Western Exhibitions is a contemporary art gallery with an emphasis on personal narratives and cosmol
Western Exhibitions was conceived in 2002 as a nomadic commercial gallery, staging shows at apartments, lofts, other galleries and participating in the influential Stray Show. In 2004, director (and ex-artist) Scott Speh first opened a brick-and-mortar space on Chicago’s west side and after 10 years in the West Loop, moved to Chicago’s West Town neighborhood in 2016, along with Document, Volume Gallery and Paris London Hong Kong.

If you disregard the gratuitous, mean-spirited, elitist and totally unnecessary first paragraph (not pictured here), this review in Artforum of Courttney Cooper's recent show here is quite thoughtful and insightful.
Courttney Cooper For Courttney Cooper, Cincinnati, his hometown, is a WORLD CLASS CITY. That phrase appears in one of his large hand-drawn maps—four of which were on view in his exhibition “America’s Octoberfest. Zinzinnati. U.S.A.,” along with two smaller ink-and-watercolor drawings.
