampling of artists were influenced by him. See the opening this Friday, November 12th from 6-8PM @ SAIC’s Sullivan Galleries, 33 S State St, 7.
Ray Yoshida, Comic Book Specimen - #2 - Right Profile

Artists Joseph Grigely, Eric Fleischauer, Jason Lazarus, and an anonymous fourth put together this show, featuring work and writing based on the contexts and relationships of art-making and viewing, such as Grigely’s exhibition ephemera or Lazarus’ comparisons of academic art criticism and far more interesting, timely, and in all respects superior amateur art criticism. Pippen to Jordan, this Friday, November 12th from 6-10PM @ Noble & Superior Projects, 1418 W Superior St, 2R.
