"Sojourn"
Through Oct. 21 at Margin Art Gallery and Collective, 1915 S. Halsted; 5-8 p.m. Thursday Friday; 2-8 p.m. Saturday; noon-6 p.m. Sunday This exhibit's title is apt, given the journey taken by this barely year-old collective and the paths its artists have traveled to show something meaningful in this Pilsen space. The trip may veer from expectations, like Todd Logan and Paul Kepner's framed e-mails, which elevate the frivolous medium to more adequately convey life crises, or Linda Logan's "Disposable Art," shredded paper salvaged in wood boxes and classified by hue. And in the "Parking Garage" diptych and "Off Ramp" triptych, Jason Watts elevates our auto addiction to a bright pop art religion.

Soujourn
Runs through October 21 at Margin Art Gallery and Collective The exhibit's title references the journey taken by this barely year-old collective and its artists, like Avisheh Mohsenin’s reconnection to departed loved ones living in worlds she never knew, and Todd Logan and Paul Kepner’s recontextualized emails. The darkest corners of this exhibit, from T.W. Li's reevaluation of images related to 9/11 to Paige Barnes's return to childhood's forbidden forest, are its most fascinating.
