DESCRIPTION:Ron Athey – Marquis Von Bayros – Rachael Bos – Jamie Fle
 tcher – Danny Frownfelter – Norbert Kox – Bill Lilly – Monika Plio
 plyte – Sun Ra – Philipp Schopke – Jon Serl – Bronislaw “Bruno
 ” Sowa – Maria Vanik – Jean Wilson – Albert Zahn\n  \nPray\, carv
 e\, bleed\, sing. Insist that to look death in the face\, ritually and rep
 eatedly\, is how one kisses life on the lips. This is magic understood pla
 inly: not sleight of hand\, but the discipline of transformation\, and rel
 igion in its most degraded form. \nThe sacred\, in this view\, is not piet
 y but rupture: sacrifice\, ecstasy\, laughter\, daemonic entities\, and th
 e corpse. Death here is not simply a subject but a method. Art becomes the
  site where the restricted economy of production and survival is deliberat
 ely breached\, where a sovereign act of wasting oneself – bleeding\, pra
 ying\, dancing\, carving toward no useful end – recovers a continuity be
 tween beings that ordinary\, bounded selfhood forecloses. The works gather
 ed here stage exactly this breach: each refuses the discreteness the self 
 is supposed to maintain\, offering itself instead as a willful expenditure
 \, a controlled burn of the prairie’s boundary – on the border where t
 he living meet the dead. \nBeneath that scorched wound runs a river. Death
  is not an event waiting at the end of a life but a force already coursing
  through it. A pure differentiation\, the self already a multiplicity bein
 g continuously undone and reassembled beneath its own name. This current t
 reats the human not as a form to be preserved but as a threshold to be lau
 ghed at\, dissolved\, desire and death fused into a single accelerant burn
 ing through identity toward what is on the other side. This exhibition’s
  icons are not meditations on mortality\, they are remnants of mortality
 ’s discharge\, operations and apparatuses built by hand\, and by body\, 
 to run the current of death through the self on purpose – not to master 
 it\, but to see\, however briefly\, who or what rears its head from beneat
 h the surface. \n  \nOpening reception:\nAugust 7\, 2026\n5-8pm \n  \nCX

DESCRIPTION:Each week\, children discover a world of mixed-media materials
 . They’ll work with upcycled clothing and fabrics\, pre-loved crockery\,
  beads\, buttons\, ribbons\, and more. Then\, they’ll transform these un
 expected materials into artworks and keepsakes they’re proud of. \nTo be
 gin\, every session includes a friendly\, guided lesson. That way\, no one
  ever feels stuck. After that\, there’s plenty of room to experiment\, m
 ake choices\, and follow their imagination. There’s no single “right
 ” way to create – and that’s the whole point. \nMost importantly\, o
 ur club is relaxed and encouraging. Mess is welcome\, and every idea is wo
 rth exploring. Along the way\, children build real confidence. They learn 
 not only how to make things\, but also how to trust their own creativity. 
 \nAs a result\, they begin to see the world a little differently. Suddenly
 \, an everyday object can be full of possibility. Something old or forgott
 en can become something beautiful and new. \nIt’s creative\, hands-on\, 
 and a little bit magical. At the same time\, it introduces big ideas about
  imagination\, resourcefulness\, and caring for our planet. By giving old 
 things new life\, children discover just how much can be created from what
  we already have. \nEach week\, your child will leave with something they 
 made themselves. Even better\, they’ll leave with a growing belief that 
 they are an artist. \nNo experience needed. No pressure to be “good.” 
 Just bring curiosity – we’ll supply the rest. \nAges 7 – 13

DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Center for Native Futures and the UIC 
 Native American Support Program.\n\nExpanding on storytelling’s importan
 ce in Diné (Navajo) cosmology and philosophy\, Dakota Mace’s practice a
 cross photography\, weaving\, beadwork and installation contends with how 
 land is a carrier of memory. Hózhó (balance) in Diné is articulated thr
 ough four: the four cardinal points\, the colors black\, white\, blue and 
 yellow\, and the cross\, a motif representing Na’ashjéii Asdzáá (Spid
 er Grandmother). These concepts appear in Mace’s work in a manner that c
 elebrates the oral traditions and craft passed through generations. For in
 stance\, her approach to commemorating the plight of Dine ancestors at the
  hands of the U.S. Army in 1863 has taken the form of cameraless photograp
 hic prints\, created by exposing light-sensitive paper to natural elements
  in the Bosque Redondo landscape\, where they were interned. For this lect
 ure\, Mace delves into the cultural significance of the materials she empl
 oys.\n\nAccess information: This program is free and CART captioning will 
 be available. For questions and access accommodations\, email gallery400en
 gagement@gmail.com.\n\nAbout\n\nDakota Mace (Diné) is an interdisciplinar
 y artist who focuses on translating the language of Diné history and beli
 efs. Mace received her MA and MFA degrees in photography and textile desig
 n at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her BFA in photography from t

 tions and programs to develop dialogue on cultural appropriation and the i
 mportance of Indigenous design work. Mace is an MFA in studio arts faculty

DESCRIPTION:Intuit Art Museum (IAM)\, recognized worldwide as one of the f
 ew institutions dedicated solely to championing the work of self-taught ar
 tists\, marks the 250th anniversary of American craft with Cutting and Pas
 ting a World: The Paper Craft of Henry Darger\, an insightful new exhibiti
 on exploring the connection between the work of prolific Chicago-based art
 ist Henry Darger (1892-1973) and traditional American paper crafts. \nWith
  this exhibition\, Intuit Art Museum is a proud participant in Handwork: C
 elebrating American Craft 2026\, joining more than 250 organizations aroun
 d the country contributing exhibitions and events that showcase the depth 
 and diversity of American craft.  Cutting and Pasting a World opens at th
 e recently reimagined Intuit Art Museum\, John Jerit Center\, 756 N. Milwa
 ukee Avenue\, in Chicago’s vibrant West Town neighborhood on Wednesday\,
  June 17\, 2026. An opening reception is free and open to the public on We
 dnesday\, June 17\, from 6-8 pm. Cutting and Pasting a World will remain o
 n view through January 31\, 2027. \nDrawing on research by guest curator\,
  art historian and College of Charleston Associate Professor Dr. Mary Tren
 t\, Cutting and Pasting a World illustrates how the turn-of-the-century pr
 actices of making paper dolls and paper dollhouse scrapbooks may have infl
 uenced Darger’s evolution as an artist and maker.  By showcasing both f
 inished artworks and original source materials\, the exhibition demonstrat
 es how Darger adapted these humble pastimes into sophisticated methods for
  constructing large-scale\, mixed-media narratives. \n“This exhibition r
 eestablishes Darger’s works to their original form and concept\, not as 
 framed fine art objects\, but as double-sided pages in bound books\, roote
 d in paper doll and scrapbooking crafts. By returning them to their source
  in domestic practices of women and children\, we can finally read them as
  what they always were: a pointed critique of American family ideals\,” 
 said Trent. \nThe exhibition provides context for these crafts within the 
 early 20th-century movement to instill middle-class American “taste” i
 n a burgeoning immigrant population. Likely exposed to these practices wit
 hin social welfare institutions as a child\, Darger ultimately subverted t
 hem—transforming decorative domestic crafts into a profound and complex 
 commentary on the vulnerabilities of marginalized children. \n“Intuit co
 ntinues to break new ground\, providing audiences with fresh insights into
  the influences on and processes involved in Henry Darger’s artmaking\,
 ” said Intuit Art Museum President Debra Kerr. “The mysteries surround
 ing Darger and his art continue to engage and inspire fans of self-taught 
 art from around the world.” \nCutting and Pasting a World will be showca
 sed as a special exhibition within Intuit’s signature Duchossois Family 
 Henry Darger Exhibition Gallery\, which celebrates the legacy of the noted
  Chicago artist over two floors. This exhibition serves as a companion to 
 the permanent (and popular) Henry Darger Room on the Museum’s lower leve
 l\, a recreation of Darger’s apartment at 851 Webster Avenue in Lincoln 
 Park\, which doubled as his home and studio for more than 40 years. \nRela
 ted exhibition programming  \nOn Thursday\, Oct. 15\, 2026\, as part of In
 tuit’s monthly open-late program\, Art After Work\, Intuit will host a t
 alk with Mary Trent\, curator of Cutting and Pasting a World. Trent will d
 iscuss the exhibition and share insights from the research that shaped its
  development. From September through the remainder of the exhibition\, Int
 uit’s Center for Learning and Engagement will feature a large-scale inte
 ractive installation inspired by paper doll house traditions highlighted i
 n the exhibition. Designed by Intuit educators\, the participatory install
 ation will invite visitors to contribute their own creative elements\, fos
 tering engagement with the exhibition’s themes through collaborative mak
 ing and imaginative play. \nHandwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026\, a
  nationwide Semiquincentennial initiative to showcase the importance of th
 e handmade both throughout our history and in contemporary life\, is prese
 nted by Craft in America\, the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated do
 cumentary series. Handwork 2026 is a year-long collaboration among organi
 zations\, educators\, and makers to celebrate the diversity of the crafts 
 that define America\, bringing compelling stories and underrepresented art
  and artists into the spotlight through the following programs. Intuit is

 ative Arts Center\, Joy Machine and Lillstreet Art Center. \nFounded in 19
 91 as a nonprofit\, Intuit is a premier museum of self-taught art. Intuit

 \nRebeca Alemán Frida Kahlo — Kris Tori Sylvia Plath \nAn extraordinar
 y encounter between two icons of Contemporary Art\, Mexican painter Frida 
 Kahlo and American poet Sylvia Plath\, in which they share the most intima
 te and passionate moments of their lives. \nMUSES imagines an encounter be
 tween Frida Kahlo and Sylvia Plath\, two of the twentieth century’s most
  iconic artists. Separated by time\, geography\, and culture\, both women 
 challenged the expectations placed upon them and forged artistic voices th
 at continue to resonate across generations. Through a visually striking an
 d deeply sensory staging\, MUSES explores art\, identity\, love\, female f
 reedom\, and the cost of refusing to become who society expects them to be
 . MUSES invites audiences into an intimate confrontation with two artists 
 whose questions still feel dangerously contemporary. A haunting theatrical
  experience that reclaims Frida Kahlo and Sylvia Plath as deeply human voi
 ces. \nRunning Time: 1 hour 30 minutes with no intermission \nLocation:

DESCRIPTION:Kokandy Productions’ critically acclaimed revival of the 10-
 time 2025 Jeff Award–nominated musical JEKYLL & HYDE will make its Bro
 adway In Chicago debut at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. The
  engagement follows last year’s completely sold-out and extended Chicago
  run — which marked the musical’s first staging in the city in more th
 an 15 years. Directed by Producing Artistic Director Derek Van Barham with
  music direction by Nick Sula and choreography by Brenda Didier. \nMurder 
 and chaos are pitted against love and virtue in this sweeping gothic music
 al. The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on stage in the 
 musical phenomenon\, Jekyll & Hyde. Based on the classic story by Robert 
 Louis Stevenson and featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from mult
 i-Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar and Grammy-wi
 nning Leslie Bricusse\, Jekyll & Hyde has mesmerized audiences the world
  over.
