Join us for a private tour of a new exhibition on Edgar Miller: artist, designer, and creator of Handmade Homes. Edgar Miller (artist, craftsperson, curator, designer, illustrator) is probably best known for his handmade homes throughout Old Town and Lincoln Park. Paradoxically, Miller was aware of the rise of modern design and collaborated with Modernist architects; yet his own work reveals an individual unconcerned with trends, labels, or the tenets of modern art. The DePaul Art Museum is mounting a new exhibition that explores all facets of Miller's career. Join exhibition curator and Docomomo US/Chicago Board member Dr. Marin R. Sullivan for a lively and insightful exploration of Edgar Miller's complex relationship to modern design. Afterwards, we’ll continue the conversation at the Red Lion Pub located two blocks away, at 2446 N. Lincoln Ave. Cash bar, plenty of good company, and a chance to geek out with fellow Edgar Miller enthusiasts. Space is limited for this tour. There is no admission charge to visit the DePaul Art Museum. Ticket sales for this tour help support Docomomo’s ongoing mission to celebrate modern design in Chicago.

Join Berlin-based artist Beatriz Morales for an artist talk on the occasion of her new exhibition, Capisayo, a site-specific installation at the historical Edith Farnsworth House. Morales will be introduced by curator Esenija Bannan, and the talk will be followed by a light reception. ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Located in Plano, Illinois, the Edith Farnsworth House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for Dr. Edith Farnsworth, was completed in 1951 and is one of the most iconic examples of modern architecture. With its simple and clean lines, flat, horizontal footprint, white-painted steel beams, and walls of glass and natural light, the single-story house is in complete harmony with nature. Surrounded by woods and near the Fox River, the Edith Farnsworth House has been flooded by the local river numerous times, resulting in considerable damages to the house. Reacting to the space and its history, Beatriz Morales created the fiber art piece Capisayo as a sign of protection, accompanied by works merging painting with embroidery, as well as a number of abstract portrait paintings. The exhibition expands onto the premises of the historic site, including the gallery, where a large agave fiber installation piece dyed with natural ink titled Quimera envelops the round shape of the gallery space. A Capisayo is a Mexican rain cape woven from palm leaves which, apart from its protective qualities, is also an aesthetically striking, even somewhat mysterious garment. Woven of an abundant natural resource – palm leaves – it is highly functional, offering substantial protection in times of torrential rain. In all of Mexico, there are only a handful of artisans left who still produce Capisayos. Morales transports the intricate weaving and knotting techniques of these Capisayos into a textile installation made of agave fiber, a medium which over the last decade has become central to the artist’s practice and expression of heritage. Beatriz Morales Born and raised in Mexico City, Beatriz Morales left her native country in 2001 to pursue largely autodidactic studies in painting and fashion design in Europe. Morales combines an investigative, abstract-expressionist approach with textile art, fibre art and conceptual components, often realized in monumental installations. As part of her practice, the artist incorporates traditional, pre-hispanic dyeing techniques, both in her work with plant fibers as well as when painting on canvases. Her paintings and installations are held in institutional and private collections in Mexico, Germany, Austria, the Groeninghe Collection Belgium, Switzerland, France, Canada and the USA, and were featured in numerous print and online publications. Beatriz Morales lives and works in Berlin and Hidalgo, Mexico. This event is presented in partnership with the Edith Farnsworth House. Information Source: Goethe-Institut Chicago | eventbrite

Join us for the premier of our featured artist series that will continue into the Fall, Winter & Spring months. Line, Form & Texture is an experimental series of work that celebrates traditional ancient pottery of Africa & Asia. With this line of work, Braud explores the fundamentals of art and breaks down the way in which we perceive art - through form, texture and line. Using a multidisciplinary approach, each piece will service as a triptych composed of graphite, acrylic, watercolor and ceramic. Reception will be accompanied by a brief artist talk and Q & A at 8:00PM. Light beverages & hors d’oeuvres will be served. Please RSVP at the link below if you plan to attend the artist talk. About the artist. Arthur Braud received his bachelors of fine arts in 2015 from Western Michigan University. Since then, he has dedicated the past decade to the visual arts as a professional photographer, designer, and painter. Braud has participated in over 20 gallery showings, including the Grand Rapids Art Prize, and Studio Kura in Itoshima, Japan. Braud has previously managed gallery spaces in both Portland, OR and his hometown Kalamazoo, MI. His work is strongly motivated by the experience and psychological movement it carries with people. Now on its third anniversary, he considers MMO to be his longest ongoing art installation where he is able to combine his love for design, culture, art and photography.
