Valeria Terrazas: The Bark Before The Bite
@ VSG Contemporary
673 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago IL 60642
Opening Saturday, February 15th, from 6PM - 9PM
VSG Contemporary is proud to present Valeria Terrazas’ first Chicago solo show, The Bark Before the Bite.
At first glance, the work brims with ferocity, but beneath its sharp edges lies a softer, introspective core—a reflection of Terrazas herself, who is both tender and fierce, nurturing and unyielding. This exhibition centers around 48 stills from a dynamic video capturing a dog mid-bark and growl, inviting viewers to recognize the often-overlooked signs that precede aggression.
Though Terrazas resists autobiographical readings of her work, those who know her will sense personal echoes throughout this body of work. Having exhibited extensively in group shows across Chicago, The Bark Before the Bite marks a pivotal return to solo exhibitions after college. Beyond her artistic practice, Terrazas serves as the lead studio assistant to Tony Fitzpatrick, who played a key role in the production and promotion of the show.
