SUMMARY:Everybody's Art: Free Art Making Workshops
DESCRIPTION:As a nod to Robert Earl Paige’s community art practice and our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the Art Center is hosting all ages art making workshops on the South Side and across Chicago facilitated by our Community Engagement Fellow\, Keny De La Peña. \nJoin us at National Museum of Mexican Art for a workshop on August 11th! \nThis event is made possible by support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. \n  \nAbout the Exhibition:  \nThe largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago.  In addition to the fabric work made over the past sixty years\, the exhibition will debut recent clay\, wall/floor paintings\, drawings\, and collage work made during his Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center in 2022-23. \nThe exhibition\, corresponding public program and upcoming catalog is 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. \nRobert Paige approaches art and craft as a joyful choreography between practical invention and material research. The fluid lines\, intense colors\, repeating circles and simple balance found in modernist paintings by Wassily Kandinsky\, Sonia Delaunay\, and Lazlo Maholy Nagy for example\, are equally as influential to Paige’s style as the tight basket weaving techniques and symbology of West African cultures\, the textured ripples on tree bark\, and the unfettered improvisations of the Chicago jazz powerhouse the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).  Raised in the Woodlawn neighborhood\, where he still resides\, Paige makes artworks in response to the patterns\, colors\, and materials of everyday Black life. Paige playfully challenges the juxtaposition of art and craft in his hand-dyed textiles\, cardboard collages\, and ceramic tiles to encourage mental and physical liberation for all. \nThe United Colors of Robert Earl Paige is made possible with the assistance of Curatorial Research Fellow\, Gervais Marsh\, Exhibition Assistant\, Yeeseon Chae\, Exhibitions & Residency Coordinator Tran Tran\, Exhibition Designer\, Dorian Sylvain and Textile Specialist\, Frances Lee.

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 to give the viewer a snapshot of multigenerational perspectives and ideas around what success and access for Black artists looks like in Chicago. There will be a post film discussion with featured artists\, Shani Crowe and Shyvette Williams moderated by the film’s creator\, Rachel Gadson. \nAbout The Filmmaker: Rachel Gadson \nRachel Gadson was born and raised on the southside of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Art: with Judith Russi Kirshner and Kathryn Kucera
DESCRIPTION:Please join prominent curator Judith Russi Kirshner and Alice Shaddle’s dear friend\, artist Kathryn Kucera for a guided tour of the exhibition Alice Shaddle: Fuller Circles\, followed by a discussion of the work.   \nAlice Shaddle: Fuller Circles explores Shaddle’s life and work in the context of Chicago’s kaleidoscopic art world from the 1960s into the 2000s\, highlighting her association with Artemisia Gallery for many years. It includes an early\, daring paper sculpture\, remnants from her elaborate floor installations\, boxes with haunting visages\, and elaborate cut paper collages.  \nAlice Shaddle: Fuller Circles\, on view at the Hyde Park Art Center through June 16. The exhibition catalog will be available at this free public program. \nJudith Russi Kirshner \nCritic\, curator\, and educator\, Judith Russi Kirshner retired as Deputy Director of the Art Institute and Womens Board Endowed Chair of Education in 2016. Previously Kirshner served as Dean of the College of Architecture and the Arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago from 1997 to 2013. She was consulting Editor for Into the City: History of Chicago Art and Design eds. M. Taft and R. Cozzolino (University of Chicago Press\, 2018) and authored “Cruelly Bound: Drawing \nand the Archive of Christina Ramberg’s Practice” in The Making of Husbands: Christina Ramberg in Dialogue\, (KW\, Institute for Contemporary Art\, Berlin\, 2019-2020)\, and “Christina Ramberg’s Diary\, 1969-1980\,” for the Art Institute of Chicago’s Christina Ramberg exhibition catalogue\, forthcoming 2024. \nKirshner held the position of Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago from l976 to l980\, and at The Terra Museum of American Art from l985 to l987. Her recent publications include “Carla Lonzi: Encountering American Art\,” in Feminism and Art in Postwar Italy: The Legacy of Carla Lonzi (2021). \nKathryn Kucera \nWhile my interest in making art began in early childhood\, it ebbed during the years when my four young children needed me. During those years I planned and shared experiences of art with my children in museums and through creative projects while my own need to make art mounted to a keen pitch by the time they became more independent. \nIt was then when I enrolled in the Masters Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and embarked on what was a spiritual experience for me. . . After graduation I became an active member of Artemisia\, a buzzworthy women’s coop gallery in Chicago. It was during the 1970s when the spirit of feminism prevailed and influenced my work. \nAt that time I worked obsessively with mixed media on a fairly large scale\, gradually turning to collage\, a medium that corresponded ideally with my life. At that time I was balancing family goings-on along with teaching and traveling. The flexibility and immediacy of working with paper collage in far away places inspired me to capture unfamiliar transitory experiences and fleeting impressions\, ideas. \nAnd since that time my life has become more settled and sedentary. I have turned to the computer as a means of creativity\, and I process my creative ideas and impulses digitally. Doing art digitally excites me and engages me endlessly as I keep discovering remarkable processing capabilities to realize\, even discover ideas in experimental ways.

Composed of visual and sound artist Caleb Yono\, ambient tape improviser Mahnu\, and violinist and singer Johanna Brock. \nAbout Suspended Culture Collective: \nSuspended Culture is an emerging Black art collective based in Chicago\, IL. A Suspended Culture is a culture on pause\, a movement interrupted\, a dream deferred. As a collective of visionaries\, our work together inhabits the liminal space of a dream. Time is no longer necessary here; rather\, time collapses into an ever-expanding radical presence. In a Suspended Culture\, we play. We rehearse the future and we invite love to bind us to what liberates us. A Suspended Culture considers love a revolutionary practice through which it can conjure anything required\, and a Suspended Culture exists in an alternative reality rooted in love. A Suspended Culture embodies Afro-surreal interpretations of Black futures\, embraces the absurd\, and thinks with the body. A Suspended Culture uses pleasure as its map and sinks into the portal of “Yes\, and…”. A Suspended Culture is a moment of rest! \nSTI Testing Sexual Wellness Counseling Provided by Chicago House \nAbout Chicago House: \nChicago House is committed to preventing new HIV transmissions and ensuring that individuals who are faced with a diagnosis are linked to care.

SUMMARY:Everybody's Art: Free Art Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As a nod to Robert Earl Paige’s community art practice and our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the Art Center is hosting all ages art making workshops on the South Side and across Chicago facilitated by our Community Engagement Fellow\, Keny De La Peña. \nJoin us at Intonation\, Mixtape Live Festival for a workshop on June 1st! \nThis event is made possible by support from the Terra Foundation for American Art. \nAbout the Exhibition:  \nThe largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago.  In addition to the fabric work made over the past sixty years\, the exhibition will debut recent clay\, wall/floor paintings\, drawings\, and collage work made during his Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center in 2022-23. \nThe exhibition\, corresponding public program and upcoming catalog is 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. \nRobert Paige approaches art and craft as a joyful choreography between practical invention and material research. The fluid lines\, intense colors\, repeating circles and simple balance found in modernist paintings by Wassily Kandinsky\, Sonia Delaunay\, and Lazlo Maholy Nagy for example\, are equally as influential to Paige’s style as the tight basket weaving techniques and symbology of West African cultures\, the textured ripples on tree bark\, and the unfettered improvisations of the Chicago jazz powerhouse the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).  Raised in the Woodlawn neighborhood\, where he still resides\, Paige makes artworks in response to the patterns\, colors\, and materials of everyday Black life. Paige playfully challenges the juxtaposition of art and craft in his hand-dyed textiles\, cardboard collages\, and ceramic tiles to encourage mental and physical liberation for all. \nThe United Colors of Robert Earl Paige is made possible with the assistance of Curatorial Research Fellow\, Gervais Marsh\, Exhibition Assistant\, Yeeseon Chae\, Exhibitions & Residency Coordinator Tran Tran\, Exhibition Designer\, Dorian Sylvain and Textile Specialist\, Frances Lee. \n

SUMMARY:The People's Ring Shout
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, Honey Pot Performance presents The People’s Ring Shout\, an experimental movement and sound workshop inspired by traditional ring shout rituals. As a core symbol in Honey Pot Performance’s practice\, they engage this early Black Americana form of movement\, song\, and collectivity to explore the power of embodied Black heritage and spirituality. HPP’s exploration of the ring shout derives from their original work Ladies Ring Shout\, an evening length performance and celebration of Black women and femme voices\, that explored themes such as representation\, love\, trauma\, quality of life\, spirituality\, healing\, and defining communities of care.  \nAbout Honey Pot Performance \nHoney Pot Performance is a creative collaborative chronicling Afro-feminist and Black diasporic subjectivities amidst the pressures of contemporary global life. \nHoney Pot Performance enlists modes of creative expressivity to examine the nuances of human relationships including the ways we negotiate identity\, belonging and difference in our lives and cultural memberships. Dismantling the vestiges of oppressive social relationships is part of the work. Through critical performance\, public humanities programming\, and deep community engagement\, we emphasize everyday ways of valuing the human. \nFollowing in the footsteps of cultural workers such as Zora Neale Hurston\, Beryl McBurnie\, Pearl Primus and Katherine Dunham\, Honey Pot Performance forefronts African diasporic performance traditions. We draw upon a central notion found in performance studies\, black feminist discourse and sociology: non-Western\, everyday popular and/or folk forms of cultural performance are valuable sites of knowledge production and cultural capital for subjectivities that often exist outside of mainstream communities.

SUMMARY:Hyde Park Art & Centered
DESCRIPTION:This Mental Health Awareness Month\, we invite you to join us for a free day of wellness activities to center your mind with art\, yoga\, and workshops! \nYoga Class \n11-11:50AM \nJoin yoga instructor\, Carrie McGrath\, of West Town Unwind\, for a free moderate vinyasa flow! Guests are encouraged to bring their own yoga mats. \nWest Town Unwind offers laid back yoga and community events in beautiful and unique venues throughout West Town and surrounding neighborhoods. West Town Unwind partners with neighborhood businesses to offer yoga classes and events with sliding scale prices. Our goals are to: provide a fun space to try something new\, open the door for connection and community\, and inspire and be inspired by each other. \nAbout Carrie McGrath \nCarrie first found yoga shortly after moving to Chicago in 2012; she took a class at a gym out of curiosity and it’s been a love story ever since. She believes yoga feels good as a workout\, but the satisfaction you feel when you go to class and find that you are now able to reach just a little further\, or are finally able to get into a pose that wasn’t previously attainable – that’s the great stuff. For her\, the journey is as satisfying as the individual classes. \nIn late 2020\, Carrie had hip surgery to repair a torn labrum. At first she feared this would prevent her from practicing yoga and limiting exercise\, in general. However\, she found it to be a new challenge that helped her expand her practice\, refocusing more on safe recovery and form rather than just getting a good sweat. \nCarrie’s favorite yoga classes are ones that feel almost like choreography\, seamlessly moving from one pose to another\, encouraging you to forget what you’re doing and just feel good and go with the flow. \nCarrie believes that one’s entry point into yoga can set the tone for how they feel about it in the long run. Her goal is to curate classes that are fun\, accessible to a wide variety of people\, and give students something to connect with or strive for after class. \nWe Felt Everything: Art Making Activity with Lucia Calderon-Arrieta \n12-1PM \nTeaching artist\, Lucia Calderon Arrieta\, will lead participants in a brief needle-felting project where participants will consider the feelings they want to cultivate in their lives. Participants will be prompted to free-write about their feelings\, identify a story or narrative associated with one or two of them\, and create a felt charm to help them carry that intention with them. \nThe People’s Ring Shout \n1-2:30PM \nIn conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, Honey Pot Performance presents The People’s Ring Shout\, an experimental movement and sound workshop inspired by traditional ring shout rituals. As a core symbol in Honey Pot Performance’s practice\, they engage this early Black Americana form of movement\, song\, and collectivity to explore the power of embodied Black heritage and spirituality.

SUMMARY:Curatorial Tours of Spring Exhibitions for EXPO Chicago South Side Night
DESCRIPTION:Join Alice Shaddle:Fuller Circles curators Nicholas Lowe and Lisa Stone; The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige curator Allison Peters Quinn and exhibition artist Robert Earl Paige; and Through the Hot House artist\, Aimee Beaubien for tours of the exhibitions on view. \nAbout Alice Shaddle: Fuller Circles \nDiscover the intricate world of Alice Shaddle (1928 – 2017)\, an artist whose practice centered more than 60 years on paper-based creations in Chicago. Curated by Nicholas C. Lowe and Lisa Stone\, working closely with Dana Boutin\, Shaddle’s son Charles Baum\, and grandson Cain Baum\, the exhibition introduces Shaddle’s ingenious\, original manipulations of paper; including daring papier maché bas relief sculpture; shadow boxes with haunting visages; enigmatically constructed and layered collaged objects; documentation and remnants from Shaddle’s elaborate\, immersive installations with related\, large-scale colored pencil drawings; and her meticulously constructed\, cut paper mosaic collage compositions. The exhibition will reveal Shaddle’s intensive modes of working and inventive use of materials. Among these is a collection of handcrafted collaged notecards with missives to her closest artist friend\, Kathryn Kucera\, revealing her sharp sense of humor and evidence of their deep friendship and support for each others’ creative lives. \nThe exhibition explores Shaddle’s life and work in the context of Chicago’s kaleidoscopic art world from the 1960s into the 2000s\, highlighting her association with Artemisia Gallery for many years\, her life in the George Blossom House\, a residential property in Hyde Park designed by Frank Lloyd Wright\, where Shaddle lived for over fifty years. The exhibition will include interactive programming for all ages and a catalog. \nFuller Circles is informed by a three-year research project into the lives and works of Alice Shaddle and artist/curator Don Baum\, in which exhaustive images and information on Shaddle’s life and work were gathered and organized. Many artists\, scholars\, critics\, and friends of Alice Shaddle and Don Baum were interviewed. The research project was conducted by Shaddle and Baum’s son\, Charlie 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 will coincide with the exhibition. \nAbout The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige \nThe largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago. In addition to the fabric work made over the past sixty years\, the exhibition will debut recent clay\, wall/floor paintings\, drawings\, and collage work made during his Radicle Residency at Hyde Park Art Center in 2022-23. \nThe exhibition\, corresponding public program and upcoming catalog is 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. \nRobert Paige approaches art and craft as a joyful choreography between practical invention and material research. The fluid lines\, intense colors\, repeating circles and simple balance found in modernist paintings by Wassily Kandinsky\, Sandra Delaunay\, and Maholy Nagy for example\, are equally as influential to Paige’s style as the tight basket weaving techniques and symbology of West African cultures\, the textured ripples on tree bark\, and the unfettered improvisations of the Chicago jazz powerhouse the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). Raised in the Woodlawn neighborhood\, where he still resides\, Paige makes artworks in response to the patterns\, colors\, and materials of everyday Black life. Paige playfully challenges the art/craft continuum in his hand-dyed textiles\, cardboard collages\, and ceramic tiles to encourage mental and physical liberation for all. \nAbout Through The Hot House \nAimée Beaubien\, the internationally exhibited artist who has established herself as an educator and peer in the Chicago art community\, 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. These elements symbolize the intricate interplay between ecological\, social\, and cultural dimensions within the vibrant creative community of the Art Center.  \nSince 2015\, Beaubien has been creating a series of site-specific installations loosely centered on the concept of a hothouse—a deliberately hybrid environment designed to nurture rapid development. Expanding on the series\, this exhibition will amaze audiences with Beaubien’s debut innovative technique of drawing on recently cut plant material (like tulips\, sunflowers\, and branches) with a 3D pen using PLA bioplastic filament. The result is a floating landscape of voluminous\, brightly colored sculptures that preserve nature in an uncanny manner. The installation will immerse viewers in a rare garden of strange and enticing forms that remind us of the wonder typically only found outdoors.

DESCRIPTION:This writing workshop covers the genres of Afrofuturism\, Speculative Fiction\, and Science Fiction\, inspired by the work of Octavia Butler.  \nWriters of all levels will appreciate this workshop on developing complex characters.

SUMMARY:The Future is Breath: An Artist Talk on Afrofuturism and Speculative Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about the work of The Alien-Nations and Sovereign States of Octavia E Butler\, exhibition artist\, Candace Hunter and the legacy of Black science fiction writer\, Octavia Butler. The conversation will be moderated by scholar\, Kimberly M. Harmon. \nThe conversation will focus on the shared sense of world-building within Octavia’s literary work and Hunter’s installation. We will also discuss the legacy and impact of Butler\, and Afro-futurism verses Speculative Fiction as a literary genre. \nThe title of the program\, “The Future is Breath\,” addresses the current conversations surrounding the Black Lives Matter Movement while highlighting conceptual ideas relating to the future of Black people and their evolution in lieu of the grief surrounding Black death. \nAbout Candace Hunter \nCandace Hunter\, 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. \nA highly respected artist in the Midwest\, her 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). \nHunter’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. \nAbout Kimberly M. Harmon \nKimberly M. Harmon is a Chicago born mother\, healer-warrior\, dream oracle\, metaphysician\, psychic-medium\, ritualist\, Iyàláwo\, educator-activist\, Transformative Spirit-Life Doula/Coach and interdisciplinary artist with works extensively exhibited in group/solo shows\, various publications including Obsidian Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora\, and private collections including that of Carla D. Hayden\, Librarian of Congress. \nShe is a researcher\, consultant and facilitator in international practice whose Spiritual\, visual\, and written works focus upon ritualized Ancestral (Egun) healing\, dream analysis\, the Orisha\, traditional African healing wisdoms\, rootwork\, the Akashic Record\, reiki\, quantum epigenetics/neuroplasticity\, medical intuitive healing\, herbalism\, animal/non-human communication\, and (r)evolutionary freedom/socio-spiritual restorative justice for Black people worldwide. \nAbout the Exhibition \nIn Chicago‐based artist Candace Hunter’s largest solo exhibition to date\, The Alien‐Nations and Sovereign States of Octavia E Butler\, she explores ideas from Parable of the Sower and Xenogenesis Trilogy (Lilith’s Brood) by speculative fiction author Octavia E Butler (1947‐2006). Hunter presents a new series of collage‐based works\, installations\, video\, and sound works that illustrate the meticulously sculpted worlds Butler imagined in her novels\, examining their significance for Black bodies and future societies. \nWork with synthetic plants\, remnants of an ongoing culinary experiment\, a reading nook\, and imagined portals to other worlds make up what Hunter describes as an “alien lush space.” The exhibition examines the concepts of nationhood\, asking questions about who is other and in what situations do we see people as other to ourselves? How do we become universal? 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.—caa
