--"eMotion pictures: An Exhibition of Orthopaedics in Art" runs April 10 - July 20 at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E Washington -FREE- call (312) 744-6630 for information. This juried exhibit features work by more than 100 orthopaedic physicians and patients from around the world (16 from Chicago). The exhibit tells stories of feelings, of injury, dealing with pain and recovery, disability...all through art... Another artist's piece, "Degeneration," is a humorous riff on a spine with an injured disc - it is a stack of doughnuts with their jelly filling squirting out... *The glass skeleton sculpture is the centerpiece of the exhibit, and from the picture in the paper, looks pretty amazing.
