Join us for an exclusive walkthrough of Alice Tippit: Rose Obsolete with the artist herself. Tippit’s paintings and works on paper generate multiple layers of meaning through poetic techniques like metaphor, serving as indirect references rather than clear, straightforward representations, exploring, in turn, the differences between “looking” and “seeing.” Her images float between the familiar and the enigmatic––recognizable forms and shapes are removed from any clear context or obvious meaning. The walkthrough will feature exclusive insight into the exhibition from the artist and Curator, Ionit Behar, followed by an audience Q&A.

This program is partially supported by EXPO Chicago, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events CityArts program and the Illinois Arts Council.
