The
Daley Show art exhibition will feature portraits and other art specific
projects/installations of Mayor Richard M. Daley, by different Chicago
artists. The show will commemorate the mayor’s role as the preeminent
political figure in Chicago during the past two decades, and his
undeniable importance in shaping the future of the city. This
exhibition can be viewed as a farewell in many regards.
The
Daley Show, would employ the same message used for the 50 Alderman/50
Artists show organized earler in the year by Anna Cerniglia, Caitlin
Arnold, Jeremy Scheuch and Lauri Apple: Be open-minded, take a fair
approach to your subject, and focus on the subject’s humanity. As
curators, we will encourage participating artists to look beyond their
existing perceptions of the mayor, and the roles that he plays before
the public — politician, lawyer, executive, etc.— and to strive to
depict him as a human being. Mayor Daley is a fascinating, complex
person, and it is our belief that asking artists to interpret him will
draw attention to this fact.
After
Mayor Richard Daley, Jr. announcing that he is not running for office
in 2011, the curatorial team decided not to modify their original
exhibition vision focused around re-inventing the way people view
political posters, propaganda and other campaign imagery. Select
artists will work within the following categories: Logo, Posters,
Portrait, Sculpture, and Video. Taking over 3,800 square feet with
with Daley specific imagery will involve a group of 20-30 artists and
artmakers.
Mayor Daley and Aldermanic leaders have been personally invited.
