Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond

When September 21, 2024 – January 31, 2025 · Sep 21, 2024, 12:00 PM - Jan 31, 2025, 3:55 PM Where Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, 2320 West Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60622

"Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond," generously supported by the Terra Foundation through Art Design Chicago 2024. This upcoming exhibition aims to spotlight artists historically marginalized within mainstream art narratives, while acknowledging the enduring influence of white male dominance without excluding it entirely. Themes of colonialism, oppression, discrimination, and racism permeate societal structures and institutional art norms, positioning craft as an outsider within "high art."

Agency: Craft in Chicago from the 1970s-80s and Beyond is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.
