Artists in Residence Open Studio with Philippe Durand
Thursday, July 8
5 - 8 pm, FREE
Hyde Park Art Center
5020 S. Cornell Avenue

Paris-based photographer Philippe Durand presents his work and upcoming projects in the 2nd floor studio. This event is in conjunction with the exhibition Spatial City: An Architecture of Idealism.

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 failed revolution and the retreat of optimism in the face of pragmatic reality. The exhibition traces the connection between the vanguard concepts of urban space dominant in the mid-twentieth century and championed by Yona Friedman to the art of the present, bringing together historical and recent examples of artists from the US and abroad. Originating curator Nicholas Frank (Institute of Visual Arts, Milwaukee) worked with participating curators Allison Peters Quinn (HPAC) and Luis Croquer (the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit) to develop the exhibition and tour.
