Contemporary Art Initiative

Update from McKinnon Curator Chelsea Pierce

I recently led a group from the Chrysler Museum’s Masterpiece Society on an Art Tour of Chicago. Highlights included a VIP experience at Expo Chicago, a studio visit with artist Chelsea Bighorn, a private tour of the Arts Club of Chicago, and some excellent gallery visits, including a personal chat with artist Cheryl Pope at the Monique Meloche Gallery.

One unifying concept in the central pavilion of Expo Chicago featured artists who have been commissioned for new work for the Obama Presidential Center. Idris Kahn at Sean Kelly Gallery will create a giant version of this stamped canvas, where every individual word of President Obama’s Selma speech is hand-stamped in a process that meditates on the power of language.

Gorgeous mosaic also at Sean Kelly Gallery by Pakistani-born artist Shahzia Sikander who applies the Southeast Asian tradition of miniature painting in contemporary formats.

Chelsea Bighorn is a Lakota, Dakota and Shoshone-Paiute artist based in Chicago. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute and is currently finishing a 2-year residency with the Chicago Coalition of Artists. Bighorn works in fiber arts, creating unique pleated and beaded tapestries that speak to her cultural heritage. She just had an exhibition at Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco and another forthcoming in Los Angeles. She’s quickly on the rise and someone to watch!

Cheryl Pope at Monique Meloche Gallery spoke with us about her kaleidoscopic fiber paintings made of needle-punched wool on cashmere. This series was inspired by her visit to Abiquiú, New Mexico where Georgia O’Keeffe lived and found similar inspiration from the landscape.

Another artist that Chrysler Museum Director Erik Neil and I enjoyed: Carolina Jiménez at Hesse Flatow Gallery, based in Tribeca.

A whimsical Liliana Porter exhibition at Secrist Beach Gallery in Chicago stole our hearts. Porter is included in the Chrysler Museum’s collection.

Magenta Plains Gallery featured works by Haitian-born artist Paul Gardère. This collage from 1990 is called ‘Gazing Through History’, including a Picasso postcard to comment on the complexities of Afro-Caribbean diasporic identity, particularly for him as an immigrant artist dealing with forced systems of acculturation to Eurocentric aesthetics and values.
