The Hyde Park Art Center is pleased to announce Spatial City: An Architecture of Idealism, a major touring exhibition of contemporary art drawn from the French Regional Contemporary Art Funds (Frac) opening with a reception from 3-5pm on Sunday, May 23, 2010 and remaining on view through August 8, 2010. Spatial City brings together an international, multi-generational array of artists - with an emphasis on artists living in France - whose work contends with idealism, utopian thinking and, in counterpoint, the cynicism that follows a failed revolution and the retreat of optimism in the face of pragmatic reality.

The Hyde park Art Center introduces new sculptures and paintings by Josue Pellot in the exhibition Pellot Gonzalez Rios on view from May 30 until August 22, 2010 in the Cleve Carney Gallery. The title of the exhibition distinguishes the domestic tone of the works included by focusing on the artist's formal family name. Recollections of family members and common household mementos of Puerto Rican culture have inspired the emergent Chicago-based artist to create this body of work addressing the hybridization of cultural identity in new migrant generations of Puerto Ricans.
