DOMINIC McGILL ROBYN O'NEIL CLAIRE PENTECOST AMY RUFFO

January 25-March 14, 2008

In huge, wall-filling drawings with maps, directional arrows and blocks
of text, Deb Sokolow (Chicago) mixes politics, popular culture,
conspiracy theory, and social anxiety into sweeping, intricate tales
worthy of any Great American Paranoid.

The Flight of Fake Tears features a sculptural tent-drawing by Dominic
McGill (New York), an enigmatic single-panel narrative drawing by Robyn
O’Neil (Houston), photographed studio wall-drawings by Claire Pentecost
(Chicago), and analogical landscapes by Amy Ruffo (Sheboygan).

Gallery hours: Wednesday & Friday-Sunday, 12 noon-5 pm; Thursday, 12
noon-8 pm.
