Kerry James Marshall

Catalog of work by 2004 winners of Chicago Artadia: The Fund of Art and Dialogue artists' prize.

Exhibition book for a showing of works by Kerry James Marshall at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, May 6-June 28, 1998. Marshall works in the genre of history painting, seeking to "reread the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement and the whole of African-American history in relation to a very complex present" (Acknowledgements). The exhibit also included prints, sculpture, and video. Includes intepretive essays by Cheryl I. Harris and Richard J. Powell, with extracts from the writings of Will Alexander.

Collection of exhibitions put on by the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago circa 1990-2000.

Record of all works presented at "Takeover," an exhibit at the Hyde Park Art Center from April 24-June 11, 2006. The concept of the exhibit was that artists were "asked to assume control of the building as a medium for an artwork or series of artworks. Artists were invited to correspond, utilize, or deconstruct the art center" (from curator's introduction). Includes wide variety of contemporary art created in various media.

Published to coincide with a two-part exhibition presented in 2008 at the Van Abbemuseum in the Netherlands and at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, Heartland offers an idiosyncratic look at innovative forms of cultural production taking place across the vast majority of the United States. This book is part exhibition catalog, part critical reader: contributors explore the region through topics ranging from art and music to urban farming and political history. Through an engaging mix of essays, personal meditations, and images, Heartland challenges understandings of place and community and explores the rule of contemporary art in shaping our changing world. --from book jacket
