CHICAGO ILLINOIS Follow along here on Instagram as we turn a 144 year old Chicago storefront into a place for creative endeavors, events, and quality time. THAT SUMMER FEELING Replete with historical and cultural significance, forged through passing generations, Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, Wisconsin , still oozes a nostalgic all-American charm thanks to its current custodians... All original elements have been dutifully preserved, while any new structures added by Tereasa and David have been salvaged from neighbouring farms, treehouses and lakeside cabins. The result is an assemblage of locally sourced, recycled lodgings .

Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston

 



Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston


THE JEWISH MUSEUM, NEW YORK, NY | November 8, 2024 - March 30, 2025

James Cohan is pleased to announce Trenton Doyle Hancock’s upcoming exhibition, Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston, on view from November 8, 2024 through March 30, 2025 at The Jewish Museum in New York. Organized by curator Rebecca Shaykin, this exhibition brings together the work of two trailblazing artists of different generations—whose lives, both personal and creative, share unexpected and often remarkable connections.

A defining figure of twentieth-century avant-garde art, the Jewish painter Philip Guston addressed racism, antisemitism, and his own complicity in white supremacy through his now iconic paintings of buffoonish Klansmen. Trenton Doyle Hancock, a leading Black contemporary artist and cartoonist known for his collaged canvases, similarly draws on the language of comics to challenge and comment upon the American condition. 

Over the past decade, Hancock has produced a significant body of work in which Torpedoboy, his superhero avatar, confronts Guston’s hooded alter-ego.  This immersive installation will explore the artists’ shared commitment to investigating the legacy of white supremacy in the United States in ways that are both emotionally raw and deeply humorous.
