SUMMARY:Opening Reception: 9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:9 Artists/ 9 Months/ 9 Perspectives features works by the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists. \nNine Black women artists engaged in collaborative efforts to create artworks that transcend and transform events in the year 2020. In their eyes\, art-making became a transgressive act through activism\, documentation and vision. Utilizing book-making\, craft-making and works on paper\, 9 Artists/9 Months/ 9 Perspectives presents a birth of vision under hardship felt worldwide\, collectively allowing us to reckon with our own perspectives\, reflections and welfare. This exhibition presents the conception\, gestation\, and birth of a collaborative artists’ books created by nine Black women artists of the collective\, Dandelion Black Women Artists. Their responses\, perspectives\, and reflections were inspired by the continuous struggle for health\, social\, and economic welfare of marginalized people during COVID-19\, the lack of response from the federal government\, and the political allyship of socio-political grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter. Craft-making became a transgressive act through artivism\, perspective\, and vision.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Owen HcHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Owen McHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection\nSaturday\, October 8 – Sunday\, December 4\, 2022\nOpening Reception: October 8 12:00-4:00 pm\nThe Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is delighted to announce Owen McHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection. This exhibition highlights abstract\, non-representational works in UIMA’s Permanent Collection alongside Owen McHugh’s most recent works from 2017 to the present. Artists exhibiting from the Permanent Collection include Corey Postiglione\, Kathie Shaw\, John Hoyland\, Alexander Hunenko\, Martin Hurtig\, Lida Petruniak-Colucci\, Michael Mandziuk\, Irma Osadsa\, William Pura\, and David Samila.\nOwen McHugh is a local Chicago Artist deeply rooted in Abstraction throughout his career. He maintained his M.F.A from Northern Illinois University\, and he taught Two-Dimensional Design as well as painting and drawing courses at Columbia College Chicago for over forty years. His work is in many permanent collections including the National Museum of American Art\, State of Illinois Collection\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL.\nWhile many abstract artists gravitate to working within one stylistic approach in abstraction\, geometric or gestural\, McHugh attempts to bridge the two together. This ambiguous configuration of conflict\, becomes a metaphor of existence for McHugh. In his most recent years\, McHugh developed his own personal process in which he began an arrangement of organic forms that then underwent a transfiguration through repeated overlays and spattering\, modifying coloration and organic shapes in his beginning formations.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: At Home
DESCRIPTION:At Home: Cindy Bernhard\, Ellen Greene\, Ann Toebbe\, Gwendolyn Zabicki\nOCTOBER 8- DECEMEBR 4\, 2022\nThis exhibition presents works by four Chicago artists with a focus on paintings. As the exhibition title suggests\, the show’s premise is about the artist’s exploration of the layered emotional resonance of the concept of home. We have been living in a pandemic when most people have spent an unusually long time in their homes.Conversely\, around the world\, refugees have been forced to leave their homes\, some with the hope of returning and others seeking a new life and home. We are asking the question; what does home mean? Is it a familiarity with the environment\, or is home just an abstract place in our minds?\nIn the atmospheric paintings of Cindy Bernhard\, we can see imaginary interiors with pop culture elements\, food\, and motifs from lifestyle blogs. In her works\, she humorously critiques the nature of artifice and creates a vision of home as she wants to remember it. There are always pets\, a small dog or cat\, to add to the domesticity of the image.\nEllen Greene is looking back at domesticity and motherhood and the time when children are starting to assert their independence and leaving home years later. Some of her oil paintings depict the artist and her daughters. In others\, figures are absent; what remains is a respectable floral wall-papered pattern interrupted with childhood vandalism.\nAnn Toebbe’s paintings are reminiscent of architectural or design drawings\, but she fills them with personal objects worth a closer look. In these obsessively crafted paintings\, we see representations of the resident’s individuality and aesthetic choices. In each work\, furniture selections\, plants\, carpets\, knick-knacks\, and items are left around\, representing a home that cannot be replicated even if one wants to. These unfolded rooms are based on living spaces of the artist’s family\, friends\, and acquaintances\, recreated from memories or photographs.\nIn the works of Gwendolyn Zabicki\, intimate images of everyday life are quietly captured; brushing teeth\, drying hair\, or sleeping. These simple rituals happen every day\, unobserved or remembered. These events can only occur in the comfort and privacy of our homes.\nThe exhibition is curated by Stano Grezdo and Linda Dorman.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception of "Guanyu Xu: to be seen"
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is excited to announce the fifth exhibition of the Spotlight Series\, featuring artist Guanyu Xu. Please join us on Saturday\, November 5\, from 3pm-6pm CT for the opening reception.\nIn a new body of work centered on an imperial robe on display in the museum\, Chinatown\, and the New York Times repeated coverage of COVID featuring Asian faces\, photographer Guanyu Xu challenges the viewer to reconsider the parallel instances of colonization\, objectification\, fetishization\, and racism in three temporalities. Guanyu Xu: to be seen will run from November 5 through December 17.\nThe Spotlight Series is a new initiative to showcase recent and past work by emerging and mid-career artists of Chinese descent locally. Curated by Larry Lee (Molar Productions)\, the project aims to introduce\, promote and celebrate the divergent artistic visions and experiences of being Chinese in America looking at and reflecting upon our relationship to contemporary visual culture to a wider audience within our community and Chicago.\n\nAbout the artist:\n徐冠宇 Guanyu Xu (b.1993 Beijing) is an artist currently based in Chicago and a lecturer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Influenced by the production of ideology in American visual culture and a conservative familial upbringing in China\, Xu’s practice extends from examining the production of power in photography to the question of personal freedom and its relationship to political regimes. He negotiates this from the perspective as a Chinese gay man. In his work\, Xu migrates between mediums like photography\, new media\, and installation. These movements operate similarly to his displaced and fractured identity.\nHe is the recipient of the Chicago DCASE Artist Grant (2022)\, CENTER Development Grant (2021)\, Hyéres International Festival Prize (2020)\, PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai Exposure Award (2020)\, Philadelphia Photo Arts Center Annual Competition (2019)\, Lensculture Emerging Talent Award (2019)\, and Kodak Film Photo Award (2019). He has received artist residencies including ACRE (Chicago\, IL)\, Light Work (Syracuse\, NY)\, and Latitude (Chicago\, IL). His works have been exhibited and screened internationally including the Aperture Foundation\, New York; International Center of Photography\, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; New Orlean Museum of Art\, New Orleans; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; Wesleyan University\, Middletown; Fotomuseum Winterthur\, Switzerland; Mint Museum\, Charlotte; 36th Kasseler Dokfest\, Germany\, and others. His work can be found in public collections including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art\, Harvard Art Museums\, Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago\, and New Orleans Museum of Art. His works have been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times\, ArtAsiaPacific\, The New Yorker\, W Magazine\, Harper’s Magazine\, Dazed\, and China Photographic Publishing House.

SUMMARY:"Lithuania in 1922" - A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Balzekas Museum presents “Lithuania in 1922 – a Symposium\nLithuanian American contributions during the first formative years of Lithuania’s statehood is the subject of “Lithuania in 1922\,” a symposium on Saturday\, November 12\, 2022\, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture in Chicago\, 6500 S. Pulaski Rd.\nNEWS RELEASE:\nFrom Meat Packers and Coal Miners to Nation Builders: How Lithuanian American immigrants helped their beleaguered homeland achieve freedom\, independence\, and U.S. recognition a century ago\nChicago\, Oct. 22\, 2022 — Lithuanian American contributions to Lithuania’s freedom\, independence and diplomatic recognition by the United States is the subject of “Lithuania in 1922\,” a symposium at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture in Chicago on Saturday\, November 12\, 2022 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. \nThese first-wave immigrants\, many of humble beginnings\, who toiled in Pennsylvania and Illinois coal mines\, East Coast factories\, and Midwestern farms — the so-called “big shoulders” of Chicago’s stockyards and steel mills — heeded the call of their beleaguered homeland and helped lift it from over a century of Russian subjugation and oppression. \nTheir actions were pivotal to the success of Lithuania’s independence struggle in 1918 and to the United States’ de jure recognition of Lithuanian statehood in 1922. In effect\, they helped lay the cornerstone for the freedom and democracy Lithuania enjoys today. \nThe aspirations\, tactics\, and accomplishments of Lithuanian Americans then hold many lessons for our own turbulent times\, according to Irena Brokas Chambers\, curator of the Balzekas Museum’s For Freedom about Lithuanian American support of Lithuania’s struggle for independence and freedom and No Home To Go To exhibitions about World War II Baltic refugees. \n“What Lithuanian Americans did was not only pivotal to Lithuania’s struggle for freedom\,” said Chambers\, in her presentation to the American Association of Baltic Studies conference in Seattle this past May. “Their success in gaining independence and [U.S.] recognition is a singular exemplar of what must be done in the continuing struggle to end oppression and champion freedom throughout the world.” \nFormerly the curator of collections at the Library of Congress\, Chambers will present “A Case for Lost Causes: Lithuanian American Support of Freedom\, Independence\, and Recognition for their Ancestral Homeland” at the November 12 symposium. \n“Lithuanian Americans’ Final Contribution to the Recognition of Lithuania by the United States on July 28\, 1922” is the subject of a presentation by guest scholar Piotr Szlaužys\, a PhD candidate from the Institute of History and Political Sciences at the University of Białystok\, Poland. His research interests include Lithuanian Americans’ efforts towards U.S.’ recognition of Lithuania after World War I\, U.S. policy towards the Baltic States from 1918 to 1922\, and Lithuanian immigration to the U.S. in the 19th and 20th centuries. \nOther presenters include Balzekas Museum film consultant\, filmmaker Arvydas Reneckis\, who will discuss and share sourced material including archival film footage\, photographs\, and interviews\, for his current project\, Lithuanian Americans: Envoys of Nation\, a film premiering in 2023\, and his recent film about the Lithuanian Liberty Bell\, a gift of Lithuanian Americans to their ancestral homeland\, also in 1922. \nGuest speaker Ramunė Račkauskas\, granddaughter of Lithuania’s second president\, Aleksandras Stulginskis\, who was in office when U.S. President Warren B. Harding conferred de jure diplomatic recognition to Lithuania\, Latvia\, and Estonia on July 28\,1922. She will speak about President Stulginskis’s term and his legacy. The Museum’s numismatic exhibitions curator\, Frank Passic\, will speak about the history of the Litas\, Lithuania’s first unit of currency\, introduced in 1922. \nSymposium attendees will have an opportunity to numismatic collections\, the For Freedom exhibition\, and other related items of the period in the Museum’s collections and exhibitions. Of special interest is “The Ploughman” (1922)\, Lithuanian sculptor Petras Rimša’s iconic bronze sculpture\, symbolizing the spirit of the Lithuania nation and its resilience and resolve—then and now—in setting the course for Lithuania’s future. This sculpture is on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. \nIN-PERSON AND/OR ON ZOOM\, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS \nThis is an in-person event at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture\, 6500 S. Pulaski Rd.\, Chicago IL 60629. Those unable to attend\, can watch scheduled presentations over Zoom. Registration is required for all participants.

SUMMARY:The Promised Land
DESCRIPTION:Eleven artists with ties to North and South of the Mason-Dixon Line respond to just how much Black life has always been in transit. \n  \nThe Great Migration was one of the largest movements of people in United States history. It has transformed cities like Chicago\, Detroit\, New York and Pittsburgh between 1916 and 1970. Chicago received more than 500\,000 Black Southern Americans during this time.\n  \nTo Southern Blacks\, Chicago was considered the “Promised Land”. Stories of big city life — jobs with good wages\, homes with running water\, and basic freedoms denied to Blacks in the South — made the Northern city a prime destination for Blacks coming from below the Mason-Dixon line. As the most documented migration in US history\, photographers like Gordon Parks\, Florestine Perrault Collins\, Moneta Sleet Jr.\, Roy DeCarava\, and Coreen Simpson created imagery that demonstrated Black life in movement.\n\nToday\, contemporary artists and image makers respond to the many migrations of African Diaspora peoples and the influences of these movements in their work.

SUMMARY:Arctic Highways
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit discusses the exploitation of Indigenous land and how imposed borders of nation-states have erased the natural land borders used by Indigenous peoples. Nine Sami artists and three Indigenous artists from Canada and the United States want to use this exhibit to start a dialogue\, raise questions\, and establish waypoints between their culture and ours. This exhibit takes us on a journey through an Arctic highway of culture and life\, stretching from the past into the future.

SUMMARY:The Negro Motorist Green Book
DESCRIPTION:“The Negro Motorist Green Book” guided Black Americans to thousands of businesses for over thirty years. When the first “Green Book” was published\, the American road was a metaphor for freedom: freedom to change your present situation\, determine your destiny\, and travel. Yet\, in 20th-century America\, this same road was a dangerous place for Black travelers. The land was divided by segregation — through policy and through custom. For Black people\, the prejudice was severe: a systematic effort to deny their basic human rights. In an era of Jim Crow laws and “sundown towns\,” communities that explicitly prohibited Black travelers from staying overnight\, the “Green Book” offered critical\, life-saving information and sanctuary. \nNow\, through The Negro Motorist Green Book\, visitors will explore film\, photographs\, interactives\, and oral histories from travelers and “Green Book” business owners; compare “Green Book” sites then and now; and appreciate historical objects from the Smithsonian and from a variety of “Green Book” sites. The exhibition includes artifacts from business signs and postcards to historic footage\, images\, and firsthand accounts that illustrate not just the apprehension felt by Black travelers\, but also the resilience\, innovation\, and elegance of people choosing to live a full American existence. \nDeveloped by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) in collaboration with award-winning author\, photographer\, and cultural documentarian\, Candacy Taylor\, Green Book offers an immersive look at the historic reality of travel for Black Americans and how the guide served as an indispensable resource for the rise of the Black leisure class in the United States. The exhibition highlights destinations created by Black Americans and strategies that affirmed their humanity\, their worth\, their light\, and their lives – and how it was done with ingenuity\, community\, and with help from Victor Green and his travel guide: “The Negro Motorist Green Book.”

SUMMARY:UNITY\, Maggie Wong
DESCRIPTION:The Spotlight Series at the Chinese American Museum of Chicago is pleased to present UNITY\, Maggie Wong’s first solo exhibition in Chicago. \nThrough various manipulations of newsprint via sculptural and print interventions pulled from the artist’s collection of Unity Newspaper\, the show depicts a version of childcare that supported revolutionary action\, particularly the publishing of Unity by the League of Revolutionary Struggle\, a radical communist group that emerged in 1978 upon the merger between the August 29th Movement\, a Chicano revolutionary organization\, and I Wor Kuen\, an Asian American revolutionary organization\, both influenced by Mao and followed Marxist-Leninist thought. \nThis system is what raised the artist and countless other now-grown adults that now serves as a point of departure to feel through a movement as a mothering environment. \nAbout the Artist:\nMaggie Wong (b.1988\, Oakland\, CA) is a visual artist attuned to materiality and sculpture’s disciplinary capacity to shape social space. She creates multidisciplinary works that focus on care labor\, sentimentality\, and collectivity. As a teacher. Maggie is interested in the interplay between informal and experiential education amidst formal art ecologies. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). She is currently the Educator-in-Residence at the Luminary\, and lecturer at SAIC.
