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. Her work has been shown at Mana Contemporary Chicago\, Comfort Station\, Annas Projects\, take care (LA)\, Temple Contemporary\, YBCA\, and 99cent Plus\, and has been written about in ArtForum and Sixty Inches from Center. Her writing has been published by Yale University Press\, Viral Ecologies\, and the Journal of Art Practice.

SUMMARY:Saekdong & Fashion
DESCRIPTION:‘Saekdong & Fashion’ Solo Exhibition\n김윤 개인전\n덕성여자대학교 의상디자인전공 부교수 \nExhibition: Feb. 10-Feb. 23\n@KCCoC Gallery\n9925 Capitol Dr. Wheeling\, IL. 60090\nInquiry: (847) 947-4460 \n패션디자인의 표현 영역 중 하나인 패션일러스트레이션은 기존의 패션 드로잉(일러스트레이션)이라는 인식에서 벗어나 빠르게 변화하는 패션 산업 속에서 패션의 새로운 장르로 발전하고 있다. 패션일러스트레이션의 융합적 표현기법 개발을 통해 패션디자인 영역의 대중화와 표현의 폭을 넓히는 작가의 활동은 패션 예술성의 확장과 패션산업의 무경계화적 발전을 보여준다. \nK-Fashion은 다양한 영역에서 표현되고 있다. 이번 작품에서 작가는 글로벌화되어진 K-Fashion의 예술적 범위와 실험적 아이디어 표현 영역을 확장하였다. 특히 한국 전통 패션의 대표적 색과 패턴인 ‘색동’을 통해 한국의 패션이 얼마나 빠르게 글로벌 패션에 스며들고 있는지를 보여주고자 한다. 또한 미니멀한 ‘도형화’로 표현한 한글의 일부를 한국 전통 스트라이프 패턴인‘색동’과 함께 디자인함으로써 K-Fashion의 세련되고 미니멀함을 한국적 색채로 보여준다. \n작가는 핸드크래프트적 아날로그 기법으로 한국 전통 원단에 표현한 핸드 스티치와 핸드드로잉을 사용하였고\, 조형적 특성 강조를 위해 디지털 프로그램을 함께 활용하는 융합적 표현을 보여준다. 이를 통해 패션일러스트레이션 표현의 새로운 방향성을 제시하고 패션일러스트레이션 관련 연구의 범위를 확장하였다. 또한 글로벌 패션산업에서 활용하기 적합한 K-Fashion의 디자인 표현 영역을 넓히는 특별한 전시가 될 것이다.\n \n‘Saekdong & Fashion’\nYoon Kim Solo Exhibition\nAssociate Professor\, Dept. of Fashion Design\, Duksung Women’s University \nExhibition: Feb. 10-Feb. 23 \n@KCCoC Gallery\n9925 Capitol Dr. Wheeling\, IL. 60090\nInquiry: (847)947-4460 \nFashion illustration\, one of the expression areas of fashion design\, is developing into a new genre of fashion in the fast-changing fashion industry\, breaking away from the existing perception of fashion drawing (illustration). The artist’s activities to popularize the fashion design field and expand the range of expression through the development of convergent expression techniques of fashion illustration show the expansion of fashion artistry and the borderless development of the fashion industry. \nK-Fashion is expressed in various areas. In this work\, the artist expanded the artistic range of globalized K-Fashion and the experimental expression of ideas. In particular\, we want to show how quickly Korean fashion is permeating into global fashion through ‘Saekdong’\, a representative color and pattern of Korean traditional fashion. In addition\, by designing a part of Hangeul\, which is expressed in minimal ‘figure painting’\, along with ‘Saekdong’\, a traditional Korean stripe pattern\, it shows the refined and minimalism of K-Fashion in Korean colors. \nThe artist used hand stitches and hand drawings expressed on Korean traditional fabrics with handcrafted analog techniques\, that shows a convergence of expressions using digital programs together to emphasize formative characteristics. Through this\, a new direction of fashion illustration expression was created and the scope of research related to fashion illustration was expanded. It will also be a special exhibition that expands the realm of K-Fashion design expression suitable for use in the global fashion industry.

SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Loss
DESCRIPTION:AESTHETICS OF LOSS is a collection of work by seven artists who have experienced loss of family members recently. Their studios became places for grieving and understanding the sudden vacuum of losing loved ones either suddenly or over a long period of illness. Caregiving\, memory\, helplessness\, loss and the ultimate mystery of death are explored through painting\, print-making\, fibers\, ceramics\, photography\, installation and video. Some artists utilize objects and clothing left behind by their loved ones and transform them into artworks and some use ritual and natural materials as memorial or commemorative actions of grieving and coming to terms. \nEbti is a multidisciplinary artist\, a self-taught photographer and a translator living between Cairo and San Francisco. She received her MFA in Fine Art from the California College of the Arts in 2021. Her practice is informed by languages\, theater\, literature\, music and her family’s making-traditions she never got to learn. Through this multi- faceted\, dislocated lens she looks at the ideas of home\, belonging\, and attachment. Though her work is rooted in photography\, she is constantly looking for new materials and methods that will best translate her ideas. Once she starts working on a project\, she embraces notions of accident and failure. Her practice is ever-evolving and is influenced by her restlessness. \nCassidy Early (b. 1994\, Worcester\, MA) is a nonbinary Scottish American artist living and working in Chicago\, IL. They graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a MFA in Painting in 2020 and received their BFA from Boston University’s College of Fine Arts in 2016. Early’s work has been featured in a solo exhibition with Lauren Powell Projects\, (Los Angeles\, CA)\, a three person exhibition with Olympia (New York\, NY)\, and larger group exhibitions with La Loma Projects (Pasadena\, CA)\, Green Gallery (Milwaukee\, WI)\, The Salon at The Wing Chicago (Chicago\, IL)\, and in I Like Your Work\, Podcast. Their work has been published alongside Garth Green- well’s essay Making Meaning: Against Relevance in Art in Harper’s Magazine (Nov. 2020)\, and as the LVL3 Artist of the Week (Nov. 2020). \nBrianna L. Hernández is a Chicana artist\, curator\, educator\, and death doula guided by socially-engaged values. In developing as an artist\, Brianna credits her late mother\, Sylvia D. Hernández\, as her most significant mentor. Brianna’s studio practice focuses on end-of-life care\, grieving processes\, and mourning rituals based on lived experience\, cultural research\, and collaborations with peers. In addition to formal artworks\, she offers workshops or viewers to self-educate on grief and end-of-life planning through the safety of the creative process. As a curator\, Brianna works with artists to make socially-charged topics publicly accessible in order to create opportunities for education and empathy. She also collaborates with community health researchers to incorporate the arts into public health projects through curatorial consulting. Brianna proudly serves as Director of Curation and Board Secretary at Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Southampton\, New York. \nLinda b. Marcus (b. 1961\, Los Angeles\, California) is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. Drawing on her long history as a storyteller in journalism and fashion\, Marcus now focuses on fiber\, sculpture and photography. Marcus’s work has been exhibited widely in Wisconsin including the Museum of Wisconsin Art\, The Trout Museum\, the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and fiber arts and the Charles Allis Museum as well as numerousgalleries and in several publications. Marcus is currently pursuing her MFA at the School of The Art Institute in Chicago\, Illinois. Marcus has been awarded several residencies including on at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Currently\, Marcus is the creative director for the Saint Kate Arts hotel in Milwaukee where she continues to push the limits of contemporary art and provide a platform for other artists. \nJessica Meuninck-Ganger’s prints\, artist’s books and large-scale hybrid media works have been exhibited in museums and both experimental and commercial galleries regionally\, nationally and internationally. Her art is included in several private and public collections\, including the Weisman Museum of Art\, Marcus Corporation (Saint Kate Arts Hotel)\, Northwestern Mutual\, Target Corporation\, and in contemporary publications\, such as Andrea Ferber’s\, Sustenance: Contemporary Printmaking Now\, Richard Noyce’s\, Printmaking Beyond the Edge\, and Nathaniel Stern’s\, Interactive Art and Embodiment: The Implicit Body as Performance.

SUMMARY:Pop-up Café & Semla Pick up
DESCRIPTION:Semlor (Lenten buns) were originally consumed on fettisdagen\, or Fat Tuesday\, as a celebration before the Christian fasting period of Lent. In modern Sweden\, since strict adherence to Lent has waned\, semlor make their appearance in bakeries from about January through Easter. However\, Semla Day (semmeldagen) is still celebrated on Fat Tuesday every year. King Adolf Frederick died in 1771 after eating 14 servings of semlor. So while indulgence is encouraged on fettisdagen\, it might be best to keep your semla intake to fewer than 10! \nThis year you can preorder yours at the Swedish American Museum. Cost per semla is $5 for members and $6 for non-members. Last order is taken Sunday\, Feb. 19\, 6 p.m. Any purchase of more than 4 semlor has to be pre-ordered. We ask you to limit your order to 6 semlor since we get a lot of orders.

SUMMARY:The Life and Times of Sultan Süleyman
DESCRIPTION:This program will be held in-person at the Newberry and livestreamed on Zoom. The online version of this event will be live captioned. Please register below. \nIn-Person Registration: https://reg.learningstream.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0057-0014-c6849d7a4009468cac94034db4dedaba \nLivestream Registration: https://reg.learningstream.com/reg/event_page.aspx?ek=0057-0014-57115b0b9ef94f9cb8575ce316f2dfdb \nJoin us as historian Kaya Şahin\, author of Peerless among Princes: The Life and Times of Sultan Süleyman\, and art historian Elizabeth Rodini discuss the sixteenth-century ruler\, during whose reign the Ottoman Empire became a truly global power. \nSüleyman presided over a multilingual and multireligious empire that promised peace and prosperity to its subjects while he clashed with the Catholic Habsburgs in Europe and the Shiite Safavids in the Middle East. His poetic output\, his appearances during public ceremonies\, his charity\, and his patronage of arts and architecture enhanced his reputation as a universal ruler with a well-rounded character. \nBehind that public façade\, Süleyman led a complicated life. He grew up with an overbearing father whose legacy was an advantage and a burden. Defying established practice\, he married a concubine named Hürrem whose love and affection became his true refuge. Toward the end of his life\, facing both debilitating sickness and the agitations of his sons\, he struggled to remain on the throne. \nCopies of Peerless among Princes: The Life and Times of Sultan Süleyman are available for purchase from the Newberry Bookshop\, and Dr. Şahin will sign books after the program.

SUMMARY:Musical Performance: A Night at the Savoy: An Enduring Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Believed to be inspired by the earlier Jewish Vacation Guide\, which catalogued hotels that welcomed Jewish travelers\, The Green Book was cherished by Black travelers and touring Black musicians: it was a guide to vibrant neighborhoods like New York City’s Harlem\, Chicago’s Bronzeville\, and Washington\, D.C.’s U Street. \nAs the Black middle class emerged across America in the early 1920s\, widespread automobile ownership opened new opportunities to travel – but Jim Crow laws still posed a threat. Life in this era shifted significantly\, forging a system of laws and customs that segregated public spaces and enforced racial inequality. Navigating the injustices of racial segregation was difficult and\, at times\, dangerous – even for renowned Black artists. Touring was regarded as the hardest part of the job. \nCelebrate the works of Black musicians with a Green Book era-inspired performance by Chicago’s Emmy-Award winning trumpeter\, composer\, and educator Orbert Davis and his Jazz Quartet. Sip on a free signature cocktail and dance the night away to classics of the era at this party celebrating the impact and history of The Green Book on American music. \nReservations required. Free to the public.

SUMMARY:Singer Pavilion: Honoring Legacy Through Adaptive Design
DESCRIPTION:The CAC’s newest exhibition highlights the Bronzeville Lakefront megadevelopment slated for the former Michael Reese Hospital campus and how a reimagined Singer Pavilion can help bridge this site’s past and future. Join us for a conversation with designers\, architects and educators on the promise of collaborative neighborhood development. \nThis program is FREE with advanced registration. Both In-Person & Virtual options are available. \nWhen Michael Reese Hospital opened its doors in 1881 it was one of few hospitals to admit patients regardless of their race and religion. Now the hospital’s sole remaining building\, the Singer Pavilion\, is poised to anchor the first phase of the $3.8 billion Bronzeville Lakefront megadevelopment on Chicago’s South Side. Graduate students in Architecture from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee and 5th Year Undergraduate students in Architecture from Illinois Institute of Technology have been given the opportunity to creatively redesign the Singer Pavilion to meet these aspirations. \nIn this panel discussion moderated by CAC CEO Eleanor Gorski\, we will explore the design ideas and discuss the role of megadevelopments in revitalizing neighborhoods. How can students and local communities meaningfully participate in these important development partnerships? Chicago is a hub for architectural education. By exhibiting innovative student work that helps drive tangible outcomes we can bring academic and professional worlds closer together for the benefit of all. \nAt the conclusion of the panel\, there will be a small reception celebrating the opening of this exhibit.
