Perennial Space: Online Gallery Opening June 5

06/04/20

By Conrad Cheung

The School of the Art Institute Sculpture graduates of 2021 are excited to announce the launch of Perennial Space, a public and experimental platform aimed at new modes of exhibition, collaboration, and artmaking. Conceived in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, Perennial Space imagines the gallery not as a single institutional space but as a set of different sites, across which community persists in spite of distance.

The inaugural show of Perennial Space, Self-portraits that actually aren’t portraits at all, but are still portraits of ourselves nonetheless, opens on June 5 at noon CST.

The exhibition showcases recent work that meditates on character and persona, protagonism and antagonism, actorship and POV, and the personal and autobiographical. In it, wide-ranging modes of seeing and representation track and uncover changing notions of selfhood. 

The exhibition features Cara Dunkerley, Charlie Clement, Conrad Cheung, Fátima Bernal, Jess Bass, Luba Mendelevich, Muxi Zhuo, Sung Ho Bae, Yue Xu, and YuHsin Wu.
