This is a detail from Deb Sokolow’s Many Organizations (2013), part of her new exhibition at Chicago’s Western Exhibitions gallery. 

Sokolow’s art typically presents bizarre fictional narratives in a series of graphic forms. In this case, Western Exhibitions describes the first gallery of her show — in which this piece is included — as featuring “unframed collage drawings, artists books and a three-dimensional floor piece will focus on a variety of seemingly disparate topics: the inner workings of an international art theft organization known as “The Association”, a walk through nature which becomes less pleasant when rock formations begin to resemble the faces of former bosses, unexplained shrouded lumps on the floor, and the secret history of unconventional ingredients, such as troll meat, appearing in Philly cheesesteak sandwiches.”

Sokolow is the guest on the second segment of this week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast. She’s also showing new work at the Wadsworth Atheneum in the museum’s latest “Matrix” exhibition. Click through to Sokolow’s own website to see more of her work!
