Gerald Jackson’s First European Solo Exhibition Opens at Kienzle Art Foundation
The Kienzle Art Foundation presents KEEP LOOKING: Works from 1978–2025, the first European solo exhibition by Gerald Jackson (b. 1936, Chicago), curated by Matthew Higgs of White Columns. Spanning nearly five decades, the show surveys Jackson’s interdisciplinary practice—encompassing painting, sculpture, collage, clothing, poetry, and performance—with a focus on four recurring series: his Skid works, spray-painted and stenciled pieces, explorations of color and language, and hand-made garments.
Titled after a 1988 Sade song, KEEP LOOKING reflects Jackson’s deeply personal and politically engaged vision, shaped by his experiences in Chicago and New York’s art and jazz scenes. The exhibition highlights his use of found materials and wearable art—described by art dealer Jack Tilton as “three-dimensional funk”—and underscores his global sensibility. As critic Roberta Smith noted, Jackson’s garments are “dazzling in their colors” and “made for citizens of the world.”
