Our Corner of the World

August 15 - September 30, 1989

Our Corner of the World featuring works by the following seventeen Illinois artists: Diane Cox, Neraldo de la Paz, Dan Devening, Joel Feldman, Aristotle Georgiades, David Hodges, Wendy Jacob, Donald McFadyen, Bea Nettles, Robert Paulson, Rosalyn Schwartz, Peggy Shaw, Linda Vredeveld, Chuck Walker, Florrie Wescoat, Mary Lou Zelazny, and Terri Zupanc.

Illinois is home to the second largest concentration of artists in the country. The fifty-seven works in Our Corner of the World represent a small sampling of the best visual art being produced statewide. Sharing a common environment does not necessarily mean sharing a collective aesthetic. These seventeen artists work in a range of media including collage, painting, photography, drawing, and sculpture. The subjects and concepts of the artworks are widely varied as well, ranging from Rosalyn Schwartz’ alien landscapes to David Hodges’ obscure narrative paintings to Wendy Jacob’s “breathing” sculpture.
