From the Museum of Science and Industry, Betty and I then traveled to …
DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E 56th Place
the DuSable Museum of African American History for a look at Terrence Reese’s exhibit, Reflections. In this series of black and white images, Reese documents influentials known and admired who have shaped our history. Composed in their personal environment, each image captures a moment, while mirroring or reflecting the person within the photograph. In all there are about 20 images but here are a few below to peak your interest…
June Kelly
Helen O. Dickens
Barry Martin
The Nicholas Brothers
B. B. King
Aside each image is a touching memoir written to more fully understand the person’s story.
Last, we headed over to …
Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S. Cornell Ave.
Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Sabina Ott’s installation, who cares for the sky, can be viewed, climbed, passed through and contemplated in until May 1. Inspired by Gerturde Stein’s, The World is Round Ott recreates the story of the challenge to better understand the world after a laborious mountain climb. In this collaborative effort, video and countless art pieces by other artist contribute to the “journey” Ott takes us on.
How great is it to be able to physically engage with ART?!
Ok! So Betty and I are off on our next adventure but first extending to you the invitation to do the same. Along the way, look for art and artistic expression everywhere and post it here all while you SHOW ME WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!!!
