SUMMARY:Twice as Hard\, Half as Much
DESCRIPTION:wice as hard\, half as much brings together a body of work that recalls lessons taught to the artist by her mother and reinforced by American society. The exhibition examines the impact of the Cultural Revolution and the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 on her parents’ narratives and\, consequently\, her own. Through sculpture\, installation\, textiles\, and photography\, the artist explores the transfer of paranoia and anxiety from parent to child. The works tangle early life occurrences with the artist’s recent past\, expressing how these lessons have permeated every aspect of her life. \n\nMARINA PENG is a multimedia installation artist. She received her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2017. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at spaces including 50/50 (Kansas City\, MO)\, ACRE Projects (Chicago\, IL)\, Open House (Kansas City\, MO)\, The Luminary\, Granite City Art and Design District\, and Flood Plain. She has attended residencies at ACRE\, Caldera Arts\, Elsewhere\, OTIS College of Art & Design\, and Paul Artspace. Recent awards include a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant\, a Futures Fund grant\, and a Vermont Studio Center Fellowship. In addition to her practice\, she is a co-organizer of Public Service Announcement:\, a public art site located in the Marine Villa neighborhood of St. Louis.

SUMMARY:Ebony G. Patterson
DESCRIPTION:The garden has figured as a recurring motif throughout Ebony G. Patterson’s practice. For her CAM exhibition\,  …when the cuts erupt…the garden rings…and the warning is a wailing…\, she juxtaposes two new works: an immersive installation in the Front Gallery and a monumental\, multilayered paper collage extending from CAM’s 60-foot-long Project Wall. The new works represent Patterson’s expansion into a new phase of her practice\, emerging from the foundation of her previous garden-themed constructions. The garden serves as a “postcolonial” symbol of a past that is never fully buried and barely visible. Her immersive gardens grow out of a complex entanglement of race\, gender\, class\, and violence. “Beauty\, for me\, is a tool of seduction\,” the artist has said\, “a trap.” The coexistence of beauty and horror in Patterson’s environments parallel the abundant plant-life she conjures through an excess of embellished materials. The artist titles her Project Wall piece\, …and the dew cracks the earth\, in five acts of lamentation…between the cuts…beneath the leaves…below the soil…. To construct the work\, Patterson shreds and tears paper by hand\, damaging the material in the process of making new forms\, parallel to the act of gardening when living things are shred\, torn\, and cut. Her gardens are never far from notions of violence\, of memorial\, of blood and tears. \nEbony G. Patterson: …when the cuts erupt…the garden rings…and the warning is a wailing… is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, Chief Curator. \nEbony G. Patterson (b. 1981 in Kingston\, Jamaica; lives and works in Kingston and Chicago\, IL) received the prestigious Stone & DeGuire Contemporary Art Award from her alma mater\, Washington University in St. Louis\, in 2018. Patterson’s solo exhibitions and projects have been shown at many U.S. institutions including the Baltimore Museum of Art (2019)\, and The Studio Museum in Harlem (2016). Her touring exhibition …while the dew is still on the roses… premiered at Pérez Art Museum Miami (2018–19); traveled to Speed Art Museum\, Louisville\, KY (2019); and opens on February 27\, 2020 at Nasher Museum of Art\, Duke University\, Durham\, NC. Upcoming exhibitions include biennials in Liverpool and Athens\, and her first solo European exhibition at Kunsthal Aarhus in Denmark\, all in 2020. Patterson received a United States Artists Fellowship in 2018\, and is the resident artist at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans in the fall of 2020. Prior to receiving her MFA at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts\, Washington University in St. Louis (2006)\, Patterson attended the Edna Manley College\, in Kingston\, Jamaica\, receiving a BFA in painting (2004).

SUMMARY:Great Rivers Biennial
DESCRIPTION:The three artists selected for the ninth Great Rivers Biennial Arts Award Program\, Kahlil Robert Irving\, Tim Portlock\, and Rachel Youn\, have proposed exhibitions that involve kinetic sculpture\, installation\, ceramic\, and digital prints. The award winners were chosen by a distinguished panel of jurors following individual studio visits with ten semi-finalists. More than 80 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—José Carlos Diaz\, Chief Curator at The Andy Warhol Museum and a 2018 fellow at the Center for Curatorial Leadership; Christopher Y. Lew\, the Nancy and Fred Poses Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art and co-curator of the 2017 Whitney Biennial; and Amanda Ross-Ho\, multidisciplinary artist\, participant in the 2008 Whitney Biennial\, and an associate professor and the University of California\, Irvine—selected artists through each stage of the process. \nKahlil Robert Irving observes how materials and emotions are linked\, simultaneously existing as static/dynamic\, heavy/light\, political/anarchic\, old/new. Through his practice he intends to break cultural rules that have been developed by colonialism\, and aims to navigate and challenge those constructs through materials\, form\, and performance. \nTim Portlock’s art focuses on the divergence between the idealism of American exceptionalism and the lived realities of contemporary American cities with declining populations. He contrasts the blighted buildings of cities like St. Louis; Camden\, New Jersey; and San Bernardino\, California\, with the idealism articulated through the conventions of 19th century American landscape painting. \nRachel Youn sources materials and objects from home décor stores and hours of online secondhand shopping on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. In the studio\, these objects are transformed into kinetic pieces that are often times clumsy\, erotic\, and absurd\, playing with the relationship between manufactured goods and spirituality. \nGreat Rivers Biennial 2020 is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Misa Jeffereis\, Assistant Curator.

SUMMARY:Feelings of Home: A Need to Simplify
DESCRIPTION:Virtual opening reception at 7 pm on Friday\, July 10\, on Instagram Live @hevcasso. The exhibition runs through Aug. 14. \nGallery viewings are by appointment only. The sign-up form will be posted as it becomes available. Please review our COVID-19 Mitigation Policies prior to arriving. \n\n\n“A need to simplify” is a reflection space that pays homage to the matriarchal lineage and sacred spaces of the women in my family and how those spaces are steeped with influences of protective magic\, through nature\, numbers\, patterns\, and objects. This space calls its viewers to take pause and reflect on their own maternal surroundings and ways of “making sacred space.” Calling attention to\, not only\, the unique ways that the black maternal lineage creates safety but also the synchronicity and necessity for safety that we share.

SUMMARY:Derek Fordjour: SHELTER
DESCRIPTION:For his first major solo museum exhibition\, Derek Fordjour constructs an environment that places viewers in the heart of a storm. SHELTER\, a seemingly makeshift\, ramshackle structure of corrugated metal walls and a dirt floor is populated by the artist’s signature paintings and sculptures. The work is constructed to heighten visitors’ awareness of their temporal nature\, the tenuous circumstances in which art is sometimes made\, and the vulnerability of millions caught up in human migrations across the earth\, seeking shelter from a multiplicity of storms. A New York-based artist of Ghanaian heritage\, Fordjour works primarily in the realm of portrait painting to create vibrant\, multi-textured images. Forming a procession across the museum’s Project Wall\, Fordjour’s Player Portraits\, from a series of 100\, lead visitors toward the installation. Many of his paintings express the spectacle of sporting events—marching bands\, cheerleaders\, crowds\, and athletes. By using sports as a metaphor\, the artist subtly addresses themes relating to race\, systemic inequality\, and aspiration\, particularly in the context of American identity. \nDerek Fordjour: SHELTER is organized for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis by Wassan Al-Khudhairi\, Chief Curator\, with Misa Jeffereis\, Assistant Curator. \nDerek Fordjour (b. 1974\, Memphis\, Tennessee) has exhibited at Night Gallery\, Los Angeles; the Brooklyn Academy of Music; and Josh Lilley Gallery\, London\, among other venues. He has received commissions for public projects from the Whitney Museum Billboard Project and from the Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York City for a permanent installation at the 145th Street Subway Station in Manhattan. He was the 2016 Sugarhill Museum Artist-in-Residence\, a resident of the 2017 Sharpe Walentas Studio Program in New York City\, and was awarded the 2018 Deutsche Bank NYFA Fellowship. He frequently serves as a lecturer at institutions and as a Core Critic at Yale University School of Art. His work is held in collections throughout the United States and Europe\, including the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Perez Art Museum\, the Dallas Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Fordjour is a graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta\, Georgia\, and earned a Master’s Degree in Art Education from Harvard University and an MFA in painting from Hunter College. Fordjour was selected as an Artsy Vanguard artist for 2019.
