FLXST CONTEMPORARY presents “Charm: a Group Show”

Opening Reception: November 4, 4-7 PM

Featuring Artists: Izzy Cho, Lien Truong, Cathy Hsiao, Sona Kim, Srishti Bahl, Liz Merritt Kong.

Curated by Laura Kina, Vincent de Paul Professor, the Art School, DePaul University, and Co-Curated by Reevah Agarwaal.

“Charm” takes its title from Chicago-based artist Izzy Cho’s sculpture “Charms at Rest” (2023) and is a serendipitous interplay of six Asian and Asian American femmes and thems, each contributing to the idea of “Charm” in its mystical, alluring, and superstitious interpretation.

The artworks featured in this exhibition embrace the decorative and feminist/queer aesthetics of ornamentation and excess. Each artist brings their unique palette, materiality, and identity to the interdisciplinary works, yet their collective presence creates a stunning tapestry of artistic expression and cultural commentary.
