Featuring the work of Frances Lightbound and Cowboy.

Artists assemble; they put things together to make new worlds. Medium doesn’t matter. Paint, matter, or pixels. All are arranged, aligned, composed, and anointed. Some suggest stories, others suggest states. 

I stumbled upon Cowboy while riding my bike through Lincoln Park. 

I met Frances Lightbound on the dance floor.  Her chain link fence is both coming and going; unraveling yet organized. Fencing corrals. Grammar controls. The wall-bound work exists in a curiously extreme state of disassembly. It is a beguilingly beautiful thing that really shouldn’t be beautiful at all. 

Cowboy’s arrangement of found objects on asphalt are assembled from a dream logic, then blown to the wind. Or eaten. Or traded in for recycled pennies. These sidewalk assemblages are not meant to last. The photographs on display capture their profound, and supremely temporary, poetry.
