Sign up on August 15 to join the Fall term of "Sequences, Iterations, and Permutations (SiP)," a program part of Professional Pathways at Hyde Park Art Center that explores how artists work iteratively in groups of images, objects, and moving images. While this class is topic based, there is a focus on cultivating each student's personal artistic practice. In the past SiP has also explored the formation of a SiP artist collective, embarked on a large exhibition, and produced multiple collaborative projects. Anyone who takes SiP and becomes an alum is invited to coffee/tea hour held before each class, in addition to other events and projects. SiP is led by Jasper Godrich .goodrich.
Explore sequences, iterations, and permutations in contemporary art and throughout history. Instead of art making that leads to one thing (a painting, sculpture, etc.), this class is about making a collection of images that cumulatively express an artist’s project, tell a story, depict an emotion, or communicate an idea. Using a variety of mediums from drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and photography, students will make groups of images in drafts, drawing on other artforms such as music, fashion, film, dance, graphic design, and typography. Through presentations, exercises, and discussions, this class is a deep investigation into the structure of images and sequencing. SiP explores how working iteratively (building upon previous forms, where information is lost and gained through making) can help artists’ creative process.
This class will occur over zoom on Sundays from 11:00 am - 1:30 pm running from 10/1 - 12/3, lasting 10 weeks. Before each class, there is optional coffee/tea time available for current students and SiP alums from 10:00 am - 11:00 am. There will also be optional in-person sessions to be announced at the beginning of the term.

Last chance to visit Amuleto!
The group show closes this Sunday, August 13.
Amuleto is a collaboration between the independent art spaces The Franklin, Mayfield, and Hyde Park Art Center to present artwork by artists that address the ideas of the amulet/amuleto: portable objects that are attributed to magical, emotional, or sentimental value. Civilizations have believed in the energy of amulets going all the way back to ancient times. These talismans are often worn to aid or protect their wearer or given a spiritual significance that varies from person to person and is symbolically compared to armor. How do contemporary artists incorporate the alchemy of artifacts in their work?

Join us for the opening public reception from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
A Universe of Self-Experience by The Youth Board of Artists (a dedicated cohort of teen leaders at Hyde Park Art Center), the exhibition audaciously recognizes the boundlessness and complexity within the time in which these young artists exist. Through a diverse range of media and styles, more than 40 artists investigate the intertwined vastness and intimate side of self-experience. Teen artists connect their work to the shared awareness of the universal human experience, tapping into the social currents that are echoing within their close communities. While other teens reveal the intricacies of their introspective, deeply personal inner universe. The collection of work contemplates the myriad ways everyone perceives, experiences, and discovers their own world.
