Expo Chicago 2025: A Showcase of Hope, Diversity, and Resilience

Expo Chicago, the contemporary art fair held at the iconic Navy Pier, has returned with more than 200 participants in its second run under the ownership of Frieze. This year, the show aims to stand out with new partnerships and fair sections, including a collaboration with the Galleries Association of Korea (GAoK). The energy of the GAoK participants is invigorating, serving as a reminder that while art fairs can sometimes feel like corporate rituals, they still hold the power to inspire dreams.

One standout at the fair is Moonassi, an artist represented by the Everyday Moonday gallery from Seoul. Moonassi’s ethereal depictions of human connection, created using ink on traditional Korean paper, have garnered significant attention from collectors and galleries. With most of his works priced between $7,000 to $18,000, Moonassi’s pieces were quick to sell out on opening day, showcasing the universal appeal of his art.

Another highlight is the Richard Beavers Gallery from Brooklyn, which presented a themed exhibition titled “Breaking the Simulation.” Through the works of oil painter Terron Cooper Sorrells, the gallery aims to spark conversations around sociopolitical challenges, particularly those affecting Black communities. Sorrells’ art, characterized by arresting figuration and layered imagery, offers a poignant commentary on the systems that shape Black lived experiences.

Leslie Barlow, represented by the Bockley Gallery in Minneapolis, captivated visitors with her imaginative depictions of Black cosplayers. Her work celebrates the spirit of the cosplay community, emphasizing identity, radical play, and transformation. At the Center for Native Futures booth, artist Anna Tsouhlarakis used bold black and white banners to convey powerful truths about Native peoples, shedding light on contemporary Native art and its significance beyond museum walls.

Sofía Fernández Díaz, a multimedia artist showcased by the Hyde Park Art Center, shared her vibrant sculptures that blend craft, found materials, and traditional Mexican artisan processes. Her presence at the fair underscores the importance of creating bridges between cultures and proudly showcasing one’s heritage.

As the day at Expo Chicago unfolded, a sense of hope permeated the air. Amidst market instability and political uncertainty, the artists stood as beacons of resilience, cultural pride, and community celebration. Visitors, like Jenny Kendler, noted a newfound sense of joy and vibrancy at the fair, attributing it to a collective response to the current political climate.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Expo Chicago, one thing became clear: art has the power to uplift, unite, and inspire. As artists continue to push boundaries and celebrate diversity, they serve as a guiding light in a world that often feels chaotic. Expo Chicago 2025 stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of creativity and the transformative power of art.
