Alberto Aguilar’s Translational Rhythms at the Chicago Cultural Center

Alberto Aguilar's exhibition "I just really want to tell you this one thing" at the Chicago Cultural Center presents a sprawling, experimental installation that reinterprets his own work across decades. The show features eleven other artists who have each taken one of Aguilar's earlier paintings and created new versions, displayed alongside the originals. Curated by Elise Butterfield, the exhibition explores themes of translation, transformation, and artistic dialogue, with works spanning from 1997-2002 and 2020-2026.
