Humans Being: Disability In Contemporary Art
April 1 - June 4, 2006
Chicago Cultural Center, Michigan Avenue Galleries
78 E. Washington, St Chicago
Free
This groundbreaking exhibition challenges the way disability has stayed beneath the radar on the art world's screen. Works address concepts of illness, impairment, discrimination, alienation, sexuality, community, identity and the political aspects of disability. A wide range of media and aesthetic strategies represents a spectrum of disabilities. Humans Being includes work by many artists with disabilities, as well as non disabled artists who have explored the topic in depth.
Organized by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, co curated by Illinois artist Riva Lehrer and Sofia Zutautas, Assistant Curator at the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. Humans Being: Disability in Contemporary Art has been underwritten by Maria Magnus and is made possible through generous gifts from Beatrice C. Mayer, Michael Louis Minns, Mary McFadden, Good's of Evanston, and The Compounder Pharmacy.
This exhibition is presented as part of the Bodies of Work: The Chicago Festival of Disability Arts and Culture. Programs. Catalogue.
