Skin in the Game, Chicago, Illinois: group exhibit curated by Zoe Lukov and produced by Abby Pucker

Skin in the Game, a group exhibit of over 30 artists curated by Zoe Lukov

Skin in the Game, an exhibition of over 30 artists, including Theaster Gates,  Jane Dickson, Carlos Betancourt, Nick Caves, Derrick Adams and Raul De Nieves. The exhibition, a collective offering, is about touch, transmission, and skin—the potential, vulnerability and risk contained therein—as a boundary to protect from danger or as a porous border to receive. It seeks to establish a dialogue with the erotic and has through lines that touch on game, color, race, the hunt, sport, religious iconography and competition. Taking over an unlikely Art Deco space in the heart of South Beach, where Lincoln Road meets Washington Avenue, where anesthetized urban mall shopping meets bikini-clad bombshells and boxing buffs, amidst the vestiges of a bygone south beach-past of tattoo parlors, sex shops and strip clubs, the exhibition presents a multiplicity of interpretations on skin.
