Rashid Johnson is one of the more promising young artists to emerge from Chicago in recent years, with photographs and sculptures in exhibitions across the country. This fall, two galleries stage a large-scale homecoming for the artist. At Monique Meloche, Johnson constructs a site-specific installation, transforming the gallery into a "mystical recreation space that remixes black history with references to alchemy, divination, and astronomy. This exhibit is also being shown at Richard Gray Gallery.
