“What is a friendHow do you get a friendHow do you keep a friendHow come I don’t have a friend?” This current, all-too-brief interval from June to early September in Chicago is socially gluttonous, before the shortened days find us reacquainted with our more antisocial impulses. For context, Bae and Lewis both met in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, each receiving their MFA in 2012. Along a wall facing the gallery’s long Chicago Avenue storefront windows is a smattering of paintings, drawings, papers, canvases, photos, collages, notes, and plans for works and cocktails both realized and deferred. The integral distance that may have existed between Lewis and Bae is vividly renewed between the tension of their works in situ.
