Artist Cosmo Whyte with Jeremiah M. Davis
On the Exhibition
About the Program
Coinciding with the citywide celebration of Panafrica Weekend, artist Cosmo Whyte (whose work is currently on view in The Arts Club’s galleries) will be in conversation with longtime colleague and director emeritus of Oklahoma Contemporary Jeremiah Matthew Davis. The two will explore the three distinct bodies of work present in The Mother’s Tongue, Pressed to the Grinding Stone: drawings, the artist’s distinct beaded curtain works, and a new architectonic installation in the context of both his biography and his deep theoretical engagement with postcolonialism, belonging, and the poetics of space. From his roots in painting to his experiments in sound art and performance, to his ongoing posthumous collaboration with his father’s unrealized architectural designs, the conversation will trace the arc of his artistic practice from Bennington College to The Arts Club of Chicago.
Free and Open to All
