 Exhibition of Contemporary Art By Mature Artists Now Open At The Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery posted October 24, 2011
LOCKPORT—On October 11, 2011, the Illinois State Museum Lockport Gallery opened a new exhibition entitled Luminous Ground: Artists with Histories. This exhibition explores the resilience of age and creativity and highlights the work and careers of eleven elder Chicago artists who are, or were, creatively active into their later decades. Many are nationally and internationally known; all are vitally creative. This exhibition suggests that, if there is a “Fountain of Youth,” it is creativity. Special events and programs are planned. The exhibition runs through April 13, 2012. The artists of Luminous Ground: Artists with Histories share three important similarities: 1) the creation of life-long bodies of work of the highest caliber; 2) the influencing of multiple artists across generations, not only by their art but through teaching and community involvement; 3) commitments of fifty to sixty years or more to the exploration of personal creativity. Their art arises from luminous ground, a reservoir of creativity that has sustained and nurtured their art through the decades. Read more ...
