Glimpses

@ LVL3 Gallery

1542 N Milwaukee Ave, #3, Chicago, IL 60622

Opening Saturday, June 26th, from 1PM - 6PM

On view through Sunday, August 8th

LVL3 is proud to present Glimpses — a three-person exhibition featuring work by Minami Kobayashi (London), Sacha Ingber (New York), and Justin Nalley (Chicago).

Kobayashi’s splayed-out paintings depict transient scenes of human and animal figures amidst implicative narratives. When engaging with her translucent works, the viewer takes on the perspective of a vulnerable voyeur, momentarily invited into shifting landscapes of routine. Ingber’s objects take on a fantasy life of their own. Her delicate sculptures and drawings are memorials, evocative abstractions that reify personal mythologies. In contrast to her processual sculptural works, her drawings reflect the rhythm of a person’s daily psyche.

Nalley pokes fun at the collective fantasies artists and Americans alike prescribe to, to navigate current times. All three artists address potential sites of memory, as Kobayashi asks the viewer to revel in the ephemeral, Ingber parses out the potential permanence of everyday iconographies, and Nalley improvises with collections of doodles and receipts. Exuding sentimental humor, Nalley’s poetry cares for the viewer, holding them in the emotive space of art-making, tying the psychological spaces Kobayashi & Ingber work from to manifest their affective compositions. Each artist in Glimpses sneaks a glance, asking the viewer to unpack their associative experiences with the works and creative process.
