SUMMARY:EMERGENCE: Intersections at The Center
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION:   \nAPRIL 15\, 6-8PM   \n  \nEMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center spotlights The South Side Community Art Center’s historical role in supporting a full spectrum of Black artists through an intersectional viewpoint. The first exhibition of its kind at the South Side Community Art Center\, EMERGENCE positions the Center as an important anchor for Black LGBTQ artists who belonged to its community from its founding in 1940 to the 1980s. The exhibition features work addressing identity and community\, queer spaces and performance\, in collage\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and more. \n  \n \n\nRalph Arnold (1928–2006). Love Sign II. Mixed media\, 1995.  \nCollection of the South Side Community Art Center. \n\n  \nEMERGENCE emphasizes the middle decades of the twentieth century\, from the 1940s to the 1980s. For much of this time period\, sexual orientation was heavily policed\, both literally by the Chicago Police Department\, and in a variety of other ways through the imposition of norms by society and its institutions\, such as church\, family\, medical institutions\, and school. For this reason\, many of the artists in the exhibition\, especially in the early decades represented here\, were careful to exercise discretion in their life and work. Most did not publicly identify themselves as gay\, lesbian\, trans\, or bisexual. At the same time\, particularly in Bronzeville\, Chicago’s South Side Black community held spaces that were open to participants of differing sexual orientations and identities. Political movements on behalf of Gay Liberation were active throughout this period\, gaining strength in the 1970s and 80s.   \nEMERGENCE features work by Ralph Arnold\, Richmond Barthé\, Sylvester Britton\, William S. Carter\, Mikki Ferrill\, Jonathan Green\, Juarez Hawkins\, Berry Horton\, Patric McCoy\, Charles Sebree\, Allen Stringfellow\, and Ellis Wilson.\n\n\nCurated by LaMar Gayles Jr. & zakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal\n  \n \nJuarez Hawkins (1962–). Self-Portrait. Oil pastel and acrylic onmuseum board\, 1992. Collection of the artist. \n  \n\nEMERGENCE promo image courtesy: \nMikki Ferrill (1937–). Untitled (Portrait of Terry Readus). Gelatin silver print\, 1973. Collection of the South Side Community Art Center. Design by Aay Preston-Myint.  \n  \nEMERGENCE is supported by a major grant from the Re-envisioning Permanent Collections program of the Terra Foundation for American Art and by a partnership with Northwestern University’s Department of Art History.\n

SUMMARY:TOWARD THE CENTER: In Conversation with Patric McCoy\, Juarez Hawkins\, and Jonathan Green
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER VIA ZOOM\n  \nJoin SSCAC Archives and Collections Manager LaMar Gayles Jr. for a conversation with EMERGENCE exhibiting artists Patric McCoy\, Juarez Hawkins\, and Jonathan Green for a conversation centering their individual practices\, personal knowledge of artists in the SSCAC archive\, and their relationships to Black art communities specific to Chicago’s South Side. \nThis program is organized in conjunction with SSCAC’S current exhibition\, EMERGENCE: Intersections at the Center\, with programming support by Northwestern University.\n\nEMERGENCE spotlights The South Side Community Art Center’s historical role in supporting a full spectrum of Black artists through an intersectional viewpoint. EMERGENCE positions the Center as an important anchor for Black LGBTQ artists who belonged to its community from its founding in 1940 to the 1980s and features work addressing identity and community\, queer spaces and performance\, in collage\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and more.\n\n  \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHIES: \n\nJuarez Hawkins\n\nJuarez Hawkins (born 1962) is a painter\, ceramicist\, curator and educator from Chicago\, IL\, whose work explores questions of identity\, spirituality and the body. Juarez received her B.A. from Northwestern University and her M.A. from Columbia College Chicago. She has exhibited widely\, with solo shows at the 33 Collective Gallery\, Concordia University and the South Side Community Art Center. She is co-curator of Gallery Programs at Chicago State University and has organized exhibitions featuring artists in the permanent collection\, including artists such as Richard Hunt and Marva Jolly. Other recent curatorial projects include The Love Affair Continues at the DuSable Museum of African American History and Intersectional Touch at the Hyde Park Art Center. Juarez is a member of Sapphire and Crystals\, a collective of African American female artists and is a two-time recipient of the Community Arts Assistance Program Grant.  \nPatric McCoy  \n\n\nPatric McCoy (born 1946) is an art collector\, curator\, environmental chemist and photographer from Chicago whose art collection contains more than one thousand paintings\, drawings\, sculptures and collages of work made by African American artists. McCoy went to Englewood High School\, the University of Chicago and Governors State University and worked as an environmental scientist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from 1976 to 2006. In the 1980s\, McCoy developed his practice as a photographer\, focusing on everyday lives of people and the landscape of Chicago. In 2003\, McCoy co-founded Diasporal Rhythms\, a non-profit that promotes the collection of art by living African-American artists. McCoy’s collection was shown at the DuSable Museum of African-American History in Chicago in 2018.  \n\nJonathan Green \nJonathan Green (born 1955) is a painter and printmaker\, from Gardens Corner\, South Carolina.

Green was raised by his grandmother\, who taught him about the culture and dialect of the Gullah communities of the U.S. South. Green’s relationship to the Gullah culture remains one of the major influences on his work. After serving in the United States Air Force\, he attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, receiving his BFA in 1982. Green began working with the South Side Community Art Center in the 1980’s and had a solo exhibition there in 1987.
