Scott Vincent Campbell

I’m super excited to be showing some works with Sofia Macht and David Sprecher at W.I.H.S.H Projects, opening next Sunday, April 26th from 2-5pm🤗 Come enjoy some wonderful gestures navigating “trace, mark, and absence.” Their practices truly inspire me, and a huge thank you to Brett and Kai for their always thoughtful and caring approach🤗 DM me for the address, and see you there!

An old one, because I’ve been thinking about tenderness a lot recently.

This is about a week late, but I just wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came out to see my recent exhibition “Touched by light or” @mcontemporaryart 🙏🏾 And a special thank you to my dear friend Kai Ihns who wrote the poem for the show. I appreciate all of you, and look forward to next time❤️

One day away🤗 “Touched by light or” opens tomorrow @mcontemporaryart from 6-9pm at 205 E 9 Mile! This is my first solo offering since finishing grad school, and doing it here feels very warm in this cold. Come through if you can, cause we’d love to see you❤️

Opening Thursday, Feb 20th 6-9 PM A solo exhibition by @scottcamp “Touched by light or” is a collection of drawings, images, and objects made in response to the journey of searching for something. While previous work touched on themes of defensiveness, and found their formal inspiration in gates, shields, and other protective mechanisms and materials, this offering is instead interested in spaces where that kind of armor might no longer be necessary. What methods and tools would one use to find such a place? What are the trail markers, and who are the spirit guides, that can lead one to their people? Concepts of frequency and transmission are presented alongside portals, and images of flight and escape in this exhibition. The rubbings are small, metaphorical journeys themselves; each one an exercise in searching for and recording the contours, nuances, and textures of a surface. #touchedbylightor #exhibition #opening #scottvincentcampbell #mcontemporaryart

Working through an interdisciplinary practice rooted in drawing and printmaking, Hughes works collaboratively to create meaning out of personal and collective trauma, transform systems of oppression, and seek liberation(…)  Scott Vincent Campbell’s ( @scottcamp ) artistic practice explores the emotional, psychological, and social conditions created by observation/surveillance. He uses a slash here quite deliberately in order to allude to the slippery line between the two acts. Expressed through themes such as visibility, defensiveness, and construction, he is particularly invested in how our intrapersonal relationship and very sense of self is influenced and mediated by the way others perceive us(…) Stephen Eichhorn ( @stepheneichhorn ) (b. 1984, United States) lives and works in Chicago. He has had solo exhibitions at the Franklin Park Conservatory, Elmhurst Art Museum and the Chicago Athletic Association(…) ——— Let’s Co Prosper: 2024 Auction 🗓️October 23rd, at Co-Prosperity 3219 S Morgan📍 🌙✨Join us for a night of camaraderie, commiseration, celebration, and cooperation all in support of the spaces that keep opportunities open for local artists, like the ones featured here!

As part of our upcoming group exhibition Conflicts of Freedom, we would like to introduce you to each participating artist. Scott Vincent Campbell (b. 1983) is a visual artist and curator from New York. He earned a BA in Fine Art from Haverford College in 2005, and an MFA from The University of Chicago in 2022. Campbell’s work has been exhibited across the US at institutions such as the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids, MI; Library Street Collective in Detroit, MI; Big Medium in Austin, TX; and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts and Pierogi Gallery in New York, NY. Campbell was a resident at Red Bull Arts Detroit in 2016, and in 2017 was the first Ford Curatorial Fellow at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He currently lives and works in Chicago, IL, where he also acts as the Midwest Programs Manager for Independent Curators International. Aesthetically grounded in the methodology and traditions of assemblage, collage, and the re-purposed object, Campbell’s practice is interested in psychology, perception, and how one’s sense of self is influenced and mediated by the ways others view us. Conflicts of Freedom opens Friday, August 4th (first Friday) from 5 - 9pm.

Been a special summer so far🤗❤️ Too many folks to tag here, but just know I’m grateful to all y’all🙏🏾 Repost from @curatorsintl • To mark the one-year anniversary of ICI's Chicago office, we celebrated with alumni, supporters, and friends at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery earlier this month. Collaboration and creating intentional space to gather has always been key to our success, and this event was a wonderful a way to say thank you to all of the people who have made our work in Chicago possible! Special thanks to Board Member Chris Wise for helping make this event possible, and to Mariane Ibrahim, Emma McKee, and the entire gallery staff for all of the support and always opening their doors to us.​​​​​​​​​ We can't wait to build on the foundation that we created in this incredible city over the past decade; here's to year two of our physical Chicago outpost, and the entire Mississippi River Basin initiative!

Our Chicago Curatorial Seminar is back! Emerging, Chicago-based, BIPOC curators are invited to apply for this FREE professional development program, taking place from September to December 2023. The 8-session Seminar brings together 6-8 emerging curators for discussions led by ICI staff, guest curators, artists, and other arts professionals, as well as individual advisement, shared reading, and suggested in-person site visits. Further, participants will workshop a project or exhibition proposal as they continue to develop the tools necessary to establish a strong first-person approach to curating, support overlooked artists, and engage with local art communities while working outside of a large institution. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Curatorial Seminar seeks to create an affirming network of peers around shared values, and will offer the participants an opportunity to gain knowledge and resources through ICI’s network, share ideas outside of often-monolithic institutional structures, and think through developments in their own curatorial practice. Learn more and apply at the link in bio! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #CuratorsIntl #ICIOpportunities #ICIChicago #ChicagoSeminar
