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 - 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

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:Chicago Archives + Artists Festival: Embodying the Archive
DESCRIPTION:Join Sixty Inches From Center for the 2024 Chicago Archives + Artists Festival! This year’s festival embraces the theme of embodiment. The 3-day gathering explores the ways archivists and artists preserve the legacies of our communities via talks\, performances\, music\, and workshops. \nThe festival includes its usual offerings\, such as the Archive Roll Call\, an artist-designed Photo Booth (hosted by artist and Sixty Visuals Editor Ireashia M. Bennett)\, and a series of archive digs and unfurlings—a term and format borrowed from Never The Same’s 2013 project Unfurling: Five Explorations in Art\, Activism\, and Archiving. This is also a continued celebration of Sixty’s recently-released book Chicago Archives + Artists Project: Case Studies in Collaboration\, published by For the Birds Trapped in Airports. \nThe space is adorned with a site-specific installation by artist and Sixty contributor Natalia Villanueva Linares\, and with a new mural by artist and Sixty Collective Co-Lead Katia Perez Fuentes. The night closes with a Festival Wind Down featuring BAILAR Y LLORAR 🎭 (a.k.a. DJ Jungyal & Light of Your Vida). \nThis year’s festival is co-curated by Kate Hadley Toftness\, Tempestt Hazel\, and Christina Nafziger. Visit Sixty’s website for the full schedule.

SUMMARY:Chicago Works | Andrea Carlson: Shimmer on Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Carlson (b. 1979\, Ojibwe/European descent; based in northern Minnesota and Chicago\, IL) considers how landscapes are shaped by history\, relationships\, and power. Her artworks imagine places that are “everywhere and nowhere\,” visualizing these shifting yet ever-present dynamics. Grounded in Anishinaabe understandings of space and time\, the works in this exhibition reflect on how land holds memories of colonial expansion and violence\, Indigenous presence and resistance. \nAcross painting\, video\, and sculpture\, Carlson organizes imagined landscapes around one constant: the horizon. This line is reminiscent of her homelands on Lake Superior. It is also a significant art historical trope that artists have employed to depict territories as vast and vacant\, ripe for the taking. Carlson’s prismatic works are not empty: they are densely layered with an abundance of motifs\, making reference to the tactics of colonialism as well as her family and peers\, Ojibwe culture\, and Indigenous sovereignty. Confronting histories of erasure and dispossession\, Carlson proposes that what appears to be lost can be remade\, reimagined\, or otherwise regained. \nAndrea Carlson is the 26th artist to participate in Chicago Works\, a solo exhibition series at the MCA that features artists who are shaping contemporary art in the city and beyond. The exhibition is presented in the MCA’s Turner Gallery\, on the museum’s fourth floor. It is curated by Iris Colburn\, Curatorial Associate.

SUMMARY:Sala: A Living Room of Ideas (S3Ep1)
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to Lumpen Radio 105.5 FM for a live radio broadcast presented by Silvia Inés Gonzalez\, the administrator of POCAS (People of Color Artist Space). This episode features artists from piecemeal\, darien hunter golston\, Bryanna Bibbs\, and Forrest (Ọhịa)Parks\, in discussion about environmental justice\, weaving\, remembering\, foraging\, kinship\, and what it means to be “keepers of the earth.” How does the art of kinship show up in your practice and life? How do you define it? What sites of care do you imagine and work into existence through art\, working with the land\, or ritual? \ndarien hunter golston is a transdisciplinary domestic artist crafting with quilts\, plants\, natural pigments\, weaving\, wax\, and soil. d labors to make refuge\, repair\, rest\, and release possible for Black people between and beyond our ever-present moments of suffering. To honor the expanse of our need for care\, darien’s practice is situated in a queer lens and politic. This perspective honors that erotic power & sexuality are essential in forging ways of living outside of\, or fugitive to\, systems of domination & control. darien’s practice is devoted to experimenting in sensuality\, inspired by Harriet Jacobs’ “loophole of retreat”. His art attempts to create pocket spaces where freedom\, ease\, pleasure\, and play are accessible and present – with a keen focus building joyful kinship with land. These experiments have yielded work in many forms including immersive installation\, participatory workshops\, archive-building\, performance\, curation\, zines\, land stewardship\, and interactive sculptures. darien writes about these experiments in eir newsletter\, piecemeal.   \nBryana Bibbs is a Chicago-based artist who works at the intersection of textiles\, painting\, and community-based practices. Bibbs earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Fiber and Material Studies at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the founder of “The We Were Never Alone Project – A Weaving Workshop for Victims and Survivors of Domestic Violence\,” currently serves on the Surface Design Association’s Education Committee\, and was named one of Newcity’s Breakout Artists of 2024. Bibbs has had recent solo exhibitions at the Chesterton Art Center (Chesterton\, IN) and Tiger Strikes Asteroid (Chicago\, IL). She has had recent group exhibitions at Chicago Art Department (Chicago\, IL)\, Chicago Artists Coalition (Chicago\, IL)\, Elmhurst Art Museum (Elmhurst\, IL)\, Portland Library (Portland\, ME)\, and George Marshall Store Gallery (York\, ME). Bibbs has participated in residencies at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (Gatlinburg\, TN)\, Surf Point Foundation (York\, ME)\, the Lunder Institute for American Art (Waterville\, ME)\, and Chicago Artists Coalition (Chicago\, IL). \nForrest (Ọhịa) Parks is an herbalist\, hacker\, alchemist\, multi-media artist and ancestor-in-training. They come from a long linage of storytellers\, bridgebuilders\, rebels\, revolutionaries\, and curious souls. Crafted from the stories that were passed down to them and from the breath of their elders. Ọhịa believes those parables hold the roadmaps to our collective\, liberated\, and unified futures. These tales filled them with exquisite imagery of past\, present\, and future possibilities. Ancestors\, knowledge-holders and wisdom keepers have gifted them visions of what came before and conjure up visions of what shall come next. Ọhịa has forever been wrapped in their words and encaptured by the novels\, novellas and actions of love that raised them and fed their soul. Ọhịa’s work in all forms is based upon\, led by and in kinship with land\, water\, ancestor and awe. \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 third season includes radio interviews\, public programming\, and an archival self-published zine is supported by Hyde Park Art Center’s Artists Run Chicago Fund as part of Art Design Chicago.

SUMMARY:Opening Passages: a discussion with zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal and Elizabeth Cummings
DESCRIPTION:Presented in conjunction with Opening Passages: Photographers Respond to Chicago and Paris\, this panel discussion features exhibiting photographer zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal\, Elizabeth Cummings\, Director of Pubic Engagement at the Richard H. Driehaus Museum\, and Ladies Who Lit founder Kaylen Ralph (moderator) in a conversation inspired by Ruth Reichl’s “The Paris Novel.” The main character’s personal evolution takes place in 1980s Paris\, while Opening Passages serves as a survey of the contemporary social landscapes of Paris and Chicago. dumas-o’neal’s contributions to the exhibition\, a multi-media reflection on what it means to deepen definitions of self and place through environments that have offered her the most peace and fullness\, and Cumming’s extensive knowledge of art and French history help bridge this work of fiction with reality. Reichl’s use of Édouard Manet’s famous “Olympia” painting factors prominently in this discussion\, but be prepared to take the author’s clever plot device even further\, addressing themes such as bodily and artistic autonomy and the representation of women’s bodies and Black bodies in art history and today. An audience Q&A follows the panel discussion. \n\n\nRSVP is requested.

SUMMARY:The Existence of Black Art
DESCRIPTION:Artists\, archivists\, and curators discuss the state of Black art\, artist communities\, and movements across history. Historically\, the contributions of Black artists have been overlooked\, appropriated\, and undermined\, which has led to movements like AfriCOBRA and the Black Arts Movement\, in which exhibiting artist Robert Earl Paige was a critical figure. This discussion addresses the existence (and non-existence) of Black artists in art movements and how artists today are contextualizing history and paving their own way for visibility in the contemporary art world. Panelists include sculptor\, muralist\, and Parapluie exhibition artist Bernard Williams\, curator Antawan I. Byrd\, and archivist Skyla S. Hearn. The conversation is moderated by art historian and Black Arts Movement School Modality Founder Romi Crawford.

What is the architecture of freedom? \nAn outgrowth of teaching and learning with incarcerated artists and writers at Stateville prison through the Prison + Neighborhood Art/Education Project\, Walls Turned Sideways is an art and community space dedicated to people impacted by incarceration with a focus on collective liberation\, healing\, and abolition. The organizers seek to more deeply engage the wider community of people impacted by incarceration—the family\, friends\, and loved ones of people who are currently incarcerated. \nSarah Ross is an artist whose work is centered on the spatial politics of race\, gender\, class\, and control. Her projects use photo\, video\, and installation\, and she works collaboratively with other artists and communities. Since 2006\, Sarah has been working with incarcerated artists in Illinois prisons. In 2011\, she co-founded the Prison + Neighborhood Arts/Education Project (PNAP)\, a cultural project that brings together artists\, writers\, and scholars in and outside Stateville prison to create public projects. For more than a decade the project has hosted exhibitions and painted community murals around the city of Chicago. Also since 2011\, Sarah has worked closely with local artists\, activists\, lawyers\, torture survivors\, and scholars on Chicago Torture Justice Memorials—a campaign for reparations for survivors of Chicago police torture. This project developed\, in part\, as a call to artists to imagine a memorial\, and ended with a historic reparations package for survivors of torture by Chicago Police under former Commander Jon Burge. In 2024 with Pablo Mendoza\, she opened a gallery and community space on Chicago’s West Side called Walls Turned Sideways\, dedicated to artists and communities impacted by incarceration.  \nPablo Mendoza is a proud father and lifelong student. He is a staunch advocate for the poor and disenfranchised with an eye towards a more equitable tomorrow. Pablo is a prison abolitionist who struggles against the privileges imbued upon him by society.  Pablo is directly impacted\, having served 22 years within the Illinois Department of Corrections. He’s currently a co-director of Walls Turned Sideways. He is also involved with several other campaigns throughout the state\, including the University of Illinois Education Justice Project Reentry Guide Initiative\, Freedom To Learn Campaign\, Illinois Coalition for Higher Education in Prison\, Illinois Reentry Alliance for Justice\, Fully Free Campaign\, and others. \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 third 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.
