SUMMARY:THE UNDERWORLD: George Crump
DESCRIPTION:THE UNDERWORLD: George Crump articulates a collective\, yet intimate expression of his mind’s eye through a body of work that makes social statements regarding life experiences\, both subjective and observational.   \nIn his most recent body of work\, Crump situates his conceptions of “the underworld” by way of the psychological and social afterlives of oppression\, with a tone of the spiritual\, often positioning his figures between reality and surrealism. Crump applies the principles of discipline\, understanding\, and compassion to his work through his specific use of color\, rich narrative approach\, and form.   \n  \n“The source material of my work is the truth of my past and present life experiences”\, Crump says.   \n  \n \nGeorge Crump. I Don’t Know. Oil on canvas. 24″x 20″. \n  \nThemes of remembrance and the spirit of determination traverse the scope of Crump’s work as he’s concerned with aspects of universal notions of existentialism\, affliction\, redemption\, and triumph.  \nThe exhibition opens for public viewing on January 14th and runs through March 26th. Please RSVP for our opening day here.   \n  \nGeorge Crump is a Chicago-based native and visual artist.  He attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, and most recently held a solo exhibition at Faie African Art Gallery.   \nGeorge developed his focus on the sensual nature of art\, aiming to evoke universality and honesty within his practice. So much so\, his strong emotional connection to his paintings are open to a variety of rich interpretations that span a wide range of emotions and forms.    \n  \nRSVP for our timed viewing  HERE.  \n  \n  \nCOVID PROTOCOL\n\nHow to visit The Center safely:\n– Vaccine verification required for entry \n– Beginning January 3\, in accordance with City of Chicago policy\, all visitors 5 and older will be required to show proof of full vaccination. \n– Please bring either your vaccine card\, a printed copy\, or a digital photo of your card. \n– Visitors 16 and older will need to provide identification that matches their vaccination record \n– Masks will continue to be required by all visitors 2 and older while in the museum. \nWe continue to require all visitors\, vaccinated or unvaccinated to wear masks that cover both your nose and mouth. \n

SUMMARY:WE ARE HERE: Honoring Women in the Center's Collection
DESCRIPTION:WE ARE HERE: Honoring Women in the Center’s Collection\, features artworks made by several women artists in the Center’s collection.\n  \nThis exhibition provides us an opportunity to think about the materiality of Black women’s art\, while also expanding biographical and visual information on Black women artists. The curatorial project permits the center an opportunity to reflect on impactful key women artists who have shaped and inspired persons in our institution and beyond. The exhibit will not feature the works of every woman artist in the collection\, instead it will focus on developing the biographical representations of several artists who are often obscured in favor of others\, while also highlighting artists very well documented in the canon of Black Art like Dr. Margaret Burroughs and Barbara Jones Hogu. \nCurated by SSCAC Archives and Collections Manager LaMar R. Gayles Jr \n\n  \nEXHIBITING ARTISTS\nMargaret Taylor Burroughs \nEspi Eph (Frazier) \nMadeline Haydon \nYasmin Sabu \n  \n  \nBIOGRAPHIES \n\nEspi Eph Espi (Eph) Frazier\, is an artist who is initially from the Chicago Area but relocated to the Baltimore area in 1993\, included here are a selection of her works from the Center’s collection ranging from wood graphics to a mixed media composition. In the 1980s Frazier created the wooden pieces featured here by partaking in a process of staining wood with ink drawn graphics and detailing those graphics by relief carving into the surfaces. A great deal of her work explores abstraction but some of it also explores representation of women figures especially Black women. \n  \nDr. Margaret Taylor Burroughs is an internationally known artist and educator who is heavily connected to the historical foundations of both the South Side Community Art Center and DuSable Museum of African American History. Burroughs is well known for her work in printmaking and poetry\, but was known to work in a plethora of media. Included here are several examples of her painting work coupled with a reproduction of possible prototype sketches she completed while in Mexico which might have served as inspiration for the two paintings. \n Yasmin Sabur is initially from Chicago and now works and lives out of California\, her work consists of a range of themes from the environment\, to visualizing how Black persons interact with their surroundings. In her exhibited piece titled Private Beach- Keep Out we see Sabur reference discrimination that occurred on Chicago beaches in the 20th century when Blacks weren’t allowed on many of the beaches in the city. Sabur renders the clearly Black figures in a popular expressionless monochromatic motif that is seen echoed throughout Black art in the 20th century which often is referencing issues or stigmas in private and or social life. \nMadeline Haydon Born in Chicago and later relocating to Hawaii\, exhibited in many spaces throughout her career\, including the South Side Community Art Center. Haydon defined herself as a realist working with a heightened awareness for color. This proclivity for color is exemplified in the oil painting still life included here in the exhibition which consists mainly of warm toned objects overlaid on top of a green background moving from warm to cold hues. \n  \nCOVID PROTOCOL \nHow to visit The Center safely: \n– Vaccine verification required for entry \n– Beginning January 3\, in accordance with City of Chicago policy\, all visitors 5 and older will be required to show proof of full vaccination. \n– Please bring either your vaccine card\, a printed copy\, or a digital photo of your card. \n– Visitors 16 and older will need to provide identification that matches their vaccination record \n– Masks will continue to be required by all visitors 2 and older while in the museum. \nWe continue to require all visitors\, vaccinated or unvaccinated to wear masks that cover both your nose and mouth. \n  \n*image courtesy: Madeline Haydon (American artist\, b. 1909) Still Life\, 1967 Oil on canvas 20 1/8 x 16″.
