Jane Alexander: Infantry with beast | The Art Institute of Chicago

Nov 15, 2025–Jan 12, 2026 (UTC-6)

Chicago

Exhibitions

"Infantry and Beasts" is a composite installation originally exhibited as two separate works. "Infantry" (2008-2010) consists of 27 dog-headed humanoid figures, small yet formidable, forming a mottled gray formation that slowly marches along a military-red parade carpet with a calm yet menacing presence. (Infantry was first exhibited without a carpet, at an abandoned military base in South Africa.) The formation advances toward "Beasts" (2003), which is even smaller, as indicated by its lowercase initials. Crouching, the heads of all the figures in "Infantry" stare blankly upward and to the right, as if the marching figures await orders from an unseen commander—perhaps standing where the viewer of the work, judging by their gazes, is supposedly standing.

Raqib Shaw: Paradise Lost | The Art Institute of Chicago

Jun 7, 2025–Jan 19, 2026 (UTC-6)

Chicago

Exhibitions

Born in Calcutta and raised in the verdant Himalayan mountains of Kashmir, Shaw draws deeply on the landscapes and memories of his early life, many of which were fractured by political upheaval. Forced to leave Kashmir as a teenager, he relocated first to New Delhi and later to London, where he studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. His work is influenced by a broad range of sources—Mughal and Persian miniatures, Renaissance altarpieces, Old Masters paintings, Japanese arts of the Momoyama period, Kashmiri and Urdu poetry, and Hindu and Western mythology—and yet his visual vocabulary and technique are all his own.

Strange Realities: The Symbolist Imagination | The Art Institute of Chicago

Oct 4, 2025–Jan 5, 2026 (UTC-6)

Chicago

Exhibitions

Symbolism is among the most complex art movements to define. Although it followed on the heels of Impressionism, whose imagery was accessible and bright, Symbolism’s dark and mysterious vocabulary is far less known.While Symbolist artists were aligned in their embrace of the creative imagination, they used diverse styles and drew inspiration from the past, the future, and the interior self. Complicating the movement further was its lack of a single central hub; instead Symbolism was a loosely connected trend across Europe.
