Opening Sunday, September 7th, from 2PM - 5PM
On view through Sunday, September 7th
Join us for the closing reception of “Finding Our Way (through a triple double)” featuring an artist talk by Dan S. Wang on the Syntax of History.
In his talk, Wang will trace themes of mobility, belonging, and transnational identity through a personal lens. Framed as a reintroduction to Chicago after years away, Wang will reflect on his lifelong cycles of movement and return, weaving them into the larger fabric of his family’s diasporic history.

He co-founded Chicago’s Mess Hall and has exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent solo projects in Los Angeles, Montreal, and at Dartmouth College, where he was the 2025 winter Artist-in-Residence.
