interview ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// looking at architecture. I say quite often that important ideas about architecture don’t always come from architects. Storefront was born out of the alternative art space movement in New York, founded in 1982 by a practicing architect who also worked as an artist. The Graham was founded in 1956 on that same principal of art and architecture, with which people might not be as familiar. Ernest Graham wanted to start a beaux arts school with architecture right alongside sculpture and painting. JECC: Many of the artists I’m interested in curators with a background in architecture. José Esparza Chong Cuy and Sarah Herda, Summer 2016 have a background in architecture, from Juan Pablo León de la Barra and Felipe Gonzalez are O’Gorman to Gonzalo Fonseca, Juan Downey people who I’ve worked with closely. and social environment around the making. to Alfredo Jaar, Gordon Matta-Clark to Pedro Studying architecture provides perspective That is something I learned through studying Reyes.

Are the creative ideas AKT: And at its root, architecture is about mostly manifest in exhibitions? organizing space, which can also be applied to a curatorial practice. How has studying architecture influenced your work as a curator? JECC: Curatorial practice is very spatial. You inhabit an exhibition and walk through very much as you would a domestic space, and that certainly informs my work. There are also SH: Depends on where you are. When we were doing studio visits for the Chicago Architecture Biennial in Mexico City, I found a huge difference between what you’re doing as a young architect in the U.S. and abroad. In Mexico, if you’re a young architect, you are building. In the United States most experimental ideas develop in schools, because that is the support system. There are lessons to be learned between Mexico City and Chicago, and now I’m thinking more about creating opportunities for young architects. Also in the biennial, we had an international survey in which you could see opportunities for experimentation play out across the world—in Asia, Africa and even in Los Angeles, there is experimentation on a domestic scale. AKT: Architecture has a heavy presence in Chicago, as the biennial emphasized. At Rhona Hoffman Gallery, I see how architecture seeps into how artists see the world, specifically Julia Fish, Judy Ledgerwood, Richard Rezac, Michael Rakowitz, and others. Have you noticed?EXPOCHGO | | 2016 JECC: Absolutely, it was one of the reasons I came to Chicago. From the World’s Fair to the Graham Foundation, the architectural history is 6 something I want to continue exploring. There has also been a fascinating history of people who passed through Chicago. AKT: Right, at Museo Jumex, you launched the exhibition series “Passengers,” focusing on international artistic figures who passed through Mexico during the twentieth century.
JECC: Yes, the “Passengers” series focused onartists who passed through Mexico and left animprint. That is a shared history with Chicago,a third coast or middle point between New Yorkand Los Angeles that many people pass through.I’m studying at the moment György Kepes, aHungarian who came with Moholy-Nagy tostart the New Bauhaus. This important Bauhaushistory of Chicago is told mainly throughMoholy-Nagy, but I’m interested in this sidecharacter. Kepes went on to Boston to found theCenter for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT.SH: And the Graham gives him a grant to startthis center…JECC: …during the Graham’s first year.SH: The history of Chicago surrounds us, yetthere’s a vibrant contemporary community ofpeople who work in the discipline of, but engageideas of architecture head on.

Sarah, tell me about figuresyou’ve elucidated at the Graham?SH: One of the projects that came out ofdigging through the archives at the Grahamis the exhibition on Anne Tyng, who workedwith Louis Kahn and was a true pioneer inadvanced geometry. Her work was completelyunknown to me, and I started to understandher relationship to projects in Kahn’s office; thefamous theoretical tower attributed to Kahnwas a project Tyng brought in. We had anunpublished manuscript, and I started talkingto this incredible late historian Detlef Mertins,who then brought in Anne, then in her ninetiesand living in Philadelphia. Those conversationsled to the exhibition at the ICA in Philly andthe Graham. The world wasn’t ready for herideas, and that transcript sat in the drawerfor some thirty or forty years. At the time ofthe exhibition, there was a lot in the air andmany young architects working in the realm ofadvanced geometry. Getting to expose Tyng’swork while she was alive was an incredibleexperience.Also one of the first projects I funded at theGraham was Alena Williams’ exhibition onNancy Holt. We had that exhibition while Nancywas alive and very active, and then that’s how Imet Barbara Kasten, with whom we ended updoing an exhibition.

How do you balance those curatorial interests along with maintaining a sustainable business, one that looks both locally and internationally? For us, having a business comes out of being excited about the work and believing that our enthusiasm for it will be shared by others. It really comes out of having a coherent, if sometimes hard to articulate, sense of why it is we do what we do in terms of the curatorial program. We have a sincere belief in our work that makes sense to the people who are paying attention to it, including collectors from outside and within Chicago. I don’t see it as a compromise one way or another. With every show that we do, we work very hard to allow it to achieve the highest level of success that we can. A good example of this are the catalogs we’ve done for almost every show. They take a lot of effort, but we know they pay for themselves, even if it takes a little while. We thought, “Let’s have a little section for our books to be in people’s collections.” It’s always enjoyable to go over to someone’s house and see they have a little CvD part of their bookshelf, because it means that the things we’ve been doing will have a legacy. When we started out, the orientation of the gallery was very Chicago. A lot of what we were doing was answering our questions about the contemporary scene in Chicago. Around four years into the gallery’s existence, we began to really question how that would work long term. We realized that the best situation was to allow people to see the Chicago work that we were doing in the context of the best work we could imagine showing alongside it from anywhere. I go back to something that Ken Vandermark said once about what we did at the Empty Bottle, which was that it was very important to present on the same stage the highest-level musicians from around the world and musicians from Chicago who were also considered topnotch. We show some of the best-known painters in the world and on the same walls we’re putting things by people who might not be so well known, but might be longstanding members of the Chicago community or might be obscure figures that deserve to be better known, from Japan or wherever it might be. With regard to blending the Chicago and international arts scenes and letting the quality of the work speak for itself, how do you translate this into your involvement with the selection committee for EXPO CHICAGO? The amount of time is equivalent to the amount of time you might spend if you were on a grant-review panel or something similar. There are two sides to it: one is prep, and there is a modest amount of preparation, and then there is the amount of time and effort and especially the negotiations that go on in the

It can be a matter of balancing young galleriesalong with established galleries. Fairs can getpretty routine, so we figure if we’re not interested,no one else will be interested. So we try to keepit from becoming routine, reinventing it everytime, so the people who come to them have someinteresting work to chew on.So the work itself really drives your approach atEXPO, like it does with your gallery?Definitely, it’s the same principle. Recently, Iworked on this film about the Chicago Imagiststhat Leslie Buchbinder made, called “HairyWho & The Chicago Imagists.” When I did theinterviews for the film, I spoke with Kerry JamesMarshall and he has this beautiful line; he says,you know, in the long run, great work will out,it always does. You can become cynical aboutthat, and you can become skeptical about itbecause we see time and again that great artistsget overlooked, but he is confident that that’s notgoing to be the case forever and that those peoplewill eventually be recognized. That’s the pointthat I take, that the most important thing is thequality of the work, the quality of the vision, theindependence and the sense of adventure that thework has. That’s what it’s all about for me.

Bringing together works from a diverse range of practices—includingperformance, sculpture, and architecture—this program examines and intervenes into thecodes and forms used to demarcate our everyday life, by appropriating or interruptingcommon gestures and modes of communication, capitalizing on and redeploying systemsof power and exchange, and imbuing quotidian experiences with the poetic. The featuredartists subvert these systems through performance, appropriation, and unexpectedintimations of materials. Illuminating the strangeness of some of our most fundamentalstructures and objects—whether political, visual, technological, economic, or social—they reveal the constructed and mutable nature of the actual ‘programs’ that shape ourlives.
