“Lucid Dreamer” by Reginald Madison

Where: Rachel Uffner

When: Through January 11, 2025

Why It's Worth a Look: Like dropping the needle on a Sun Ra record, Reginald Madison’s work is otherworldly, improvisational, and alive. Twenty years of his practice come together in this visual jam session, where roofing tar and found wood are exalted alongside oils and canvas.

Know Before You Go: A student of found materials, the artist’s career first began when he came upon a box of painting supplies in a garbage can under Lake Shore Drive in his native Chicago.
