 Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces Ground Floor, the ninth iteration of the Art Center’s biennial program showcasing select work by recent graduates from each of Chicago’s five MFA (Master of Fine Art) programs, on view from August 9 – November 1, 2026. The exhibition opens on the Art Center’s quarterly open house day, Center Day, with free public programs including artmaking from 1-4 p.m.

The exhibition offers a single destination to view some of Chicago’s most promising emerging talent who graduated in 2025-26 from one of Chicago’s five MFA programs: Columbia College Chicago, Northwestern University, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The University of Chicago, and The University of Illinois at Chicago. Artists represented in Ground Floor include Lamia Abukhadra, Gabby Banks, Claire Burke Dain, Ricardo De Lima, Emma Difani, naakita f.k., Aidan Anne Frierson, Laveen Gammie, Laurel Hauge, Liang He, Xingyu Huang, Susan Jablonski, Faye Yingfei Liang, Mauricio López F., Isaiah McDaniel, Te Palandjian, Breanna Nannette Robinson, Renee Royale, Kiana Shahnia, Nanako Wagley, and Judson Womack.Ground Floor presents the work of select graduates made in the past two years to articulate conceptual and stylistic trends coming out of Chicago art schools right now. Their modes of making range the full spectrum in media, from painting and printmaking to film and sculpture. 

The artists share their excitement about the opportunity and why it is meaningful at this moment in their practices: \"Over the years, I’ve known many artists whose careers and practices have been deeply impacted by this exhibition, and I’ve always seen it as an incredible resource and opportunity for artists navigating life after graduate school. I’ve been connected to the Art Center in many ways—as a South Sider, a visitor, an artist, and coordinator of the Center Program—long before this exhibition. To now have the honor of exhibiting my own work alongside so many other artists feels like a homecoming moment,\" says Aidan Anne Frierson. And Emma Difani shared: “While graduate school was a period of tremendous growth, it was also a bit of a bubble. This is an exciting opportunity to build relationships outside of the academic setting in a place for art-as-lived that celebrates artists of all ages and stages.” Xingyu Huang said, “For me, this opportunity to show my work on the building facade is an invitation to reimagine the boundaries we build between ourselves and the living world. My work challenges the idea that urban environments and ecological processes are separate by bringing attention to aquatic systems within exhibit spaces. It’s incredibly exciting to create a space at HPAC where audiences can physically confront these invisible, shared dependencies and realize we are entirely continuous with our environment.”

The exhibition opening day overlaps with the summer installment of the Art Center’s quarterly series Center Day, an all-ages program offering free public access to art viewing and artmaking, from 1-4 p.m. The August 9 programming includes exhibition receptions for three exhibitions (Jeff Carter: The Singer Pavilion Project and OFF THE WALL!, in addition to Ground Floor) from 1-4 p.m., a mural workshop from 1-4 p.m., Chicago Housing Authority mural unveiling from 1-1:30 p.m., a teen artist panel from 1:30-2 p.m., a basket weaving workshop led by Art Center resident artist ebere agwuncha from 1-3 p.m., and open studios from 1-4 p.m. with resident artists (ebere agwuncha, Carlos Flores, Cydney M. Lewis, Pooja Pittie, Fidencio Fifield-Perez, Anwulika Anigbo, D. Lammie-Hanson, Jess Atieno, Laveen Gammie, and Tongji Philip Qian).


About Ground Floor 2026

Ground Floor—so named because it provides a crucial platform for rising artists and traverses the entire lower level of the Art Center—gives exhibiting artists a major public venue in which to display their works at a critical juncture in their careers, helping to build, support, and ensure a strong and vibrant community of artists in Chicago.

The 21 artists in the exhibition were selected by the Art Center’s Ground FloorSelection Committee from a competitive pool of applicants who were nominated by respected Chicago-based artists, curators, and administrators. The 2026 jury committee includes nationally and internationally renowned artists, curators, and educators Cecilia Beaven, Amber Ginsburg, Sherwin Ovid, Lorelei Stewart, and Jade Yumang. The exhibition is curated by Director of Exhibitions and Residency, Mariela Acuña, and Exhibitions and Residency Manager, Tran Tran. The exhibition is enriched with further insight into these artists’ practices by didactic text by writer and curator Nicky Ni. A few notable Ground Floor alumni include Jonathan Castillo, Hai-Wen Lin, Tony Lewis, Maria Gaspar, Norman Teague, and Melissa Leandro.

This exhibition is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Illinois Arts Council, and The Joyce Foundation.

Hyde Park Art Center is excited to partner with the Veteran Art Movement, Chicago Cultural Center, Elmhurst Art Museum, and Walls Turned Sideways for the 2026 Veteran Art Triennial and Summit. The Hyde Park Art Center chapter Shifting Horizons considers land, migration, and decolonization through ideas informed by thinkers like Frantz Fanon and Harsha Walia. The exhibition invites reflections on how borders shape experience, how people navigate systems of control and resistance, and the uncertain landscapes that emerge amid ongoing struggles. The 2026 Veteran Art Triennial and Summit, Resisting the Long Wars, organized by curators Aaron Hughes, Mohamed Mehdi, Meranda Roberts, and Amber Zora, highlights artists’ creative defiance of war and militarism.

With a “creative cocktail” dress code, the evening will feature a cocktail party running from 5:30-7:00 p.m., followed by a seated dinner with remarks by Art Center leadership and artists. With a reputation as one of the city’s most “hands-on” art parties, the Gala will feature an after-party in collaboration with Lumpen Radio from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. that includes the popular Interactive Artist Interventions, resident artist open studios, performances, DJs, late-night bites, and more. 


Interactive Artist Interventions have been a highlight of past Art Center Galas, where guests were engaged in inventive interactions, such as getting inked by a tattoo artist and eating cake off a wall. This year’s participating artists will be announced soon at hydeparkart.org/gala.


Gala tickets are available for $750 with host committee sponsorship levels beginning at $2,500. Guests may RSVP and make donations at hydeparkart.org/gala. For more information on sponsorship levels, please contact Destinee Johnson at djohnson@hydeparkart.org.

The triennial program, created by Hyde Park Art Center in the mid-1990s, facilitates a fun and accessible commissioning process that builds lasting relationships between artists and patrons, creates a new base of support for artists, and invests in the vitality of Chicago’s cultural community. Not Just Another Pretty Face cultivates collectors, who are essential to the ecosystem that artists need to thrive, by embracing and encouraging the concept of patronage in contemporary art. Artists need not only collectors but also a community of people who know, support, and value what they do. To date, the Art Center has raised nearly $2,000,000 through this program—half of which goes directly to artists, with the other half supporting Art Center programs. Through Not Just Another Pretty Face, 375+ original works of art have been commissioned by 275 new and established collectors interested in investing in Chicago’s artists. This exhibition will showcase the nearly 100 new artworks made in this year’s iteration of this popular program.

Jessie Mott returns to the Art Center for her first solo exhibition in the space, A Wish to Repair. The exhibition explores themes of intimacy, desire, beauty, anxiety and shame through works on paper, site- specific wall paintings and the debut of a new collaboration with artist and writer Steve Reinke.

\r\n\r\n

A Wish to Repair builds upon Mott’s previous work including her and Reinke’s collaboration which uses past animations of Mott’s imagery coupled with the voices of friends accompanied with the music of Madonna. Despite its bright colors and kitsch aesthetic, the work is somber, dealing with existential crises where creatures pine and mourn for lost lovers, finding only brutal antagonization in return. More than 50 new works on paper will also be exhibited along side and embedded in a large wall painting to create an immersive experience which will leave the viewer pondering the same questions of meaning, value and love.

\r\n\r\n

Mott, a graduate of Northwestern’s MFA program, has emerged as an artist to watch, not just in Chicago and the surrounding region but also internationally. Following the completion of her MFA in 2009, Mott has continued to grow as an artist,participating in prestigious group and solo shows including Hyde Park Art Center’s 2010 edition of Ground Floor, which highlights the most talented artists coming out of Chicago’s MFA programs, and the 2014 Whitney Biennial.

Artist talk and tarot card reading April 21 2-4pm

\r\n\r\n

In her first solo exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center, A Modern Day Shaman’s Hybrid Devices, Power Objects, and Cure Books, artist Rhonda Wheatley showcases sculptures created using vintage and found materials which act as tools of healing and transformation, working with the user’s conscious and subconscious mind, cellular memories, ancestors, and past and future lifetimes.  

\r\n\r\n

Wheatley’s assemblage-based sculptures repurpose vintage electronics and other objects to release trauma, translate messages from one’s subconscious, tap resources from past and future lifetimes, and more. Vintage clocks are used to play with time, and radios connect sound and frequency to the unseen energy of “radio waves” while “space age” TV antennas both send and receive messages. These objects do not “turn on” in the ways they were originally intended. Rather, they are powered by energies from unseen realms; their functionality occurs within the user’s awareness. 

\r\n\r\n

The artist incorporates natural materials including quartz crystals to amplify intention, fossils which carry the energy of millions of years, and barnacle clusters to enhance one’s ability to adhere to intended personal changes, as well as snakeskin sheddings, cicada wings, moss and more. She also uses handmade elements, such as sacred geometry drawings and ceramics. Additionally, unstretched canvas works and altered books, in which Wheatley records experiences, dreams, and ideas, provide a glimpse into the mind of the creator while also highlighting her spirituality and work as a healer.

\r\n\r\n

“My sculptures are imbued with healing intent and energy,” states Rhonda Wheatley. “Each object is also attuned to the combined symbolic meanings of my materials. I use titles to address the function of the works as contemporary artifacts, rather than ‘art objects,’ revealing how they may be used in spiritual and healing practices and by whom. My work is inspired by my dreams and mystical experiences and informed by metaphysics and spiritual traditions across African, African diasporic, Native American, and other cultures.”

Teaching Summit April 29, 9:30am-4pm

\r\n\r\n

Open House April 21, 4-6pm

\r\n\r\n

Hyde Park Art Center welcomes back artist Jim Duignan to expand on his previous work at the Art Center highlighting art and education in the city in PUBLIC SCHOOL on view in Gallery 1 and 2. Duignan, of the Stockyard Institute, works collaboratively with artist and educator Rachel Harper, of Seen + Heard to create a imagination-inducing installation of curious objects - including a fort, a stage, a tower, a piano, and a decommissioned school bus - to construct a new playground for all ages. At a moment when the Public Education System struggles to exist, Chicago artists ask: where is learning actually happening in this city and who gets to determine what we should know?

\r\n\r\n

Over the four-month long run of the exhibition, the installation will be added to and activated by interdisciplinary projects from progressive Chicago-based artists and educators: Jacinda Bullie, William Estrada, Jaquanda Villegas, and Irina Zadov. “The space is a trigger for meaning,” explains Harper, “but it is completed when it is operationalized by the public, and it relies on neighborhood logic to rearrange its parts into a more useful whole.” Weekly workshops, classes, performances and talks will take place on Tuesdays and Saturdays in the gallery and in offsite locations across the Chicago vicinity. A calendar of daily events on the website will allow for the public to sign up to “teach” what they determine is important to being an educated person.

\r\n\r\n

The opening of PUBLIC SCHOOL marks the 10th anniversary of Duignan’s 2007 exhibition, Pedagogical Factory, a highly interactive exhibition that engaged national and international artists, theorists and collaboratives including The Center for Urban Pedagogy (New York), rum46 (Denmark), Think Tank (Philadelphia), Artlink (UK) and AREA Chicago. The Art Center acted as a hub for research, lively discussion, free school supply exchanges, radio broadcasts and much more. PUBLIC SCHOOL assesses the development of art education ten years later by including weekly free programming with a particular focus on the work being done in Chicago to develop informal, self-taught, vocational, and even “unschooled” modes of education.

\r\n\r\n

PUBLIC SCHOOL will kick off Hyde Park Art Center’s exploration of a radically different model for their art school and studio program in 2020 (released in a Strategic Plan in Fall 2016). The new program aims to expand access to ensure all people can participate in arts education and invests in the pedagogical practices and studio work of the artists that teach. The Art Center will host a Teaching Artists Summit in partnership with the Chicago Artists Coalition on Saturday, April 29, 2017 to address current obstacles and opportunities in the field.

The Presidential Library Project: Black Presidential Imaginary addresses the long history of representations of a black president of the United States in visual culture, both comedic and aspirational, through contemporary art installation and institutional archives. The exhibition curated by Ross Jordan presents visual, performance, architecture, and discussions that proposes a participatory, decentralized, speculative, and multinarrative foundation for the future Obama Presidential Center.

\r\n\r\n

The exhibition also highlights archives of documentary footage and contemporary artifacts invented from imagining the first black American President. Popular cultural images of black presidents include a selection of film and television representations, ranging from a film starring a seven-year-old Sammy Davis Jr. to Key and Peele’s “Anger Translator.”

\r\n\r\n

Presidential libraries and museums are notorious for obfuscating the historical truths found in their archives and for advancing a presidential and political agenda while diluting controversy, criticism and failure. Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed the first presidential library and museum on his own property in Hyde Park, New York in 1941. The Obama Presidential Center, to be built on Chicago’s South Side just blocks away from the Hyde Park Art Center, will be the fourteenth such structure, built with private funds and maintained with public money, dedicated to the preservation and presentation of the history of a presidential administration. The Presidential Library Project: Black Presidential Imaginary highlights both the racist and hopeful history of imagining a black president through archival and artistic encounters. 

\r\n\r\n

By presenting this project, the Art Center continues its support of emerging curators by providing the opportunity to showcase their ideas at a critical moment in their career, gaining visibility and creating connections in the arts community in Chicago and beyond. The guest curator of the exhibition, Ross Jordan, has been generating projects focused on the confluence of American politics, visual culture, and artistic production for the past several years. He is currently Curatorial Manager at Jane Addams Hull-House Museum.

\r\n\r\n

The Presidential Library Project is generously supported by the David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Arts Foundation.

Taking place on the 100th day of the Trump administration, the second annual citywide Teaching Artists Summit will provide a space for reflection and instruction on ways that arts pedagogy can create meaningful platforms for democracy, protest, and self-care.

\r\n\r\n

Guest facilitators will share insights into empowering students during moments of societal change, lead a guided exploration of the Art Center’s exhibition Public School, and introduce teaching artists to experiential processes that can be incorporated into their own classroom practices.

\r\n\r\n

Organized by Chicago Artists Coalition and Hyde Park Art Center, the Summit will be open to teaching artists working across disciplines, contexts, and student populations from throughout the city. We will implement an application process to ensure that participants reflect the diversity of teaching artists and practices in Chicago.

Part of Super Spring Sunday Exhibition Receptions

\r\n\r\n

Artist Talk on May 21 from 2-1 pm

\r\n\r\n

Hyde Park Art Center presents Corinna Button’s new solo exhibition Interfaces in the Cleve Carney Gallery and Gallery 2. Highlighting the relationship between printmaking and ceramic processes, this exhibition will showcase new work in both clay and print that combine the techniques of each medium to represent the multifaceted condition being a woman. 

\r\n\r\n

Button creates work that addresses the disjunction of real time and memory that happens through image-making by layering materials, embedding textures and scratching away surfaces. Her complex process involves layering fabrics, paints and other materials and then scraping them away, imbuing the works with a rich texture. Utilizing this approach in all of the media that she works with, Button observes that, “it’s the overlap of accident and intention that I like so much, because it impregnates the surface, giving it a sense of history and mystery.”

\r\n\r\n

Primarily focused on female portraiture, Button’s treatment of the subject often incorporates multiple angles at once, suggesting an uncanny paradox of femininity. Her work portrays women not as exact likenesses but rather as archetypal figures whose personality is only partially exposed to the surface. “Over the past four years, Corinna has built an impressive menagerie of iconic sphinxlike women in the studios of the Art Center,” stated Allison Peters Quinn, Director of Exhibition & Residency Programs.”We’re excited to share what happens behind the studio doors with the public and expand the discussion of Button’s work to a larger public.”

\r\n\r\n

Interfaces marks Corinna Button’s return to the Hyde Park Art Center following her completion of the Center Program in 2013. This program challenges working artists’ to develop new work through critical dialogue and guidance from professionals in the field. During the 6-month course, artists also having free access to the Art Center’s school studios to develop their practice and experiment with other media.

Wall of Now: Children of the Wall is a dynamic mural project inspired by the 50th Anniversary of the Wall of Respect , an iconic mural that presented portraits of African-American heroes on a private building on Chicago’s South Side from 1967-1971.

Sheri Rush’s first solo exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center, Portals of Discovery, features large-scale paintings which address the diminishing experience of nature, and specifically, the layers through which landscape is now viewed. We experience the sublime through the phone camera lens, pointed through the window of the car, train, or plane during our travels. The vast world becomes a blur, moving away from description to the communication of pure visual experience. 

\r\n\r\n

These layers can make it difficult to enter a painting. However, space exists where these windows become portals, giving access to a place where the imaginary is in a perpetual state of emerging and dissolving. This experience creates a sense of familiarity yet of dislocation. To fracture our sense of place is a certain dissolution of self, invoking a transformation, a portal of discovery, a spiritual quest, or a shamanic journey.

\r\n\r\n

Gallery 2

\r\n\r\n

Established during artist Doug Fogelson’s 2015-2016 residency with Openlands, one of the oldest metropolitan conservation organizations in the nation, the Open Land Art and Fact Team (O.L.A.F.T.) conducts research which studies the tensions between natural, outdoor spaces and the humans interacting with them. During visits to various preservation areas in northern Illinois—forest preserves, prairies, and other locations with native flora and fauna—O.L.A.F.T. took photographs and collected man-made and organic samples, artifacts of these sites.

\r\n\r\n

O.L.A.F.T. will display these images and artifacts, along with maps of visited areas. This exhibition aims to remind and educate audiences about the planet’s ecology, and how the human presence is inextricably entwined with nature. Using map markers, stickers, comment cards, and multiple choice questions, Openlands invites visitors to participate in the project, contributing their personal reactions and responses. O.L.A.F.T. hopes that this work inspires conversation about conservation, asking visitors to see themselves within nature and to envision the possibility of reinventing, or shifting the discourse on human relationships with the land.

William “Bill” Walker (1933 – 2011), was a prolific muralist best known for creating the iconic Wall of Respect on Chicago’s South Side in collaboration with the Organization of Black American Culture (OBAC). Urban Griot highlights Walker’s artwork beyond the wall spanning three series of drawings and several small paintings that he made between 1979 and 1984. The artwork borrowed from Chicago State University’s collection is a forceful documentation of the ills of Black urban society that still prevails today.

Gallery 1

\r\n\r\n

Chicago-based artist, Sara Black and New Zealand-based artist, Raewyn Martyn will construct a "speculative park" in response to architecture’s relationship with the far-reaching lumber industry that grew out of the south branch of the Chicago River. A large-scale, interactive structure will emerge from the balcony of the 2,400 square foot gallery, enabling visitors to walk on and through the sculpture, and be suspended over an immense floor painting. Constructed of diseased wood and byproducts, the project focuses on the human-made and geologic forces that have permanently altered the environment and our experiences.

Filmmaker and artist, Justine Pluvinage debuts Amazons, a new video commissioned for the Resilient Images Residency Exchange by Hyde Park Art Center and Centre Regional de la Photographie (CRP). 

\r\n\r\n

For Resilient Images, Pluvinage spent ten weeks researching Chicago through its inhabitants to develop the short cinematic artwork for the Jackman Goldwasser Catwalk Gallery. Over this period, she met with a multi-generational group of women hailing from all parts of the city to glean an understanding of resilience in contemporary Chicago, a recurring theme in Pluvinage’s work. The film features a notable poet-rapper and peace activist, a young artist living with alopecia who has created an ornate chainmail headdress to reclaim and adorn her physical appearance, a seasoned bodybuilder, a voguing performer, a dancer empowered by her own physical disability, a Latinx painter, an art and social justice philanthropist, as well as a one-year old taking her first steps.

Photographer and Sociologist, David Schalliol debuts a series of  nearly 40 images titled Mining Basin (Hauts-de-France), commissioned for the Resilient Images Residency Exchange by Hyde Park Art Center and Centre Regional de la Photographie (CRP). 

\r\n\r\n

Through his photography practice, David Schalliol invites us to renew and enrich our view of industrialized areas by looking at their populations and at how they inhabit such affected landscapes. His primary areas of interest are the urban and social consequences of industrial crises; the reshaping of cities and their operations; the housing inequalities produced by these crises; transportation and the nature of work inside urban spaces; and finally the strategies that inhabitants implement to overcome them.

\r\n\r\n

A public reception supported by the French Consulate for the Midwest, featuring both artists will take place on Sunday, January 14 from 2-5pm.

The rhythmic poetry of Don L. Lee (Haki Matabuti) and Bill Walker’s murals embedded across Chicago’s Southside in the 1960s greatly influenced artist Dorian Sylvain growing up.  For this exhibition, she creates an 80 foot long temporary mural to reimagine how racial unity and pride appear in Black communities today.  Sylvain combines the Afro-centric ornamentation and color palettes of Walker with her updated patterning and stylized urban landscape to highlight the reconciling of past and present social movements to build a more positive culturally rich environment for the next generation.

\r\n\r\n

During her three-month residency in the Guida Family Studios, Sylvain will paint on non-woven material to be collaged on to the mural and work with middle school youth to reconsider what the role public art should be in our neighborhoods.

February 11 @ 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

\r\n\r\n

Join us for a free presentation and conversation between Pamela Bannos, author of  “Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and Afterlife” and art collector, Ron Slattery. Vivian Maier was an American street photographer of French and Austro-Hungarian background. Maier bounced around between New York and France  before settling in Chicago in the 50’s where she worked as a nanny in Chicago’s North Shore for about 40 years.  Known for her extreme secrecy, Maier’s life was full of mystery until her work was found in storage units in Chicago in 2007. This discovery catapulted Vivian Maier into stardom almost overnight.  In “Vivian Maier: A Photographer’s Life and Afterlife“, Pamela Bannos reveals that Maier was not a nanny who moonlighted as a photographer; she was a photographer who supported herself as a nanny. Bannos contrasts Maier’s life with the mythology that strangers–mostly the men who have profited from her work–have created around her absence. This event aims to portray Maier through a clearer lens, as Bannos uncovers new information about Maier’s life and Ron Slattery discusses his collection of Maier’s work and its impact after her death. 

\r\n\r\n

Pamela Bannos is professor of photography in Northwestern University’s department of art theory and practice.

\r\n\r\n

Ron Slattery is an art collector and owner of the Ron Slattery Collection.

Sound artists Peter Maunu and Ryan Packard and visual artist Nelly Agassi collaborate to perform a nontraditional concert.  Using the walls, amplification, and a long wire bisecting the gallery, the artists transform architectural space designed by architect, Doug Garofalo into a musical instrument.

\r\n\r\n

Featuring artist David Schalliol in conversation with architect Marshall Brown to address how changes in our post-industrial landscape alter communities.

\r\n\r\n

This program is in conjunction with the Resilient Images exhibition and residency exchange.

\r\n\r\n

About the exchange: 

\r\n\r\n

“Resilient Images,” a new international project in collaboration with the Centre régional de la photographie Nord—Pas-de-Calais (CRP) located in the North of France. This collaboration marks the first between CRP and Hyde Park Art Center, who was named a 2016 grantee of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s International Connections Fund.

\r\n\r\n

At the center of the project is an exchange of two artists working with lens-based media who will develop new site-specific work during their residencies. The work will be featured in a two-part exhibition in September 2017 at the CRP and February 2018 at Hyde Park Art Center. Photographer David Schalliol, who will represent Chicago, and French artist Justine Pluvinage are the two artists participating in the program.

Painter Anna Kunz takes on the physicality of color and light in a large-scale installation.  Manipulating screens, transparency, free-standing board, fabric and paint, Kunz asks the viewer to experience abstract painting through their movement, sight and sound.

\r\n\r\n

Over the past two decades, the Chicago-based artist has been testing the boundaries of formal painting and the white cube gallery by incorporating sculpture, dance, nature, and the human body into her art practice.  Kunz masterfully positions colors together to cause a visual vibration and initiate the social aspect of painting. Colors talk to each other and construct a space that can open up or shut down our own interpersonal conversations as well. In Gallery 1, Kunz will activate painting to consider it’s potential for connecting people and disrupting cultural limitations.

During the 2017-2018 academic year, 5 practicing artists mentor 15- 25 student artists to develop their artistic voices. The young artists chose to address the challenges in articulating perplexed thoughts, feelings, and emotions into individual works of art. These various experiences of being a teen are “The Whole” subject of this exhibition presented through paintings, drawings, photographs, and video work made by the students both collaboratively and independently. Visitors are invited by teens to ask themselves “ya dig?” or Do you get what we are trying to say?  Both what teens feel able to express, and what they cannot fully articulate in words are presented in the artworks in this exhibition.

Stories of all kinds are more important than ever to our society and inside of the contemporary art world. But sometimes important narratives can be hidden inside of abstract works. These narratives can often drive the creative process while carrying larger messages that can be overlooked. Fugitive Narrative curated by Mike Nourse, will bring stories to the forefront, by featuring Chicago artists whose works are driven by abstracting narratives.

Inspired by the first revolution led on social media, Arab Spring (2010), Mycelial is a new performance that questions the existence of kinetic empathy through technology platforms. Using data captured from twitter feeds (# Egypt, #Yesallwomen & #BlackLivesMatter) during the social uprising, Chicago-based artist Erica Mott translates the rate, rhythm, emotional affect and spacialization of this feed through algorithmic analysis into choreography for 4 dancers (2 from Egypt, 2 from the US). Mott collaborates with coder, Hugh Sato and an Egyptian new media artist to create this new performance and immersive installation where one may have the embodied experience of a social uprising and feel a more empathic connection with virtual bodies across the world

Ivanoska and Calovski have collaborated non-exclusively since 2000 creating works that often address historical and theoretical hypothesis as context-based scenarios. Having reached the end of their two-month residency, join us for a dialogue and reflection on how their 2007 project Oskar Hansen’s Museum of Modern Art – an address for the avant-garde into the Skopje on the 1960s and it’s possible influence on the Yugoslavian art scene – has been reinvigorated in new ways through Building Sessions across the arts in Chicago.

\r\n\r\n

Ivanoska (b. 1974, Skopje) addresses established social roles and norms defined by the conventional social and political systems. Calovski (b. 1973, Skopje) is interested in reactivating, rather than fictionalizing, existing inconclusive modernist narratives. Their works have been presented at various institutions including Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (2014), HDLU-Croatian Association of Artists, Zagreb (2009), ŻAK | BRANICKA (2008), Kronika, Bytom (2007), and other venues. Their works are part of Deutsche Bank Collection, Art Telekom Collection, Van Abbemuseum, Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje, among other collections.

\r\n\r\n

This dialogue will be moderated by Residency & Public Programs Manager Ariel Gentalen

Hyde Park Art Center is proud to announce the return of Ground Floor, the fifth iteration of a biennial exhibition that features artwork by some of Chicago’s most promising emergent talent. TheGround Floor tradition began in 2010 with the intention to present a survey of artists representing the top-rated art schools offering Master of Fine Art degrees in Chicago. These institutions currently produce the young artists influencing the climate of art making here and abroad. The selection of paintings, prints, sculptures, installations, photography, and video work featured in Ground Floor provides a deeper look into the city’s pedagogical art institutions as well as the individual production and budding art practices of these rising artists.

Ground Floor, so named because it fills the entire lower level of the Art Center—over 6,000 square feet of gallery space—gives these artists a major public venue in which to display their works at a critical juncture in their careers, helping to build, support and ensure a strong, vibrant and broad community of artists in Chicago. The exhibition also facilitates a unique cross-institution conversation under one institutional umbrella.

Thursday, September 13, 2018 - 4:00pm to 8:00pm

\r\n\r\n

The Teaching Artists Fall Summit provides an opportunity for practicing teaching artists to better understand how self-assessment can be used as an empowering tool for connecting one’s values to quality improvement and enhanced communication strategies.

\r\n\r\n

Organized by Chicago Artists Coalition and Hyde Park Art Center as part of an ongoing partnership that aims to support the growth of Chicago’s teaching artist community, the Fall Summit is open to teaching artists working across disciplines, contexts, and student populations from throughout the city. 

\r\n\r\n

Location: Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S. Cornell Ave., Chicago, IL

\r\n\r\n

 

\r\n\r\n

Schedule

\r\n\r\n

• 4:00 - 5:30pm
\r\nContinuous Quality Improvement as a Means to Self-Assessment and Professional Growth 
\r\nwith Tracy Olasimbo

\r\n\r\n

Utilizing Ingenuity, Inc.’s Arts Partner Standards of Practice and a selection of tools developed by the organization as a starting point, this session will introduce teaching artists to the process of applying self-assessment frameworks to their teaching practices in order to identify strengths and potential growth areas.

\r\n\r\n

Tracy will guide participants through the process of developing personalized evaluation frameworks that reflect and reinforce the core values that inform their work in the classroom and as a cultural producer. To conclude the session, we will explore Ingenuity’s artlook[1]  map and ways that this tool can be incorporated into community building and job seeking strategies.

\r\n\r\n

• 5:30 - 6:30 pm
\r\nPotluck Dinner

\r\n\r\n

Bring a dish or beverage to share while connecting with fellow teaching artists!

\r\n\r\n

• 6:30 - 8:00pm
\r\nCommunication Strategies for Building Agency Across Diverse Organizational Cultures with William Estrada

\r\n\r\n

In the Summit’s second session, participants will develop a thorough working knowledge of how a self-assessment that foregrounds one’s values can be used as the foundation for effective communication.

\r\n\r\n

By reframing evaluation as a tool to advocate for oneself and one’s values in a variety of circumstances with school administrators, students, and arts organization partners, William will coach teaching artists to understand their own agency and to create strategic, mutually beneficial partnerships with arts education organizations. This highly participatory session will include small group breakout sessions to workshop solutions to common challenges and initiate long-term systemic change.

\r\n\r\n

Workshop Facilitators

\r\n\r\n

As Partnerships & Professional Learning Associate, Tracy Olasimbo manages Ingenuity’s Outreach collective impact panel, providing individualized support to category 4 schools. After attending a SEED training (aimed at self-reflection as a means by which communities and workplaces can build the capacity to create equitable spaces), she became impassioned with helping others foster cultural awareness to build equitable and inclusive spaces. It is with this focus that Tracy values the mentoring relationships she has cultivated with schools, teachers, and arts partners through leading the Outreach panel.

\r\n\r\n

Through the lens of being a parent, Tracy develops trainings in her associateship which provide arts education stakeholders a cognizance of the diverse CPS student experience in order to inspire culturally-relevant, equitable arts programming.

\r\n\r\n

Tracy joined Ingenuity from Visiting Angels of the Chicago North Shore. She holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. ingenuity-inc.org

\r\n\r\n

William Estrada was born to immigrant parents and grew up assembling memories in California, Mexico, and Chicago. His teaching and art making practice focus on exploring inequality, migration, historical passivity, cultural recognition, self-preservation and media representation in marginalized communities. He documents and engages experiences in public spaces to transform, question, and make connections to established and organic systems through discussion, creation, and promotion of counter narratives. He has worked as an educator and artist with Telpochcalli Elementary, Chicago Arts Partnership in Education, Hyde Park Art Center, SkyArt, Marwen Foundation, Urban Gateways, DePaul University’s College Connect Program, Graffiti Institute, Vermont College of Art and Design, Prison + Neighborhood Art Project and The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.

\r\n\r\n

William has presented in various panels regarding community programming, arts integration, and social justice curricula through the Illinois Art Education Association, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois Humanities Council, Smart Museum of Art, the National Guild of Schools in the Arts, National Art Education Association, Teachers for Social Justice San Francisco, Iowa University, Grand View University and Illinois State University.  In 2016 he was awarded the Teaching Artist Community Award from 3Arts Chicago.

\r\n\r\n

His current research is focused on developing community based and culturally relevant programs that center power structures of race, economy, and cultural access in contested spaces. werdmvmntstudios.com

\r\n\r\n

The Art of Being Dangerous - Public Critique, 1–3pm
\r\nJoin Center Program artists from 1-3pm as they present works and answer questions around this year’s program exhibition, titled “The Art of Being Dangerous,” curate by Erin Toale. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Stay around after to join the exhibition reception from 3-5pm. Exhibiting artists include Solomon Adufah, Vidura Jang Bahadur, Ishita Dharap, Max Guy, Kate Hampel, Kelly Jones, Jill Lanza, Haerim Lee, Frances Lightbound, A.J. McClenon, Eliza Myrie, Justin Nalley, Pooja Pittie, Kellie Romany, Alejandro Waskavich, Brittney Leeanne Williams, Nancy Lu Rosenheim, Udita Upadhyaya, and Toby Zallman.

\r\n\r\n

Open Studios, 2–5pm
\r\nJoin us to meet and learn from the practice of our amazing artists! We will be welcoming our Jackman Goldwasser International Artist, Nadim Abbas who will be visiting us from Hong Kong. Nadim Abbas (唐納天, b.1980) explores the role that memory-images play in the intersection between mind and matter. This has culminated in the construction of complex set pieces, where objects exist in an ambiguous relationship with their own image, and bodies succumb to the seduction of space.

\r\n\r\n

Free Family Art-Making Activities, 1–4pm
\r\nCha Cha Collage
\r\nArtist, Mary Tepper will lead an art project inpired by Hairy Who artist, Suellen Rocca and her painting, “Cha Cha Couple”, included in the exhibition The Time is Now!

\r\n\r\n

Do What Ralph Does: 1968-2018, 1–4pm
\r\nTry your hand at collage, an art-making technique perfected by artist Ralph Arnold in the 1960s. Participants will learn about Arnold’s process by collaging original magazine clippings from 1968 and 2018, drawing connections between the two culturally and politically tumultuous eras and will get to take their image home. Arnold, who showed his work at the Hyde Park Art Center in the 1960s, is the focus of the upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Photography: “The Many Hats of Ralph Arnold: Art, Identity & Politics,” which opens October 11, 2018.

\r\n\r\n

What’s Your Bag? 1–4pm
\r\nSilkscreen and take home a tote bag with one of artist Ralph Arnold’s trademark, counter-cultural phrases from the 1960s: “What’s Your Bag?” Arnold explored the complexity of his identity as a gay, black, Korean War veteran through his collages, many of which drew upon the liberated sensibility of the 1960s. Arnold, who showed his work at the Hyde Park Art Center in the 1960s, is the focus of the upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Photography: “The Many Hats of Ralph Arnold: Art, Identity & Politics,” which opens October 11, 2018.

\r\n\r\n

Fall Exhibitions Reception, 3–5pm
\r\nCelebrate the latest exhibitions Ground Floor and The Art of Being Dangerous featuring new work by Chicago-based artists. Artists will be present and refreshments will be served. The event also features live art performances and musical performances.

Join French writer and activist Peggy Pierrot for a screening of Va Toto by Pierre Creton, as part of her “Transatlantic melancholia” film curation practice for EXPO Chicago. This film about belonging, gay rural life, physical labor & elderly bodies all inform and illuminate Pierrot’s own practice that intersects journalism, publishing, and radio programs as necessary tools to make audible the voices of societies silenced groups and individuals.

\r\n\r\n

Her research currently focuses on exhuming the histories from the black Atlantic and inviting local populations to participate actively in her research. Pierrot is hosted by the Hyde Park Art Center as part of the Méthod Room in Chicago,  a program of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and curated by Guillaume Désanges to foster French-American collaborations through cultural and civic engagement on the South Side of Chicago.

\r\n\r\n

Va Toto a movie by Pierre Creton

\r\n\r\n

“I fell in love with the work of Pierre Creton and it took me by surprise. His movies. His writings. The way he is portraiting men, work, aging, the life in rural France. I love his tenacity, his independence, his modesty, his perseverance, his love of the earth (soil), his relations to non human being, his love of the body of men. I like his sense of belonging because I recognize myself in it, even if according to stereotypes there is not much that could connect this former farm worker and me. But like Pierre Creton i hate travelling, i have the nostalgia of where i grew up and it’s still painfull to have had to move from there. Because I am also strongly from somewhere even if lot of french and european people deny my belonging. The Gesellschaft is suposed to free us from the social control of the Gemeinschaft, and it does in a way. But it also leave us empty. In cities, i still look after communities. And mine i find it in my Brussels neighborood common decency. So we have a lot in common, i think, Pierre Creton and me.” – Peggy PIERROT

The plot : The arrival of Toto, a young wild boar, at Madeleine’s home, Vincent’s altercations with monkeys during his trip to India, and Joseph’s dreams caused by his artificial breathing machine—three stories that Pierre shares with us, which, in different ways, evoke our relationship with animals, our fellow beings.

Through selected paintings, drawings, artists’ books, installation and media works, this exhibition curated by Jessica Cochran will consider and contextualize Deborah Boardman’s vibrant career as an artist primarily working in Chicago for over three decades.

As a painter, Boardman was deeply committed to the formal and expressive potential of color and gesture. Her subjects spanned from studio interiors, horses, sacred architecture, emblems and portraits of loved ones, to ethereal memories and dreamscapes. In later years, her paintings and works on paper in gouache evolved towards an increasingly gestural and color-driven approach to patterns, hand-lettered texts, and abstraction. Beyond the canvas, Boardman fostered human connections within her work through multi-dimensional, site-specific, and community projects. Employing extensive modes of research, and often with the assistance of spiritual dowsers, she explored topics of history, religion, spirituality, architecture, the environment, human frailty, and mortality. 

Most recently, her installations, writing, recordings and paintings generously explored her psychic and physical vulnerabilities in the face of cancer. Shortly before her passing in 2015, art critic Lori Waxman wrote that her recent work grappled with the “unseen” and “ineffable,” articulating “what life looks like in that gracious limbo between life and death.”

The exhibition will be comprised of a selection of early works and documentation from the 1980s, as well as a selection of paintings, books, and videos from 1990 until 2015.  Highlights will include works made during residencies in India, Arizona and at Ox-Bow; and works made for exhibitions at Indiana University-Kokomo, the Gahlberg Gallery at the College of DuPage, the Chicago Cultural Center, and the Experimental Sound Studio.

Drawing on an extensive studio archive of hundreds of works, Painter, & will begin to scratch the surface of a prolific oeuvre. As such, it can be thought of as an impression–a curatorial perspective that charts Boardman’s evolution in an intimate, porous, and exploratory way. This approach reflects Boardman’s own “relational” strategies for showing works made along a continuum, in a manner that, as she wrote in 2002, reflects “upon and illuminates the particular spirit and architecture of the conditions of display.”

On the occasion of the exhibition, the Hyde Park Art Center is pleased to present a catalog featuring essays by Jessica Cochran, Kristin Korolowicz, and Tate Shaw.  This was generously supported by a grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

The U.S. Constitution protects all people living in the United States, regardless of immigration status, with certain rights and protections. Using the household window curtain format, Aram Han Sifuentes appliques messages to authorities (such as police and I.C.E.) and messages to neighbors of basic constitutional rights to protect themselves if such authorities show up at their homes.  This new series of textile works by the Chicago-based artist translates these rights into various languages commonly spoken in the US, and translates a soft barrier into safe shelter through words and pronouncement of our civil rights.

December Public Reception: December 16 @ 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

The fitness of public places is the focus of a new group exhibition, Health Club, on
view at Hyde Park Art Center’s Gallery 1, December 9, 2018 until March 3, 2019. The exhibition brings together work by artists examining the impact the built environment has on the human mind and body through everyday sites that blur the boundary between public and private space. A public reception will take place on Sunday, December 16, 3-5 pm, with free parking available at Kenwood High School (corner of S Cornell Drive and Lake Park Boulevard). Health Club features artwork by Nelly Agassi, Yane Calovski & Hristina Ivanoska, Ballas & Wax, FieldWork, Charo Garaigorta, Faheem Majeed, Kevin Miyaki, and Bridget O’Gorman.

These artists observe the interdependence of human wellness on constructed notions of place by focusing on sites of civic and leisure activities. This contemplation does not focus on obvious venues such as gyms or spas, but locations including museums, hospitals, airports, and other public places, by which the artists can examine how society’s built environments can foster—or deteriorate—health, both mental and physical. 

Hospitals and parks facilitate health in the most direct manner on the body, however artists Nelly Agassi and Andrew Schnachman of Fieldwork create work that complicates common assumptions of these places of recovery and suggests greater potential as a site for community and imagination. Museums and cultural centers addressed in the work of Yane Calovski & Hristina Ivanoska, Faheem Majeed, and Bridget O’Gorman point out the aspirations and paradoxes in these mission driven places to promote public learning and engagement with their collections, while also mandating strict care and distance of the public from their historical objects as proxy of the body. Finally, artists Ballas & Wax, Kevin J.

Gallery 5

The Art Center celebrates its 80th Anniversary by inviting our current community of class-taking artists, and faculty to reflect on the history of Hyde Park’s shifting categorization. Hyde Park began as a rural township, but by the 1893 World’s Columbian Exhibition was officially annexed to the city of Chicago. Located a mere seven miles south of the city center, Hyde Park maintains a small town vibe that can feel worlds away from the bustle of Chicago’s downtown. Curated by Curatorial Fellow, Audrey Moyer, the exhibition features painting, drawing, sculpture and print work that consider the qualities of urban, suburban, and the porous boundary between.

Featured Artists:

Ashley K. Alvarado, Sheri Barrette, Dawn Brennan, Ava Carney, Shelia Clay, Wendy Easton, Anne Feiza, Amber Ginsburg, Jennefer Hoffman, Aaron Hughes, Malika Jackson, Lisa Jenschke, Marie Jiang, Tulika Ladsariya, Haerim Lee, Dawn Liddicoatt, SaraNoa Mark, Randall Miller, Yoshiko Miyakoshi, Sarah Nishiura, Amisha Patel, Mary Porterfield, Andrea Slaughter, Richard Sessions, Andrea Slaughter, Lena Vieira , Gabriel Villa, Elizabeth Wojcik, Julian E. Williams Jr. , Gwendolyn Zabicki

In Kanter McCormick Gallery

Anemic Compass introduces a new body of work in which Steve Reber considers the high-performance vehicle as a multi-layered point of departure for examining American culture. The exhibition will feature the large sculpture Auto Mending; a full-scale model of an automobile that is stripped down and modified. The girth of the vehicle is absent, while the open structure of the work carries the footprint of factory standardization. The sculpture’s dimensions and cast tires give the viewer clues as to its origins, yet Reber deviates and injects elements such as printed fabric, window screening, and denim, which weaves domestic concepts.

In this work, youth, optimism and vulnerability are examined through the lens of family and personal histories. In his wall works Reber appropriates Muscle car images from calendar pin-ups and attaches sculptural elements onto the image. Reminiscent of mechanical parts, architectural forms or diagrams, these abstract additions modify the automobile’s relationship to desire, appearance, and autonomy. Reber’s free-standing sculptures incorporate a bricolage of familiar shapes where a functional potential or use is suggested. Cast and fabricated forms share a machine-like quality and allude to a location and ideology of a former era. These works also examine the American identity of production, progress, and innovation. As Reber explains, “the title ‘Anemic Compass’ implies a break in navigation, getting lost, and using the vaguely familiar for guidance.”

Steve Reber was selected to participate in the 2019 exhibition program through the Art Center’s submission process. Submissions are periodically reviewed by the Exhibitions Committee, which consists of artists, curators, critics, and Art Center staff. The Art Center welcomes submissions of artists’ work and curatorial proposals for group exhibitions on a rolling basis through our website.

Public Programs at the Hyde Park Art Center marks its official launch this spring equinox with Beginning to See the Light: an exploration into the experiences and obsessions that generate collective joy & happiness.

Written in 1977 for the Village Voice, Ellen Willis’s essay of the same name explores the ever shifting politics of freedom and the fight for equality through the lens of the radical shift felt during the 60’s rock and roll revolution, into the tumbling onslaught of rage centered punk, all while questioning how exclusionary these movements have been to those outside the cultural standard (i.e. cis, white, het, able-bodied) without uplifting alternative forms or voices.

Grounded in the essence of rock and roll, Beginning to See the Light is a jam session we all play within. Music has always been essential to revolution and remains a wealthspring of inspiration and hope but also a space for venting, a call to attention and a platform, that can be utilized to press for change. Or as our current day Willis, critic Jessica Hopper wrote in 2002, “Because there is a void in my guts which can only be filled by songs.”

The everyday can seem impossible, and Light seeks to make it hopeful through rotating pop up exhibitions, interactive activities, tender dialogues, and community gatherings for music, poetry, honesty, empathy and time spent presently together. Searching to foil the energy present in our current lived environment, we ask our visitors to prioritize their own joy in this moment.

This project is curious if there are new ways we want to understand the world and feel connected to each other, when we have exhausted other forms of social or online engagement. What are ways we can create happiness, and shared collective joy by taking time to reflect on where we have been, where we are, and where we would like to go? How can we learn to not just listen, but hear and understand? How can we manifest the change we long for in small, collective action? How to balance survival of the self and survival of the planet?

Or as Willis directs us: “I just thought that the question they ought to ask was not “How can I make them like me?” but “How can I make them hear me?”

Organized by Public Programs Manager, Ariel Gentalen

Gallery 1 & Jackman Goldwasser Catwalk Gallery

Dark Matter: Celestial Objects as Messengers of Love in These Troubled Times is a solo exhibition by artist and designer, Folayemi (Fo) Wilson that reconsiders the power of objects to create a dynamic atmosphere for reflection, meditation and healing. 

Wilson embellishes slip-cast objects with various materials and incorporates video and audio to create a celestial AfroFuturist landscape. Soundscapes and cosmic orbs, landing via a shotgun house-like structure that appears to come from another realm, embody the artist’s desire “…to infuse love and restore dignity to a culture that is troubled with unfortunate manifestations of fear, hate, greed, shame, and a disregard for others.”

This exhibition of new work combines elements of architecture and integrates visual art, objects, sound, and video. As in some of the artist’s previous work (Eliza’s Peculiar Cabinet of Curiosities, 2016), the house is a powerful symbol and continues Wilson’s interest in Southern vernacular architecture. In this case, the shotgun house with its origins in West Africa and economy in layout and design becomes a form that appears as if it landed from outer space incorporating elements that suggest a futuristic, transplanetary Middle Passage and migration through deep space. Original soundscapes placed throughout the gallery are conceived to sound like communications from another world with uncanny references to early jazz recordings, religious chants, political manifestos, and other audial ephemera from classic moments in human liberation.

Orbs will hang from the ceiling, lie on the floor and be interspersed in the installation with found objects that contain video of NASA journeys into space, around the moon and documenting the sun. These embellished cosmic orbs may look like stars, small planets and moons, but carry the conceptual theme of love and deliverance to a world in transition that is coping with divergent ideas around a common humanity. Local communities of healing that chant, meditate, pray, embody sacred movement or sing sacred music, are invited to activate the gallery space and give audiences an opportunity to engage with the exhibition’s theme of positive energy and healing.  

Noted poet and visual artist Krista Franklin will present a long form poem in response to the work and celebrated Chicago jazz musician Ben LaMar Gay will accompany her in the gallery on Thursday, July 11th, 6 pm. This event is free and open to the public. The exhibition catalog will take the form of a special release LP record featuring these contributions as well as written text by the artist and other contributors.

3-5 PM: EXHIBITION RECEPTIONS Dark Matter: Celestial Objects as Messengers of Love in These Trouble Times March 31 – July 14, 2019 Dark Matter: Celestial Objects as Messengers of Love in These Troubled Times is a solo exhibition by artist, designer, and current Jackman Goldwasser Resident Folayemi (Fo) Wilson that reconsiders the power of objects to create a dynamic atmosphere for reflection, meditation and healing. Wilson embellishes slip-cast objects with various materials and incorporates video and audio to create a celestial AfroFuturist landscape. Soundscapes and cosmic orbs, landing via a shotgun house-like structure that appears to come from another realm, embody the artist’s desire “…to infuse love and restore dignity to a culture that is troubled with unfortunate manifestations of fear, hate, greed, shame, and a disregard for others.”

Beginning to See the Light March 17 – July 27 Gallery 2 and Cleve Carney Gallery Public Programs at the Hyde Park Art Center marks its official launch this spring equinox with Beginning to See the Light: an exploration into the experiences and obsessions that generate collective joy & happiness. Written in 1977 for the Village Voice, Ellen Willis’s essay of the same name explores the ever shifting politics of freedom and the fight for equality through the lens of the radical shift felt during the 60’s rock and roll revolution, into the tumbling onslaught of rage centered punk, all while questioning how exclusionary these movements have been to those outside the cultural standard (i.e. cis, white, het, able-bodied) without uplifting alternative forms or voices. The everyday can seem impossible, and Light seeks to make it hopeful through rotating pop up exhibitions, interactive activities, tender dialogues, and community gatherings for music, poetry, honesty, empathy and time spent presently together. Searching to foil the energy present in our current lived environment, we ask our visitors to prioritize their own joy in this moment.Grounded in the essence of rock and roll, Beginning to See the Light is a jam session we all play within. This project is curious if there are new ways we want to understand the world and feel connected to each other, when we have exhausted other forms of social or online engagement. What are ways we can create happiness, and shared collective joy by taking time to reflect on where we have been, where we are, and where we would like to go? How can we learn to not just listen, but hear and understand? How can we manifest the change we long for in small, collective action? How to balance survival of the self and survival of the planet? Or as Willis directs us: “I just thought that the question they ought to ask was not “How can I make them like me?” but “How can I make them hear me?”

(SUB)URBAN March 3 – April 7, 2019 Gallery 5 The Art Center celebrates its 80th Anniversary by inviting our current community of class-taking artists, and faculty to reflect on the history of Hyde Park’s shifting categorization. Hyde Park began as a rural township, but by the 1893 World’s Columbian Exhibition was officially annexed to the city of Chicago. Located a mere seven miles south of the city center, Hyde Park maintains a small town vibe that can feel worlds away from the bustle of Chicago’s downtown. Curated by Curatorial Fellow, Audrey Moyer, the exhibition features painting, drawing, sculpture and print work that consider the qualities of urban, suburban, and the porous boundary between.

Steve Reber: Anemic Compass March 10 . – June 16, 2019 Kanter McCormick Gallery Anemic Compass introduces a new body of work in which Steve Reber considers the high-performance vehicle as a multi-layered point of departure for examining American culture.In this work, youth, optimism and vulnerability are examined through the lens of family and personal histories. Reber’s free-standing sculptures incorporate a bricolage of familiar shapes where a functional potential or use is suggested. Cast and fabricated forms share a machine-like quality and allude to a location and ideology of a former era. These works also examine the American identity of production, progress, and innovation. As Reber explains, “the title ‘Anemic Compass’ implies a break in navigation, getting lost, and using the vaguely familiar for guidance.”

As part of a Spring research residency and collaboration at Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago-based artist Susan Giles and Manchester-based artist Sally Morfill will respond to their shared interest in the visual language of co-speech hand gestures, and make new work that has conversational dialogue at its heart – both as subject and method. Their aim is to make visible the fleeting gestures visitors make when asked to describe their experiences of moving through the Art Center building or their recollections of present and past exhibitions. Using motion-capture technology to record these movements; a selection of visual representations of these captured gestures will be presented in Gallery 5 through possible wall drawings or 3D printed objects that make visual the material traces of the meetings and conversations that took place.

Found Gestures will travel to Five Years Gallery in London in June 2019.

Free event

This series will explore how individuals grapple with participating in sub-cultures that are built upon the rejection or lack of acceptance of their identity, but actively making change within in. Conversations around how we emerge from cancel culture, into growth culture as we continue to build and define what art does in our present moment and foreseeable future.

1 – 2PM: Spin Hour with Patient Sounds

2 – 3PM: Dialogue with Marcela Torres and Jesse Meredith 

Torres and Meredith will explore their intersecting music obsessions via a youtube k hole to dialogue around how often communities of color gravitate towards white, “alternative” music culture. Patient Sounds will be playing live vinyl prior to the dialogue.

Come hang, talk your shoes off and enjoy the company of others united around tunes.

New paintings, drawings, photography, prints, and multimedia works demonstrate the intense study by young adult artists participating in Hyde Park Art Center’s Teen programs. Under the guidance of professional artists, nearly twenty teens developed their creative voices over the course of 15 weeks. These young artists chose to address the challenges in articulating perplexed thoughts, feelings, and emotions into individual works of art.

Complex topics such as gentrification, justice, healing, and meditation were discussed during the course of the teen programs. These issues were identified by young artists as having lasting impacts on their lives and motivated much of the work presented. Other works address more intimate, personal struggles such as self-representation, and emotional turmoil. Artworks included convey themes that students have been grappling with, some of which have been resolved and some which have not. The phrase “it be like that sometimes” has existed as a slang expression about the various trials of the human experience, and embraced by teens as they deal with the unknown.

Teen Programs are run by the Art Center’s Teen Programs Manager, Alex Herrera. The exhibition is curated with the assistance of Julia Koreman, 2018-2019 Exhibitions Assistant. Artist mentors include Jackie Moore, Tony Smith, Jasmine Barber, Rhonda Wheatley, Justin Nalley, and Cecil McDonald.

Cleve Carney Gallery

Frances Whitehead and Jim Elniski bring the methods, mindsets, and strategies of contemporary art practice to the process of shaping the future city. Questions of sustainability, culture change, and participation motivate their work as they consider their surrounding community of Gary (Indiana), the landscape, and the interdependence of multiple ecologies in the post-industrial city. At the Art Center, the artists present The Gary Projects; two ongoing, interrelated urban agriculture engagements, which illustrate in tangible measures that social justice and environmental justice are deeply linked.

Modest Modernism models an edible landscape in the “suburban wild” producing an “inventory” of 300 jars of canned produce, grown at the residential garden of Whitehead and Elniski over the course of 4-5 years. Their private research has led to a large-scale public fruit growing initiative, Fruit Futures Initiative Gary (FFIG), and The Community Lab Orchard, a demonstration orchard in the Emerson neighborhood of downtown Gary. This installation of canned produce, video, and graphic documentation challenges us to expand our assumptions and activities around land use and the ethics and aesthetics of civic space.

Kanter McCormick Gallery

The Tokyo Show: Black & Brown Are Beautiful explores cross-cultural solidarity across communities that are often kept apart by geographic or political distance. The exhibition features artwork by Carris Adams, Brandon Breaux, Cog•nate Collective, Alex Bradley Cohen, Jose Resendiz, and Diana Quinones Rivera, and is on view at Hyde Park Art Center in the Kanter McCormick Gallery from June 30 until September 29.

The Tokyo Show advocates for redirected routes of dialogues across global space—through the leadership of artists, and as a way to reconsider complex identities. In addition to the selection of artwork, the exhibition includes a wider project to circulate ephemera by contemporary Black and Brown artists to special collections libraries globally, as an act of connection, increased mobility, and self definition. Receiving libraries will include collections in Berlin, Lagos, Beijing, and a list that is still growing.  

“Seeking ways to constantly expand one’s space both literally and figuratively is a necessary challenge, but one that can be mastered and a way for people of color to thrive,” says Chicago-based curator Asha Iman Veal. “The instrumentality of ‘race’ is an attempt to restrict human fluidity. So what does this mean for humans that understand movement as life?”

“People will live out expected narratives as a way to be unseen,” adds artist Alex Bradley Cohen. In his own statement within the exhibition, Cohen experiments with a new series of drawings alongside striking portraiture. “We know what people look like, we don’t know what people feel like” as individuals, on the inside.

“I want to talk about what it was like living in New Orleans, England, Puerto Rico,” says filmmaker Diana Quiñones Rivera, who contributes an autobiographical work, D on the South Side. “Segregation doesn’t come from today. It’s organized. It’s institutionalized.”

Public programming for The Tokyo Show: Black & Brown Are Beautiful will begin in July, in collaboration with Asian Improv aRts Midwest and Kioto Aoki’s Shikou Kairo: Patterns of Thought (Hairpin Arts Center).

Gallery 5

A public reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2019 from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. 

Artist Ashley M. Freeby, reflects on the traditions of her family as methods for healing. Born to a Black farmer and a Pennsylvania Dutch quilt maker, Freeby reflects on the crafts her family members mastered. A family divided by race, Freeby uses language, constructs fabric works, and a series of schematic drawings to collaborate with members of her family and join them in one collective space. This new body of work challenges Freeby to connect with family members living or deceased to develop and learn the crafts they left behind.

Freeby anchors her interdisciplinary, labor intensive practice in a curiosity for truth telling. She is inspired by unexpected back to Earth monuments and often contemplates how we keep the dead out of the realm of the living. Thinking about the world below the surface her work uses minimalist aesthetics with poetic language to investigate site. She recently has been exploring how aerial views can be used as a form to spark memory. Exploring the layers of Earth from the surface down or from above she is establishing methods to reconnect the dead with the living. 

About the Artist: 

Ashley Freeby (b. 1986) is a multidisciplinary artist born in rural Pennsylvania but currently lives and works in Chicago, IL. She earned a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BA from Bucknell University.

Kanter McCormick Gallery

Extended Self: Transformations and Connections features artwork by a diverse group of artists at various stages of art-making and parenting. All works included in the show reveal the physical engagement of the body of the artist as a mother – in metaphor, form, process, image, data or motion. This is a unifying yet divergent premise, allowing for a diversity of work and of artists. Work in the show is grouped in intimate “conversations,” illuminating the importance of having other artist mother role models, and of building a community to support each other through the challenges of parenting and maintaining a creative practice.  

In the center of the exhibition space is the Resource Library and Reading Room – an interactive place for parents and children to gather and connect with each other. This visible, accessible and nurturing space allows families to play, rest, feed, and explore mother artist-made books and zines. Also represented here are artist-run initiatives from all over the world that have sprung up to meet the social, professional and practical needs of artist mothers. This Reading Room will serve as a meeting place for various family-friendly programming throughout the exhibition, emphasizing the need for social support structures and role models in the life of an artist mother. 

Through the exhibition, Resource Library and Reading Room, and family-friendly programming, “Extended Self: Transformations and Connections” highlights the importance of representation and visibility of artists who mothers in the art world, and to view their experiences as vital to meaningful art production.

Gallery 5

A public reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2019 from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. 

Artist Ashley M. Freeby, reflects on the traditions of her family as methods for healing. Born to a Black farmer and a Pennsylvania Dutch quilt maker, Freeby reflects on the crafts her family members mastered. A family divided by race, Freeby uses language, constructs fabric works, and a series of schematic drawings to collaborate with members of her family and join them in one collective space. This new body of work challenges Freeby to connect with family members living or deceased to develop and learn the crafts they left behind.

Freeby anchors her interdisciplinary, labor intensive practice in a curiosity for truth telling. She is inspired by unexpected back to Earth monuments and often contemplates how we keep the dead out of the realm of the living. Thinking about the world below the surface her work uses minimalist aesthetics with poetic language to investigate site. She recently has been exploring how aerial views can be used as a form to spark memory. Exploring the layers of Earth from the surface down or from above she is establishing methods to reconnect the dead with the living.

Ongoing

A vending machine mysteriously conceals the main entrance to the Hyde Park Art Center’s School and Studio. The repurposed vending machine was fitted into an existing doorway in 2010. Inquisitive visitors to the School and Studios will be surprised when they pass through an innocuous utility door only to emerge from inside the non-functional vending machine. Central to Patrick Killoran‘s strategy is the artwork that pretends to be something it is not, often times transitioning the viewer from unwitting observer to analyst.

The title of the work, Immergence or “to disappear into” points to how vending machines have been assimilated into our everyday reality. Located at the physical threshold between art gallery and artists’ studios, interacting withImmergence becomes a non-negotiable experience for visitors wanting to travel from one space to the other. The position of the machine satirizes the supposed freedom to disregard corporate imagery, and underscores our constant bombardment with opportunities for consumption. Immergence provides the participant with another such opportunity.

Immergence was first presented at Las Cienegas Projects in Los Angeles in 2009 before receiving it’s temporary home at Hyde Park Art Center.

Guest Jurors: Peter Mars & Ciro Quintana

American Popular Culture has EXPLODED since the good old days of Rauschenberg, Warhol, and Lichtenstein.  In those days there were maybe 5 television stations, 5 national magazines, your daily newspaper, and zero internet.  While these early works in Pop-Art remain relevant, they do not even scratch the surface of today's massive barrage coming. What used to be American culture, now sits like a behemoth amongst the even larger global popular culture, and this is the dialogue you will see in the exhibit called Pop2.0

So this exhibition is about what has happened in pop art AFTER the 1960s. and what is currently happening in pop art today, in 2019.  

One of my favorite things about Pop Art is that it is easy to understand. Even small children \"get it\".  Or at least get most of it.  I worked in old print shops to learn the technical parts.  It took me many many years to learn all the fine points of this old-world craft.  I worked hard at it because i believe good art should look easy, fresh, or effortless. The way a violinist will draw the bow across the instrument and easily make the music flow out.  I feel art actually SHOULD look like a child could do it. But of course we know that the master violinist who makes all that music look so effortless, is clearly someone who has studied the instrument for decades.  We forget about the years where all that early student could conjure from the violin was a bunch of confounded horrendous squawking.

So, once you get to the place where there is music without the squawk, there becomes visible an amazing art without the struggle, then you have something truly special.  And that simply takes years of practice.  Looking back at my own 40 years of learning the art of silk-screen i really appreciate the art i get when i am feeling most fearless and effortless.

My art is all made by hand, there are no machines, no presses. The art of Silkscreen is simply pushing ink through a stretched piece of silk fabric.  Each time ink is pulled across a different silk screen, a new layer, new design, and new color is added to the canvas.  I also paint and draw on the canvases.

I'm interested by our American popular culture, and that culture reveals itself best in our packaging, our branding, our Donkey-Kong/Wonder Woman/Movie Stars/Mr. T/ Six Million Dollar Man strip mall America. So I might find inspiration in an old box of crackers,  empty match packs, or on old potato chip bag.  And i watch for what most people would possibly consider trash or the detritus of our society, and i use those elements to discuss the larger stories that result from the endless diet of advertising and questionable \"news\" that we get fed every day.  I like to make playful works that laugh about popular culture, while many times revealing its danger and its thin veneer..

Gala co-chairs Denise & Gary Gardner, Kate Groninger & Molly Meyer, and Julie & John Guida invite guests to an evening packed with food, music, dancing, and lots and lots of art. In addition, the evening will offer a series of interactive arts experiences for Gala and After Party guests.
 

Executive Director Kate Lorenz says, “Hyde Park Art Center is humbled to be celebrating 80 years of supporting Chicago art. For the past 80 years, artists have led movements and established their careers by exhibiting work at the Art Center while also learning new skills in our school and studios. Today, artists of all ages are pushing boundaries, developing creative identities, and supporting their communities. This milestone is a celebration of our history, a call to action for the future to continue and build on this work. Happy birthday, Hyde Park Art Center!”

This year, the Art Center will celebrate a select Honorary Artist Committee and reflect on the positive impact Hyde Park Art Center has had on artists at all stages. 

The evening will begin with a cocktail hour to be followed with the dinner program. After dinner, additional guests will arrive for the After Party. Both the cocktail hour and after party will feature interactive artist interventions by artists Hannah Barco, Cecilia Iwata, Kara Cobb Johnson, Liz McCarthy, Sadie Woods, and more. Follow Barco’s footsteps around the building to encounter surprises; search for McCarthy’s ceramic whistles hidden throughout the building; play with play-dough with Cobb Johnson or music boxes with Woods. 

The After Party experience also includes music, dancing, an open bar, late-night bites, and more fun to be announced. Individuals may purchase tickets or tables online here starting at $800, with sponsorship levels up to $40,000. Tickets to the After Party start at just $60 (early bird rate through November 4).

Created by Hyde Park Art Center, Not Just Another Pretty Face allows the Art Center to play matchmaker for artists and potential art buyers, facilitating a fun, accessible commissioning process that builds lasting relationships between artists and patrons, creates a new base of support for artists, and invests in the vitality of Chicago’s cultural community. 2019-20 marks the seventh installment of this dynamic program.

The program takes place every three years and is meant to involve a broad range of patrons and artists, with commissions ranging from in the hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. To date, the Art Center has raised over $700,000—half of which goes directly into the hands of artists, with the other half going to support Art Center programs. All of this results in an exhibition of the original works of art, a catalog documenting the process, and a lively event to unveil the finished pieces, which will make their way to the patrons’ homes following the exhibition. Not Just Another Pretty Face has been replicated in five cities.

Stories of unique collaborations between artist-patron pairs united through Not Just Another Pretty Face abound. One example is emerging artist of color Tony Lewis being commissioned by prolific collector Deone Jackman—known for her keen eye and ability to spot rising talent—who first noticed Lewis’ work when it was featured in the Art Center’s 2012 Ground Floor exhibition, a biennial group show highlighting some of the most promising young Chicago artists recently graduated from the city’s MFA programs. Other intriguing pairs include the commissioning of artist Conrad Freiburg, formerly a Resident Artist at the Art Center, by composer Lisa Kaplan, who was interested in a custom work of art being designed around her music; and the commissioning of emerging artist of color Kenrick McFarlane by Amanda Williams, herself an artist of color who has been commissioned through Not Just Another Pretty Face in the past, and who this summer matriculated through The Center Program, the Art Center’s artist professional development program.

Meanwhile, these emerging and mid-career artists are shown in an exhibition and included in a catalogue alongside the likes of artists Jessica Stockholder, Tony Tasset, and Terry Evans, and get their work in front of collectors and gallerists at the level of patrons like Deone Jackman, Richard Wright and Valerie Carberry, and Janis Kanter and Thomas McKormick. This kind of exposure represents a tremendous value for these artists beyond just the financial boon of money in their pocket through a commission facilitated by the project. In this way, Not Just Another Pretty Face enables Hyde Park Art Center to activate local collectors to invest in their city’s artists directly; encourage a new and diverse group of people to think of themselves as supporters and patrons of contemporary art; and build lasting relationships between artists and patrons, creating a new base of patronage for artists and investing in the vitality of Chicago’s cultural community.

EXPANDED FIELDS, is an exhibition of works from participants in New Edition, a pilot program developed by the Art Center for artists to learn and make work in a medium with which they have had little to no previous experience. The exhibition will take place in Gallery 5, from December 13, 2019 – February 23, 2020. New Edition Program Facilitator Claudine Isé curates the exhibition, which features the work of 10 artists, each of whom presents one piece in the medium for which they are known alongside a new artwork made during the 10-week program. 

New Edition, the latest professional pathways program developed by the Center, is conceived as a way for artists to thoughtfully experiment in another medium that they have never before seriously attempted. Participants—who are all Hyde Park Art Center alumni of either The Bridge Program, The Center Program, or Ground Floor—enroll in Art Center courses such as screenprinting, monotype printing or ceramics, or work instead at the FabLab at UChicago’s Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which offers a range of 3-D printing resources and workshops. 

Throughout the 10-week program, “artists learn new skills in their separate classes, and then they all come together in weekly discussions to share experiences, show works in progress, get feedback and generally think through how their new work fits into their established history—all within a supportive and collaborative group setting,” Isé explains.

“What makes New Edition unique is that it is geared explicitly towards experimentation, risk-taking and change within an artist’s practice. By providing the instruction and tools with which to learn an entirely new skillset, New Edition fosters the sorts of expansive creative leaps that help foster longevity in an artist’s career.”

Mythology buffs, lovers, and all casual explorers of the art center will enjoy this site-specific, temporary wall painting by Kay Rosen. Rosen is well-known for her conceptually-charged text work that most often deals with the mechanics of language. Located along the building’s clandestine south stairwell, Don’t Look Back is one of her more playful works and activates the complex transitional space by recalling a tragic love story from greek myth.

Hyde Park Art Center has launched a special edition of Not Just Another Pretty Face to support artists and the Art Center during the COVID-19 crisis. 

Learn more here.

Taking place every three years, Not Just Another Pretty Face is a collaborative commissioning project created by Hyde Park Art Center. The Art Center arranges commissions between patrons and artists who create engaging personal works of art (from the traditional to the very untraditional).

The project has been a successful way for the Art Center to cultivate a very important part of the “ecosystem” that artists need in order to thrive – collectors – by embracing, and encouraging, the idea of patronage in contemporary art. We believe that artists need not only consumers (i.e., collectors) of their work, but also need a community of people who know and support them and value what they do.

To date, the Art Center has raised over $900,000—half of which goes directly into the hands of artists, with the other half going to support Art Center programs. Through Not Just Another Pretty Face, 375+ original works of art have been commissioned by 275 new and established collectors interested in investing in Chicago’s artists.

This program  results in an exhibition of the original works of art, a catalog documenting the process, and a lively event to unveil the finished pieces, which will make their way to the patrons’ homes following the exhibition. Not Just Another Pretty Face has been replicated in four cities: Boise, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and Salt Lake.

Since its inception in the mid-1990s, Not Just Another Pretty Face has maintained its pursuit of three primary goals:

 Join teaching artist, Rodrigo Lara for a workshop where participants will explore drawing portraits from memory of a favorite person, place or thing you miss during these quarantined times.

In his work, Rodrigo creates memorials—fragmented and complex realities that formally break from their traditional constructions, and instead present assemblaged versions of themselves, which address our collective social and political thoughts, concerns, and hopes.

Virtual Center Sunday October

October 4 @ 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Join us for our next Virtual Center Sunday on October 4th @ 1-5 pm! This month our theme is global connections! Join us as we traverse geography and connect with artists in Chicago and across the globe for conversations and performances. Our Center Sundays are a family-friendly filled day of art-making activities, workshops, and artist talks virtually from the comfort of your own home!

Anti-racist Art Practice at Home and Abroad 
Please join us for an intimate conversation among six artists working in Chicago and Malaysia about how they are developing an anti-racist art practice. Through performance, theater, poetry, installation, sculpture and beyond, these artists are responding to the particular climate and context for artmaking in their localities. How do notions of anti-racism converge or diverge based on the different histories of these places? What are the most urgent strategies working for these artists today? This event has been organized by recent visiting artist Veshalini Naidu as a follow up to her residency exploring these questions. Malaysian artists featured include Dhinesha Karthigesu, and Thavarupani Subramaniam. Chicago Artists include Jacquelyn Carmen Guerrero, Nikki Patin, and Jenn (Po’Chop) Freeman. Generously supported by Asian Cultural Council.

VideoKaffe “The Space Between Us”

Join us for a live virtual collaboration between SIGN Gallery in Groningen, Netherlands and The Hyde Park Art Center. Through a technique we they call “VK Screen Breach,” a live dancer/performer in Groningen and a Chicago performer will be able to collaborate and perform together virtually. This performance will make a commentary on the world’s present state of isolation and connectivity through the cyberspace, asking questions about the context of the virtual and the tangible through exploring virtual contact experimentation. Featured performers include: Manuel Paolini (Groningen) and Courtney Mackedanz (Chicago). Music by: Kayleigh Beard (Groningen) 

Exploring Global Opportunities through the Arts

Join the founder of Chicago based art-library-project space Chuquimarca and Jose Luis Benavides of Sin Cinta Previa: Latinx & Queer Archive Video Series in conversation about exploring global opportunities through the arts. They will discuss their current projects, how to utilize open calls for global opportunities, how to grow an international community through informal means (couch surfing), and how they have handled the global-zoom-art outbreak through their projects.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, will host its latest Center Sunday, an all-ages program filled with art-making activities, workshops, and artist talks, held on the first Sunday of each month, November 1, from 1-4 p.m. virtually, via Zoom. This month’s program will feature three hour-long segments led by artists Delilah D. Salgado, Lillianna Chavarria, Kristin Cass and Cindy Lys. The event is free and open to the public virtually via Zoom link us02web.zoom.us/j/89622017693. No pre-registration required. For more information, visit www.hydeparkart.org.

Center Sundays are curated by Ciera McKissick, Hyde Park Art Center Public Programs Coordinator, as a means of introducing the community to the myriad ongoing offerings at the Hyde Park Art Center for all ages, interests and skill levels; the November Center Sunday programming includes:

 

Art-making: Create a Day of the Dead Ofrenda “Dedicated to Chicago”

1pm via Zoom

Join Hyde Park Art Center Resident Artist Delilah D. Salgado of Mujeres Mutantes and guest artist and activist Lillianna Chavarria to create a Dia De Los Muertos/Day of the Dead ofrenda (Spanish for ‘offering,’ a home altar or ritual display honoring an individual who has died) “Dedicated to Chicago” that will be showcased during this Zoom session. They will discuss Dia de Los Muertos and the meaning behind their altar currently on display at the Center’s current Artists Run Chicago 2.0 exhibition, and demonstrate how to create tissue paper cempasuchil (Mexican marigold flowers, referred to as the “flower of the dead” in Mexican culture and said to guide the spirits back to the altars of family members). “We honor our ancestors and tell the stories of those who came before us and those who we have been fortunate enough to know,” said Salgado.

Multidisciplinary artist Delilah D. Salgado is an “artivist” who co-founded We Are Hip Hop, an annual youth-led festival in Pilsen that helps cultivate young voices to create peace and unity. She is a mother and the co-founder of Mujeres Mutantes, an all-women art collective. She currently lives in McKinley Park with her husband and three children and is creating a body of work based on the Graffiti and Goddess archetypes found in Indigenous Mythology, Jungian theories, and the mythology and religion literature of Joseph Campbell. 

 

Lillianna Chavarria is a Pilsen-raised, South Side-based organizer, educator, and artist. Her work focuses on gentrification and prison abolition. Her work aims to heal and make space for wounds to breathe while continuing the fight for collective liberation.

 

Artist Talk: “Marks On Our Bodies/Things That Constrain Us”

2pm via Zoom 

Join Hyde Park Art Center Bridge Program Artist, Kristin Cass, for an artist talk about her photography project in progress, “Toxic Femininity,” and her artistic practice which explores standards of beauty, aspects of socially enforced gender roles, and how society frequently controls women through their bodies and physical appearances. Choosing to wear clothes or use products that constrict female bodies literally leaves marks, often red and sore. These marks are also reminders of the lost time, energy and money women put into conforming beauty regimens, as consumerism and capitalism unite to diminish their resources.

 

Kristin Cass is a Chicago-based artist working in photography, video, writing, sculpture and other media. Her art explores the intensely personal spaces where one’s life intersects with those of others, considering underlying questions of social justice and human rights. As an artist of mixed ethnicity and descendent of genocide survivors, Cass’s work reflects her passion for amplifying diverse voices telling stories that inspire change. She is especially interested in the role that women play in the survival and evolution of cultures and communities. In addition to her arts education, her career as a lawyer gives her a unique perspective on the injustices that people and communities face every day. Cass is a graduate of the University of Chicago.  

 

Workshop: 8minutes46seconds Series with Cindy Lys

3pm via Zoom

Join Hyde Park Art Center Bridge Program Artist, Cindy Lys, in a timed mark-making activity and discussion of the embodied experience of her project, 8minutes46seconds Series, a mark-making project exploring the progression of time in response to the murder of George Floyd. Each piece in the series is an exercise in timed continuous mark-making on paper, an attempt to process the length of time that a white officer knelt on the neck of George Floyd. Participants will need a paper bag or piece of paper, and a marker or writing utensil.

A clinical social worker, Cindy Lys is a Haitian-American emerging visual artist working on the south side of Chicago.

About Center Sundays

Every first Sunday of the month and pre-COVID 19, Hyde Park Art Center was activated throughout the center for the public, neighbors, and families, with intergenerational art making activities, artist workshops, artist talks, open studios, curatorial tours of its exhibitions, community collaborations, music and small bites. Since the pandemic lockdown, Center Sundays have switched online, continuing with virtual interaction, engagement, and exchange with the public audience on the same day of each month. Center Sundays are free and open for all.

The exhibition of predominantly lens-based work presents a collection of the artist’s most recent body of work birthed from his 2018 residency at the Art Center, which embodies photomontages to metaphorize the complicated histories between America and African Americans, and subvert the racist representation of Black artists from history. 

Through his art practice, McDonald explores the intersections of masculinity, kinship, and the artistic and intellectual pursuits of Black Americans, using photography, video, and text. Cuts and Beats, particularly, draws attention to the controlled conditions under which Black artists performed and built careers during the Vaudeville and Minstrel era. Using photomontage technique, McDonald combined manipulated historical images of Black artists publicized by the entertainment industry—vintage sheet music covers, theater advertisements, and artist publicity photographs—with contemporary photographs taken by the artist himself in dance clubs around Chicago. By blending generations, locations, and authorship, the artist wishes to subvert, not erase, the racist representations of Black musicians popularized in the late 1800s.

The process of cutting, altering, and blurring historical images and presenting them in relation to contemporary photographs, “acts as metaphors and symbols for music, dance, performance, and the complicated histories between America and African Americans,” says McDonald, who considers the new built images to “look back to often racist representations, and much like memory, recede to a current, self-possessed and subversive imagery, each influencing and dictating to the other, serving as a remix of past and present culture.” 

Cuts and Beats incorporates some of the imagery McDonald created for a larger body of work titled The Heat of the Cool, which refers to the idea that calm or coolness is a West African concept in which people mask intensity, stress, or pleasure with serenity, calmness, or spirituality. Driven by his belief in the transformative power of dance, the artist creates parties and dances in which participants (dancers) and collaborators (DJs and photographers) work with the artist to generate large-scale photographs in which the dancing bodies become a symbol for freedom. In these images, as seen in Cuts and Beats, McDonald emphasizes ideas about agency and ownership in one’s time, space, labor, and self.

Ground Floor—so named because it provides a crucial platform for emerging artists and fills the entire lower level of the Art Center—is an ongoing biennial project. Based on nominations by respected members of the art community, the Art Center’s Exhibitions Committee of artists, and curators select work by outstanding recent graduates from each of Chicago’s Masters of Fine Art programs: Columbia College Chicago, Northwestern University, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, The University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. The exhibition brings together work by Chicago’s most promising emerging talent, offering a single destination to see work by diverse artists that deserve to be supported.

Twenty artists have been selected by the Exhibitions Committee to be included in this year’s biennial exhibition, Ground Floor:

Seomy Ahn, Dabin Ahn, Kayla Anderson, Cecilia Beaven, Leticia Bernaus, Stella Brown, Jonathan Castillo, Atefeh Farajolahzadeh, Efrat Hakimi, Joshua Kent, Percy Lam, Jessica Martin, Jordan Putt, Daisy Schultz, Forrest Simmons, Bun Stout, Paige Taul, Tamara Valdez, Terence Wong, Qianwen Yu

Since 2010, Ground Floor has brought together work by Chicago’s most promising emergent talent. The exhibition offers a single destination to discover artists who have recently graduated (in 2019 and 2020) from one of Chicago’s five outstanding MFA programs and whose work demands to be seen and supported. Ground Floor will be on view at Hyde Park Art Center from December 6, 2020 until February 28, 2021.

The 2020 Ground Floor exhibition is the sixth iteration of this biennial exhibition at the Art Center.

Paige Taul Shorts Screening & Artist Q&A

12-1 p.m.

A screening of short films by artist Paige Taul, followed by a Q&A. Taul’s work engages with and challenges assumptions of Black cultural expression and notions of belonging through experimental cinematography. Her work tests the boundaries of identity through autoethnography to approach notions of racial authenticity in veins such as religion, style, language, and other Black community-based experiences. Taul is an MFA graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and will be participating in the Art Center’s upcoming Ground Floor exhibition, an ongoing biennial featuring select work by outstanding recent graduates from each of Chicago’s MFA programs.

 

“Change the Name” Presentation with Village Leadership Academy Youth

1:30-2 p.m.

Last summer, young Black freedom fighters of the “Change the Name” campaign achieved victory after a 3+-year fight to push city officials to rename Douglas Park after abolitionists Anna and Frederick Douglass. Hear from three 8th grade youth organizers from Village Leadership Academy as they share the campaign’s origin, some of their grassroots organizing strategies, and the importance of ensuring that Anna Douglass was included in the renaming campaign.

 

The Mural Renaissance in Chicago

2-3 p.m.

From the 1967 mural The Wall of Respect to the recent BLM murals and boards, artists have always been at the helm of provoking change through painting. This program brings together Black muralists past and present who discuss the parallels between murals and movements in Chicago, featuring artists Dorian Sylvain, Eugene Wade, and Langston Allston in conversation with Juarez Hawkins, the daughter of Florence Hawkins, one of the painters of Wall of Respect.

 

Black Lives Past & Present: Where Do We Intersect?

3-4 p.m.

A dialogue with intergenerational activists about Civil Rights, organizing, and the parallels between movements of the past and the current day. Journalist Brenda Butler, formerly at Chicago Tribune, will moderate the talk between Rev. Janette Wilson (National Director of PUSH Excel at Operation PUSH), Bamani Obadele (Director of Community Engagement at Acclivus Inc.), Trina Reynolds-Taylor (Director of Data at the Invisible Institute), and Jae Rice(Director of Communications at Brave Space Alliance).

Hyde Park Art Center will host its latest Center Sunday, an all-ages program filled with art-making activities, workshops, and artist talks, held on the first Sunday of each month, February 7, from 1-4 p.m. virtually, via Zoom. 

This month’s program will feature a Teen Takeover in support of the Art Center Teen Program’s upcoming exhibition Next Window, Please!, and include four segments of exhibition walkthroughs, artist talks, film screenings, and teen-led interviews, curated by the Art Center’s Youth Board of Artists, a core leadership group of the Teen Program.

Works in Next Window, Please! document the days between March and May of 2020 from the perspective of young Chicago artists. The upcoming exhibitionNext Window, Please! is curated with the assistance of Mariela Acuna, Exhibitions and Residency Coordinator.

About Center Sundays

Every first Sunday of the month and pre-COVID 19, Hyde Park Art Center was activated throughout the center for the public, neighbors, and families, with intergenerational art making activities, artist workshops, artist talks, open studios, curatorial tours of its exhibitions, community collaborations, music and small bites. Since the pandemic lockdown, Center Sundays have switched online, continuing with virtual interaction, engagement, and exchange with the public audience on the same day of each month. Center Sundays are free and open for all.

What Time Is It? debuts a rotating series of large-scale digital portraits of some of Chicago’s most influential cultural community members on the facade of the Hyde Park Art Center. These 50 hand-painted portraits, created by Chicago-based artist and organizer, Irina Zadov, highlight contemporary artists, authors, activists and thinkers working now to radically transform our city.

The digital portrait series represents individuals across the spectrum of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, and age - with a focus on Chicago’s Black, Indigenous, POC, and LGBTQIA+ communities and includes Makazin Alexander, D’onmonique Lovie Boyd, Rachel Caidor, Stefan Caizaguano,  Aymar Jean Christian, Teishetta Daniel, Marcus Davis, Jordan Easen, William Estrada, Krista Franklin, Emmanuel Garcia, Silvia Inez Gonzalez, Tracie D. Hall, Benji Hart, Juarez Hawkins, Tempestt Hazel, Brenda Hernandez, Zeb Hurst, Tonika Johnson, Juniper, Faheem Majeed, Nicole Marroquin, Vivi More, Patricia Nguyen, Zakkiyyah Najeeba Dumas O’Neal, Todd Palmer, Hilesh Patel, Fawn Pochel, Aislinn Pulley, Compton Quashie, Kamilah Rashied, Brant Rosen, Rochele Royster, Natalia Smirnov, David Stovall, Alexis Villagomez, Savannah Wood, Chun-Shan “Sandie” Yi, and avery r. young. For a complete list of these portraits, go to https://www.irinazadov.com/whattimeisit.

The title of the exhibition derives from a quote from American revolutionary and philosopher Grace Lee Boggs (1915-2015) who, along with her husband and civil rights activist, Jimmy Boggs, visualized 3,000 years of human history on a 12-hour clock where each minute represents 50 years. Boggs asked her collaborators and critics alike, “what time is it on the clock of the world?” Extending this metaphor, the couple argued that revolution as the primary driver of social change is only 5 minutes old. Since May 2020, Zadov has used the medium of portrait painting and dialogue to engage artists and organizers around this question, while re-imagining community safety, radical care, housing, displacement, belonging, climate justice, access, and accountability.

The portraits are one part of a larger cultural and civic archive developed by Zadov including podcasts produced by Najee-Zaid Searcy, a publication, and a public art series in collaboration with J Sath and Rivka Yeker of Hooligan Creatives that is installed within neighborhoods where the individuals reside, with an emphasis on the South and West Sides of Chicago.  For more information on this archive titled What Time Is It? visit https://www.irinazadov.com/whattimeisit. 

Irina Zadov (she/they) is/are an artist, educator, and cultural organizer. A queer post-Soviet Jewish refugee, their practice explores the liminal space between the individual and the collective, diasporic community and chosen family, the home and the state. Zadov aims to co-create joyful, healing, and liberatory spaces for youth, people of color, immigrants, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Zadov is a student of adrienne maree brown and Mariame Kaba; their highest intention is to practice emergent strategy and abolition within all aspects of their life. Learn more about their practice atirinazadov.com.

What Time Is It? is supported by the Illinois Arts Council. 

Running concurrently inside the Hyde Park Art Center galleries will be two additional solo exhibitions: Cuts and Beats, by Chicago-based artist and educator Cecil McDonald, Jr., incorporating photomontages to subvert the racist representation of Black artists from history, on view through June 12, and Playmate: Maggie Crowley, a new series of textile work and large figurative paintings in acrylic on silk examining her admiration and personal connection to service, through June 5.

The Metamorphosis of Gabriel Villa introduces Villa’s new direction from painting into installation and clay sculpture created during his Jackman Goldwasser Residency at Hyde Park Art Center, along with previous paintings. Through an extensive studio and public art practice, Villa seeks to seamlessly translate the language of Mexican traditions and the personal, urban American experience into charged intimate narratives. Villa’s subjects are ever evolving but always concentrate on psychological and social inequity in the multifaceted contemporary world. His stream of consciousness approach to painting and drawing expose the heightened reality found in everyday objects and places. \" This exhibition is partially supported by a grant from The Illinois Arts Council.

Push Pull: A Live Performance by The Seldoms

June 10, 6 - 7pm

June 12, 2 - 3pm

Join us on Thursday evening or Saturday afternoon for a live performance of Push Pull by The Seldoms dance company member Damon Green and artist Faheem Majeed. The short performance, choreographed by The Seldoms Artistic Director Carrie Hanson, activates Faheem Majeed’s rubbing of the Southside Community Art Center as part of his Hyde Park Art Center Exhibition, Planting and Maintaining a Perennial Garden: Shrouds.

In Push Pull, Damon Green unfurls, bundles, and carries the full weight of a living historic institution, embodied in Faheem Majeed’s 34 x 42 foot graphite rubbing on muslin of the historic Bronzeville landmark, South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC). Both the live performance and its companion short dance film are inspired by Majeed’s own earlier performance “Piano Push,” which references his tenure as SSCAC’s Director. Green’s formidable presence is on full display in this meditative, patient and determined solo that expresses labor, the acts of lifting up and holding on, histories, and accumulation.This program is held in conjunction with the current exhibition Planting and Maintaining a Perennial Garden: Shrouds by Faheem Majeed.

July 1, 4-5:30pm

We are excited to host a discussion on art and direct democracy with resident artist Aaron Hughes and special guests Damon Locks, Michael Rakowitz, and Marina Sitrin. 

From the 1871 Paris Commune to the current movement for racial justice in the United States there is an inspiring history of experiments in direct democracy within freedom movements. Since these movements emerge out of peoples’ imaginations and subsequent attempts to realize dreams through action, this talk will explore the magic in these brief moments of proposed alternative social relations. Our panelists will consider how these movements and art play a role in transform historic and institutional trauma into collective meaning. 

Resident artist Aaron Hughes will facilitate the discussion on these themes with legendary Chicago artist and musician Damon Locks, renowned international artist Michael Rakowitz, and the coauthor of They Can’t Represent Us Marina Sitrin. The conversation is a part of Hughes’ emerging Autonomous Democracy project. 

 

About the artists:

Aaron Hughes is an artist, curator, organizer, teacher, anti-war activist, and Iraq War veteran living in Chicago. Aaron works collaboratively in diverse spaces and media to create meaning out of personal and collective trauma, deconstruct and transform systems of oppression, and seek liberation. Working through an interdisciplinary practice rooted in drawing and printmaking, Aaron develops projects that deconstruct militarism and related institutions of dehumanization. These projects often utilize popular research strategies, experiment with forms of direct democracy, and operate in solidarity with the people most impacted by structural violence.

Damon Locks is a visual artist, educator, vocalist/musician, and deejay. He attended The School of the Art Institute in Chicago where he received his BFA in Fine Arts. Since 2014 he has been working with Prison + Neighborhood Arts Project (PNAP) teaching art at Stateville Correctional Center. Damon has designed sound for Free Street Theater, dancer and educator Onye Ozuzu’s Project Tool, and dancer Anna Martine Whitehead.

Michael Rakowitz is an artist living and working in Chicago. He is the recipient of the 2020 Nasher Prize; the 2018 Herb Alpert Award in the Arts; a 2012 Tiffany Foundation Award; a 2008 Creative Capital Grant; a Sharjah Biennial Jury Award; a 2006 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship Grant in Architecture and Environmental Structures; the 2003 Dena Foundation Award, and the 2002 Design 21 Grand Prix from UNESCO.

Marina Sitrin is a mother, movement participant and associate professor of sociology at Binghamton University. Her work strives to facilitate the voices of those in movement around the world, working for a more participatory, caring and self-organized world. She is the author of a number of ethnographic books, including, Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina, Everyday Revolutions: Horizontalism and Autonomy in Argentina and the co-author/editor of They Can’t Represent Us!: Reinventing Democracy from Greece to Occupy and Pandemic Solidarity: Mutual Aid in the COVID 19 Crisis.

Environmental racism and its disproportionate impact on communities of color, in rural and urban environments, is the subject of this sub-chapter of Toward Common Cause: Art, Social Change and the MacArthur Fellows at 40. The impacts of environmental racism, exacerbated by infrastructural inequalities including limited access to healthcare, healthcare workers, food, and clean drinking water are realities shared by disinvested and disenfranchised communities across the globe. These realities are highlighted in the work of three artists: Mel Chin, LaToya Ruby Frazier, and Fazal Sheikh.

This exhibition at Hyde Park Art Center is one of many exhibitions in multiple venues organized by the Smart Museum of Art  at the University of Chicago under the umbrella title, Toward Common Cause.  The expansive  exhibition, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of the MacArthur Fellows Program, will encompass a broad spectrum of contemporary artistic practice, including community-based projects realized in public spaces as well as solo and group presentations in multiple museum, gallery, and community spaces. The full list of participating artists is online at the exhibition website,  Toward Common Cause: Art, Social Change and the MacArthur Fellows at 40.

The focus of Mel Chin’s Chicago Fundred Initiative: A Bill for IL is the latest iteration of his decade-long Fundred Project whose focus is lead contamination in water, soil, and housing. Lead exposure is an invisible, environmental health threat to children. The Chicago Fundred Initiative: A Bill for IL invites individuals to create their own “Fundred,” a facsimile of a hundred-dollar bill: a form of creative currency that affirms the right of each maker to equal protection against environmental hazard and demonstrates the value of the lives of children. Please download a fundred template, create your own, and bring it to Hyde Park Art Center to be presented in the exhibition before July 1, 2021.

Latoya Ruby Frazier presents a selection from Flint is Family, a project completed over the course of five months in Flint, Michigan documenting the now infamous Flint water crisis.

Sheikh’s Desert Bloom/Conflict Shoreline. These intertwined works were created in Israel’s Negev Desert where Sheikh documented government efforts to remove the Palestinian Bedouins from the northern threshold of the desert. Unlike other frontiers fought over during the Israel-Palestine conflict, this one is not demarcated by fences and walls but by shifting climatic conditions. The threshold of the desert advances and recedes in response to colonization, cultivation, displacement, urbanization, and, most recently, climate change. In his response to Sheikh’s “Desert Bloom” series (part of Sheikh’s The Erasure Trilogy), Eyal Weizman’s essay incorporates historical aerial photographs, contemporary remote sensing data, state plans, court testimonies, and nineteenth-century travelers’ accounts, exploring the Negev’s threshold as a “shoreline” along which climate change and political conflict are deeply and dangerously entangled.

Our new teen exhibition QUANTUM, features new and in-progress work across media by teens from the Art Center’s after-school virtual programs made during the 2020-2021 academic year.

The exhibition includes work at different points of development as a way to define artistic practice as something that is always evolving. The exhibition’s title, QUANTUM, selected by the Youth Board of Artists, speaks to an energy that is always moving and ever-changing as it interacts with its environment, much like the way teen artists see their practices grow and evolve through dialog with each other and the Art Center’s community.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces a major new sculpture exhibition by Chicago artist Lan Tuazon, Future Fossils: SUM, on view September 7 – November 13, and curated by Allison Peters Quinn, Art Center Director of Exhibition & Residency Programs. The exhibition offers visitors an encounter with a future house that doesn’t yet exist—one constructed solely with recovered materials. It visualizes the sum of a lifespan’s worth of human material traces in the world, nestled together as a one-bedroom house built to scale and exhibited inside the two-story gallery at the Art Center.

As envisioned by the artist, Future Fossils: SUM is a test site for what a house would look like in a “circular economy,” which builds a sustainable society producing  minimal waste vs the current extractive take-make-waste industrial model known as a “linear economy.” Asking the question “how much of the 109 tons of waste produced per person in a lifetime can be reabsorbed into one’s present needs?” Tuazon repurposes and transforms found everyday objects—mass produced containers, common packaged goods, tchotchkes, household items—to give mass to the unseen byproduct of consumption and propose an extended life span of objects. The artist dissects, layers, and presses such objects to present a stratification-like form, mimicking fossils as a visualization of geological time while creating new items from materials with past uses. Visitors are invited to contribute by dropping off plastic goods to be shredded on site, which will then be turned into raw materials for sheet press companies. 

Future Fossils: SUM marks the final installation in Tuazon’s decade-long trilogy, Shift in the Order of Things, in which the artist challenges how an individual is subjected towards an ideological version of the world. Tuazon’s trilogy consists of three themes—economy, culture, and power—with works about the urban plan, cultural history, and human-made geology. Revealing and reinserting what is erased from the existing Western order of the built world, Tuazon’s sculptures function as a tool to propose alternate realities. The first installment, titled Architectures of Defense, was exhibited at Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart, Germany in 2010, interpreting common barrier structures in urban landscape as instruments of racial and class division. The second chapter, a solo exhibition, On the Wrong Side of History at the Brooklyn Museum in 2011, highlighted the separation of world cultures relegated to the past as preserved through museums and academic institutions. These two projects on architecture and artifacts led the artist to the subject of planetary conditions as human activities now have the greatest impact on geological and ecological systems, as presented in this latest installation. Through Future Fossil: SUM, Tuazon aims to decentralize human and existing categories of human knowledge. She states, “The trilogy itself is an onion with strata-like layers that telescope from the scale of a human body at the core to the planetary conditions that contain it and conversely, from the planet to the body, resembling a circular economy.”

“For this exhibition, the Art Center will become a laboratory for radical processes in new material led by artist Lan Tuazon,” according to Allison Peters Quinn. “When Lan was participating in the Jackman Goldwasser Residency here in 2017, she proposed the idea of building a house filled with bisected and recycled containers ranging from hot sauce bottles to shipping containers. I had no idea how impactful her work would be on piloting new materials from recovered plastics. This immersive installation will truly put into perspective the geologic weight of our consumer habits, while literally building inhabitable structures from waste.”

 

Tuazon shares the inspiration and goal for creating her trilogy: “It inspires me to think that reality is an unfinished project. When I look at the built world, I know it exists at the erasure of other possibilities.  You can make up the difference if you're a builder, but the goal is not to rebuild everything, but to create the double that reminds you that possibilities are in the making. My sculptures are meant to be evidence of the very things we deny, and artworks that give visibility to the nature of our condition.”

Notes from VEGA is a solo exhibition by artist A.J. McClenon. The exhibition features work from McClenon’s ongoing VEGA series, imagining an aqueous Black future, parallel universes and an escape route fleeing from anti-Blackness, climate change and the destructive forces of capitalism and systemic racism. When the earth is no longer able to sustain their livelihoods and options are limited, they return to water—the source of life. Viewers are invited to take a glimpse into VEGA through writings, diagrams, collages and videos that begun during McClenon’s 2019 residency at Hyde Park Art Center.

Moments In Between presents new work by interdisciplinary artist Tran Tran made during their year-long Ceramics Apprenticeship at the Art Center in 2020. The body of work in the exhibition exemplifies Tran’s unique approach to ceramics which both informs and is informed by the artist’s ongoing explorations of form across media. Distinct organic forms appear repeatedly in several works in the exhibition, sometimes as artificial-intelligence generated images, drawings, and sculptures. The artist sees the process of iterating as an essential component of their practice that allows them to investigate how forms evolve through repetition. Through the body of work exhibited, Tran invites us to consider, “How do we differentiate what is singular from what is part of a whole? Does the essence of a moment, a place, an object, or a person lie in their physical or spiritual quality, a combination of both, or beyond them entirely?”

The Ceramics Apprenticeship Program at the Hyde Park Art Center provides a unique opportunity for ceramic artists to work in a community-based arts center during the course of a year. The Ceramics Apprentice receives training by the Ceramics Department Head and the Assistant Head of Ceramics in advanced studio skills while developing their work in a supportive environment.

The exhibition is curated by Mariela Acuña, Exhibitions and Residency Coordinator, in collaboration with Tran Tran.

The 82nd Annual Hyde Park Art Center Gala, doubles the fun with two iterations: Virtual and in-person

 

Guests are invited to attend a free virtual program on Tuesday, November 9 featuring student-led conversation with acclaimed artist Hebru Brantley, followed by a live, ticketed in-person celebration Friday, November 12 with Interactive Artist Interventions and Open Studios

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces its 82nd annual Gala which will this year be mounted in two versions the week of November 8: one virtually on Tuesday, November 9, 6:15-6:45 p.m. while the much-anticipated in-person celebration returns on site at the Center on Friday, November 12, 6:00-9:00 p.m.

The virtual Gala version, available for complimentary public viewing with contribute-what-you-can donations, will be headlined by an inspiring conversation with acclaimed street artist Hebru Brantley led by members of the Art Center’s own Youth Board of Artists, art auctions, and a DJ set.

Then, guests are invited out to the Art Center for the much-anticipated in-person return of its annual Gala. With a ‘creative cocktail’ dress code, the evening will feature a cocktail party with hors d'oeuvres and a full bar, remarks by Hyde Park Art Center Executive Director Kate Lorenz, and art auctions. With a reputation as one of the city’s most ‘hands on’ art parties, the Gala will feature the popular Interactive Artist Interventions, resident artist open studios, and a DJ set throughout the evening.

Interactive Artist Interventions have been one of the highlights of past Art Center Galas, where guests are engaged in inventive ways including getting inked by a tattoo artist and eating cake off a wall. The Interventions this year will feature the following Chicago artists: Macus Alonso, Jonathan Castillo, Kathryn Fimreite, and Kelly Kristin Jones.

\"This year’s celebration of Chicago art is rooted in optimism,” said Aaron Rodgers, Art Center Director of Development. “The seemingly endless pandemic has created countless obstacles to sharing our humanity with each other, but visual art and artists have found a way to be resilient. In fact, art has been an essential medicine to surviving and understanding these challenging times while providing the beauty and joy we’ve all craved. For that, this year’s gala is dedicated to the reliance of human expression while raising critical funds for arts education for all ages, support of Chicago artists, and a space for all Chicagoans to see, learn about, and make art.”

The Gala is co-chaired by Ghian, Traci + Jade Foreman, Jill Ingrassia + Luigi Zingales, and Sonya Malunda + E. Charles Lampley. Hyde Park Art Center’s Gala 2021 is presented by Lead Sponsor Julie and John Guida of The Guida Family Foundation. 

Guests can RSVP and make donations at www.hydeparkart.org/gala, where art auction items are also available for online viewing in advance of the gala. Tickets are available between $500 - $40,000 for the in-person event, and contribute-what-you-can for the virtual. For gala tickets or more information on sponsorship levels, please contact Maria Nelson at mnelson@hydeparkart.org or 773-324-5520 x1014.  Funds raised will deepen the impact of the Art Center’s programs for Chicago art and artists.

 

COVID Safety Protocols for the In-Person Gala

Masks and vaccination proof are required to enter the building. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be located in a heated tent with open sides outside of Gallery 1 to allow for air circulation. Artist Interventions, exhibitions, the art auction, and open studios will be dispersed throughout the Art Center’s entire building to allow for social distancing.

Join us for the hybrid in-person/virtual performance Dawtas | Mirror, Mirror, a collaborative project led by Jamaican artist Yasmin Spiro. This performance brings together dancers and sound artists performing with and within Dawtas—a series of sculptures the artist has been creating for over 15 years. The project is influenced by the work of Jamaican dancer and cultural historian Rex Nettleford, and is tied to notions of identity in Jamaica and the Caribbean—considering ritual in dance, bodies in relation to history and land, gender, identity, spiritualism, and mysticism. Featured performers include Jamila Raegan, Anthony Lovejoy, and sound artist DJ Major Taylor.

Dream is an exhibition of new works culminating the Art Center’s biennial Center Program, a professional development program for the elevation of emerging and mid-career artists, now in its 10th year. Guest-curated by Asha Iman Veal, this exhibition will occupy the entire first floor galleries from December 12, 2021 – March 20, 2022, featuring works by twenty artists from Center Program’s 2020-21 cohort. 

Emerging together after the stay-at-home year and a long period of self-reliance, this year’s Center Program cohort collectively and boldly proposes their vision for a better world. Each of the twenty artists brings their personhood to nuanced visual conversations on: police brutality, the female body as monument, freedom of protest, conservation, class inequity, human migration, mortality, mental health, and indigenous visibility and rights.

Elaborating on the naming of the exhibition, curator Asha Iman Veal said: “These artists constructively confront reality amidst the present moment’s prolonged intensity of societal shift. In different ways, each of the artworks takes on larger questions of what is next when former dreams and ways of being must evolve, hence the title Dream.” Veal goes on to share her journey curating the exhibition and working with the cohort: “Center Program enabled me to achieve something that isn’t possible with all exhibitions and projects—to value the time and detail of studio visits and sustained communication with artists, which is important to me as a relationship-based curator. For the span of an entire year and half, it has been a total brain delight to hear from and exchange with twenty unique individuals. I value the process and format of spending time with such deeply thinking artists, as much as the process of installing the public exhibition itself. There is a trust that develops week by week, and month by month, amongst this entire group, making this a very cool opportunity as a curator to facilitate a group cohesion.” 

Participating artists include Cecilia Beaven Gallegos, Dorothy Burge, Cathleen Campbell, Teresita Carson, Jonathan Castillo, Jason Dunda, Sarabeth Dunton, Tanya Gill, Brooke Hummer, Janis Kanter, Mayumi Lake, D. Lammie-Hanson, Percy Lam, Cydney Lewis, Frances Lee, JeeYeun Lee, Susannah Papish, Monika Plioplyte, Monica Rickert-Bolter, and Allison Svoboda.

Touch Points presents work from participants in New Edition, a program developed by the Art Center for artists to learn and make work in a medium with which they have had little to no previous experience. Educator, independent curator and gallerist Claudine Isé curates the exhibition, which features the work of 7 artists, each of whom presents one piece in the medium for which they are known alongside a new artwork made during the 10-week program. 

New Edition was conceived as a way for artists to thoughtfully experiment in another medium that they have never before seriously attempted. Participants—who are all Hyde Park Art Center alumni of either The Bridge Program, The Center Program, or Ground Floor—enroll in Art Center courses such as screen printing, monotype printing or ceramics.

Hyde Park Art Center presents group exhibition Wheel of Life

featuring new works created for pre-cinema animation device zoetropes

March 19 – July 2, 2022

 

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces group exhibition Wheel of Life and free related public program. The exhibition will be on view from March 19 – July 2 in Kanter McCormick Gallery, located on the Art Center’s second floor.

 

Guest curator and interdisciplinary artist Scott Wolniak invited 13 artists who do not normally make moving image work to create pieces to be activated by a custom-made zoetrope, a 19th-century pre-cinema optical device that produces the illusion of motion when a series of pictures on the inner surface is viewed through slits with a rotating cylinder.

 

Participating artists include Carris Adams, Leslie Baum, Jessica Campbell (with Aaron Renier), Sophia Chai, Ryan Travis Christian, Nicholas Frank, Charles Irvin, Flor, Laura Letinsky, Devin Mays, Dutes Miller, Daisy Schultz, andGeorgina Valverde. The exhibition also features an ambient sound installation by Franny M. Levitin.

 

Scott Wolniak is a multidisciplinary artist, teacher and curator based in Chicago, and an Instructional Professor in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces the new major exhibition, Loving Repeating: New Work by Miller and Shellabarger by married artists and longtime collaborators Dutes Miller & Stan Shellabarger, who will premiere their largest multimedia installation to date, April 10 - September 3, 2022. Loving Repeating addresses the presence and absence of human touch experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, in an immersive installation incorporating the artists’ signature style featuring silhouettes of each other’s bodies.

Since 1993, the two Chicago-based artists have been creating works on paper, performances, and installations that draw attention to the human condition experienced through the queer perspective. Their artworks focus on the underlying concept of the infinite feeling of connection, loneliness and loss felt throughout long-term relationships over time. Loving Repeating will include three new major works created in response to the Art Center’s gallery space: a twenty foot tall by an eighty-foot wide hand-painted mural, a multi-channel video projection made in collaboration with Steve Reinke, and an eighty-foot long cut-paper garland. This is the first time for the artists to create a painted mural, which will occupy the entire large wall of the gallery. The artists will also present a participatory performance for the first time: As art imitates life, the end of the exhibition will be celebrated with a bonfire to burn the paper artwork. The ashes will be placed and sealed in a pine box and added to the artists’ series of work titled burnt, which will also be on display.

According to Miller & Shellabarger, “Speaking both to common experiences of intimacy as well as the specifics of queer identities, we attempt to document the rhythms of relationships. The title of the exhibition comes from Gertrude Stein’s novel The Making of the Americans. Stein’s discussion of the way in which life, history, and time is formed and understood is emblematic of our own relationship: Life is made of small, repeated gestures, and each repetition accumulating over time equals history. Our work tries to document the intimacy of these small and repetitive moments in a variety of ways.”

Miller & Shellabarger explore physicality, duality, time, and romantic ideal in their multidisciplinary work, ranging from performance, photography, and artists books to sculpture and cut paper silhouettes. Their performances, always enacted together, in public, push simple materials and actions to almost Sisyphean extremes. Their gestures shift between moments of togetherness and separation, private and public, protection and pain, and visibility and invisibility. Their work is both autobiographical and metaphorical, speaking to common human interaction and queer relationships. Silhouettes of each other, their iconic beards, and their bodies appear regularly in their work. In their signature ongoing performance, Untitled (Pink Tube), a non-theatrical, durational piece, they simultaneously crochet at opposite ends of a long tube of pink acrylic yarn, a metaphorically-loaded object that both unites and separates them.

 

Together, Miller & Shellabarger have had solo shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Chicago Cultural Center, INOVA in Milwaukee, the University Galleries at Illinois State University and Gallery Diet in Miami and have performed and exhibited in group shows across North America. Miller & Shellabarger are a 2008 recipient of an Artadia Chicago award and a 2007 recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award. Their work is in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, the Newark Public Library, Indiana University Art Museum, and the National Gallery of Canada. They are represented by Western Exhibitions gallery in Chicago. For more information on the exhibition and related public programs, please visit www.hydeparkart.org.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces a major new group exhibition, The Language Between Worlds, featuring works by five artists that examine the racial inequality learned through systems that create American society, on view July 16 - October 29, 2022. Curated by Art Center Director of Exhibition & Residency Programs, Allison Peters Quinn, the exhibition includes artists Nyame Brown, Nicole Marroquin,Jessica Vaughn, and the Art Center’s former resident artists Chris Pappan (2019/20) and Bethany Collins (2016/17).

In this exhibition, the artists devise their own language of symbols, visual cues, and narrative structures that highlight the racial inequality woven into American society. Written and coded methods of communication are tools these artists employ in their paintings, drawings, textiles and prints to translate important lessons of protests and cultural preservation. Whether fact or folktale, the stories they choose to tell are revived through a modernist or conceptual approach and directly connect the past to the future, while challenging the author of history itself.

The title of the exhibition references Ta-Nehisi Coates’ nonfiction book Between the World and Me (2015), in which Coates’ tender narrative written to his son teaches the human toll of racial disparity and discusses the various systems in place that support a segregated America. Similarly, the artists in the exhibition borrow historic texts and materials that represent values-based behaviors—from Brer Rabbit and Homer’s Odyssey to newspapers, maps and manuals—and expose embedded systems of inequity, while suggesting methods to circumvent said systems.

Peters Quinn explains the genesis and urgency of curating this exhibition, “I began working on this show during the years of the Trump administration when examples of white privilege were obvious, unescapable, and detrimentally emboldened. It’s important that this show features voices of Black and Brown artists who approach the subject of racial injustice from perspectives of enlightenment, correction, speculation, and hope. Through the work, the artists challenge aspects in American education and social traditions that perpetuate discrimination, while offering space to chart a new path towards racial equity.” She goes on to point out the consistent connection between the Art Center’s curatorial practice and residency program, “As a white curator, I am grateful to have had conversations about race during the process of making this show with thoughtful and critical artists such as Pappan and Collins from the art center’s Residency program. The Residency program strives to support art practices that have a relationship to community and a demonstrated commitment to dismantling inequities through their work. Both of these artists are clear examples of the integrity that we look for in our resident artists’ work.”

The Language Between Worlds is generously supported by Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, partners with experimental dance company The Seldoms to celebrate the group’s twenty years of performance in Chicago and globally, with an exhibition featuring unique multidisciplinary art installations activated by choreography. Titled Toolbox @ Twenty, this exhibition is curated and choreographed by Carrie Hanson, Artistic Director of The Seldoms, in collaboration with Allison Peters Quinn, Art Center Director of Exhibitions and Residency, and is on view from September 24 – November 13, 2022.

The performative exhibition, taking place during the Year of Chicago Dance, includes new collaborative works created by four pairs of dancers and visual artists who share their processes, techniques, and values with one another. From this dialogue, the dancer identifies one essential word undergirding the visual artist's practice, then translates it to a choreographic “tool” that determines body movements for a dance piece created in response. The four tools developed in this exhibition includes:splice, mask, knot, and bowerbirding (building a nest from decorative objects). The dance pieces will be presented in the forms of both live performances throughout the duration of the exhibition and recorded videos seen in four art installations including large paintings, a sound installation, and massive woven fiber work.

The four dancer/artist pairings include Damon Green/Sadie Woods, Sarah Gonsiorowski/Jacqueline Surdell, Carrie Hanson/Edra Soto, and Maggie Vannucci (with choreography design by Dee Alaba)/Jackie Kazarian. The four visual artists--all Chicago-based, female, with human physicality present in their media--were selected by Hanson and Quinn to celebrate the female led dance company consisting of primarily female dancers.

 

Toolbox @ Twenty is the latest installment of Toolbox, an ongoing special project of The Seldoms, born out of a cross-disciplinary exchange between visual and dance artists in Glasgow in July 2017 around how to translate visual art practice to choreographic, spark new tactics of dance making, and invigorate choreographic practices. A series of live performances followed by conversations featuring the paired artists and dancers will be announced later. For updates, visit www.hydeparkart.org.

Ground Floor, an ongoing Biennial exhibition since 2010, brings together work by Chicago’s most promising emerging talent. The exhibition offers a single destination to discover artists, who have recently graduated (in 2021 and 2022) from one of Chicago’s five outstanding MFA programs and whose work demands to be seen and supported. Ground Floor presents art made in the past couple of years in hopes to investigate and articulate conceptual and stylistic trends coming out of Chicago art schools right now.

Ground Floor—so named because it provides a crucial platform for young artists and expands the entire lower level of the Art Center, gives exhibiting artists a major public venue in which to display their works at a critical juncture in their careers, helping to build, support and ensure a strong and vibrant community of artists in Chicago.

The 2022 Ground Floor exhibition marks the seventh iteration of this biennial exhibition at the Art Center.

Featuring Artists: Sungho Bae (SAIC), Juan Baños (UIC), Scott Campbell (U of C), Ále Campos (SAIC), Sofia Fernandez Diaz (SAIC),Ali Georgescu (CCC), Sara Grose (U of C), Payton Harris Woodard (SAIC), Patrick Hubbell (SAIC), Nicholas Jackson (UIC),Ajmal “MAS MAN” Millar (SAIC), Travis Morehead (NU), Natasha Moustache (CCC), Elissa Osterland (U of C), Jess Atieno (SAIC),Shabtai Pinchevsky (NU), Emilie Plunkett (CCC), Corey Smith (SAIC), Frank Vega (SAIC), and Jessica Walker (NU)

Saturday February 11, 1 - 5pm 

This year’s Ground Floor symposium will explore artists who explore selfhood, identity, and performance through world building, spatiality, and objecthood.

Through a series of workshops, performances and talks, we will present a panel discussion, A Perception of Selfhood, and how the practice of identity manifests in the larger context of society and others, a series of workshops that will explore the objects and words that ground us and how interiority contributes to world building and space, and the body in practice through performance and persona.

Presented with Chicago Cultural Center and Newberry Library, Unlikely Entanglements is one of the three featured exhibitions of the second Veteran Art Triennial, SURVIVING THE LONG WARS. Unlikely Entanglements reveals the connections that emerge between personal and collective histories of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities marked by the legacies of the two longest wars in US history—the \"American Indian Wars\" and the \"Global War on Terror.” Visual parallels and connections surface—from contrasting viewpoints and across differences—between artworks by civilians impacted by these long wars and BIPOC military veterans. These “unlikely entanglements” highlight the aesthetic affinities that form between different histories, geographies, and peoples resisting colonialism. The featured artists - including Mahwish Chishty, Joe DeVera, Sabba Elahi, Rodney Ewing, Rajkamal Kahlon, Ruth Kaneko (Kānaka Wahine), Eric Perez, Yvette Pino, Gregory Rick, Dwayne Wilcox (Oglala Lakota), Yiran Zhang, Hussein Smko, Hipolito Arriaga, GOODW.Y.N., and more - use collage, embroidery, soft sculpture, and installation to unravel dominant histories of militarism while weaving together intimate stories of survival and resistance. Collectively, these consequential artworks of wartime survivors and their descendants conjure meaning out of the traumatic afterlives of the long wars while creating space for solidarity and alternative futures.

Booth 453 in Navy Pier’s Festival Hall

The Art Center will present a micro-exhibition of works by Regina Agu and Farah Salem that reflect on the relationship between geography, the body, and the histories and traditions embedded in landscapes. Agu’s interest in landscapes, particularly of the Gulf South began as a lens-based biographical exploration, grew into a deep visual study of Black geographies and spatial concerns informed by her academic training in policy studies and data science. Salem’s most recent multimedia installations trace relationships between land and ancestral healing practices. Informed by her profession as an art therapist and counselor applying somatic-based therapies for trauma healing, research and experiments with movement-based and musical traditions from the Arabian Peninsula, Salem’s practice explores the potential erasure of socio-cultural conditioning that influences and distorts shared realities.

Amuleto is a collaboration between the independent art spaces The Franklin, Mayfield and Hyde Park Art Center to present artwork by artists that address the ideas of the amulet/amuleto: portable objects that are attributed magical, emotional or sentimental value. Civilizations have believed in the energy of amulets going all the way back to ancient times. These talismans are often worn to aid or protect their wearer or given a spiritual significance that varies from person to person and is symbolically compared to an armor. How do contemporary artists incorporate the alchemy of artifacts in their work? This exhibition concept originated from the artists Edra Soto, Madeleine Aguilar and Alberto Aguilar in relation to their own art practices and how they consider found, personal objects to be infused with power from memories generated from the object’s history of use or existence. The exhibition will take place in three companion shows spread throughout the three venues in the spring/summer of 2023 and run simultaneously at the Art Center with the solo exhibition Destination/El Destino: A decade of Graft by Edra Soto.

Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT is the largest exhibition to date of the prolific Puerto Rican artist, educator, and community organizer Edra Soto. Rooted in themes of cultural hybridity, the exhibition addresses the unsung influence of Afro-diasporic cultures on Puerto Rico’s decorative architecture. A highlight of the exhibition is a new, large-scale commission of the artist’s GRAFT series with porous sculptures, documentary photographs, drawings, and games that activate the Art Center’s indoor/outdoor main gallery. The culmination project of a year-long residency of Soto at the Art Center, Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT paves way for new understandings, dialogue, and communal healing.

Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT is  the largest exhibition to date of the Puerto Rican artist, educator, and community organizer Edra Soto. Rooted in themes of cultural hybridity, the exhibition features a new large-scale commission of the artist’s GRAFT series with porous sculptures, documentary photographs, drawings, and games that activate the Art Center’s indoor/outdoor main gallery. Creating a playful and open environment for dialogue, transformation, and communal healing, Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT is on view from April 23 to August 6, 2023.

Destination/El Destino is the culmination project of a year-long residency of Edra Soto at the Art Center, and focuses on the decade-long evolution of the artist’s multimedia GRAFT seriesexploring the architecture of Soto’s native Puerto Rico and its ties to the African Diaspora/Afro-Caribbean tradition.      

Soto says, \"When I think about a destination, I think about that special place that builds anticipation from within. The exhibition marks a full circle moment in my career, with the first iteration ofGRAFT developed over a decade ago at the Art Center. My last year in residence offered me the space and privacy to reflect on GRAFT as a full body of work, providing an opportunity to bring early and recent developments of the project together as well as literary contributions that have inspired me over ten years of exploration. I hope my work inspires visitors to dream of their own destinations that have to do with their lives, their memories, and their own concerns.”

GRAFT addresses the unsung influence of Afro-diasporic cultures on Puerto Rico’s decorative architecture. The series references two common domestic architectural elements: quiebrasoles, made of concrete blocks, and rejas, ornamental grilles or screens typically cast in wrought iron. In Puerto Rico, quiebrasoles and rejas are arranged in decorative geometric patterns to create shade or act as a protective barrier between the street and the home. The GRAFT series combines elements of quiebrasoles and rejas with documentary photographs and drawings to counter colonial narratives that trace their designs to the Western-European tradition, expanding the voices and visions represented in the architecture of everyday Puerto Rican life. Drawing from the progressive scholarship of architectural historian Jorge Ortiz Colom, GRAFT reiterates how Puerto Rican architecture is indebted to the sub-Saharan African population brought to Puerto Rico as enslaved people to work on plantations.

The exhibition is curated by Allison Peters Quinn, Director of Exhibition & Residency Programs at the Hyde Park Art Center.

 

RELATED PROGRAMS

In conjunction with the exhibition, a dynamic public program will feature free game nights, concerts of Afro-Caribbean Bomba y Plena music, and dance nights. The program will also include structured artist and guest speaker conversations about the cultural hybridity and post-colonial consideration present in Soto’s work.

Flow Yoga with Alexis Sponsored by lululemon
1-2pm 

Flow is an all-levels Hatha influenced yoga class. Participants will be guided through a slow and gentle warm-up. Participants will then transition into a buildup of energetic sequences using asana (yoga postures) and breath to welcome the release of tension and stress while inviting peace and ease. Like in vinyasa, participants will be encouraged to pair breath to movement through each series of postures.  

Various options for postures will be offered and participants are always encouraged to listen to their bodies while flowing.

Comedic Relief with Marcus Banks 
3-4pm 

Local Comedian, Marcus Banks, presents ‘You Scary’: An Experimental Stand Up Comedy Special. Marcus Banks is a stand up comedian based in Chicago who has been performing all over the city and in parts of the Midwest for 5 years. Much of Marcus’ comedy comes from living in the dichotomy of fearing his environment but also being feared as a Black person. He’s scared but also unjustifiably feared. His fears also feel irrational at times. In elementary, when someone called you ‘scary,’ it meant you were afraid. Like many others, Marcus has experienced trauma that has amplified his previously dormant anxiety. In times of stress, his unacknowledged anxiety has shown its face and felt like an insurmountable obstacle. Only through community support, has he been able to overcome it.

Influenced by his experience in both predominantly white and Black spaces, and how he’s perceived in both, Marcus has decided to design or create a space of healing which will include mediation, prayer, improv, sketch, and stand up comedy. Marcus will spend 30 minutes telling jokes and stories that touch on his journey with anxiety and tools that have helped him unpack and heal. Join Marcus and his friends for a unique variety show aimed at  making you feel lighter.

About Marcus Banks

Marcus Banks is a stand up comedian based in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Boston University in 2017 and running out of couches to hop on in LA, Marcus decided to give stand up comedy a try and hasn’t turned back. He’s performed at all of the major clubs around Chicago and produces an all Black comedy variety show called My Best Friend is Black.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces Multiples and Multitudes, the first solo exhibition of Chicago-based Mexican American artist and educator William Estrada whose socially engaged practice has been rooted in Chicago neighborhoods for the last twenty years. Works in print, photography, performance and video, developed during the artist’s 2021 residency at the art center, will be presented to highlight Estrada’s unwavering commitment to political activism through art. William Estrada: Multiples and Multitudes will be on view at the Hyde Park Art Center from July 22 to October 29, 2023.

Multiples and Multitudes will reprise in one exhibition Estrada’s various public projects from the past, such as RADICAL Printshop, a pop-up print shop that takes residence in communal spaces; Mobile Street Art Cart, a printing studio on wheels designed to offer art workshops anywhere; and Arte with Maestro William, a bilingual YouTube channel where Estrada teaches art lessons for families to follow from home. These projects have been designed as invitations for others to create, venues for the artist’s performative community interventions, and visual artworks in their own right. Taking the form of video works, prints, installations, and sculptures, these artworks will be activated by the artist during impromptu and planned performative events throughout the exhibition that invite community members to participate and create art.


Estrada shares reflections on his first solo exhibition as a milestone, “As I prepare to be an exhibiting artist at the Hyde Park Art Center, I reflect on how my teaching and artistic practice have grown over the last twenty years. HPAC has been a big part of that growth, and it has been a space where people have encouraged me to be playful, bring joy, and complicate the relationship between making art and teaching. I'm excited to play with concepts that continue to push me out of my comfort zone and in the process learn about the possibilities that exist in collaborating with people in their community.  It brings me so much joy to know that HPAC once again is encouraging and providing a space to explore what my practice can look like through this exhibition.”

The title of the exhibition, Multiples and Multitudes, emphasizes the values of accessibility and collectivity that are ingrained in Estrada’s work. Collective making is a core value of his practice. Estrada’s prints often leave space for participants to intervene in their own voice, as in “Mad Libs.” Allowing for the work to be completed and owned by participants. To recognize the collaborative spirit of Estrada’s work, the exhibition will bring together works by the artist, his collaborators, and students.

Through collaborations with youth, community members, teachers, and artists, Estrada aims to reimagine public and educational spaces to unite people and amplify local voices, creating space for others to express themselves artistically and politically. Drawing inspiration from the Chicano Art Movement in the United States and Taller de Grafica Popular in Mexico City–two movements committed to using art as a tool to circulate relevant sociopolitical messages–Estrada’s work is radically accessible to communities in form and content. His work lives in schools, public parks, and community centers, can be reproduced inexpensively or found online, and is made by, with, and for community members.

Multiples and Multitudes is curated by Mariela Acuña, Exhibitions & Residency Manager, in collaboration with the artist. Educational materials describing Estrada’s process and practice, including an introductory video, brochure, and labels, will be presented in both English and Spanish.

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

William Estrada is an arts educator and multidisciplinary artist. His art and teaching are a collaborative discourse that critically re-examines public and private spaces with people to engage in radical imagination. He has presented in various panels regarding community programming, arts integration, and social justice curricula. He is currently a faculty member at the UIC School of Art and Art History and a teaching artist at Telpochcalli Elementary School. William is engaging in collaborative work with the Mobilize Creative Collaborative, Chicago ACT Collective, and Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative. His current research is focused on developing community based and culturally relevant projects that center power structures of race, economy, and cultural access in contested spaces that provide a space to collectively imagine just futures.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, will host the summer installment of its quarterly series Center Days, an all-ages program filled with artmaking activities, workshops, and artist talks. This program takes place Saturday, July 22 from 1-4 PM featuring four exhibitions, artmaking, storytelling, performances, and open studios. The event is free and open to the public, and pre-registration is encouraged at hydeparkart.org.

Quarterly Center Days are curated by Ciera McKissick, Hyde Park Art Center Public Programs Manager, as a means of introducing the community to the myriad ongoing offerings at Hyde Park Art Center for all ages, interests, and skill levels; the JulyCenter Day programming includes:

Exhibition Celebrations for Multiples and Multitudes, A Universe of Self-Experience, Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT, and Amuleto

1-4PM

Artists and curators are available to visitors to discuss the artworks, processes, and inspiration behind the Art Center’s latest exhibitions. Multiples and Multitudes is the first-ever solo exhibition by Chicago-based artist and educator William Estrada, whose socially-engaged practice has been rooted in Chicago neighborhoods for the last twenty years. This year’s annual teen showcase, A Universe of Self-Experience, features works created during the Art Center’s 30-week teen program that explore the boundlessness and complexity of the time in which these young artists are coming of age. Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT brings together the decade-long series of artworks by the Chicago-based Puerto Rican artist, educator, and organizer Edra Soto. The series features vernacular architecture from the artist’s native Puerto Rico to address the migration and hybridity of cultural forms. Amuleto is a collaboration between the Art Center and independent art spaces The Franklin (run by Soto) and Mayfield that features works exploring the amulet/amuleto: portable objects that are attributed magical, emotional, or sentimental value.

 

Artmaking Activity: Musical Maracas

Mueller Meeting Room on the first floor

1-4PM

Teaching artist Cydney Lewis leads a maraca-making workshop to celebrate the music of Puerto Rico. Visitors are invited to use everyday materials to create their own unique and colorful maracas to play along with the Bomba performance from 3-3:30PM.

 

Artmaking Activity: Create Your Own Tin Medallion

D'Angelo Library on the 1st floor

1-4PM

Teaching artist Keny de la Peña offers participants the opportunity to create their own tin medallions like those included in Destination/El Destino: a decade of GRAFT, inspired by the structures and patterns Soto grew up with in Puerto Rico.

 

Community Artmaking & Storytelling: What Time Is It? A Cultural & Civic Archive

Outdoor entrance

1-4PM

Interdisciplinary artists Irina Zadov and Najee-Zaid Searcy host a day of community mural painting and storytelling. Participants will be contributing to What Time Is It? A Cultural and Civic Archive which documents and uplifts Chicago's BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ artists, organizers, and healers, by weaving together narratives from the revolutionary summer of 2020 to now, including the Black Lives Matter movement, the nationwide uprisings, the pandemic and more.

 

The Garden Floating Museum Activation

Parking lot

1-4PM

The Garden, a traveling installation currently residing in the art center’s parking lot, is a monumental remembering of specific plant histories and the ways they continually shape the world. Profoundly linked to the empire, cultivation and trade, this work uses the metaphor of the garden to have conversations associated with movement, belonging, food, colonialism, capitalism, growth and violence. The word, diaspora—‘dia’ meaning across and ‘spora’ meaning scatter—itself has botanical roots. With an evident disruption of global supply chains resulting from the pandemic, wars and climate change, the event questions how people might make different choices which would diminish neo-colonial tendencies for the future. The Floating Museum places the monument, an already complex, hybrid, and enigmatic object, in the Art Center’s parking lot as a catalyst for conversation and a scenographic intervention. This project is made in collaboration with Art Center Radicle Resident Artist Kushala Vora and made possible with the generous support of the Illinois Arts Council and the Joyce Foundation. 

 

Las Bompleneras Unplugged Performance

In Gallery 1 & its adjacent outdoor plaza

3-3:30PM

Las Bompleneras Unplugged, an all female sextet, will provide a showcase of traditional and original Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba and Plena music through song, percussion, and dance. The director of Las Bompleneras Unplugged, Ivelisse Díaz, has over 30 years of experience in studying and practicing Bomba, and 15 years in teaching the musical art form.

 

Creative Wing Open Studios with Resident Artists

1-4PM

The resident artists working in the Jackman Goldwasser Creative Wing open their studios to the public. Radicle Residents include Eric Perez, Sofía Fernández Díaz, Kushala Vora, and Rhonda Wheatley. Guida Family Creative Wing studio artists include Candace Hunter, zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal, Juarez Hawkins, Malika Jackson, and Irina Zadov.


About Center Days

Once every quarter, Hyde Park Art Center is activated throughout for the public, neighbors, and families, with intergenerational art making activities, artist workshops, artist talks, open studios, curatorial tours of its exhibitions, community collaborations, and music. Center Days are free and open for all.

Gallery 1, 2  & Cleve E. Carney Gallery

The exhibition commemorates the 2020 and 2023 installments of the Not Just Another Pretty Face project. The triennial program, created by Hyde Park Art Center in the mid-1990s, allows the Art Center to play matchmaker for artists and potential art buyers. This dynamic project facilitates a fun and accessible commissioning process that builds lasting relationships between artists and patrons, creates a new base of support for artists, and invests in the vitality of Chicago’s cultural community. The completion of each installment is celebrated by an exhibition, a catalog documenting the process, and a lively event to unveil the finished pieces, which will make their way to the patrons’ homes following the exhibition.

The project has been a successful way for the Art Center to cultivate an essential part of the “ecosystem” that artists need to thrive – collectors – by embracing and encouraging the idea of patronage in contemporary art. We believe that artists need not only consumers (i.e., collectors) of their work but also a community of people who know and support them and value what they do.

To date, the Art Center has raised over $900,000—half of which goes directly into the hands of artists, with the other half supporting Art Center programs. Through Not Just Another Pretty Face, 375+ original works of art have been commissioned by 275 new and established collectors interested in investing in Chicago’s artists.

What are the true surfaces of an object? Chicago-based artist Marian Carow considers this philosophical perspective and other formal concerns in her upcoming solo exhibition. Salvages will present new sculptural work rendered in cardboard, through which Carow explores minimal forms referencing architecture as well as the constant flux and impermanence of human’s built urban environment. Carow is an alumna of Hyde Park Art Center’s Center Program (2016) and has been making drawings and sculptures for several decades.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non‐profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces programs for Chicago‐based artist Candace Hunter’s largest solo exhibition to date, including activations for Women’s History Month and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. With reading circles, writing workshops, and concerts, exhibition programming will explore the ideas of speculative fiction author Octavia E Butler (1947‐2006), whose works serve as inspiration to Hunter’s most immersive exhibition to date. In The Alien‐Nations and Sovereign States of Octavia E Butler, Hunter presents a series of assemblage‐based works, installations, video, and sound works that illustrate the meticulously constructed worlds Butler imagined in her novels, examining their significance for Black bodies and future societies. Candace Hunter: The Alien‐Nations and Sovereign States of Octavia E Butler will be on view from November 11, 2023 to March 3, 2024. The exhibition is co‐curated by the Art Center’s Public Programs Manager Ciera Alyse McKissick and Director of Exhibition & Residency ProgramsAllison Peters Quinn.      

In The Alien‐Nations and Sovereign States of Octavia E Butler, Hunter presents new works created with synthetic plants, remnants of a sustainable food experiment, a reading nook, and painted doors as imagined portals to other worlds to create what she describes as an “alien lush space.” The exhibition addresses the concepts of nationhood. Hunter poses questions about who is other, and in what situations do we see people as other to ourselves? How do we become universal?

A highlight of the exhibition is the installation Lilith’s Journey, inspired by Butler’s Xenogenesis Trilogy (Lilith’s Brood), which features a sequence of female silhouettes interspersed with full-length distorting mirrors. The figure represents the matriarch and Lilith’s ability to lead and grow a new civilization, while the mirrors explore the relationship between the gaze and creating feelings of otherness. Comparing the Parable of the Sower to the Trump era and using Xenogenesis Trilogy (Lilith’s Brood) to explore what “alien” worlds might exist beyond America and its race relations today, Hunter’s exhibition creates a speculative space where multiple generations come together to envision a better future. 

Candace Hunter says, “I’ve been working with Butler’s content for over a decade. I was drawn to Butler’s work because she was a Black girl in literature creating worlds that were fantastical. It was a world you could find for yourself or create. You could just think of something, and it is. That was my first understanding of conceptual art: I can just make it, and it is.”    

In response to the Black Lives Matter movement, when the phrase “I can’t breathe” became prevalent in the fight for justice for Black lives, Hunter believes that “the future is breath,” a sign of life and growth. The phrase will radiate in neon in the exhibition’s center installation A Collision of Worlds, which incorporates broken mementos, plant life, and burnt matter to allude to the chaos of Butler’s imagined worlds and their resemblance to our own. The neon words serve as a reminder to visitors of Afrofuturism’s dependence onthe preservation and elevation of Black bodies and voices in the present.   

Rooted in her identification as a Black woman and spanning over two decades, Hunter’s work has explored the crises she predicts will impact twenty‐first century society at large, from capitalism and climate change to food justice, humanism, and the politics of water. In Butler’s novels, the Black female heroes navigate an earth devastated by climate catastrophe and war to lead survivors to a new world ‐ either on this planet or the next planet.

ABOUT THE ARTIST   

Candace Hunter (chlee), a Chicago‐based artist, creates collage, paintings, installations, and performance art. Plainly, she tells stories. Using appropriated materials from magazines, vintage maps, cloth, and various reused materials, she offers this new landscape of materials back to the viewer with a glimpse of history and admiration of the beautiful. A highly respected artist in the Midwest, chlee’s recent honors include the Elevate Climate Changemakers Award (2022), 3Arts Next Level Award (2021), the Tim and Helen Meier Family Foundation Award (2020), the 3Arts Award (2016) and honored by the Diasporal Rhythms Collective. She was also a featured speaker at the 24th Gwendolyn Brooks Black Writers’ Conference: We Are Each Other’s Harvest (2022), and the Midwest Women in Ecology Conference (2019). Hunter’s most recent notoriety has come from her Brown Limbed Girls series, which are painted and collaged 20 x 20‐inch works, more than 130 and counting, that were born during the COVID‐19 pandemic and their sole purpose was to depict brown girls in various states of joy. To date, those images have been featured on Chicago billboards, three book covers, in two major shows in New Orleans and Oakland, and in many private collections, including that of Actress CCH Pounder.

Hyde Park Art Center hosts its annual Gala that activates its entire building on Friday, November 17, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., with an afterparty that goes till midnight. 

Co-chaired by Kimberly and James Elbaor, Wendy and John Minor, and Angelique Power, the lively event is packed with hands-on art activities, performances, open studios, art auctions, and DJs from Lumpen Radio, offering a unique and interactive experience while benefiting the art center’s various programs supporting Chicago art and artists. The Gala afterparty is hosted in partnership with Lumpen Radio.

The Art Center’s co-Executive Directors Jeannette Tremblay Chambers and Aaron Rodgers share their excitement for the upcoming fundraiser and hope for the event: “We're thrilled to celebrate Hyde Park Art Center's impact on arts and artists in Chicago. It has been an extraordinary year: from the groundbreaking solo exhibition of artist-activist William Estrada to the vital retrospective of Edra Soto's Graft; from the TeenFest to the Art of Pride; with the contribute-what-you-can art classes of our art education initiative Open Arts, the Art Center continues to be a vital resource for our vibrant community. The proceeds of the gala will enable us to continue our work, and we hope everyone will join us in making next year our best year yet!” 

With a “creative cocktail” dress code, the evening will feature a cocktail party running from 5:30-7:00 p.m., followed by a seated family style dinner, remarks by Art Center leadership, and art auctions. With a reputation as one of the city’s most “hands-on” art parties, the Gala will feature an afterparty in collaboration with Lumpen Radio from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30pm that includes the popular Interactive Artist Interventions, resident artist open studios, performances, DJs Logan Bay, La Janesita, and Sonorama, late-night bites, and more. Afterparty tickets are $75 and are available on the Art Center’s website. Resident artists include Rufina Bazlova, Sofía Fernández Díaz, Juarez Hawkins, Candace Hunter, Malika Jackson, zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o'neal, Eric Perez, Tongji Philip Qian, Kushala Vora, and Rhonda Wheatley.

Interactive Artist Interventions have been one of the highlights of past Art Center Galas, where guests were engaged in inventive interactions such as getting inked by a tattoo artist and eating cake off a wall. The 2023 Gala will feature artist interventions by Jonathan Castillo, Young Kim, Jordan Knecht, Mariana Noreña, Chris Tasior, and teen artists from the Art Center’s Youth Board of Artists.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Hyde Park Art Center presents a conversation centering the work of exhibition artist Candace Hunter and the legacy of Black science fiction writer, Octavia Butler, that inspires Hunter’s current exhibition. The conversation will focus on the shared sense of world-building within Butler’s literary work and Hunter’s reimagining of spatial representation. The conversation will explore the legacy and impact of Butler on the Afrofuturism movement and speculative fiction as a literary genre.  The title of the program, \"The Future is Breath,\" speaks to the current conversations surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement and highlights conceptual ideas relating to the future of Black people and their evolution in lieu of the grief surrounding Black death.

Aimée Beaubien showcases her innovative techniques in Through the Hothouse. The installation transforms a 92-foot-long hallway into a green corridor by integrating elements such as plant matter, weaving, photographs, and 3D drawings. This immersive garden of strange and enticing forms symbolizes the intricate interplay between ecological, social, and cultural concerns. Beaubien’s work challenges common assumptions about landscape and raises important questions about preservation, conservation, and care for green space within the built environment.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces Alice Shaddle: Fuller Circles, introducing the enduring work of the artist (1928 – 2017) to new audiences in Chicago, where her practice was based for over 60 years. On view from March 23 – June 16, 2024, the exhibition and corresponding free public programs are part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.

Shaddle worked in many media, focusing on particular modes and materials, fearlessly and intensively, resulting in highly resolved bodies of work. The exhibition examines distinct phases in Shaddle's life and work, including an early papier maché bas relief sculpture from 1964 (one of only two known extant works from this period); shadow boxes with haunting visages from the 1970s; documentation and remnants from her immersive floor installations and related, large-scale colored pencil drawings from 1978 to 1984; and collages created during her yearslong collaboration with her close friend, artist Katheryn Kucera. The exhibition will showcase Shaddle’s elaborate processes of layering and construction, revealing meticulous modes of working and inventive use of materials.

The exhibition design incorporates architectural features from Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1892 George Blossom House in Hyde Park, where Shaddle lived for over five decades. Shaddle meticulously conserved the house and created works inspired by/under the influence of Wright’s very early Prairie School idiom, its architectural features, and the changing qualities of light.

The exhibition is informed by a three-year research project (funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art) into the lives and works of Shaddle and her former husband, artist and curator Don Baum, in which exhaustive images and information on Shaddle’s life and work were gathered and organized, and many artists, scholars, critics, and friends of Shaddle and Baum were interviewed. This project provided the curatorial team with rich resources to draw from for this exhibition. The research project was conducted by Shaddle and Baum’s son, Charles Baum, and grandson, Cain Baum, with assistance from art historian Susan Weininger. The launch of a major online catalogue raisonné of Shaddle’s and Baum’s work, including the interviews, will coincide with the exhibition, providing access to extensive research resources for artists, scholars, and future audiences.

The exhibition is curated by Nicholas Lowe and Lisa Stone, who share the impetus of creating this exhibition: “We are honored to delve deeply into Shaddle’s incredible oeuvre, which is endlessly fascinating and never exhausts its possibilities. It’s a rare pleasure to work so closely and harmoniously with Shaddle’s son and grandson, and the project has a strong ‘family spine.’ It’s most appropriate for this exhibition to be hosted by Hyde Park Art Center, a beating cultural heart in Shaddle’s world for over fifty years. Shaddle exhibited widely throughout her career, in and beyond Chicago. She has slipped from the public’s eye and is most deserving of critical, visual, and art historical attention, for work that is conceptually rich, extraordinarily crafted, and especially relevant in current efforts to reevaluate art made by women. We’re especially excited to engage many artists and scholars in the curatorial and interpretive processes. Fuller Circles will offer new audiences access to her creative vision. Alice Shaddle will open many eyes!”

The richly illustrated exhibition catalog, with installation images and contributions by artists and scholars, will be available at Hyde Park Art Center in spring 2024.

For extensive information on Alice Shaddle’s life, works, and exhibitions, see the online archive, www.shaddlebaumarchive.com, which will launch in spring 2024.

 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Alice Shaddle (1928-2017) lived and worked in Chicago and taught art classes at Hyde Park Art Center for over 50 years, informing, encouraging, and delighting countless young artists. She was a founding member and exhibited for almost four decades at Artemisia Gallery, an alternative exhibition space started by a group of women frustrated by the lack of opportunities for female artists in Chicago. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in 1954 and, as a working mother, her MFA from SAIC in 1972. The artist was fearless in her experimentation with media, creating elaborate floor installations, paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, reliefs, boxed objects, magazines, and all manner of collages. As part of her inventive use of materials, Shaddle had a disciplined practice of creating and mailing hundreds of collages as gifts for her family and close friends. Shaddle’s poetry augments her varied visual works. She meticulously conserved and championed Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1892 George Blossom House on Kenwood Avenue, where she lived for over five decades. Shaddle exhibited widely and her work is in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Illinois State Museum, and several private collections.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non‐profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, proudly presents The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige, the career-spanning survey of artist, designer, and educator Robert Earl Paige (b. 1936). With multimedia works made between 1964 and 2024, this solo show is the largest presentation of the Chicago native’s work to date, including rarely seen parts of Paige’s collection that explore the artist’s lifelong quest for beauty and equality. The exhibition features public programming made in close collaboration with the community, including a series of public talks with artists and scholars; performance and workshop collaborations with Honey Pot Performance Collective and Hyde Park Jazz Festival; and a series of free community art making activities at the Art Center and unconventional spaces like community gardens, barber shops, laundromats, and churches throughout Chicago’s South Side. Curated by Allison Peters Quinn, Director of Exhibition & Residency Programs at the Hyde Park Art Center, the exhibition is on view from April 6 until October 27, 2024. 

Inspired equally by modernist aesthetics and the traditional basket weaving techniques and symbology of West African cultures, Paige seeks to encourage liberation for all. His signature “Power to the People” design motif of half circles building upward and outward in an organized mesh of individuals expresses how simple gestures and lines can depict solidarity. Visitors will see rounded forms found in nature, wavy lines responding to jazz improvisation, and geometric abstractions guided by Adinkra symbols in African culture.

Raised in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, where he still resides, Paige makes artworks in response to the patterns and textures of everyday Black life. Another highlight of the exhibition is the debut of recent clay, wall/floor paintings, and collage made during Paige’s Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center in 2022-23. Recurring themes stand out across decades and medium, demonstrating his steadfast observation of American culture and Black community.

Featuring over one hundred artworks and artifacts from the artist’s personal archive, the expansive exhibition shows how Paige’s work moves beyond the use of commercial textiles for retail, interior design, and fashion, into original silk paintings, drawings, collage, and ceramics. The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige will showcase the dynamic color palette, pattern, and play in the artist’s multimedia works, and feature new and recent rugs, textile, and furniture Paige made in collaboration with Oscar Isberian Rugs, The Weaving Mill/ Emily Winter and artist Jeffrey Robinson for Hyde Park Art Center.

In addition to presenting Paige’s singular graphic style, the show incorporates Paige’s pedagogy as a longtime teaching artist working with youth in the Midwest, Harlem (New York), and South Africa. The exhibition will include a room dedicated to hands-on art making activities grounded in Paige’s principles of design that will be activated weekly with free public workshops led by Community Engagement Fellow, Keny De La Peña.

As part of The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige, the Hyde Park Art Center will present a companion exhibition, Parapluie, in an adjacent gallery that features the works of local artists Paige identifies as being in his peer-to-peer creative network. The parapluie, or umbrella in French, is how Paige describes the circles of artists that mutually support each other and regularly exchange ideas, skills, solutions, and materials.

The exhibition and corresponding public programs are part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.

This exhibition highlights functional and two dimensional artwork by ten multigenerational artists who demonstrate enthusiasm for color, pattern, and purpose-driven design. The artists were selected by artist/designer Robert Earl Paige and are considered by him to be in a parapluie (or “umbrella” in French), a word he uses to symbolize a supportive creative community. Parapluie features work by Lori Bartman, Matty DeVita, Espi Frazier, Malika Jackson, Turtel Onli, Brian Parris, Tony Smith, Dorian Sylvain, and Bernard Williams.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Robert Earl Paige (b. 1936, Chicago) is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator actively making work that challenges the distinction between fine art and craft by combining elements from African aesthetic traditions, modernist painting, Bauhaus architecture, and vernacular invention in his objects, collages, and fabrics. He earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and began his career working for the architectural design firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill before transitioning to creating commercial objects and fashion. He has partnered with commercial enterprises such as the Italian fashion house Fiorio and Sears, Roebuck and Co. department stores to produce scarves and interior decor respectively. His signature line the Dakkabar Collection was sold nationwide in over one hundred Sears stores and included several bedroom and home furnishing pieces inspired by West African imagery with a contemporary palette in the 1970s.

Paige participated early in the Black Arts Movement, and believes strongly in its ideology of community participation in art and culture, which continues to be of focus in his pedagogy today. He has taught art and design principles to youth through Gallery 37 (Chicago) and is a frequent lecturer with the nomadic Black Arts Movement School Modality. Paige has been an artist-in-residence for many organizations, including the Cabrini Green neighborhood alliance, DuSable Museum of African American History, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Ndebele Foundation (South Africa), and Hyde Park Art Center.  Works by Robert Paige have been exhibited at Salon94 Design and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, and in Chicago at the SMART Museum of Art and the Chicago Cultural Center, among others.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Robert Earl Paige (b. 1936, Chicago) is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator actively making work that challenges the distinction between fine art and craft by combining elements from African aesthetic traditions, modernist painting, Bauhaus architecture, and vernacular invention in his objects, collages, and fabrics. He earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and began his career working for the architectural design firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill before transitioning to creating commercial objects and fashion. He has partnered with commercial enterprises such as the Italian fashion house Fiorio and Sears, Roebuck and Co. department stores to produce scarves and interior decor respectively. His signature line the Dakkabar Collection was sold nationwide in over one hundred Sears stores and included several bedroom and home furnishing pieces inspired by West African imagery with a contemporary palette in the 1970s.

Paige participated early in the Black Arts Movement, and believes strongly in its ideology of community participation in art and culture, which continues to be of focus in his pedagogy today. He has taught art and design principles to youth through Gallery 37 (Chicago) and is a frequent lecturer with the nomadic Black Arts Movement School Modality. Paige has been an artist-in-residence for many organizations, including the Cabrini Green neighborhood alliance, DuSable Museum of African American History, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Ndebele Foundation (South Africa), and Hyde Park Art Center.  Works by Robert Paige have been exhibited at Salon94 Design and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, and in Chicago at the SMART Museum of Art and the Chicago Cultural Center, among others.

New paintings, drawings, photography, prints, and multimedia works demonstrate the intense study by young adult artists participating in Hyde Park Art Center’s Teen programs. Under the guidance of professional artists, nearly twenty teens develop their creative voices over the course of 15 weeks. These young artists chose to address the challenges of articulating perplexed thoughts, feelings, and emotions into individual works of art.

Hyde Park Art Center presents a screening of Dear Black Artist in conjunction with the exhibition The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige. Dear Black Artist is a documentary project that began right before the pandemic and highlights 77 Black artists as an ode to the 77 communities in Chicago. In the documentary, the artists discuss their creative journeys, barriers to access, and their greatest hopes for Black artists in the future. The film gives a snapshot of multigenerational perspectives and ideas around what success and access for Black artists look like in Chicago now. There will be a post-film discussion with select artists, moderated by the film’s creator, Rachel Gadson. The exhibition and corresponding public programs are part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Robert Earl Paige (b. 1936, Chicago) is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator actively making work that challenges the distinction between fine art and craft by combining elements from African aesthetic traditions, modernist painting, Bauhaus architecture, and vernacular invention in his objects, collages, and fabrics. He earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and began his career working for the architectural design firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill before transitioning to creating commercial objects and fashion. He has partnered with commercial enterprises such as the Italian fashion house Fiorio and Sears, Roebuck and Co. department stores to produce scarves and interior decor respectively. His signature line the Dakkabar Collection was sold nationwide in over one hundred Sears stores and included several bedroom and home furnishing pieces inspired by West African imagery with a contemporary palette in the 1970s.

Paige participated early in the Black Arts Movement, and believes strongly in its ideology of community participation in art and culture, which continues to be of focus in his pedagogy today. He has taught art and design principles to youth through Gallery 37 (Chicago) and is a frequent lecturer with the nomadic Black Arts Movement School Modality. Paige has been an artist-in-residence for many organizations, including the Cabrini Green neighborhood alliance, DuSable Museum of African American History, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Ndebele Foundation (South Africa), and Hyde Park Art Center.  Works by Robert Paige have been exhibited at Salon94 Design and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, and in Chicago at the SMART Museum of Art and the Chicago Cultural Center, among others.

This group exhibition considers the ways artists engage our complicated relationship to time, history, and archives. The phrase “where a knot begins and ends” conveys the challenges faced by the exhibiting artists who represent the 2024 cohort of New Edition, a two-part class developed by the Art Center for artists to learn and make work in a medium that is new to their practice. Curated by Program Facilitator, Jeff Robinson, the exhibition features the work of Alexandra Antoine, Dawn Brennan, Teresita Carson Valdez, Kittisak (Wa) Chontong, Mary Farmilant, Tanya Gill, Malika Jackson, Kara Cobb Johnson, Caitlin Ryan, and Molly Roth Scranton, each of whom present work in their characteristic medium alongside new artwork made during the 10-week program.

Artists, archivists, and curators will discuss the state of Black artists, artist communities, and movements across history and how the overlooked contributions of Black artists have led to movements like AfriCOBRA and the Black Arts Movement, in which Robert Earl Paige was a critical figure. This discussion will speak about the existence, and non-existence, of Black artists in larger art movements, and how artists today are re-contextualizing history and paving their own way for visibility in the contemporary art world. Panelists include Parapluie exhibition artist, the sculptor and muralist Bernard Williams; Antawan I. Byrd, curator; and archivist Skyla S. Hearn. The conversation will be moderated by art historian and Black Arts Movement School Modality Founder, Romi Crawford.

Robert Earl Paige (b. 1936, Chicago) is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator actively making work that challenges the distinction between fine art and craft by combining elements from African aesthetic traditions, modernist painting, Bauhaus architecture, and vernacular invention in his objects, collages, and fabrics. He earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and began his career working for the architectural design firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill before transitioning to creating commercial objects and fashion. He has partnered with commercial enterprises such as the Italian fashion house Fiorio and Sears, Roebuck and Co. department stores to produce scarves and interior decor respectively. His signature line the Dakkabar Collection was sold nationwide in over one hundred Sears stores and included several bedroom and home furnishing pieces inspired by West African imagery with a contemporary palette in the 1970s.

Paige participated early in the Black Arts Movement, and believes strongly in its ideology of community participation in art and culture, which continues to be of focus in his pedagogy today. He has taught art and design principles to youth through Gallery 37 (Chicago) and is a frequent lecturer with the nomadic Black Arts Movement School Modality. Paige has been an artist-in-residence for many organizations, including the Cabrini Green neighborhood alliance, DuSable Museum of African American History, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Ndebele Foundation (South Africa), and Hyde Park Art Center.  Works by Robert Paige have been exhibited at Salon94 Design and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, and in Chicago at the SMART Museum of Art and the Chicago Cultural Center, among others.

Mark Me, Too is a group exhibition curated by Dr. Rikki Byrd who introduces the concept of “mother marks” in the work of contemporary artists. She defines these marks as gestures or imprints in artists’ work that illustrate difficult histories, reorient ideals of beauty, or foster connections, and resemblances. The concept is inspired by a scene in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, in which Sethe’s mother tells her “you can know me by this mark.” The exhibition will bring together a cohort of artists working across mediums whose work explores concepts of motherlands, mothering, and foremothers who have been erased or who artists draw on to trouble visualizations of the iconic mother figure. Dr. Rikki Byrd is the 2024-25 Radicle Curator-in-Residence at Hyde Park Art Center.

Artist Brian Parris, Ceramics Department Head at the Art Center, introduces his work alongside collaborations with his students in his first Chicago exhibition, Layerscapes. The artist considers clay a tool for creating functional objects that beautify everyday chores. Using unique spray-painting techniques to layer glazes onto porcelain plates and cups, Parris' distinct surface treatment is an abstraction of the world around him inspired by his birthplace of New York City and his upbringing in the Pacific Northwest. Each year, emergent artists apply for a year-long ceramics apprenticeship working alongside artists in the Art Center’s ceramic studio. The new work created during that time will be featured in this exhibition.

Artists, archivists, and curators, discuss the state of Black art, artist communities, and movements across history. Contributions of Black artists have been routinely overlooked, appropriated, and undermined throughout time, which has led to movements like AfriCOBRA and the Black Arts Movement.  How are artists today contextualizing history and paving their own way for visibility in the contemporary art world? This discussion, held in conjunction with the exhibition The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige, will speak about the existence (and non-existence) of Black artists in art movements.Panelists include artist, sculptor, and muralist from the Parapluie exhibition Bernard Williams, curator Antawan I. Byrd, and archivist Skyla S. Hearn. The conversation will be moderated by art historian and Black Arts Movement School Modality Founder, Romi Crawford.  The exhibition and corresponding public programs are part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

The phrase where a knot begins and ends” conveys the challenges faced by the exhibiting artists who represent the 2024 cohort of New Edition, a program developed by the Art Center for artists to learn and make work in a medium that is new to their practice.

Join 4 of the exhibiting artists for The Material Dictates Itself, a discussion facilitated by Christine Tarkowski featuring Teresita Carson Valdez, Molly Roth Scranton, Malika Jackson, and Kara Cobb Johnson, as they explore the ways that material exploration inspires and drives their practice.

Robert Earl Paige (b. 1936, Chicago) is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator actively making work that challenges the distinction between fine art and craft by combining elements from African aesthetic traditions, modernist painting, Bauhaus architecture, and vernacular invention in his objects, collages, and fabrics. He earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and began his career working for the architectural design firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill before transitioning to creating commercial objects and fashion. He has partnered with commercial enterprises such as the Italian fashion house Fiorio and Sears, Roebuck and Co. department stores to produce scarves and interior decor respectively. His signature line the Dakkabar Collection was sold nationwide in over one hundred Sears stores and included several bedroom and home furnishing pieces inspired by West African imagery with a contemporary palette in the 1970s.

Paige participated early in the Black Arts Movement, and believes strongly in its ideology of community participation in art and culture, which continues to be of focus in his pedagogy today. He has taught art and design principles to youth through Gallery 37 (Chicago) and is a frequent lecturer with the nomadic Black Arts Movement School Modality. Paige has been an artist-in-residence for many organizations, including the Cabrini Green neighborhood alliance, DuSable Museum of African American History, Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (New York), Ndebele Foundation (South Africa), and Hyde Park Art Center.  Works by Robert Paige have been exhibited at Salon94 Design and the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City, and in Chicago at the SMART Museum of Art and the Chicago Cultural Center, among others.

This group exhibition features works by artists who explore the potential of landscape  in contemporary art to contribute to timely conversations about sites of history, belonging, and relationships of labor and land. Working in a diverse range of media, the artists in the exhibition curated by Mariela Acuña reinvent the traditional genre of landscape to explore its possibility to intervene in civic dialogs rooted in place and its histories. Artists include Lydia Cheshewalla, zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal, Norman Long, and Kelly Kristin Jones, Elsa Muñoz and Leticia Pardo.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces Ground Floor, the eighth iteration of the Art Center’s biennial program since 2010 showcasing select work by recent graduates from each of Chicago’s five MFA (Master of Fine Art) programs, on view from December 7, 2024 - March 23, 2025.

The exhibition offers a single destination to view some of Chicago’s most promising emerging talent who graduated in 2023-24 from one of Chicago’s five top-tier MFA programs: Columbia College Chicago (CCC), Northwestern University (NU), The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), The University of Chicago (UofC), and The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Artists represented in Ground Floor include Chelsea Bighorn (SAIC), Sebastian Bruno-Harris (SAIC), Teresita Carson (UIC), Maximiliano Cervantes (NU), José De Sancristóbal Higareda (NU), Kyrin Hobson (UofC), Hillary Johnson (CCC), Janhavi Khemka (SAIC), Betty Kim (UofC), Jules Koreman (UofC), Hien-Minh Le(UIC), Hai-Wen Lin (SAIC), Morisha Moodley (NU), Grace Papineau-Couture (CCC), Carissa Lee Pinckney (SAIC), Katie Revilla (NU), David Sami (UofC), , Aleksandra Walaszek (SAIC), andSangwoo Yoo (SAIC).

Ground Floor presents the work of select graduates made in the past few years to articulate conceptual and stylistic trends coming out of Chicago art schools right now. While their modes of making range the full spectrum in media from performance and film to painting and sculpture, many of the artists in this year’s selection are traversing themes of loss and liberation, alternative archiving methods, and engaging the senses to be more connected and present in defiance of the overwhelmingly isolated state of our world. 

Ground Floor—so named because it provides a crucial platform for rising artists and traverses the entire lower level of the Art Center—gives exhibiting artists a major public venue in which to display their works at a critical juncture in their careers, helping to build, support, and ensure a strong and vibrant community of artists in Chicago.

The nineteen artists in the exhibition were selected by the Art Center’s Ground Floor Selection Committee from a competitive pool of applicants who were nominated by respected Chicago-based artists, curators, and administrators. The 2024 committee includes nationally and internationally renowned artists and educators Dawoud Bey (committee chair), Juan Baños, Paul Catanese, Erin Hayden, Arnold J. Kemp, and Laura Letinsky. The exhibition is curated by Director of Exhibitions and Residency, Allison Peters Quinn, and Exhibitions and Residency Coordinator, Tran Tran.

The exhibition is enriched through a series of public programs, offering opportunities for artists to engage with audiences, and is documented through an illustrated catalog to be released in 2025, which includes a commissioned text by an emerging art writer about each exhibiting artist. 

Participating artist José De Sancristóbal Higareda said, “Being alongside other artists who recently graduated from an MFA program in Chicago feels like finding new peers to share that experience with. It allows for new connections to be made not only with artists but also with curators, organizers, cultural workers, and the expanded community around Hyde Park, shaping each other's work and ideas.”

Participating artist Teresita Carson added, “The Ground Floor Biennial is an incredible platform and opportunity to be a part of a larger conversation. I am eager for audiences to be exposed to my work and ideas inspired by Sci-Fi, Mesoamerican culture, and Indigenous epistemologies.”

This exhibition is generously supported by Northwestern University, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the University of Chicago.

Artworks by Jo Ractliffe and Yonamine included in the exhibition Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica at the Art Institute of Chicago address the Angolan Civil War and its aftermath. For Yonamine, who is Angolan, and Ractliffe, who is South African, confronting this subject through their work has been, in part, a process of discovering the different ways in which it marked their sense of the world. This conversation, moderated by Mariela Acuna, Director of Exhibitions and Residency, will offer insights into how their time in Angola has influenced the two artists' practices.

Yonamine is a Visiting Resident at Hyde Park Art Center (March 4-28).His residency was organized in partnership with the Art Institute on the occasion of the exhibition Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica.

People throughout the Arabian Peninsula are taught to live in relationship with spirits that live beneath the earth called “ahl al ‘arth,” (people of the earth). Kuwaiti-Iraqi artist and art therapist Farah Salemgrew up aware of regular interactions with these spirits. The knowledge that we don’t “exist alone, but rather in relationship with plants, rocks, animals, and unseen forces” drives her artistic practice.

People throughout the Arabian Peninsula are taught to live in relationship with spirits that live beneath the earth called “ahl al ‘arth,” (people of the earth). Kuwaiti-Iraqi artist and art therapist Farah Salem grew up aware of regular interactions with these spirits. The knowledge that we don’t “exist alone, but rather in relationship with plants, rocks, animals, and unseen forces” drives her artistic practice. This exhibition presents new and existing sculpture, photography and installation work that continue the artist’s study and reinterpretation of healing and ceremonial migratory practices of people of the Arabian Peninsula that seek to repair one’s relationship with oneself, the earth, and other beings. Salem created the concept for this exhibition during her Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center (2021) and the exhibition is curated by Mariela Acuña.

Apparent Paths brings together a new series of weavings by Emily Frances Winter. These building portraits utilize the textile language of plaids, stripes and gradients to render sky, earth and architecture. Woven while in residence at the Icelandic Textile Center (Blönduós, Iceland) and Praxis Fiber Workshop (Cleveland, Ohio), the works represent a series of singular moments when light and form and shadow lined up in such a way as to bring the simultaneous specificity and universality of the built environment into view. These building portraits deploy the material qualities of thread and woven structure to address questions of space, light, and volume and a certain type of observation made possible by attention and patience and presence.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces Yasmin Spiro: Cornerstone, the first major solo exhibition of the Chicago-based Jamaican artist, and related free public programming. Inspired by Spiro’s background, the exhibition presents the artist’s ongoing exploration of the intersections between land, body, memory, and architecture, inviting the audience to contemplate the physical and psychological effects of histories of migration and colonialism. Layered with aspects of Jamaica’s ecology, architectural structures, land ownership, and socio-political history, Cornerstone emphasizes the hybridity of the island's culture and people, via immersive new works including sculptures, sound and scent work, and weavings. Yasmin Spiro: Cornerstone is curated by Allison Peters Quinn and runs from April 19 to November 2, 2025; admission is free.


The title work Cornerstone is a new, towering fort-like structure made with cast forms and textile walls designed for visitors to enter. In construction, the cornerstone refers to the first-laid stone of a building, to which all other stones are positioned in relation. Set up at the center of the gallery, the installation—created during Spiro’s 2024 Jackman Goldwasser Residency at the Art Center—connects to three surrounding bodies of work in the gallery, serving as a metaphor for home and the feeling of being grounded in an identity that is shaped by a homeland. Combining burlap, wood, rope, mixed-media cast, and ceramic forms, video, and rural sound, Spiro composes a sensorial environment that elicits comfort and belonging.


The three related bodies of work combine old and new elements from Spiro’s practice within texture, muted organic tones, and sensory-rich materials. The north end of the gallery will feature a 17 ft. long burlap weaving embedded with handmade ceramic bells, found driftwood, and rope that projects a complex lattice of shadows on the wall, offering a new perception of space. On the west wall, six mounted panels align rope compositions next to flesh-toned ceramic tiles made during Spiro’s Arts/Industry residency at Kohler Co. Finally, ropes descend from the ceiling on the south end of the gallery and extend outward, forming a suspended alternative architecture. Through these works, Spiro contemplates the fluidity of land and water, and how people’s relationship to land is shaped by migration, colonial histories, and national identity.


To the artist, buildings are not simply physical structures, but spaces that anchor human experiences, culture, and history. “Materiality is central to the meaning of the work,” explains Spiro. “The cast forms in Cornerstone create an organic, almost fossilized presence that simultaneously emerges from and erodes back into the earth, reflecting how landscapes shift and histories accumulate over time. Pigmented in shades of pink, their fleshy, shell-like tones correspond to the cast porcelain on the walls, referencing the natural landscapes of Jamaica and the layered histories embedded in them. These forms speak to the way places shape us and how we carry them within us.”


This exhibition is part of an ongoing annual series of large-scale artworks commissioned by Hyde Park Art Center, which in the past included new works by Edra Soto, Faheem Majeed, and Lan Tuazon among others. The exhibition will be documented and enhanced through a publication with essays by critic and writer Seph Rodney and curator Allison Peters Quinn. A series of public programs will offer opportunities for audiences to further engage with the exhibition. Yasmin Spiro: Cornerstone is generously supported by the Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation Research and Production Fund.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica by a family from multiple geographies, the interdisciplinary artist Yasmin Spiro approaches cultural identity with a unique perspective. Through her sculptures and installations, she addresses issues of socio-economic imbalance within the framework of urban development and architecture – often through the lens of Caribbean culture. Spiro works in a variety of media from wood, ceramic, natural and synthetic fibers and textiles to performance and video, exploring materiality while investigating the relationship between the body, nature, and the built environment. She attended Pratt Institute and held residences at the Dora Maar Foundation, The Kohler Arts and Industry residency, Vermont Studio Center, and the Chicago Artist Coalition. She currently resides in Chicago.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Farah Salem: Uninhibited People of the Earth, this performance by Farah, Plus Aziz, Ronnie Malley, and Jordan Knecht reimagines the rhythms of healing musical ceremonies, as participants navigate the wounds of diasporic experiences together. The performance centers on an installation of a reconstructed Tanbura (East African Lyre), a central instrument in healing ceremonies. Along with other reconstructed instruments in the exhibition, soundscapes produced in the performance bring audiences the experience of a nervous system regulating after disruption, mirroring this occurrence in traditional ceremonies in the Arabian Peninsula.

Free and open to the public.

The annual exhibition highlights paintings, drawings, photography, ceramics, prints, animation, and multimedia work by young artists participating in Hyde Park Art Center’s Teen programs. Each year, Teen programs provide a structured independence that encourages young artists to develop their creative voices, learn new skills, and build relationships in the context of a community art center, where artists of all ages and backgrounds do the same. The exhibition is a testament to these young artists’ evolution and dedication. They have taken on the challenge of expressing perplexed thoughts, feelings, and emotions into individual works of art. 


So, What Now? is curated by Jules DiGregorio, Exhibitions and Residency Intern, with support from Harley Reid, Teen Programs Coordinator, and Tran Tran, Exhibitions & Residency Manager.

Hyde Park Art Center announces a group exhibition curated by Dr. Rikki Byrd from its first Radicle Curatorial Residency. Inspired by Toni Morrison’s canonical text Beloved, the exhibition’s title Mark Me, Too reflects on how the marks of legacy and heritage are imprinted on the identities of five Black femme/nonbinary artists, told through their personal histories. Spotlighting works by Lisa DeAbreau, Ciarra K. Walters, Lex Marie, Natasha Moustache, and Lola Ayisha Ogbara, the exhibition runs from August 9 through December 14 in the Kanter Family Foundation Gallery on the second floor of the Art Center. Admission is free.

Drawing on their connections to Nigeria, Seychelles, the Caribbean, the Philippines, and the United States, these artists bring a diasporic point of view to mining the marks imprinted on their respective identities. While artists such as Lex Marie and Natasha Moustache offer distinct perspectives to tracing maternal connections and African American histories of motherhood, respectively, Ciarra K. Walters offers an exploration of what she calls \"daughterhood,\" and how it informs her own self-making. Lola Ayisha Ogbara stretches this further in her work, drawing on adornment practices of Black girls and femmes, using acrylic nails, mannequin heads, and jump ropes, offering Black beauty as a form of critique, as well as an art form. Continuing the consideration of maternal lineage, Lisa DeAbreau draws on motifs of respectability and architecture to reflect on memory-making and archival encounters.

Taken together, the artists' responses to the tradition of mark-making are twofold: through the representation of their own hand in the work, as well as marks of migration, movement, hybridity, legacy, and identity. By extending brushstrokes, threads, and unlikely materials––from birthing blankets to egg shells––the artists repurpose materials to reflect on how they carry these marks through their practice. The final works leave seams visible, overturn popular emblems, or obscure materials only to make them palpable under the surface, bringing forth the ways the past is never the past, what Morrison called \"rememory.\"

An opening reception will take place on Saturday, August 9, 2 - 4 p.m., free and open to all with no registration required.

Mark Me, Too and Dr. Rikki Byrd’s residency are made possible due to the generosity of the Guida Family Fund for Creativity. The Radicle Curator is rooted at the Art Center for a sixteen-month period to participate in programs with the cohort of resident artists, conduct studio visits with artists around Chicago pertaining to their curatorial interests, and be in critical dialog with the Exhibitions and Residency team to curate an engaging group exhibition that addresses pressing civic issues of the time.

In this performance, artist Ciarra K. Walters slowly puts on her Fragility Suit, made up of pantyhose and cracked eggshells. As she stretches her body in it, the suit begins to rip, and the eggshells fall to the floor, creating crunching and clinking sounds with each move Walters makes. Once the suit is completely on, she presses her body against walls and other surfaces to crush every eggshell. This performance helps the artist and audience face what most cannot: our fragility and fragile existence. This performance is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Mark Me, Too, curated by Dr. Rikki Byrd. The performance will be followed by a conversation between the artist and Dr. Byrd.

Carnival brings together a new body of work by Vesna Jovanovic, inspired by her interest in medieval French carnivals and other festivals from around the world in which social ranks and identities are ignored and concealed, allowing participants to connect through food, dance, laughter, and sexual expression.


In the group of paintings exhibited, all created in the past three years, the artist playfully renders invented spaces in which the body is both setting and subject—collapsed into unexpected relationships with objects that bring joy and pleasure. Jovanovic’s process begins by pouring diluted ink onto sheets of Yupo (a synthetic paper made of polypropylene). Once the ink is dried, the artist responds to the texture by painting candy, sparklers, confetti, sex toys, jingles, and much more across the fleshy surfaces–prioritizing relationships that evoke attraction, repulsion, laughter, and recognition.


Eye of Providence, 2025, Ink, vinyl paint, and acrylic pen on polypropylene, 60 x 60 inches.

Hyde Park Art Center announces Mutuality, a group exhibition of new works culminating the Art Center’s biennial Center Program, a professional development program for the elevation of emerging and mid-career artists, now in its 11th edition. Curated by writer, curator, and art administrator Teresa Silva, this exhibition will occupy the entire first floor galleries from December 12, 2025 – March 8, 2026, featuring works by twenty artists from Center Program’s 2025 cohort.

The Mutuality exhibition brings together artists whose diverse works were created in a rigorous and continual context of self-reflection and dialogue over the course of nearly a year: Bethany Cordero, Amethyst J. Davis, Caitlyn Doran, Josué Esaú, Richard Gessert, Jalen Hamilton, Juan Molina Hernández, Amay Kataria, Millicent Kennedy, Deborah Kraft, Dawn Liddicoatt, Charlotte Mays, Kelly McKaig, Gabriel Moreno, Vida Sačić, Carlos Salazar-Lermont, Eugene I-Peng Tang, Carina Vargas-Nuñez, Frank Vega, and Katie Vota. Artworks in the exhibition represent a multitude of disciplines ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture and installation to photography and video to fiber and printmaking to performance and sound.

The exhibition defines mutuality as demonstrating mutual care and interest as artists and people to think about how intentions, works, and practice impact the world. Throughout the program, mutuality guided the weekly presentations and conversations among the artists to take their work to a new level. The exhibition gives shape and form to mutuality as a creative process, emphasizing that dialogue and connection drive inspired development.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, proudly presents a free public Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration MLK DAY 2026: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY on Monday, January 19, from 11 AM – 4 PM at 5020 South Cornell Avenue. Eclectic programming for all ages blends live music, thought-provoking film, artmaking, and meditation, to highlight art as a vessel for collective memory, liberation, and joy, while reflecting on Dr. King’s profound impact on social justice and cultural movements. Registration is recommended at HydeParkArt.org.


“Chaos or Community” is drawn from Dr. King’s final book, Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? (1967). Written during the last years of his life, the book captures Dr. King’s most visionary and radical thinking. In it, he reflects on the progress and challenges of the Civil Rights Movement and asks whether society will continue down a path of chaos—marked by racism, poverty, and war—or choose community, a future grounded in justice, equity, and love.


Nearly sixty years later, Dr. King’s question reverberates with renewed urgency. Today people live in a time when the forces of division, greed, and dehumanization persist—where systems of race, class, and immigration continue to shape who is seen as deserving of dignity, safety, and belonging. The struggle for liberation is far from over. To choose community today means to confront these hierarchies directly—to dismantle the imperial and economic powers that privilege the few while exploiting the many, and to imagine a world rooted in care, reciprocity, and collective freedom. Art, in this context, becomes more than expression—it becomes a form of resistance, a language of possibility, and a testament to shared humanity. Creativity cultivates joy not as an escape from struggle but as a strategy for survival and transformation. This year’s celebration takes inspiration from Dr. King’s enduring call, transforming his question into a day of art, reflection, and action—a collective reminder that liberation is both a personal practice and a communal act of creation.


The free public programming is as follows:


11:00 – 11:30 AM | Meditation + Opening Ceremony

Camille Smith facilitates a grounding session of breath and stillness to open the day. This collective meditation honors rest as resistance and sets the tone for a day of reflection and renewal.


11:30 AM – 2:00 PM | Community Artmaking Activities

Malika Jackson leads a screen-printing session from 12:00 – 2:00 PM, for participants to print and take home a limited-edition design by Jackson celebrating unity, resilience, and collective creativity. From 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM, Rhonda Wheatley collaborates with community members to create “Ephemeral Mural,” a large-scale, mixed-media mural using recycled and found materials, andVeronica Casado Hernández leads a collage portrait workshop “Radical Dreams: The Collage of Us” for families and young artists to create portraits of friends, family, or pets using colorful, playful materials, in celebration of individuality, joy, and belonging.


12:00 - 12:30 PM | Exhibition Tour: Mutuality

The 2025 Center Program cohort of artists leads a guided tour of their exhibition Mutuality, exploring care, reciprocity, and interconnection in artistic practice.


1:00 – 1:45 PM | Performance by Amari Amai

I Heard The Voice is a performance in honor of King's distinct poetic voice that swelled the calmest streams and quelled the most ferocious despair. Using storytelling, dance, hymns, soundscapes and projection, Amai will take the audience on a journey through the 1968 West Side riots following King's assassination in hopes of landing on sweeter mountaintops of collective healing, release, and renewed joy.


1:45 – 2:15 PM | Music Performance by AACM

The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) will present new works, creative music ensembles, and intergenerational performance that honors King’s enduring legacy through sound, reflection, and community engagement.


2:30 – 3:15  | The Treehouse Listening Party with Willow James

An intimate listening experience rooted in Afrofuturist principles of rest and dreaming. This special edition of The Treehouse centers on Dr. King’s late writings—his opposition to the Vietnam War, his rethinking of integration, and his book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Guests are invited to bring snacks, tea, or simply their presence to rest and reflect together.


3:00 – 4:00 PM | \"Making The Short Documentary\" workshop

HPAC and Pentimenti Productions present a short film profiling the inaugural Resilience Arts Festival. A collaboration between the Mud Theatre Project and the Chicago Torture Justice Center held in Hyde Park in October, the four-day arts and theatre festival focused on the human experience of people impacted by the criminal legal system. The student-made film explores themes of incarceration, re-entry, and healing.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, is proud to announce Yoonshin Park: Prompt and Prompted, an exhibition highlighting the artist’s, as well as her students’, experimental ways of creating artist books that push the boundaries of what books can be. On view from January 24-May 10, 2026, the exhibition offers hands-on experiences for the audience to make their own artist books on multiple dates throughout the duration. Both the exhibition and the public programs are free and open to the public.


An artist book is an artwork that reimagines or transforms the form, function, or concept of a book into an expressive medium. For more than two decades, Park has used artist books as an experimental form and conceptual space to expand what books can be. For Park, the medium offers freedom that invites alternative ways of living other aspects of life, and invites the audience to live their lives as expansively as Park defines artist books. This exhibition presents new works that further her exploration of artist books as spatial, symbolic, and participatory sites capable of engaging notions of memory, marginality, translation, and transformation.


More than a creator, Park is an arts educator of the medium. Since 2019, she has been teaching courses on artist books virtually through the Art Center’s Oakman Clinton School + Studios, and has found her practice of teaching to be as generative for her as it is for her students. The title of the exhibition refers to the reciprocal exchange that takes place in Park’s classroom. The exhibition includes artworks by 12 of Park’s students, including Kimberly Bailey, Miriam Bisby, Priya Deb, Devie Dragone, Bryne Hadnott, Rebecca Kelly, John Michael Korpal, Carol Lett, Camille Levi, Sumiah Salloum, Virginia Van Vynckt, and Max Washington.


Park shares how this presentation differs from past work: “This exhibition marks a shift in my practice from intimate, book-inspired gestures to spatial and communal forms, allowing me to explore how books can extend beyond the page. I hope visitors experience the work as an invitation to engage with their own stories and with spaces—both in books and in the gallery—in new ways, noticing how meaning and connection can emerge through shared interaction.”


Free public programs include the following:

Wednesday, January 28, 1pm Artist-led workshop

Wednesday, February 11, 1pm Artist-led workshop

Thursday, February 19, 6pm Artist talk with Yoonshin Park and curator Mariela Acuña

Ann Toebbe’s ongoing series, Cooler by the Lake, is set in Hyde Park. For nearly two decades, Toebbe has lived in this Southside Chicago neighborhood with her husband, working and raising her two daughters and stepson. Toebbe’s domestic paintings explore the people, places, culture, and climate that are woven into her daily routine as a working artist and mother—home, garden, studio, grocery store, bakery, park, and local school. Her densely composed multi-point-of-view vignettes capture the sensory impressions and memory layers accumulated in hours and days spent in Hyde Park, meditating on the realization that this is the neighborhood her children know as home and where Toebbe and her husband will grow old.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, is proud to announce a major solo exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Alison Ruttan. Visualizing the catastrophic impact of global warming on coastal communities, the immersive installation places visitors at the center of a submerged suburban neighborhood to invite reflections on the climate crisis. On view from April 4-July 12, 2026, the expansive exhibition takes up 2300 sq. ft. gallery space with over 160 cast ceramic forms. A free public opening reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026 from 1-4 p.m.

Throughout her career, Ruttan has created many visual representations of massive traumatic events, such as the Gombe Chimpanzee War, the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon, the “Highway of Death” in Kuwait, and the Syrian Civil War. For Ruttan, the labor involved in rendering these events visible is an attempt to emphasize their urgency for herself and viewers. The title The Paradox of Inaction refers to a mistaken belief that doing nothing is risk-free, while in reality, failing to act has consequences, increases risks, and limits ways forward. She hopes the exhibition, which took more than two years to complete, is a call to action for shifting unsustainable habits and preventing further inaction toward climate issues.

Composed of over 160 cast ceramic forms, this installation is arranged in low-lying platforms throughout the gallery. At first glance, the ceramic forms appear abstract; seen collectively, they create the illusion of a submerged suburban neighborhood. Works from Ruttan’s earlier series High Water (2023 - 2024), a group of miniature ceramic sculptures of flooded homes, will be on view on the second floor of the Art Center, complementing the large-scale installation on the first floor. With an otherworldly appearance, the glazed surfaces of the ceramics are suggestive of pools of blackwater and mildewed walls.

Ruttan shares why she believes an immersive art installation is a powerful tool for change: “To know something is not the same as comprehending it. I work with the belief that art can sometimes do a better job of convincing than facts alone. In looking at a work of art, we allow our intuitive thinking to mingle with factual thinking. We go back and forth between the contemplation of the physical objects' form and the suggested context that exists outside the art gallery. In bridging these different ways of thinking, we often feel we are coming closer to the truth”.

This exhibition is part of an ongoing annual series of large-scale artworks commissioned by Hyde Park Art Center, which in the past included new works by Edra Soto, Faheem Majeed, Lan Tuazon, and Yasmin Spiro, among others. A series of public programs will offer opportunities for audiences to further engage with the exhibition. Alison Ruttan: The Paradox of Inaction is generously supported by the Graham Foundation.

Weeds Grow in All Directions is an exhibition of Cydney Lewis's collage works and large-scale assemblages. Using everyday materials found in her daily life–plastic bags, packing paper, magazine cutouts, as well as rhinestones and textiles–Lewis creates otherworldly landscapes that prompt meditation on the destruction and resilience of the natural world. The works in the exhibition reward close looking—to find the extraordinary in the overlooked, to reconnect with energies around us, and to feel the pulse of our shared ecology through playful wonder and poignant reflection. In this body of work, the resilient weed is both metaphor and guide, challenging our perceptions of the disregarded and revealing the quiet spirit inherent in all natural matter. In Lewis's work, the material world intersects with the realm of elemental spirits, creating a layered tapestry of human emotion and urgent ecological awareness.

Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, is proud to announce Jeff Carter: The Singer Pavilion Project, on view June 6 – September 20, 2026. Exploring the historic and architectural significance of the Singer Pavilion—the only building remaining of the former Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in Bronzeville, the exhibition prompts critical reflection on the Modernist promise of social progress, and considers how architectural ideals are compromised by histories of institutional failure, abandonment, and inequality.

Since 2020, Carter has developed an extensive body of work exploring the site, history, and significance of the Singer Pavilion, a structure he refers to as a “Modernist ruin.” The exhibition presents eleven artworks, including sculptures, digital images, sound works and installations. Several artworks in the exhibition are made using materials extracted from the abandoned site: a waiting room chair, vinyl records, and native plants that have reclaimed the neglected landscape. The excavated materials were transformed into sculptures and conjure both the life in and around the building during its active years as a psychiatric institute (1948-2009) and the building’s dereliction following the hospital’s closure in 2009. A series of ‘zines developed in collaboration with artists with connections to the hospital and the surrounding Bronzeville community will be included.

Founded in 1881, Michael Reese Hospital was a major research and teaching hospital, and one of the oldest and largest hospitals in Chicago, providing care to all people regardless of religion, nationality, or race. Its architecture, whose designers included Walter Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus School, is considered by preservationists to hold historic value.

Since its inception in 1939, Hyde Park Art Center has grown from a small collective of artists to establishing a strong legacy of risk-taking and experimentation, emerging as a unique Chicago arts institution with social impact. Today, the Art Center offers a diverse suite of programs for artists and art lovers of all backgrounds, ages, and stages in their careers including: contemporary art exhibitions in six galleries; an open-access community-based school with 2,000 annual enrollments; weekly arts education to 1,000 elementary school students in public schools; weekly and summer teen programs for 100 teen artists; professional-advancement programs for artists; a local and international artist residency; and public programs that connect residents with Chicago art and artists. The Art Center’s Oakman Clinton School + Studio is the nation’s first fully contribute-what-you-can visual art school for all ages. The Art Center functions as an amplifier for creative voices of today and tomorrow, providing the space to cultivate new work and connections. For more information, visitwww.hydeparkart.org.

Teen Show","starts_at":"2026-06-27 00:00:00","ends_at":"2026-10-11 00:00:00","body":"

The annual exhibition highlighting paintings, drawings, photography, ceramics, prints, animation, and multimedia work by young artists participating in Hyde Park Art Center’s Teen programs opens June 27!

Each year, the Teen programs provide a structured independence that encourages young artists to develop their creative voices, learn new skills, and build relationships in the context of a community-based art center, where artists of all ages and backgrounds do the same. 

The exhibition celebrates the evolution of these young artists, who have taken on the challenge of expressing perplexed thoughts, feelings, and emotions into individual works of art.

Hyde Park Art Center is honored to host two inspiring evenings of performance art, presented by ten dynamic artists who have spent the past ten weeks immersed in creative exploration. This culminating showcase is the result of the Bridge Performance Incubator, a professional development program designed to spark bold ideas, nurture embodied practices, and support the creation of new work. Through a seminar-style course, artists engaged in deep dialogue, collaboration, and experimentation—receiving critical resources and guidance to evolve their practice and bring new or developing projects to life. This showcase celebrates their journey and the vibrant, ever-growing performance art community in Chicago. The Bridge Performance Incubator is made possible by the Guida Family Fund for Creativity.
