![Sandra Binion: the beauty of something ripped]()
the beauty of something ripped is a photographic series that celebrates the unintentional beauty arising from the scars of time-worn fabrics found in museums, churches, palazzos and châteaux. Bearing the traces of those who've touched, sat on, or kneeled on them—perhaps without a second thought or perhaps with profound fervor—they map lifetimes and mysteries.

![Corey Postiglione: Population 5 - opening reception]()
Population 5 is a large wall painting by Corey Postiglione, one of Chicago’s most noted abstract painters. As with other large-scale paintings by Postiglione, this work is a bifurcated composition, juxtaposing two equal-sized squares with interwoven curvilinear shapes contrasting black and white with opposing flat and gloss surfaces. The abstraction is informed by Postiglione’s concern with world population growth and it implications of conflict, scarcity, and interdependence.
![AUDIBLE GALLERY: Marc Dilet: 'FORCE']()
French architect Marc Dilet presents an exhibition of recent drawings at ESS’s Audible Gallery. Dilet presents his work in a diagrammatic room constructed inside the gallery, a light-handed architectural gesture recalling the frameworks of intimate Japanese buildings.
![AUDIBLE GALLERY: Kathie Shaw: 'Post-Apocalyptic Trash Paintings']()
In this series of paintings, Kathie Shaw is seeking to produce metaphorical images which interpret in an iconic way the potential future resulting from man’s unchecked use of power, power literally both to transform and to destroy. Within our current historic context, the way power is used could potentially put the very fate of the planet into question.

![AUDIBLE GALLERY: Kate Joyce: 'Arches, Loops & Whorls']()
Kate Joyce's Arches, Loops & Whorls includes three bodies of work made between 2007 to 2012: a series of diptychs about math and biology that combine corrupted digital image files with fingerprints from the artist's hands; silkscreen prints made from a template created by tracing the rectilinear lines in formal architectural photographs; color photographs from a two year project about the rigor and discovery of a daily practice. Each work informs the other about geometry, intuition, repetition and the underlying physical and emotional structures affecting the surfaces of things.
