This exhibition featured a series of new paintings by the acclaimed Houston-based artist.
In the fall of 2022, the Neubauer Collegium presented an exhibition of new paintings by Rick Lowe, the acclaimed Houston-based artist who was a Visiting Fellow at the Neubauer Collegium from 2019 until 2021. Lowe’s “notes” on the Great Migration took shape in the wake of another Chicago-centered project begun in 2019: his Black Wall Street Journey, part of the Toward Common Cause exhibition celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the MacArthur Fellows Program. (That exhibition, in turn, was informed by the Black Wall Street Journey research project at the Neubauer Collegium.) The centerpiece of Notes on the Great Migration was a new mode of presenting Lowe’s two-dimensional work – in a manner fitting for the artist’s seminal contribution to the development of a properly American brand of Sozialplastik, or “social sculpture.”
