David Weinberg Photography and the Center on Halsted ( the Center ) have teamed to showcase the work of four acclaimed trans artists with "transfluent," a three month-long exhibit aimed at highlighting and supporting trans representation and advocacy with its "Pearly Foam" and "Trisha Shattuck: Machinations of a Monk" exhibits.
"Pearly Foam," according to David Weinberg Photography's site and the show's press release, "explores themes of identity, memory and fantasy while gazing into shifting waters from the shoreline of desire. The exhibition features photographs, sculpture and installation work that investigates gender politics and queer culture from the spectrum of political positions by artists Sofia Moreno, Wolfie E. Rawk and Oli Rodriguez."
"Trisha Shattuck: Machinations of a Monk" is, according to the show's press release, "a selection of cerebral oil paintings from the subject of the award-winning documentary film, 'From This Day Forward' made in dialogue with the canvas from Shattuck's quiet room."
"Pearly Foam" runs through Jan. 9 at David Weinberg Photography, 300 W. Superior St., and "Trisha Shattuck: Machinations of a Monk" runs through Jan. 5 at the Center.
