SUMMARY:Alice Shaddle: Fuller Circles
DESCRIPTION:Discover the intricate world of Alice Shaddle (1928–2017)\, an artist whose practice of more than 60 years in Chicago centered on paper-based creations. Curated by Nicholas Lowe and Lisa Stone\, the exhibition introduces Shaddle’s ingenious\, original manipulations of paper\, revealing her intensive modes of working and inventive use of materials. The exhibition explores Shaddle’s life and work in the context of Chicago’s kaleidoscopic art world from the 1960s through the 2000s\, highlighting her long association with Artemisia Gallery and her life in the George Blossom House\, a residential property in Hyde Park designed by Frank Lloyd Wright where Shaddle lived for more than 50 years.

SUMMARY:The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige
DESCRIPTION:Longstanding artist\, educator\, and designer Robert Earl Paige believes beauty should be accessible all around us for everyone to experience. This exhibition presents a survey of textiles\, drawings\, tiles\, prints\, and other works that spans over half a century of Paige’s prolific creative practice and aims to encourage us to make art every day. The solo show is the largest presentation of the Chicago native’s work to date\, featuring Paige’s popular fabric work while debuting recent clay\, wall/floor paintings\, and collage work made during his Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center in 2022–23.  \nParapluie\, a companion exhibition in an adjacent gallery\, 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.

SUMMARY:Parapluie
DESCRIPTION:As part of The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the Hyde Park Art Center presents this companion exhibition 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. \nOver the years\, Paige has amassed a group of makers and friends\, who he deeply admires and respects for their commitment to craftsmanship\, object invention and advice. This exhibition highlights functional and sculptural artwork selected by Paige and made by artists Lori Bartman\, Matty DeVita\, Espi Frazier\, Malika Jackson\, Turtel Onli\, Brian Parris\, Tony Smith\, Dorian Sylvain\, and Bernard Williams. \nThe idea of the parapluie is inspired by the Omega Workshops (London 1913-1919)\, an applied arts company that sold objects and fabrics by artists and designers to erase boundaries between decorative art and fine art with a modernist aesthetic.  In conjunction with his solo exhibition\, Paige invited these artists to present their work that relates to his enthusiasm for color\, pattern\, and purpose-driven design. There is no hierarchy between art\, craft\, design and function in this exhibition. Instead\, the artists included in Parapluie uphold the idea that beauty is all around us and should be accessible to everyone.

SUMMARY:Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People
DESCRIPTION:Architecture creates an indelible mark on the landscape; buildings speak to the culture of the people. We are tied together by the stories of our lives and the places we’ve experienced\, marking indelible moments in time. The GREYSTONE Collective is an established Home + Studio for Black Queer + Trans Makers. Indelible ORIGINS celebrates the odyssey of Place + People preserved in the built environment of an early 19th-century “GREYSTONE” as a cultural laboratory located in the heart of Bronzeville\, Chicago’s landmark Black Metropolis. \nIndelible ORIGINS | Place + People is a four-part public engagement series (The BLACK Domestic Living & Dining Roomscapes\, Venerate! Venerate!\, Why WE are Here\, THE Artisanal Roomscape LABORATORY)\, organized by Founder | Creative Placemaker Clemenstien Love\, celebrating the identity and creative narratives of The GREYSTONE Collective’s artists\, makers\, and guest collaborators while establishing ancestral ties to the neighborhood’s historical Black makers—Ida B. Wells\, Richard Wright\, Gwendolyn Brooks\, and Margaret Burroughs. Through its combined histories (who\, what\, why\, how and where)\, The GREYSTONE Collective endeavors to have a cultural impact on Chicago’s South Side—today and tomorrow.   \nIndelible ORIGINS | Place + People is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago. \nPlease email The GREYSTONE Collective to make an appointment to view the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:This retrospective celebrates the remarkable career of Christina Ramberg (1946–1995)\, best known for her stylized paintings of fragments of the female body that critique physical and social constraints. Ramberg’s work\, a hallmark of Chicago Imagism\, stands out with its gripping yet enigmatic aesthetic\, evolving from early technical depictions of women’s hairstyles to mature pieces exploring truncated female torsos bound within garments for the male gaze. This survey features approximately 100 works from public and private collections that span the artist’s career\, including 65 paintings\, traditional and experimental quilts\, and works on paper. Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective is the first comprehensive monographic exhibition mounted after the artist’s death nearly 20 years ago.

SUMMARY:Opening Passages: Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris – 6018North
DESCRIPTION:Presented at 6018North in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood\, this exhibition is part of Opening Passages: Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris\, It features the works of the five photographers who explore notions of frontier\, immigration\, and diasporic identity. Jonathan Michael Castillo and Gilberto Güiza-Rojas focus on the notion of work\, Rebecca Topakian and Marion Poussier question the border or margin\, and Marzena Abrahamik takes an interest in the Polish community in Chicago. Each of them\, in their own way\, highlights multiple\, fragmented\, or superimposed life trajectories. These works find a particular echo in the Edgewater neighborhood\, which is characterized by the cohabitation of communities of very diverse origins. \nIn her series Return\, Marzena Abrahamik (Chicago)  chronicles stories of migration in reverse. After decades of building a life in Chicago\, some Polish immigrants are returning to Poland in retirement to access lower costs of living and a public healthcare system. \nSince 2017\, Jonathan Castillo (Chicago) has been photographing immigrant-owned shops across Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. The series resists the classifying impulse of a documentary survey\, instead offering an eclectic mix of the people and places he encounters in his exploration of the city. \nIn Gilberto Güiza-Rojas’ (Greater Paris) series Territoire-Travail (Territory-Work)\, workers perform an idealized vision of manual labor superimposed against remote urban backdrops. The artist staged these tableaus in and around centers that retrain newly arrived immigrants to France for new jobs\, which are typically lower ranking compared to their former roles. Individuals re-enact gestures tied to their former occupations against transformed settings\, hinting at the vestiges of their former lives.  \nMarion Poussier’s (Paris) work as a photographer was interrupted by Covid-19 lockdowns in France\, limiting her to a one-kilometer radius around her home. Working within this constraint\, she explored areas near the Canal Saint-Denis\, capturing people and daily life along the water in Aubervilliers\, a rapidly changing area of Paris.  \nOriginating from Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia\, rose-ringed parakeets first entered Paris in the 1970s through a cargo accident at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Artist Rebecca Topakian (Yerevan\, Armenia and Paris) has created an installation around these parakeets that combines photographs of found feathers arranged as a grid paired with images of birds captured mid-flight.  \nProduced by Villa Albertine\, Opening Passages is a city-wide\, multi-site photographic exhibition featuring recent works by ten American and French artists who are interested in the dynamic social landscapes of Chicago and Paris. Selections from all participating artists are currently on view together downtown at the Chicago Cultural Center\, while site-specific installations like this one highlight intersections between artists whose work resonates with similar themes or particular areas within each city.

SUMMARY:Opening Passages: Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris - Experimental Station
DESCRIPTION:Presented as part of Opening Passages: Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris\, this outdoor installation takes place at Experimental Station in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood. It shows photographs by two artists living and working on Chicago’s South Side\, zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal and Tonika Lewis Johnson\, with a series of images produced along the Paris transit system by Assia Labbas. Together\, these images invite us to reflect on how the histories of racial and socioeconomic division within each city have shaped the relationship between center and periphery and the particular connection each of us has to public spaces.   \nzakkiyya najeebah dumas-o’neal creates quietly radical art that advances the possibility of Black autonomy and self-determination from within the historically fraught terrain of landscape art. The artist combines still and moving images of bodies of water with archival images drawn from her own family and other community-built collections on Chicago’s South Side.  \nIn 2018\, Tonkia Lewis Johnson posed a simple question to a group of teenagers of color living on Chicago’s South Side: “Where have you felt that you did not belong?” She made portraits of them in the places they described that she supplemented with audio recordings of their stories. At the invitation of Ateliers Médicis\, she transformed her Belonging series into a transatlantic dialogue about racial divisions in the urban landscape.  \nA Greater Paris-based journalist and artist\, Assia Labbas followed regular commuters on the B line of the RER\, which is a high-speed train service linking Paris to the suburbs. The photographs\, taken through the windows of the train\, reflect the scale of the region’s often striking socio-economic disparities.  \nProduced by Villa Albertine\, Opening Passages is a city-wide\, multi-site photographic exhibition featuring recent works by ten American and French artists who are interested in the dynamic social landscapes of Chicago and Paris. Selections from all participating artists are currently on view together downtown at the Chicago Cultural Center\, while site-specific installations like this one highlight intersections between artists whose work resonates with similar themes or particular areas within each city.

SUMMARY:Opening Passages: Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris - Chicago Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:This multi-site photographic exhibition presents recent works by ten artists who engage with the dynamic social landscapes of Chicago or Paris\, staging a cross-cultural reflection on contemporary life in two global cities. The artists presented are Chicago-based artists Marzena Abrahamik\, Jonathan Michael Castillo\, zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal\, Tonika Johnson and Sasha Phyars-Burgess\, and Greater Paris-based Gilberto Güiza-Rojas\, Karim Kal\, Assia Labbas\, Marion Poussier\, and Rebecca Topakian. \nThe unique approaches of the photographers consider the historic processes of urban redefinition taking place in both cities. Their photography\, whether documentary or poetic\, enables each artist to reflect with accuracy and subtlety the issues and identities specific to each city\, as well as their differences\, similarities\, and the transformations at work. Through a series of events organized in the various exhibition venues in the presence of the photographers\, the exhibition organizers aim to ensure a coherent dialogue between the works and their environment\, to create the conditions for a transatlantic conversation among the artists\, and to catalyze a fruitful exchange with the public. \nThe Chicago Cultural Center hosts the main exhibition\, featuring the work of all ten photographers. Three other venues―BUILD Chicago\, Experimental Station\, and 6018North―exhibit a subset of the artists whose work resonates particularly with the neighborhoods in which these institutions are located and the communities they serve. Related events include screenings\, workshops and conversations.

SUMMARY:Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s
DESCRIPTION:Chicago activists in the 1960s and ’70s used design to create powerful slogans\, symbols\, and imagery to amplify their visions for social change. Designing for Change: Chicago Protest Art of the 1960s–70s features more than 100 posters\, fliers\, signs\, buttons\, newspapers\, magazines\, and books from the era\, expressing often radical ideas about race\, war\, gender equality\, and sexuality that challenged mainstream culture of the time. \nAs racism\, war\, gender inequality\, and LGBTQIA+ discrimination remain enduring issues shaped by today’s complex world\, visitors to the exhibition find works from a new generation of artivists upholding the city’s rich legacy of protest art to fight for social change.

SUMMARY:Sala: A Living Room Of Ideas (S2Ep3)
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to Lumpen Radio 105.5 FM for Sala: A Living Room of Ideas\, a live radio broadcast presented by Silvia Inés Gonzalez\, the administrator of POCAS (People of Color Artist Space). The program features Holly Cahill and Olly Costello in a conversation about what liberated and flourishing futures look like. They discuss the joys of community seed libraries\, local foraging\, and developing a deeper understanding of what decay can nurture. What needs to be composted\, saved\, and planted as we move toward our collective healing? What can emergence teach us about our interconnectedness to land and each other?  What strategies can we adopt from the teachings of our natural environments to be rooted in collective abundance and environmental sustainability? What lessons can we learn from the art of migration\, preservation\, transformation\, and cultivation? What seemingly “small actions” carry us closer to the sacred yearning for life\, living\, and preparing the conditions for the right to thrive? \nHolly Cahill (b. 1976) is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist working between painting\, drawing\, fibers\, sculpture\, and collage. Her process-oriented abstractions gather inspiration and materials from natural phenomena that speak to issues of growth\, transformation\, and embodied experiences that intersect with the ways we navigate the built and natural environments. She is a current member\, former director\, and co-director in Chicago of Tiger Strikes Asteroid: a 501c3 non-profit network of independently programmed\, artist-run exhibition spaces with locations in Philadelphia\, New York\, Los Angeles\, Chicago\, and Greenville\, SC. She has curated exhibitions\, often in collaboration with others\, at venues such as Tiger Strikes Asteroid\, Weinberg Newton Gallery\, Mana Contemporary\, The Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College (Chicago\, IL)\, Satellite Art Show (Miami\, FL)\, and Scotty Enterprises (Berlin\, Germany). \nOlly (they/them) is a white queer illustrator\, PIC abolitionist\, food-growing enthusiast\, and community seed saver\, who is committed to participating in the creative\, collective work of building a liberated and flourishing future for all of us. Through their artistic and community-based practices\, they explore themes of interconnectedness\, spiritual ecology\, emergence\, accountability\, community building\, Prison Industrial Complex abolition\, Transformative Justice\, and belonging. Olly finds direction and purpose in recognizing the power our radical imaginations have in shaping the world we live in and knows that this is one of our most essential tools. Olly hopes their work can be a small contributing part of creating our new culture\, grounded in honoring the inherent value of all beings and pushing us beyond violent cultures of imperialism\, white supremacy\, and capitalism toward a culture of accountability\, collective wellness\, and abundance. \nSala is an ongoing talk series anchoring the stories of artists in Chicago through topics such as grief\, labor\, immigration\, and movement building. The multimedia project\, now in its second season\, includes radio interviews\, public programming\, and an archival self-published zine. It is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago.

SUMMARY:The BLACK Domestic Living & Dining Roomscapes – Closing Reception
DESCRIPTION:The GREYSTONE Collective invites you to the closing reception for Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People: The BLACK Domestic Living & Dining Roomscapes. Featuring two roomscapes\, a living room and a dining room\, the installation explores Black domestic interior spaces worthy of deep investigation and discovery. The exhibition focuses on the home as lived and imagined by Black Americans and centers its history as a site of collecting and archiving.  \nIn Black domestic spheres\, living rooms have historically been sites of community building where activist coalition meetings\, church services\, and holiday celebrations are held. For Black Americans\, the living room is a new space\, a space that became alive after slavery and one that is still not experienced or afforded to all Black Americans. The BLACK Domestic | Living Roomscape speaks to Black familial lineages\, the current political sphere\, and hopes and dreams for Black futurities. It is Co-Curated by Saida Blair and Jordan Barrant\, founders of the Coalition of Black Restorative Artists (C.O.B.RA)\, a collaboration with Black School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) graduate students.  \nFeaturing the work of Chicago artist Shonna Pryor\, The BLACK Domestic | Dining Roomscape presents tablecloths as nostalgic objects that have absorbed and transmitted Black oral histories\, memories\, and experiences\, as much as latent foodstuff. Residual food markings on Black family tablecloths record open-invitation Sunday dinnertime banter superimposing a closed rite of passage called ‘The Talk\,’ a timeless fortification stretching back to ancestral dinner tables of the Antebellum South. This installation is curated by The GREYSTONE Collective founder Clemenstien Love.  \nThe GREYSTONE Collective is an established home and studio for Black Queer + Trans Makers located in the heart of Bronzeville\, Chicago’s landmark Black Metropolis. Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People is a four-part public engagement series that celebrates the identity and creative narratives of The GREYSTONE Collective’s artists\, makers\, and guest collaborators while establishing ancestral ties to the neighborhood’s historical Black makers—Ida B. Wells\, Richard Wright\, Gwendolyn Brooks\, and Margaret Burroughs.  \nIndelible ORIGINS | Place + People is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago.

SUMMARY:La Casa de Todos / Everyone's Home
DESCRIPTION:Comfort Station presents La Casa de Todos / Everyone’s Home\, an exhibition by Chicago-based artist Edra Soto. Soto’s practice draws from her Puerto Rican roots to instigate conversations about history\, diasporic identity\, and constructed social orders. La Casa de Todos builds on her ongoing project “Graft\,” which integrates architectural intervention and social practice. \nWith this public installation\, Soto invites the community to celebrate a shared home together. La Casa de Todos\, or “Everyone’s Home\,” reconfigures Via Chicago Architects + Disenadores’ work titled SCAFFOLD\, transforming its structure by overlapping abstract carved panels and delineating safe zones destined to house public gatherings and moments for celebration. \nThe decorative motifs carved to the panels are directly sourced from representations of rejas (wrought iron screens) commonly found throughout Puerto Rico. The structure’s multicolored palette\, a new approach to Soto’s work\, was sourced from the archipelago’s residential architecture. Her representations of rejas propose and celebrate the cultural value of Puerto Rico’s lower- and middle-class communities. Soto’s works investigate and make visible the relationships between Puerto Rican cultural memory\, its African and Black heritage\, and the threads of colonial historical lineage of the United States. \nBeginning with the exhibition opening on June 15\, Comfort Station is hosting a series of related performances and programming\, many of which are co-produced by the Palenque LSNA neighborhood association of Logan Square. \n  \nComfort Station presenta La Casa de Todos / Everyone’s Home\, una exposición de la artista basada en Chicago Edra Soto. La práctica de Soto extrae de sus raíces puertorriqueñas para instigar conversaciones sobre historia\, identidad en diáspora y ordenes sociales construidos. La Casa de Todos  se desarrolla sobre su proyecto continuo “Graft”\, el cual integra intervenciones arquitectónicas y la práctica social. \nCon esta instalación pública\, Soto invita a la comunidad a celebrar juntes un hogar compartido. La Casa de Todos reconfigura SCAFFOLD\, obra de Via Chicago Architects + Disenadores\, transformando su estructura al contraponer paneles abstractos tallados y delineando zonas seguras destinadas a albergar reuniones públicas y momentos de celebración. \nLos motivos decorativos tallados en los paneles son una referencia directa de las rejas de metal que se pueden encontrar por todo Puerto Rico. La paleta multicolor de la estructura\, algo nuevo en la obra de Soto\, hace referencia a la arquitectura residencial del archipiélago. Sus representaciones de las rejas propone y celebra el valor cultural de las comunidades de clase media y baja de Puerto Rico. El trabajo de Soto investiga y hace visibles las relaciones entre la memoria cultural puertorriqueña\, su herencia negra y africana y el linaje histórico colonial de los Estados Unidos. \nComfort Station está organizando una serie de performances y programas que comienzan con la inauguración de la exposición el 15 de junio. Muchos de estos eventos están co-producidos por la asociación de vecines de Logan Square\, Palenque LSNA.

SUMMARY:Sala: A Living Room of Ideas (S2Ep4)
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to Lumpen Radio 105.5 FM for Sala: A Living Room of Ideas\, a live radio broadcast presented by Silvia Inés Gonzalez\, the administrator of POCAS (People of Color Artist Space). The program features members of Marimacha Monarca Press\, Selva Zafiro Luna and Sarita Maritza Hernández\, with curators of the Amigas Latinas Forever exhibition\, Amanda Cervantes and Jose Luis Benavides\, talking about archives and what it means to be culture keepers of queer stories.  \nHow do we define archives and what is the importance of reclaiming or revisiting the concept of archives? How do queer archives help create spaces for resilience and transformation? What are the connections between the work of Latinas Amigas and Marimacha Monarca Press? How do art practices help us stay in communion/community as we navigate rage\, resilience\, joy\, and resistance?  \nMarimacha Monarca Press (MMP) is a queer & trans familia artist collective based in Chicago’s South Side since 2017. While located in the McKinley Park clock tower\, MMP travels across Chicago to provide workshops in printmaking\, seed paper making\, piñata making\, book-binding\, and zine-making as a means of self publication\, communication\, and reflection. Working alongside themes of queerness\, race\, language\, migration\, accessibility\, and visual storytelling\, MMP’s hope is to illustrate and illuminate the power of collective histories.   \nAmanda Cervantes is a Chicago-based queer visual artist\, curator\, and writer. They center their artistic practice on exploring queer temporalities\, family histories\, and personal archives through image making. Cervantes has exhibited at the Gerber/Hart Library and Archive\, Art at a Time Like This\, Chicago Art Department\, Ontario College of Art and Design\, and Terrain Biennial.  \nJose Luis Benavides is a Latinx and queer photographer\, moving image maker and lecturer for the City Colleges of Chicago. Working primarily with a range of personal archives\, his work explores issues relating to gender\, sexuality\, culture\, and migration. His work has been exhibited at the Gerber/Hart Library and Archives\, the Chicago Art Department\, and the International Museum of Surgical Science.  \nSala is an ongoing talk series anchoring the stories of artists in Chicago through topics such as grief\, labor\, immigration\, and movement building. The multimedia project\, now in its second season\, includes radio interviews\, public programming\, and an archival self-published zine. It is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago.

SUMMARY:La Casa de Todos / Everyone’s Home Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join Comfort Station for the opening of La Casa de Todos / Everyone’s Home\, an exhibition by Edra Soto. The celebration features opening talks\, public viewing\, and a performance by Las BomPleneras. \nSoto’s practice draws from her Puerto Rican roots to instigate conversations about history\, diasporic identity\, and constructed social orders. La Casa de Todos builds on her ongoing project “Graft\,” which integrates architectural intervention and social practice. \nWith this public installation\, Soto invites the community to celebrate a shared home together. La Casa de Todos\, or “Everyone’s Home\,” reconfigures Via Chicago Architects + Disenadores’ work titled SCAFFOLD\, transforming its structure by overlapping abstract carved panels and delineating safe zones destined to house public gatherings and moments for celebration. \nThe decorative motifs carved to the panels are directly sourced from representations of rejas (wrought iron screens) commonly found throughout Puerto Rico. The structure’s multicolored palette\, a new approach to Soto’s work\, was sourced from the archipelago’s residential architecture. Her representations of rejas propose and celebrate the cultural value of Puerto Rico’s lower- and middle-class communities. Soto’s works investigate and make visible the relationships between Puerto Rican cultural memory\, its African and Black heritage\, and the threads of colonial historical lineage of the United States.
