Gallery Chicago

The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art and the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture present a collaborative exhibition, “GALLERY Chicago,” pairing artworks from UIMA’s permanent collection with works by contemporary artists involved in NMPRAC’s programming.

Art is a language that knows no nationality, and “GALLERY Chicago” will highlight one of the visual languages that artists of Ukrainian and Puerto Rican backgrounds share: abstraction. UIMA houses one of the most robust collections of Ukrainian Modernist abstraction from the 1950s-1970s, while NMPRAC is dedicated to the cutting edge practices of contemporary Puerto Rican artists living or working in Chicago.
