Perk Yu, Photograph, 2010This Wednesday, we went to the Chicago Cultural Center. I had been there for many times, so it is not a new experience for me. We went to the Two Galleries; the first one is Christine Tarkowski’s Last Things Will Be First and First things Will Be Last the ship in the; the second exhibit is the 4th floor, Expect the Unexpected by Hollis Sigler. She was a Chicago artist who told her life with breast cancer.
In the exhibit, I found out a paper cut. The paper cut is called She Always Had Hope. At the frame, he wrote “She always had hope. She look her disease seriously enough, she just thought there was a way out.” In the picture, all the windows and door in the room was blocked. A drawing table putted in the middle of the room and the light shine on it. It is an art work Hollis Sigler made in 1995. I think this art work is to tell people that during the battle with breast cancer, she lost herself, but she found her hope, and it was to use paintings and drawing telling people about how she feel, and how breast cancer affect people.
Hollis Sigler, Stepping Outside of Her Life, Lithograph on paper, 17 x 23 in, 1996.When you go down to the Michigan Avenue Galleries at first floor, you will find Joel Sheesley’s recent paintings posted there in the exhibit named Up is Down. I think those paints a very cool, not just because of the highly realistic, but the theme of those paintings is to having us look more carefully at the world in small details of every day. After I saw those paintings, I asked myself many questions about what is my goal and hope…This exhibit is open between Jan 9, 2010 - Apr 4, 2010 and the Galley Talk will be on Thursday, March 11, 12:15pm with the artist. Feel free to go there and have fun!
Joel Sheesley, Angle of a Dream, Painting , 45x75", 2008After the visiting, I asked myself a question. Why do people choose those artworks to put them on a gallery? This question was in my head for a long time, but I can’t tell it…
