The show, organized by independent curator Emily Schroeder, will remain on view through Feb. 20. A reception is planned for 5:30 p.m. Jan. 30 in the gallery.
Schroeder is founder of the Normal Projects, a Chicago gallery specializing in exhibits of works on paper and video by emerging artists.

Van Riel was born and raised in Amsterdam, just a few minutes’ walk from what is now known as “the Rembrandt House.” The beauty of these 17th-century documents, handwritten by notaries and lawyers inspired the local artist to make this series of collages using paper, 23-karat gold leaf, screening, pearls and copper.
