Lindsay Adams : Errantry
September 10, 2026 – October 31, 2026
Patron Gallery, 1612 W. Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
PATRON presents our second solo exhibition, Errantry, with Chicago-based artist Lindsay Adams. Adams’s new body of work extends an exploration into the query at the root of her practice; Where can I go to wander? As she moves across her canvases with an intuitive choreography, delicate gestures evidence errant modes of being, and moving through the world. Errantry marks her first exhibition since the unveiling of her mural commission at the Obama Presidential Center. The exhibition takes its title from Édouard Glissant’s concept of errantry, articulated in his Poetics of Relation published in 1990, as a form of movement that resists the demand for a singular origin or stable identity. For Glissant, errantry is not aimlessness but a way of being, in relation to places, histories, people, and systems of knowledge that remain irreducible to one another. Adams’s paintings similarly resist a fixed point of arrival. Forms appear to gather and float across their surfaces, creating environments that feel at once intimate and expansive.
