Exhibiting artists, Teresita Carson Valdez, Molly Roth Scranton, Malika Jackson, and Kara Cobb Johnson
Hyde Park Art Center
5020 S. Cornell Avenue, Chicago, IL 60615
July 13-Oct 6th, 2024
Getting to this point has been an intense but of course amazing journey alongside my New Editions cohort at Hyde Park Art Center- Alexandra Antoine, Dawn Brennan, Kittisak (Wa) Chontong, Mary Farmilant, Malika Jackson, Kara Cobb Johnson, Caitlin Ryan, Molly Roth Scranton, and Teresita Carson Valdez.
The premise of the project was to learn a medium that was not a part of your practice and then integrate it with your existing practice. I took on silkscreen and screened the cosmos! The final piece is titled Survey of Space Time and is 59 x 98 inches of tiled paper. The exhibit is curated by Jeff Robinson and will be on view until October 6th.
Exhibition statement
Where a knot begins and ends considers the ways artists engage our complicated relationship to time, history, and archives. The phrase also conveys the challenges faced by the exhibiting artists who represent the 2024 cohort of New Edition, a two-part class developed by the Art Center for artists to learn and make work in a medium that is new to their practice.
