Newcity Art reviews Nick Fury’s exhibition Parallel Tracks: The Art of Transit in Chicago and Tokyo at Epiphany Center for the Arts.
The article explores how Fury’s work uses transit maps, spray paint, correction tape and vinyl to connect the visual language of Chicago and Tokyo transit systems. The review frames the exhibition as a study of movement, memory and urban experience, shaped by the rhythms of public transportation and city life.
The feature also highlights Epiphany Center for the Arts as an especially meaningful setting for the exhibition, noting how the building’s history, architecture and atmosphere create a strong contrast to a traditional white-cube gallery space.

About Epiphany Center for the Arts
Conceived with the vision to return Epiphany to a place for people to congregate, the shuttered, historic Church of the Epiphany has been preserved and adapted into the Epiphany Center for the Arts, an iconic cultural hub “For the Good of Art, Entertainment and Events.” Thoughtfully designed, the exemplary 42,000-square-foot campus located on the artsy edge of Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood boasts three distinct venues (Epiphany Hall, The Sanctuary and The Chase House) and a stunning array of amenities. The campus also features eight galleries that serve as a platform for a diverse selection of artists from Chicago and beyond. Epiphany’s exhibitions showcase the work of women, the LGBTQIA community, artists of color, and the disability culture. Epiphany’s top priority is to curate programming that is inclusive, while providing a place where established artists can collaborate with emerging ones. Epiphany’s programming serves to unite community and artists alike while “Bringing Chicago Together.” Visit www.epiphanychi.com to learn more.
