Found this in my inbox. It looks like a good one to check out if you’re going to be in Chi-town this spring. Might even be a reason to plan a trip! Though it looks to be traveling a bit later in the year…

From the press release: "
iCI announces the tour of Slightly Unbalanced,
an exhibition of works by artists who have focused on neurosis of
various kinds in their work, using themselves and the people around
them as fodder for their investigations. During the past fifteen years,
inspired by the work of several prominent older artists, a younger
generation has expanded the contemporary art vocabulary to encompass a
subject that is now well known to the general public. The exhibition
brings together 35 works by 18 artists or artists’ groups who make use
of psychology as a kind of lingua franca—we all know what the symptoms
of neurosis are, if not the particular diagnoses."
