SUMMARY:Words of Wisdom: Connect with the Mind and Art of Robert Earl Paige
DESCRIPTION:One-Day Talk and Workshop – Registration is required. Register Here. \nJoin artist Robert Earl Paige for an afternoon of conversation and art-making in his solo exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Page. Robert will talk about his art\, the wise words he lives by\, and the stories behind them. Later he’ll invite you to share your own words of wisdom by making decorative ‘wisdom art cards’ filled with vibrant patterns much like those in Robert’s work\, followed by a lively discussion! Art supplies will be provided and refreshments will be served. \nTeaching Artist: Rhonda Wheatley (she/her) Bio forthcoming. \nAbout the Exhibition \nThis workshop series is in conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, which surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago. The exhibition\, corresponding public programs\, 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.

SUMMARY:The Material Dictates Itself
DESCRIPTION:Where a knot begins and ends exhibition artists\, Teresita Carson Valdez\, Molly Roth Scranton\, Malika Jackson\, and Kara Cobb Johnson\, explore the ways that material exploration inspires and drives their practice across various media\, and the ways in which they intersect and diverge and inform each other through tactility. With an emphasis on techniques derived from ceramics\, weaving\, and the feminine mystique\, the artists will also speak to the complexity of craft practices that have evolved within the contemporary context. With the hand ever present in the work\, the artists question how objecthood and abstraction informs the interpretation and transformation of the work from its raw to final state. The conversation will be moderated by Christine Tarkowski\, Professor in the Fiber and Material Studies Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. \nThis discussion is in conjunction with our New Edition Professional Pathways program\, which is offered exclusively for alums of Center Program\, one of the Art Center’s capstone development programs for working artists. New Edition challenges a group of ten artists to build on their practice by adding new mediums to their toolbox by enrolling in a course at the Art Center to create new works\, and through participation in weekly seminars. \nRegister to attend here. \nAbout the Artists:  \nTeresita Carson \nTeresita Carson is a Mexican\, Chicago-based artist and award-winning filmmaker working across disciplines\, including moving image\, new media\, and installation.

DESCRIPTION:Notes from The Woodshed Workshop: EveryDay Art Everyday Materials: The History of Everyday Art Now and Then \nDive into the colorful world of shaving cream marbling\, where you’ll swirl vibrant hues to create stunning\, one-of-a-kind designs on paper\, perfect for cards\, art prints\, and beyond. \nThis free all ages art making workshop is led by our Community Engagement Fellow\, Yeeseon Chae. Exhibiting artist Robert Paige will frequently be present to have conversations with participants and answer questions about his work\, art practice\, and life as a designer/educator/fabric man. \nRegister for the workshop here \nThis workshop series is in conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, which surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago. The exhibition\, corresponding public programs 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.

SUMMARY:Materiality & Technique: How do materials shape the process?
DESCRIPTION:Notes from The Woodshed Workshop: Materiality & Technique: How do materials shape the process? \nDiscover the vibrant world of batik in our workshop! Learn the traditional art of wax-resist dyeing on fabric\, as you create stunning patterns and designs. Explore the rich history and techniques of batik and how Robert Earl Paige uses this technique to create artwork. \nThis free all ages art making workshop is led by our Community Engagement Fellow\, Keny De La Peña.  Exhibiting artist Robert Paige will frequently be present to have conversations with participants and answer questions about his work\, art practice\, and life as a designer/educator/fabric man.  \nRegister for workshop here \nThis workshop series is in conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, which surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago.

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.

SUMMARY:Kool-Aid colors: Color Theory in Black Art
DESCRIPTION:  \nNotes from The Woodshed Workshop: Kool-Aid colors: Color Theory in Black Art \nExplore the rich hues of Kool-Aid as a medium to create vibrant watercolor paintings while learning about the significance of color in Black art and culture. Perfect for all ages\, this activity combines creativity with cultural education for a truly unique artistic experience. \nThis free all ages art making workshop is led by our Community Engagement Fellow\, Keny De La Peña.  Exhibiting artist Robert Paige will frequently be present to have conversations with participants and answer questions about his work\, art practice\, and life as a designer/educator/fabric man.  \nRegister for workshop here \nThis workshop series is in conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, which surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago. The exhibition\, corresponding public programs 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.

SUMMARY:Creative Wing Open Studio Night
DESCRIPTION:Meet our Radicle Residents and Creative Wing artists in their studios during our Summer edition of Creative Wing Open Studio Night! Connect with artists\, collectors\, and curators in our community over light bites and refreshments. This event is free and open to all. Radicle Studio Residents are rooted for a year at the Art Center through high-quality\, free studio space where they make work\, research new projects\, have access to the Art Center’s broad International network of artists and resources\, and connect with a dynamic public.  \nMeet the Residents: \nLeila Tamari \nLeila Tamari’s artistic practice currently explores belonging through relationship to place\, identity\, and money. Her work derives meaning through the relationships she develops\, which are created through collaboration and facilitation. She aspires to cultivate a culture of care; so love and play are essential ingredients in her creative endeavors. Some of her past collaborations include exchange/value\, The Sistah Friends Project\, Hyperopia: 20/30 Vision\, and Contracts with Ourselves. \nLeila carries a lineage of people who were the displaced\, as well as the displacers. Her heritage spans African and Jewish diasporas\, and as the daughter of immigrants\, one of her lifelong quests is coming into deeper understanding and relationship to “home.” She is interested in creating pathways to reparations through place-based re-investment\, and she is curious about how art will lead us there. \nLeila founded This Place Works (TPW) – her creative home and consultancy – to live into the many expressions of her art practice. At TPW\, she takes on various roles from artist coach\, cultural strategist/advisor\, organizational healer/facilitator\, and more. Her professional experience spans organizing\, public art production\, and wealth redistribution. \nYasmin Spiro \nYasmin Spiro was born and grew up in Kingston\, Jamaica and currently lives and works in Chicago. Spiro’s work is multi-disciplinary\, primarily based in sculpture and immersive installations\, with video\, drawing and performance – exploring issues of cultural identity and socio-economic issues within the framework of urban development and social politics – often through the lens of Caribbean culture.  \nSpiro’s work explores concepts related to architecture and urbanism\, socio-economics\, futuristic cities\, and craft and culture. Research is often layered with personal narratives connected to both the landscape and culture of Jamaica. Spiro’s body of work explores materiality\, and is often textile based\, and also utilizes wood\, rope\, and cast materials – plaster\, ceramic\, and cement. Creating architectural elements that reference futurism and femininity in our built environments\, her studio practice pulls in various aspects of personal and cultural history to build stories within the work – layered with conceptual research\, and material experimentation.  \nSpiro’s work has been shown at galleries internationally\, recently at the Arts Club of Chicago. Her work has been covered in Art News\, Interior Design\, NewCity\, Washington Times\, Miami Herald and others. She attended Pratt Institute and has held residencies at the Dora Maar Foundation\, The Kohler Arts and Industry residency\, Vermont Studio Center\, and the Chicago Artist Coalition. \nKeith S. Wilson \nKeith S. Wilson is a game designer\, poet\, and interdisciplinary artist. He is a recipient of an NEA Fellowship\, an Elizabeth George Foundation Grant\, and an Illinois Arts Council Agency Award\, and has received both a Kenyon Review Fellowship and a Stegner Fellowship. Additionally\, he has received fellowships or grants from Bread Loaf\, Tin House\, the MacDowell Colony\, Vermont Studio Center\, UCross\, the Millay Colony\, and James Merrill House\, among others. His book\, Fieldnotes on Ordinary Love (Copper Canyon)\, was recognized by the New York Times as a best new book of poetry. Keith’s work in new media includes “Once Upon a Tale\,” a storytelling card game designed for Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago\, and alternate reality games (ARGs) for the University of Chicago. He has worked with or taught new media with Kenyon College\, the Field Museum\, the Adler Planetarium\, and the University of Chicago. \nNatasha Moustache \nNatasha Moustache is a photo-based installation artist whose work explores identity\, shared histories\, and familial ties within colonized spaces. Moustache’s work reflects their experience as a first-generation\, Seychellois-American\, examining African Diasporic ties across oceans and manmade borders. They regularly engage strangers as collaborator-participants\, utilizing portraiture\, and the reimagining of domestic spaces through installation. Moustache is interested in bringing the human community into a conversation with itself that transcends difference and emphasizes commonality.  \nMoustache completed their MFA (2021) at Columbia College Chicago and their BFA (2004) at Simmons College in Boston\, Ma. Their work has most recently been shown at the Vermont Center for Photography\, the Lubeznik Center\, the Hyde Park Arts Center\, the Houston Center for Photography\, and the International Center for Photography. They have had residencies at the Center for Photography at Woodstock and Latitude Chicago. Moustache’s editorial work has been published internationally in academic literature and periodicals. They were a 2021 MOCP Snider Prize Honorable mention and a 2020 Hopper Prize finalist. \nLetaru Dralega \nLetaru Dralega is a Ugandan Jamaican British artist and researcher based in Kampala. Her mixed media process-centered practice is concerned with themes of memory and belonging. She experiments across collage\, painting\, installation\, and sound to create meditative works which probe the material/spiritual dichotomy and ponder postcolonial condition. \nA social scientist by training she studied a Bachelor of Social Sciences (2014) and a Masters of International Development with African studies (2019) at Sciences Po Paris\, France. There she examined global issues\, through sociological\, political and anthropological lenses\, a practice which continues in her research-focused approach to art-making. \nLetaru is an alumna of 32 degrees East Ugandan Arts Trust Kampala (2017) and Asiko Art School Praia (2022). She is a recipient of a Prince Claus seed award supported by British Council and UNDP Uganda’s creative facility grant (2022).

She creates collages\, paintings\, installations\, and performance art. Plainly\, she tells stories. Through the use of appropriated materials from magazines\, vintage maps\, cloth\, and various re-used materials\, she offers this new landscape of materials back to the viewer with a glimpse of history and admiration of the beautiful.  \nDuring the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic\, she began to do two things\, offer free art classes on Instagram and to create what she now calls her “Brown Limbed Girls” – a growing series of whimsical brown girls enjoying their lives. She is extremely happy to share the girls with a new audiences in New Orleans and Northern California. \nCandace has most recently received 3Arts Next Level/Spare Room Award\, the Tim and Helen Meier Family Foundation Award\, the 2016 3 Arts Award\, and was honored by the Diasporal Rhythms Collective.

She has a strong attachment to the creative arts community and is a proud Chicagoan. She attended Florida A&M University where she attained her Bachelors in the field of Graphic Design (magna cum laude); and also studied design\, photography\, and animation at Studio Arts Center International\, in Florence\, Italy. \nA combination of love for the creative arts industry\, and a keen desire to empower artists (specifically artists of color) shapes the trajectory of Rachel’s career and it’s the same fire that keeps her propelling toward her goals. With a portfolio that spans across varying industries with clients like Jewel Osco\, PNC Bank\, Hilton\, Samsung\, and GitHub\, Gadson now dedicates her time creating equitable access for more Black artists. \nThrough her work\, she seeks to expand the narrative of how we begin to create more inclusive environments where the talents and works of Black artists are more visible\, and the appreciation and love of our art is highly regarded. \nAbout Shani Crowe:  \nShani Crowe is an interdisciplinary artist who received her BFA in film production from Howard University’s John H. Johnson School of Communications in 2011. Her work centers on cultural coiffure\, adornment and beauty ritual\, as they relate to the diasporic African\, and how these practices function as tools to foster connectivity. She  is  most  known  for  creating  intricate corn-rowed  hairstyles\,  then  capturing  them  as  large  photographic  portraits.Shani also uses hair and hair related material to create structures and installations. \nShani is part of the ensemble selected to represent the US in the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale\, her  work  and performances  have  been  featured  at  the  Broad  in  Los  Angeles\,  on  Saturday  Night  Live  in  collaboration  with  Solange  Knowles\,  the  Museum  of  Contemporary  African  and  Diasporan  Art  (MoCADA)\,  in  Brooklyn\,  NY\, the  Urban  Institute  of  Contemporary  Art\,  in  Grand  Rapids\,  MI\,  Columbia  University\,  and  Soho  House Chicago.

SUMMARY:The History and Meaning of Adinkra Symbols and Cultural Aesthetics historically and in Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Notes from The Woodshed Workshop: The History and Meaning of Adinkra Symbols and Cultural Aesthetics historically and in Contemporary Art \nJoin us for a creative Adinkra symbol activity! Use stencils and rubbings to design your own vibrant and meaningful artwork\, exploring the rich cultural heritage of West African symbols. Perfect for all ages! \nThis free all ages art making workshop is led by our Community Engagement Fellow\, Keny De La Peña.  Exhibiting artist Robert Paige will frequently be present to have conversations with participants and answer questions about his work\, art practice\, and life as a designer/educator/fabric man.  \nRegister for workshop here \nThis workshop series is in conjunction with our exhibition\, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige\, the largest exhibition of Robert Paige’s work to date\, which surveys the iconic textile designs and painted fabric of one of the most generative artists/designers from the South Side of Chicago. The exhibition\, corresponding public programs 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.

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.

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: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.
