SUMMARY:Paul Chan: Breathers
DESCRIPTION:New York-based artist\, writer\, and publisher Paul Chan came to prominence in the early 2000s with vibrant moving image works that touched upon aspects of war\, religion\, pleasure\, and politics. Around 2009\, following a decade of art-making\, Chan embarked on a self-imposed break\, turning his attention to experimental publishing and the economics of information by founding the press Badlands Unlimited. Taking the notion of a “breather” as its organizing principle\, this exhibition surveys Chan’s activities since his voluntary break from that point to the present. \nPaul Chan: Breathers opens with Nonprojections and Arguments\, two series that explore the possibilities of the moving image beyond its primary place of the screen or projection. Language\, design\, and networks of circulation are examined through the radical publications produced by Badlands Unlimited\, which include paperbacks\, e-books\, zines\, GIFs\, and books on stone tablets in genres such as erotic fiction\, artists’ writings\, and poetry. The exhibition also showcases a new series of kinetic sculptures entitled Breathers. These fan-powered billowing fabric bodies\, which move in a free-form choreography in the gallery\, are described by Chan as “animated by breath.” \nThe exhibition is accompanied by a catalog created in close collaboration with the artist\, designed and published by the Walker Art Center. \nPaul Chan: Breathers is organized by the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis and curated by Pavel Pyś\, Curator\, Visual Arts; with Matthew Villar Miranda\, Curatorial Fellow\, Visual Arts. The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis exhibition is organized by Misa Jeffereis\, Associate Curator. \nThe exhibition is made possible by generous support from Candace Barasch. Support for the exhibition catalog is provided by Greene Naftali\, New York; Maja Oeri\, Schaulager Basel; and a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of Walker Art Center publications. \nPaul Chan (b. 1973\, Hong Kong; lives and works in New York) was recently named a 2022 MacArthur Fellow by the MacArthur Foundation. He was the 2014 recipient of the Hugo Boss Prize\, which coincided with his solo exhibition Nonprojections for New Lovers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York (2015). In 2019\, Chan was one of six artists to co-curate the group exhibition Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection. Solo exhibitions include Odysseus and the Bathers\, Museum of Cycladic Art\, Athens (2018); Bathers at Night\, Remai Modern\, Saskatoon (2018); Rhi Anima\, Greene Naftali\, New York (2017); Pillowsophia\, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts\, Philadelphia (2017); Hippias Minor\, Deste Foundation Project Space\, Slaughterhouse\, Hydra (2015); Selected Works\, Schaulager\, Basel (2014); My laws are my whores\, The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago\, Chicago (2009); The 7 Lights\, New Museum\, New York (2008); and The 7 Lights\, Serpentine Gallery\, London (2007). Chan’s work is in the collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario\, Toronto; Art Institute of Chicago; Carnegie Museum of Art\, Pittsburgh; Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles; Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; The Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Stedelijk Museum\, Amsterdam; Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis; and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\, among others. \nThis exhibition is generously supported in part by the Whitaker Foundation. \nImage: Paul Chan\, 2chained or Genesia and Nemesia\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Hajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) announces a major solo exhibition of new and existing works by Montréal-based artist Hajra Waheed. Marking the first solo exhibition of Waheed’s work in the United States\, the presentation will include video\, sound installation\, painting\, and works on paper including newly commissioned works. The exhibition offers the first definitive consideration of the artist’s practice in the country and will be accompanied by a major exhibition catalog published by the Museum. Hajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition will be on view at CAM from September 8\, 2023–February 11\, 2024. \nWaheed’s multidisciplinary practice explores the legacies of colonial and state violence with a uniquely poetic approach and engagement with the world. Weaving between the intimate and infinite constellations of the communities of which she is a part\, her works in the exhibition—while rooted in the historical—imagine new possibilities towards a radically collective future. The artist’s work has been shown internationally and has received major recognition; recently\, Waheed received the 2022 Outstanding Achievement Award from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in Ottawa\, Canada and the 2023 Sharjah Biennial 15 Prize in Sharjah\, United Arab Emirates.  \nWaheed’s exhibition will include Hum (2020)\, the artist’s immersive\, 16-channel musical composition and sound installation. Originally commissioned for Lahore Biennale 02 and staged for Portikus in Frankfurt in 2020\, Hum will be re-created by the artist specifically for CAM’s galleries this fall as part of its US debut. This key work\, whose title translates to “We” in Urdu\, reflects on international solidarity movements that emerged in the second half of the 20th century through processes of decolonization in the Global South. The composition features eight hummed songs of resistance from South\, Central\, West Asia\, and Africa. The exhibition will also include a new series of sculptures\, drawings\, and painted works on paper commissioned for this exhibition alongside recent works including video and sculpture.  \nHajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition will be accompanied by a major exhibition publication featuring a conversation between Wassan Al-Khudhairi and the artist as well as guest essays from writer\, translator\, and educator Rayya Badran and writer and editor H.G. Masters. Designed by Marquand Books and distributed by D.A.P.\, the catalog will be published by CAM and released in fall 2023. \nHajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, former Ferring Foundation Chief Curator\, with Misa Jeffereis\, Associate Curator.\n \nMajor support for Hajra Waheed: A Solo Exhibition is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. This exhibition is generously supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts\, The Strive Fund\, and the Whitaker Foundation. Hum was made possible with the generous support of the Lahore Biennial Foundation and Portikus\, Frankfurt. The artist talk is sponsored by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nImage: Hajra Waheed\, Hum\, 2020. Multi-channel sound installation with custom speaker casings\, 36 minutes\, 17 seconds.

SUMMARY:Dominic Chambers: Birthplace
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) announces an exhibition of new works by Dominic Chambers\, the first in the artist’s hometown of St. Louis. The exhibition brings together a series of new large-scale paintings and sculpture by the artist\, a rising star in the art world who has recently been featured on Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” list as one of the most promising artists of his generation. As part of the exhibition\, CAM will also produce the first exhibition catalog of Chambers’ work. Dominic Chambers: Birthplace will be on view at CAM from September 8\, 2023–February 11\, 2024. \nChambers is known for his vibrant\, evocative paintings that depict Black subjects in moments of contemplation and leisure. Consistent throughout his oeuvre is the rich interior lives of his subjects. At times restful and meditative\, and other times scholarly and curious\, his subjects are almost always spirited away by the magic of reading and respite. In his luminous and deeply absorbing paintings\, Chambers has explored contemporary concerns around race\, personal and imagined narratives\, and the complexity of one’s interior life. As an artist and writer\, Chambers often draws inspiration from critical voices within the Black literary canon—particularly the writings of W. E. B. Du Bois\, Octavia Butler\, and Zora Neale Hurston. These influences take visual form in Chambers’ surreal landscapes and psychologically arresting portraits that present meditations on stillness and a radical interiority for his figures. \nIn Birthplace\, Chambers recalls the spaces which facilitated his inner awakening as an artist and nurtured his imagination. Classrooms\, playgrounds\, libraries\, and basketball courts are all represented within the exhibition\, and each holds significant meaning to the artist’s origin story. The works are invitations to reflect upon and celebrate environments essential to our social development and collective imagination. \nThis exhibition is generously supported in part by George Wells\, Barbara and Richard Rothschild\, Anonymous\, Ferring Family Foundation\, Ann R. Ruwitch and John Fox Arnold\, and the Whitaker Foundation. The exhibition publication is underwritten by the Jessica and Kelvin Beachum Family Collection. Special thanks to Lehmann Maupin. The artist talk is sponsored by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nDominic Chambers: Birthplace is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, former Ferring Foundation Chief Curator. \nImage: Dominic Chambers\, Fairground Park (the shadowy place)\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Justin Favela: Ruta Madre
DESCRIPTION:The Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) announces a new solo exhibition of works by Las Vegas-based artist Justin Favela. Known for his vivid large-scale murals and sculptures\, Favela will create a new site-specific installation inspired by lowrider culture and St. Louis’ connection to Route 66. The installation will feature the artist’s bold\, colorful designs and signature hand-cut paper technique on the Museum’s 60-foot Project Wall. The exhibition will also include a new video work as part of CAM’s outdoor Street Views projection\, on view from dusk to midnight every night. Justin Favela: Ruta Madre will be on view at CAM from September 8\, 2023–February 11\, 2024. \nFavela’s creative practice explores notions of authenticity\, place\, and identity through the use of familiar materials. Drawing inspiration from traditional Mexican or Latin American craft\, specifically piñata making\, Favela uses paper and glue to create dynamic and monumental forms. His piñata-like sculptures and installations become vibrant symbols of Latinx joy and visibility. Informed by his own Mexican-Guatemalan American upbringing\, Favela’s colorful and often humorous works aim to critique cultural stereotypes and create public dialogue around what it means to be Latinx in the US.  \nAs part of the exhibition programming for Ruta Madre\, Favela and his family will present a Family Fiesta at CAM during the fall exhibition season\, inviting hundreds of guests to participate in traditional Mexican and Guatemalan games and activities. In keeping with the artist’s socially-engaged practice\, Favela frequently activates his artwork by hosting Family Fiestas at museums and in unexpected locations. These public performances of the artist’s own family celebrations are designed to attract new museum audiences and draw attention to institutional inclusion efforts. \nThis exhibition is generously supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts\, Nancy and Kenneth Kranzberg\, and the Whitaker Foundation. Street Views is generously supported by Gateway Foundation and the Whitaker Foundation. The artist talk is sponsored by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nJustin Favela: Ruta Madre is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Misa Jeffereis\, Associate Curator. \nImage: Justin Favela\, Valley of Oaxaca\, after José María Velasco\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Jacolby Satterwhite: Spirits Roaming on the Earth
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition maps conceptual artist Jacolby Satterwhite’s extraordinary creative trajectory across multiple materials\, genres\, and modes of thinking. Drawing on a broad set of real and fantastical references and diverse influences that include modernism\, video gaming\, queer theory\, mythology\, and Black culture\, Satterwhite creates digital worlds of resilience\, reinvention\, and celebration. His intricately detailed animations and live action films of real and imagined worlds—populated by the avatars of Satterwhite and his friends—serve as the stage for the artist’s surreal and poetic world-building. \nIn the first major survey of his work\, CAM will present a wide range of Satterwhite’s media in the form of 3D-animated films\, immersive audio and video installations\, sculptures\, and new media works. The exhibition will be accompanied by the published monograph Jacolby Satterwhite: How lovly is me being as I am\, edited by Elizabeth Chodos and Andrew Durbin with narration by Sasha Bonét; essays by Malik Gaines\, Jane Ursula Harris\, and Legacy Russell; an interview with the artist by Kimberly Drew; and book design by Sonia Yoon. \nJacolby Satterwhite (b. 1986\, Columbia\, South Carolina; lives and works in Brooklyn) received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Arts\, Baltimore\, and his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania\, Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:Mona Chalabi: Squeeze
DESCRIPTION:Data journalist\, illustrator\, and writer Mona Chalabi presents a large-scale\, site-specific exhibition on CAM’s Project Wall. Mona’s work is informed by statistics gathered on politics\, human rights\, demographics\, Covid infections\, climate change\, and many other topics—finding truth in numbers through her journalism\, and making that truth easier to digest through her illustrations. As the artist puts it\, “My job is to take a story and to zoom out and provide context for readers. And the thing that excites me about data is the scale of it. Data gives you a new frame of understanding.” For her exhibition at CAM\, Mona focuses on endangered species of plants and animals\, some of which are so close to extinction that every remaining member can fit on a New York subway car (if they squeeze). \nMona Chalabi (b. London\, 1987; lives and works in London) has published work in The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, The New York Review of Books\, New York Magazine\, The Guardian and many more. She has written for radio and TV including NPR\, Gimlet\, Netflix (The Fix)\, BBC (Is Britain Racist? Radio 4 and The Frankie Boyle Show)\, and National Geographic (Star Talk). As an illustrator her work has been commended by the Royal Statistical Society and has been exhibited at several galleries including the Tate\, The Design Museum\, and the House of Illustration. As a producer and presenter she is one half of the team that created the Emmy-nominated video series Vagina Dispatches. And she presented and produced the audio experiment Strange Bird. Before she became a journalist\, Mona worked with large data sets in jobs at the Bank of England\, Transparency International\, and the International Organization for Migration. She studied International Relations in Paris and studied Arabic in Jordan. \nMona Chalabi: Squeeze is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Misa Jeffereis\, Associate Curator. \nThe exhibition is generously supported by the Whitaker Foundation\, and Nancy and Kenneth Kranzberg. \nImage: Mona Chalabi\, Endangered Species On A Train\, 2018.

SUMMARY:We didn’t ask permission\, we just did it…
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition We didn’t ask permission\, we just did it…\, guest curated by Manuela Paz and Christopher Rivera of Embajada\, revisits three seminal series of exhibitions in Puerto Rico\, from 2000 to 2016\, that ushered in an independent spirit of art making that is now prevalent in the region: M&M Proyectos’ PR invitationals\, organized by Michy Marxuach; the Gran Tropical Bienals\, founded by Pablo León de la Barra; and Cave-In\, initiated by Mike Egan. The original projects\, which took the form of idiosyncratic biennials\, happenings\, or interventions by artists working in an array of unconventional mediums and international in scope\, in part spurred the self-reliant gallery community flourishing in San Juan\, Puerto Rico today. The exhibition conveys the sense of the ambition\, collective action\, and self-sufficiency of the artist-makers in and from Puerto Rico\, despite infrastructural limitations. \nThe exhibition draws on the archives of each project\, following a timeline and featuring a selection of original artworks\, documentation\, and ephemera paired with recreated artworks commissioned for this exhibition. The presentation at CAM extends into multiple spaces of the museum\, including the Front Gallery\, Street Views\, an intervention in the café\, and a selection of sculptures in the courtyard. \nWe didn’t ask permission\, we just did it… is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by guest curators Manuela Paz and Christopher Rivera of Embajada\, San Juan. \nThe exhibition is generously supported in part by the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation\, Whitaker Foundation\, Berezdivin Collection\, Bernard I. Lumpkin and Carmine D. Boccuzzi\, Nada and Michael Gray\, and Eric and Tamara Schimmel. Special thanks to Barrett Barrera Projects. Street Views is generously supported by the Whitaker Foundation. The artist talk is sponsored by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nImage: Ignacio González Lang\, Open Mic. Fortaleza #302 (detail)\, 2000.

SUMMARY:Great Rivers Biennial 2022: Yowshien Kuo\, Yvonne Osei\, Jon Young
DESCRIPTION:The three artists selected for the tenth Great Rivers Biennial Arts Award Program\, Yowshien Kuo\, Yvonne Osei\, and Jon Young\, have proposed exhibitions that involve multi-component sculptures\, large-scale paintings\, and an immersive installation featuring video and photography. The award winners were chosen by a distinguished panel of jurors following individual studio visits with ten semi-finalists. More than 105 artists applied for the Great Rivers Biennial (GRB)\, a collaborative initiative between CAM and the Gateway Foundation designed to recognize artistic talent in the greater St. Louis metro area. Generously funded by the Gateway Foundation\, the GRB awards each artist with $20\,000 and a major exhibition in CAM’s main galleries. \nThe jurors—Carmen Hermo\, Associate Curator for the Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art; Jen Liu\, a New York-based visual artist working in video\, painting\, dance performance\, and biomaterial; and Hamza Walker\, Director of LAXART\, a nonprofit art space in Los Angeles\, and adjunct professor at the School of Art Institute of Chicago—selected artists through each stage of the process. \nYowshien Kuo’s paintings feature glimmering candy-colored surfaces to mask haunting themes\, alluding to social trauma as a result of historical and contemporary narratives. The figures’ reactions to themselves and even the audience’s gaze intend to encourage viewers to confront potentially harmful cultural and social norms. The figures are intertwined with an environment that appears as a collage of reality and dreamscape\, often including visual artifacts that reveal the mood and intentions of the scene taking place. For his exhibition at CAM\, Kuo conveys these themes in new large-scale paintings with subtle installation elements to encourage contemplation and self-reflection. \nYvonne Osei’s multidisciplinary creative practice explores topics of beauty\, racism and colorism\, the authorship and ownership of history\, as well as the residual implications of colonialism in postcolonial West Africa and Western cultures. Through performance art\, engaging public spaces\, site-specific installations\, video\, photography\, garment construction\, and textile designs\, Osei’s work serves as a mouthpiece for generations that have been marginalized as she pushes against unilateral perspectives. The exhibition at CAM features an immersive photo-video installation that utilizes the language of clothing and textiles\, as well as the medium of time\, to reckon with past and ongoing racial atrocities in the United States. \nThrough wood\, sand\, and fabric sculptures\, Jon Young explores the development of language and signage of the American West. These works\, which he refers to as “waymarks\,” adopt historical symbols from Paleolithic cave paintings\, ancient Greek pottery\, and imagery found in Hollywood Westerns and Looney Tunes cartoons. Young’s work investigates and collapses layers of time and signifiers\, particularly relating to the Romanticism of the West. The artist characterizes his practice as attempting “to make a map using fluctuating symbols\, to get back to a home that hasn’t existed for a very long time or for so long that you question if it existed at all.” \nGreat Rivers Biennial 2022 is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, Chief Curator. \n\nThe Great Rivers Biennial is made possible by the Gateway Foundation. \nImage: Yowshien Kuo\, Two Right Feet\, Snake Eyes and Cherry Pie\, 2022.
