A NATURAL TURN CONVERSATION:
What is the “natural” for each of these artists? What roles does imagination and the surreal play in each of their works? What does figuration (and abstraction) provide to them? We will have a unique chance to hear directly from “A Natural Turn” artists: María Berrío, Joiri Minaya, Rosana Paulino, and Kelly Sinnapah Mary this Wednesday, November 16 at 6pm CT ONLINE. This conversation will be moderated by curator of the exhibition Ionit Behar.

Violent arrests of African American protesters during the Civil Rights movement proved that the fight for equality would not come easily. The work of photographer Danny Lyon is a portal into the struggle and his commitment to capturing injustice shows just how powerful a camera can be. GO VOTE! And, visit demandingchangebearingwitness.com to learn more about DPAM’s online exhibition “Demanding Change, Bearing Witness: Photographs from the Wilson Garling RiseUP! Collection, discussing the use of photography to amplify voices unheard.
In-person lecture: This Wednesday, November 9 at 6pm CT we welcome Joiri Minaya for an artist talk as part of the exhibition “A Natural Turn: María Berrío, Joiri Minaya, Rosana Paulino, and Kelly Sinnapah Mary” curated by Ionit Behar. This is Minaya’s first exhibition and talk in Chicago! Minaya is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work investigates the female body within constructions of identity, multicultural social spaces and hierarchies. Born in New York, she grew up in the Dominican Republic. Minaya has exhibited internationally across the Caribbean and the US.
This program is supported by DePaul’s Department of Latin American and Latino Studies and the Center for Latino Research.
**FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. PLEASE REGISTER WITH LINK IN BIO**
We apologize, but because of unexpected electrical work across campus this afternoon, DPAM will be closed for the rest of today. We look forward to seeing you all during our regular open hours beginning this Wednesday at 11am!
Please join us Sunday, October 23 at 1pm for an in-person tour of A Natural Turn: María Berrío, Joiri Minaya, Rosana Paulino and Kelly Sinnapah Mary with the exhibition’s curator, Ionit Behar , PhD. This exhibition features the works of four artists living in the Americas: María Berrío (Colombian, b. 1982), Joiri Minaya (Dominican-United Statesian, b. 1990), Rosana Paulino (Brazilian, b. 1967), and Kelly Sinnapah Mary (Indo-Guadeloupean, b. 1981). Pushing the boundaries of figuration, Berrío, Minaya, Paulino, and Sinnapah create bold and unforgettable images of truth and fiction within both personal and collective histories. Their works exist at the intersection of individual imagination and our shared natural, socio- and geopolitical landscapes––a unique space that mixes both beauty and violence at once. The tour will explore the artists’ surrealist approach to figuration as a means to interrogate structures of power and borders—those defined by geography, nationality, or language—to expand our understanding of the real and the imagined.

Only two days left to catch “Remaking the Exceptional: Tea, Torture, and Reparations | Chicago to Guantánamo”! Free and open to everyone, 11-5 this weekend. Come see us!
Thank you WTTW News for your coverage of DPAM's "Remaking the Exceptional" exhibition and publication! Closing Sunday!
An exhibition at the DePaul Art Museum titled “Remaking the Exceptional: Tea, Torture and Reparations, Chicago to Guantanamo” is acknowledging 20 years since the opening of a United States extra-legal prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The late Claes Oldenburg was in many ways a Chicago artist—though born in Sweden, his family relocated to Chicago in 1936. At the beginning of the 20th century, Chicago had the second highest Swedish population in the world after Sweden’s capital Stockholm. As a young artist Oldenburg attended a summer program at Ox-Bow (Saugatuck, MI) in 1953 where he made the lithograph pictured here. The second image from 1968 is a small print overlaid with vellum depicting a typewriter eraser—a recurring figure in Oldenburg’s work—which he playfully labels “ear.” In his “Notes at Hand,” the artist explains that the peculiar little object also resembles a belly button and other parts of human anatomy. In 1961 Oldenburg wrote, “I am for all art that takes its form from the line of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and spits and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself.”

DPAM’s Remaking the Exceptional publication is out and it’s incredible! Pick it up online or at the museum today! Major congratulations to guest curators Amber Ginsburg and Aaron Hughes, HOUR Studio for their gorgeous design work, and all of the amazing contributors of essays, poetry, and artwork!
DPAM is saddened to hear of the loss of the brilliant Sam Gilliam. In a recent interview Gilliam said, “Art is something that is present because it’s in memory. It surpasses time, boundaries, and continuation.” To remember Gilliam we had to take a fresh look at this beautiful 1996 mixed media print “As Kids Go” from our permanent collection (Collection of DePaul Art Museum, Gift of Anthony Podesta 2001.49).
Tomorrow at 1pm CST: Join La Tanya Jenifor-Sublett, Mohamedou Ould Slahi, and Mansoor Adayfi to honor International Torture Survivors Day and celebrate the release of the “Remaking the Exceptional Podcast” by artists Amber Ginsburg and Aaron Hughes. Tomorrow’s event and podcast accompany DPAM’s exhibition by the same name on view through August 7. To attend virtually please register at ilhumanities.org/events/remaking-the-exceptional

has us thinking a lot about this work from Illinois artist Laurie Hogin ( ). Hogin draws upon the style of seventeenth century European still life painting and “vanitas”, which portray objects that symbolize mortality, to make a statement on pollution and the environment. The painting’s title literally translates to “stuffed chicken at the love canal.” It imagines a chicken that is suffering from the impact of an incident in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagra Falls, New York, in which the massive amount of pollution from years of chemical waste dumping resulted in the declined health of hundreds of area residents. Rather than portraying the grandiosity and opulence typically associated with vanitas paintings, Hogin points out the social consequences of nature caught in the midst of an indulgent human civilization.

“Remaking the Exceptional: Tea, Torture, and Reparations | Chicago to Guantánamo” at the DePaul Art Museum examines the question of reparations by tackling two cases: the well-documented tragedy of Chicago police torture and the ongoing international scandal of Guantánamo Bay.
