‘OUTCRY (2018)’
Curated by former DPAM Director Julie Rodrigues Widholm
Chicago-based photographer Whitney Bradshaw creates and encourages an empowering vision of contemporary women and to capture both diversity and collective experience, drawing upon her own background in social work. Her process involves inviting groups of women who don’t know one another to her studio for a gathering, focusing on community building as well as supporting each other as they, bravely, let out feelings that are often silenced or dismissed in our culture. “Outcry” provides women a space where they can be heard, supported and encouraged to speak out and up for themselves and for one another.

Screengrab Paintings with Dushko Petrovich this week!
Thursday, March 18, 6:00pm
Dushko Petrovich, chair of SAIC New Arts Journalism, will discuss a series of screenshot paintings he has been making during the pandemic. After pulling these photographs, maps, and graphs from the flux of his online experience, Pertrovich decided to translate them into paintings—in hopes that the shifts in physicality, scale, and means of circulation would give them a second, more reflective existence.

Artist Takeover: Alberto Aguilar
"Hello I’m Alberto Aguilar, host of ‘Guest Walks’. For this episode I start at Compound Yellow-- an artist run space in Oak Park, IL.
1) This is a work I made on the side of @compound yellow in 2018. The painted holes are still here to this day.
2) Today’s guest is Laura Shaeffer, director of Compound Yellow (CY). She is putting on her walking shoes."
Feel free to head to our Instagram to see the rest of this week's takeover!
ARTIST TAKEOVER: On our Instagram, ‘LatinxAmerican’ artist Alberto Aguilar will walk throughout #Chicago neighborhoods with a different guest artist every other Wednesday. The pair will visit sites from the past in order to become more present while walking. They will speak about various topics that may be affected by things they encounter along the way. What happens on each walk will be unplanned but meaning will emerge and reflect each guest artist.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! To create 'Proposals for a Translation,' artist Hương Ngô reached out to a group of artists and activists, who identify as Vietnamese or part of the Vietnamese diaspora, for possible translations for the term feminism into Vietnamese. Using their replies, she created this set of stamps with a custom typeface, carved with the proposed translations. The stamps were used to create the accompanying publication, printed with narratives and explanations from the participants about their particular translation of #feminism.

In his painting, ‘Es**rt,’ artist Jesse Howard depicts the early morning or late afternoon scenes from his neighborhood on Chicago’s south side: the escorting of students, by gang members, to and from school.

‘CLAUDIA PEÑA SALINAS: QUETZALLI’
February 18- August 15
The work of Mexican artist Claudia Peña Salinas is inspired by indigenous thinking and worldviews calling attention to the Americas collective cultural memory. Salinas's Quetzalli is a site-specific installation at DePaul Art Museum that centers on the Aztec headdress, Penacho de Moctezuma, an object that has become a symbol of national identity for both Mexico and Austria. Quetzalli highlights the issues around the provenance of ancient artifacts and the role museums play in formulating cultural identities.

This photograph of the city by #YasuhiroIshimoto seemed fitting with all of the cloudy and snowy days we’ve had lately!
“Ishimoto considered both Chicago and Tokyo as his home and showed his devotion to his adopted city in Chicago, Chicago, (Bijutsu Shuppan-sha, 1969). This book was for many years regarded as Ishimoto’s most personal statement – in it his bold use of contrast, the design of the frame, and the influence of his studies in architecture define his Chicago.” -Stephen Daiter Gallery

#EveryMonthisBlackHistoryMonth - After teaching himself photography, Gordon Parks (The Gordon Parks Foundation) became known for his powerful imagery reflecting the Black experience within the United States. Parks’s work ranges from fashion shoots to emotional portraiture with images that evoke activism and social change-- such as his historical documentation of members of the Nation of Islam on Chicago’s South Side and the Civil Rights Movement.

Peruvian artist Elena Damiani reworks objects and materials from geologic and cartographic archives, creating installations of landscapes that hover between past and present. In her work on view in The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, Damiani layers images of active volcanoes in Hawaii and Mount St. Helens in Washington printed on transparent silk chiffon. The images have a ghostly appearance, suggesting that our relation to the past is always spectral. Damiani’s work is part of the “Raw Material” section of the The World to Come which explores the depletion of Earth’s natural resources due to large-scale mining, fracking, and extraction. Learn more at: bit.ly/DPAMTheWorldToCome The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Retired Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.
Brazilian artist Sandra Cinto has developed a rich vocabulary of symbols and lines to create lyrical landscapes and narratives that hover between fantasy and reality. Using drawing as a point of departure, the artist renders intricate and mesmerizing environments of turbulent seascapes, violent rainstorms, and celestial skies. Evoking stories of human hardship and redemption, these fantastical landscapes serve as a metaphor for the human odyssey, while also pushing the limits and possibilities of drawing. Cinto’s work is part of the “Deluge” section of The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene in which artists engage with the beauty and destructive power of water while calling attention to our roles in extreme weather, global warming, rising sea levels, and floods.
