Color: Fully Engaged runs through November 5th at the A+D Gallery at Columbia College in Chicago. Color makes a comeback every day. We open our eyes, we turn on the light, we see, we remember color.
Color: Fully Engaged is a multi-faceted exploration of the meaning and interpretation of color. Via works created as part of fine arts, design and architecture disciplines, this exhibition follows modern and contemporary trajectories of color as both singular idea and associative methodology. Investigating color symbolism and hierarchies within historical, cultural and theoretical contexts, each selection ponders what may or may not be universal about color. The exhibition catalog includes an introduction by curator Jamilee Polson Lacy, essay by Claudine Isé, and artists’ interviews.
