This group exhibition featuring work by 22 artists from North, Central and South America explores the intertwined relationship between living materials–such as stones, avocado, cacao, achiote, cochineal, and clay–and contemporary art.

Assembled from found and produced footage, Arthur Jafa’s 40-minute experimental film examines how visual media can transmit the “power, beauty, and alienation” of Black music in American culture.

Taking its title from the 1973 studio album and 1974 film by Sun Ra, the selected works in this group exhibition consider “space” as a conceptual framework, through the themes of afro-futurism, belonging, placemaking, and the act of taking up space.

Chicago-based artist Mike Cloud makes mixed-media assemblages that are typically composed of stretcher bars configured into geometric shapes and universal forms with objects embedded in thick oil paint.
