Julia Barbosa Landois lets it fly in "M*dres," an exhibit of silkscreen prints that explores gendered language and English and Spanish phrases employing the words "mom," "mother" or "madre" that are used as insults and slurs. It is one of four shows opening at Blue Star Contemporary. Also on the slate: "Homage," a group show featuring work by artists including David Almaguer, Joe Harjo and Jennifer Khoshbin that pays tribute to "The Blue Star Exhibition," the 1986 exhibit that birthed the space; "The Blue Hour (A Clock Stopped)," an exhibit of work by Jessica Halonen that dips into the cultural and social association with the pigment Prussian Blue; and "Turning Memory," an exhibit of photographs by Chicago-based artist John Steck Jr. that evoke themes of ephemerality, fragility and mortality.
