CHICAGO: The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is holding a group show of paintings and works on paper titled "Surface Impressions." Taking part in the exhibit are Christine Basick, Guy Benson and Jessica Gondek of Chicago, along with Vladimir Zabeida of Montreal. The artists are linked by a formal concern with surface and texture. Although their approaches veer from tight geometric configuration to warm and highly textured surfaces, they share a concern with charging the spatial plane and developing compositions of rigor and energy. The exhibit runs through April 16. The institute is located at 2320 W. Chicago Ave.; telephone, (773) 227-5522.
