Exhibition Keynote: Jordan Ann Craig in Conversation with m.s. RedCherries
@ Block Museum of Art
40 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Wednesday, February 26th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
On view through Sunday, April 13th
Join us for an exhibition keynote conversation in celebration of It takes a long time to stay here: Paintings by Jordan Ann Craig. Artist Jordan Ann Craig is known for her large-scale paintings that draw from the complex geometric and color-based abstraction of Northern Cheyenne beadwork, Pueblo ceramics, and other Indigenous sources. The work’s titles—at times playful or confounding—are drawn from comments the artist collects from family, friends, and life experiences, inviting viewers to make meaning in the space between image and words.
Jordan Ann Craig will be joined by poet m.s. RedCherries, a friend and collaborator of the artist, whose poem “Spinning Air” has inspired the title of the exhibition. Their conversation will be moderated by Jordan Poorman Cocker, 2021-2025 Terra Foundation Guest Co-Curator of Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak/Chicagoland and the Curator of Indigenous Art at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
