It has been an incredible year for Chicago-based artist, curator, and critic Michelle Grabner. She was one of the three curators for the 2014 Whitney Biennial, and I Work From Home, a survey of her artwork over the past 20 years, opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland. And now, Gallery 16 is honored to present Grabner Killam 2014, a major installation by Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam. This is their sixth exhibition with Gallery 16.

Grabner is co-founder, with husband Brad Killam, of the acclaimed artist-run project space The Suburban (est. 1999) and the nonprofit exhibition space, The Poor Farm (est. 2009). Grabner works in variety of mediums including drawing, painting, video and sculpture. She is widely known for her abstract metalpoint works and her paintings of textile patterns appropriated from everyday domestic fabric. She writes for Artforum, X-tra, and Art-Agenda among others.
