Using parody and humor, Adonis Flores questions the human condition through themes of fragility, violence, and uncertainty. His digitally constructed print, 'Maleza (Weeds),' is comprised of multiple self-portraits of the artist in camouflage.
•
Flores served in the Cuban military in the late 1980s, fighting in Angola, an experience that he frequently references in his work. Here, the multiple soldiers are intended to look like tiny toy GI Joes or Legos, drawing a comparison between the military games of children and those of the more dangerous wars constructed by politicians and national leaders.
•
Visit our current exhibition, 'This We Believe' free of charge through December 2021. Visit bit.ly/21c-believe for more details.

May Curator Conversations @ 21c Museum Hotel

Don't forget! Tonight at 6p is our next Curator Conversation in collaboration with DePaul Art Museum Assistant Curator, Ionit Behar, and Chicago-based artist, Rodrigo Lara Zendejas. Our Curator Conversations are a monthly series that pairs a local curator with an artist to provide viewers with a unique perspective on the rich arts community in Chicago. Sign up for this free event at bit.ly/21c-MayCC.

Behar teaches art history at the School of the Art Institute and is a Ph.D. candidate in art history at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her dissertation is entitled, 'Intimate Space and the Public Sphere: Margarita Paksa in Argentina's Military Dictatorship.' Lara is a Mexican-born, Chicago-based artist who received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute and his work creates memorials of fragmented and complex realities that break from traditional construction.

A free monthly virtual series that asks a local art curator to chat with an artist of their choice also from the Chicago arts community.

As a way to bring the energy and impetus of Nick Cave's artwork outside of traditional walls, Cave and Bob Faust created patterns that pair in various ways entitled, 'Wallworks' in the elevator lobbies of each floor of the hotel. These diptychs of two complimentary patterns are designed from individual details often found in Cave's practice.

"I like the energy we can get from the remixing process that this work requires. I have to let go of the direct connection to the original work and embrace the role a simple detail can make for itself."

Our evergreen penguin made an iconic friend, Hugsy 🐧, at The FRIENDS Experience! They waddled around Monica and Rachel’s apartment together, visited Central Perk, and found their reserved seats on the orange couch! They weren’t much help to Ross moving the couch upstairs.

Make a night of it at 21c and visit The Friends Experience while it is still open through May 31–it’s right down the street from us! Visit bit.ly/21c-TFE for more info.

You won't miss Maïmouna Guerresi's piece standing tall in our current exhibition, 'This We Believe.' Hybridity, in form and concept, is a hallmark of Guerresi's works, referencing and remixing gender, ethnicity, and religious beliefs.

'Moisa: Sospensione Mosaica,' 2009
Fiberglass and resin with white pigments
•
'Moisa' exists as a hybrid, a harmony between disparate identities and beliefs. The horns on the figure represent the manifestation of the spirit that gives regality, strength, and victory.
