Closing: Lee Mingwei @ Cultural Center
This multi-part exhibit by the Taiwan-born artist, called Impermanence, features a sand version of Picasso's Guernica, an assortment of bed-and-nightstand arrangements, and three beautiful enclosures in which you're encouraged to write that letter you've been putting off. (You can have it mailed, or leave it in the enclosure for someone else to read.) This is the kind of exhibit you want to return to with friends. Free. 77 E Washington. For more information, call 312-744-7730 or visit the website.
