From
artsclubchicago.org:
In his first solo
exhibition in Chicago, Los Angeles-based and Jamaican-born artist Cosmo Whyte situates
the architectural archives of his late father as the structural ground for an
intervention and interrogation into the spaces and forms of diasporic protest,
spectacle, and witnessing. Presented by The Arts Club of Chicago, in The
Mother’s Tongue, Pressed to the Grinding Stone the
artist reformulates photojournalistic images onto materials
ranging from drawings to hand-painted beaded curtains and steel framings of
unrealized structures. In so doing, Whyte poetically asks “what makes
a witness? And what does it mean to have become one?”
