According to Chicago DCASE commissioner and culture czar Mark Kelly, speaking Wednesday at Navy Pier, our fair city is “the epicenter of art for the country and the world.” Or at least it is this week, while Expo Chicago 2017 is displaying work by 3,500 artists from 25 countries and 58 cities.
The Chicago Artists Coalition booth features Yvette Mayorga’s High Maintenance (Art After Nov. 8, 2016), an eye-popping, immersive, rococo, satirical, and Candy Land-pink critique of immigration law, sexism, racism, the American Dream, and life in general in the Trump era.
