By Caitlin Anklam

In Jonas Mekas, Open Archives at Mana Contemporary’s Chicago location, the exhibit employs a straightforward curation: Moving clockwise around the room, the objects follow the order of the newsletter’s release, the gallery lined with small gray floating shelves, one object per shelf.

The sheer amount of material is difficult to process. Installation view: Alejandro Contreras: In Work We Trust ¡Chamo, ¿qué hiciste con el carro?!, The Boiler at ELM Foundation, Brooklyn, 2023.
