Fortune and Folly in 1720
co-curated by Nina Dubin, Circle Associate Professor
September 23–February 19, 2023
New York Public Library
Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
476 5th Ave,
New York, NY 10018
Circle Associate Professor Nina Dubin's co-curated exhibition Fortune and Folly in 1720 opened at the New York Public Library last month!
"Offering tragicomic depictions of malevolent traders, hoodwinked investors, and villainous seductresses, the prints hold up a mirror to our own age, with its ever more complex monetary instruments and periodic meltdowns. They also reflect on the intersections between art and finance, reminding us that both are products of human imaginings." Learn more »

For Each Other
September 9–December 17, 2022
UIC Gallery 400
Art & Exhibition Hall
400 S. Peoria St.
Chicago, IL 60607
For Each Other highlights the ways a group of Chicago-based artists and collectives consider care in their work and in the contexts they create for their work. In the included artworks and projects, care is an active, participatory process.
UIC alumni Jon Aldrich (BFA '19), Edith Mendez (BFAAE '20), Jessa Mendiola (BFA '19), Nydia Mendiola (BFA '19), Angelica Mendoza (BFAAE '21), and Eric Perez (BFA '19), as the collective Real Fake Artists, Inc., have recreated for the exhibition their fall 2019 course final project, a proposal—in cardboard sculpture form—for a student lounge in Art & Exhibition Hall.
Latham Zearfoss (MFA '11) created a new meditative video installation for the exhibition. Liz McCarthy (MFA '17) in a partnership with the ceramic studio she founded, GnarWare Workshop, and artist Lan Tuazon, is running the Third Empty Bowls Fundraiser in the exhibition. Hand-thrown ceramic bowls are for sale in the show; all sales provide direct support to the Pilsen Food Pantry, Nita’s Love Train, and McKinley Park Mutual Aid.
Other artists and collectives include Kennedy Healy and Marley Molkentin, Public Media Institute (of which alumnus Nick Wylie, MFA '10), The Love Fridge Chicago (of which Eric Von Haynes, adjunct faculty in the School of Design is a part), and the UIC Disability Cultural Center Community Care Cohort.
