Artist Marina Xenofontos will represent Cyprus at the 61st Venice Biennale in 2026. Her exhibition, centered on an animatronic sparrow titled 'Passer' and incorporating folk songs recorded by her grandmother and great-aunts, explores themes of memory, endurance, and the quiet persistence of culture.
The Bridge at 909 art exhibit recently held a reception in the lobby of Evanston’s City Hall, featuring a dialogue between the works of established local artist Chris Froeter and emerging Chicago artist Gabi Bozeman. Curated by Juelle Daley, the exhibition juxtaposes Froeter’s large-scale, monochromatic portraits of activists from his “Voices” series with Bozeman’s vibrant, surrealist canvases focused on young Black women. The pilot program aims to transform public municipal spaces into accessible galleries that engage passersby in their daily routines.
