Dan Gunn & Michelle Grabner @ moniquemeloche

This week moniquemeloche gallery is kicking off its four-part Winter Experiment interview series this weekend with a conversation between artist Dan Gunn and artist etc Michelle Grabner. I’m a big fan of both artists, so I’m looking forward to at least hearing the tapes.  Stop by this Saturday, January 22nd at 1pm @ moniquemeloche, 2154 W Division St.

A HEALTHY SKEPTICISM @ Swimming Pool Project Space

Artists Joshua AbelowCarl Baratta and Josh Reames come together for this show examining skepticism of working practices, and skepticism as a foundation for art-making. The opening is this Saturday, January 22nd from 6-9PM @ Swimming Pool Project Space, 2858 W Montrose Ave.

Chris Bradley @ Shame Campbell Gallery

I’ve ran into Chris Bradley‘s honestly awesome art-work a few times, the last being a show-stealing kinetic abstract sculpture of a man pissing into a cooler, seen at the Exhibition Agency’s Uncrumpling This Much Crumpled Thing. This saturday Bradley will be doing a solo at Oak Park gallery Shane Campbell and I’m going to guess he’ll keep it up. See it on Saturday, January 22nd from 6-8PM @ Shane Campbell Gallery, 125 N Harvey Ave, Oak Park, IL.
