"William J. O'Brien"

Don't think of the sections of O'Brien's first major survey exhibition as sections, but as stanzas, with each one showcasing some aspect of the artist's process-his "language" of creation. Curated by Naomi Beckwith, the exhibition itself is organized like a poem, reflecting O'Brien's interest in words and poetry. On view is a wide variety of media in which the Chicago-based artist works, including ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing and textiles.
