“Beyond the Mirror: Work by Art Center Teens”
New paintings, drawings, photography, prints, videos, and collages demonstrate the intense study by over 20 teens participating in Hyde Park Art Center’s five teen programs: Writer’s Block, @rt+Tech Studio, Photo Studio, Youth Art Board and ArtShop. On view through June 12.
“Alice Hargrave: Paradise Wavering”
This exhibition will introduce a video work and 25 large-format photographs the artist produced by re-photographing old vacation snapshots from family albums or taking new travel photographs of her expeditions throughout the past decade. On view May 1 – July 24.
“Karen Reimer: Shoretime Spaceline”
Inspired by this history of the Art Center’s location, fiber artist Karen Reimer makes a new large-scale installation of fabric and sand to distort our perception of the horizon much like the disappearance of lake into land over a century ago. On view May 22 – August 13.
