M. LeBlanc is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2017 by independent curator Marc LeBlanc. Located in a distinctive fin-de-siècle storefront in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, the gallery presents solo and curated group exhibitions by an international roster of artists working across painting, sculpture, new media, and installation. Since its inaugural solo exhibition, Kristen Stewart by Berlin-based artist Hans-Jörg Mayer (b. 1955), M. LeBlanc has established itself as one of Chicago’s leading venues for incisive contemporary art with a program beloved for bringing canonical and mid-career artists into conversation with a prescient cohort of younger voices. Now in its eighth year, the gallery’s program represents a dozen artists based in Berlin, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Montreal.

M. LeBlanc is deeply committed to fostering meaningful relationships with artists by supporting long-term artist-led projects that push boundaries and expand the possibilities of contemporary practice. By presenting work across a wide range of media, formats, and geographies, the gallery cultivates a program that responds deliberately to the complex social, political, and aesthetic challenges of today.

In addition, M. LeBlanc extends its reach through original publications and itinerant curatorial projects. These initiatives, including reading series, film screenings, and off-site exhibitions, offer deeper context for the gallery and amplify critical work within the community and beyond. M. LeBlanc regularly participates in prominent national and international art fairs while maintaining ongoing collaborations with institutions, curators, and cultural organizations committed to contemporary art.

Joseph Grigely: Monologue of a Deaf Man

On view during Chicago Exhibition Week

M. LeBlanc is proud to present Monologue of a Deaf Man, the gallery’s first exhibition with Chicago artist Joseph Grigely, and his first solo gallery show in Chicago since 2004. Grigely’s exhibition consists of two bodies of work separated by the space of over 30 years: early dispersion paintings from the late 1980s and more recent conceptual work related to the politics of disability and difference.

Joseph Grigely (American, b. 1956 in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts) lives and works in Chicago. He has had solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; the MCA, Chicago; the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin; Serralves Foundation, Porto; and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. He has also participated in the Whitney, Venice, Berlin, Istanbul, Liverpool, and Sydney Biennials.
