𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℝ𝕖𝕘𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝 is open at the Kemper Museum in Kansas City. I’m happy to be showing for the second time in the city where I grew up. The show runs until September 11th.

 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℝ𝕖𝕘𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝 is the first major multi-museum survey dedicated to contemporary artists based in the Midwest and will feature new and recent work, including several site-responsive commissions, by 23 artists working across painting, photography, installation, and performance. The artists come from a variety of backgrounds and are currently based in Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Madison, Minneapolis, and Saint Louis, among other locales throughout the Midwest. Celebrating the artistic and cultural complexity of the region, the exhibition provides a platform for a generation of artists who are shaping the current and future discourses of contemporary art and culture.

 𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℝ𝕖𝕘𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕒𝕝 is co-organized by Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition is accompanied by a digital catalog available here and a parallel program of conversations and events.

This project is supported by an Individual Artist Project grant by Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs. @ChicagoDCASE #DCASEgrants #DCASE #Chicago #Chicagoart
