Works by John Opera will be on view at the Renaissance Society in Chicago as part of the group exhibition 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳, opening tomorrow, Saturday, May 2nd from 4–7PM, with a curator talk at 4PM.
𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳 is a group exhibition about watching the sky, something that is deceptively simple at first. It unfolds in two parts, featuring twenty-eight artists. As it reflects on different forms of observation in everyday life and in a scientific register, the exhibition gradually spills over into a sense of life that is more layered and complex. Part 1 introduces certain celestial rhythms and cycles, and it draws out experiences of time. Part 2 brings into view evolving relationships with technology and militarization of the skies. It turns out there is a lot at stake in the space above us. Visit the Ren's website for details on the exhibition's public program, which includes an exhibition walk-through, workshop, and performances.
𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳 Part 1: May 2 – June 7, 2026
𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘳 Part 2: June 10–July 12, 2026

Part of Palomar, a two-part group exhibition this summer at the Renaissance Society. The title references both an observatory on a California mountaintop and Italo Calvino’s Mr. Palomar—“a seeker of the cosmic in the everyday who shares his name with that place.”

We are pleased to announce that John Opera, Solar Eye, 2024-2025 has entered the collection of the Burchfield Penney Art Center!
Originally exhibited in Opera’s exhibition When the Sun is Done this January, the exhibition meditated on the threshold between visibility and vanishing, drawing inspiration from philosopher Jean-François Lyotard’s notion of “solar collapse”—the eventual dissolution of the sun’s energy and the cosmic shifts that follow. At the heart of the exhibition were montaged images of diffraction patterns, captured through custom-built photographic apparatus, shot on film, and printed using the gum bichromate process on canvas. This method imparts a painterly tactility and material presence to each image. These intricate visual fields, formed as light interacts with physical obstacles, suggest a universe in flux. Stop by to grab a copy of the exhibition catalogue, which features an essay by Nancy Weekly, leading authority on Charles E. Burchfield, and curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center here in Buffalo, NY. Congratulations John!

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
