We are pleased to inform you of an upcoming group exhibition, Insignia, featuring recent work by Chicago-based artists, Jan Pieter Fokkens, Jeffery Cote de Luna and Mike Nudelman.

These artists share a reverence and optimism for the reproduced image. Appropriating popular and often recognizable imagery from news websites, scientific articles and art history textbooks, they re-charge and reconstruct seemingly ubiquitous images with paint and pen.

We hope that you’ll join us for the opening reception:

Saturday, September 15th, 5.30 – 9pm,

3012 S. Archer Fl.1, Chicago, IL, 60606. P. 773.575.8287 CTA: Ashland- Orange Line
