SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Bella Kiser
DESCRIPTION:Opening August 15 in Project Space\, “BALIKBAYAN Box” by Bella Kiser is an intimate installation about family and the things we carry with us across distance. \nA balikbayan box is a care package sent home to the Philippines by Filipinos living abroad. For Kiser\, these boxes held everything from work clothes and yellowing books to art supplies\, rice\, bibles\, and whatever her family might want or need. In this exhibition\, the box becomes a way of thinking about what we inherit from our loved ones and what we carry forward. \nThe installation centers on four photographs documenting the last physical skill Kiser learned from her Lola passed away: how to gut\, descale\, and cook a whole fish. Alongside fiber\, sound\, and interactive sculpture\, “Balikbayan Box” creates a space where family histories\, cultural connection\, loss\, and care come together. \nVisitors are invited to take their shoes off\, lie on the large balikbayan box\, listen to soundscape\, and interact with smaller boxes throughout the installation. \nJoin us on Saturday\, August 15\, from 12 – 1 PM for an artist talk at Krasl with Bella Kiser.

SUMMARY:Intervals of Mark and Matter & Balikbayan Box Preview Party
DESCRIPTION:Opening this August\, Intervals of Mark and Matter brings together the work of KC Crow Maddux\, Karen Dana Cohen\, Evan Mazellan\, Amelia Mendelsohn\, Ivan Montoya\, Thương Hoài Trần\, and Antonio Scott Nichols. These artists approach painting as a site of translation where material\, image\, and lived experience converge. Drawing from personal and cultural narratives\, the artists engage themes such as family\, mythology\, migration\, and identity to construct works that feel both intimate and expansive. Across the exhibition\, painting emerges as a living and expansive practice: one that does not simply depict\, but questions\, experiments\, and reaches outward.\n\nOpening in the Project Space\, Krasl Art Center presents a new installation by Bella Kiser\, expanding her exploration of soft architecture. Working within fiber\, sculpture\, installation\, performance\, and sound\, Kiser builds environments that consider how ideas of home and identity are shaped through experience and space.\n\nJoin us for the Preview Party on Friday\, August 14\, from 6–8 PM.

SUMMARY:Artists in Dialogue: Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams
DESCRIPTION:Join artists Isaac Duncan III and Ajene Cetawayo Williams to learn more about their exhibition: Sculpture in the Direct Method.\n\nSpanning generations of artistic practice\, Sculpture in the Direct Method explores how artists engage abstraction\, representation\, and material process as interconnected and evolving strategies. The featured artists employ a range of visual languages\, from gestural and improvisational approaches to more structured and symbolic forms\, reflecting the breadth of contemporary and modern Black artistic practice.\n\nAt the center of the exhibition is the direct method of metal sculpture\, in which materials are cut\, bent\, and welded together to build form. This process allows for immediacy and revision\, positioning material as an active and responsive element in the development of each work. Rather than adhering to predetermined outcomes\, artists working in this way often allow form to emerge through interaction with their materials.\n\nSculpture in the Direct Method is on view through August 9th.

SUMMARY:Preview Party: Sculpture in the Direct Method
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture in the Direct Method presents a dynamic conversation between generations of Black artists\, exploring abstraction\, representation\, and political engagement in modern and contemporary practice. Featuring Isaac Duncan III\, Ajene Cetawayo Williams\, Richard Hunt\, and Albert LaVergne\, the exhibition highlights how material\, form\, and concept intersect to reflect both personal and collective histories. \nThe works on view range from bold abstraction to nuanced representation\, moving between politically engaged statements and more meditative explorations of gesture and form. Across sculpture and painting\, the exhibition demonstrates the breadth and complexity of Black artistic expression. \nBy bringing together artists from two generations\, the exhibition invites consideration of how ideas\, techniques\, and perspectives evolve while remaining grounded in cultural experience and artistic inquiry. Throughout\, material and process serve as key points of connection\, shaping how artists engage identity\, history\, and culture.

SUMMARY:Material Memory Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Material Memory explores how knowledge\, history\, and cultural memory are carried through objects and the act of making. Bringing together four artists working in ceramics\, fiber\, tapestry\, and print\, the exhibition centers analog processes\, material investigation\, and the slow accumulation of gesture and meaning. \nThrough hand-built ceramics\, bead-encrusted vessels\, pony-bead tapestries\, and meticulously carved relief prints\, the artists in Material Memory examine how culture and personal histories are inherited\, learned\, and reinterpreted through labor\, repetition\, and intimate engagement with material. These works ask viewers to consider how objects embody memory\, mediate identity\, and carry stories across generations. \nFeaturing: \nChris Salas (Ceramics)\n Salas’s hand-built ceramic forms emerge through intuitive\, iterative processes informed by personal relationships\, historical research\, and the ongoing legacy of colonization in the Americas. Clay becomes a vessel for cultural reckoning\, holding layered histories through time-intensive making and surface. \nKatie Mongoven (Fiber\, Beading)\n Mongoven transforms found blue-and-white ceramic vessels with intricate beadwork and embroidery. Her labor-intensive practice explores diasporic memory\, identity reconstruction\, and the reclamation of Orientalist objects through touch\, repetition\, and bodily presence. \nakeylah wellington (Sculpture\, Tapestry)\nWellington’s pony-bead tapestries and mixed-media sculptures blend humor\, endurance\, and personal history. Drawing on childhood imagery\, early digital culture\, and found materials\, her work preserves stories of displacement\, resilience\, and generational inheritance. \nRamiro Rodriguez (Printmaking)\nRodriguez’s woodblock and linoleum relief prints document familial and cultural narratives rooted in Mexican-American print traditions. Through carving and layered printing\, his work embeds memory\, transformation\, and inherited knowledge into the physical act of making. \nTogether\, the artists in Material Memory use material as language—foregrounding slow\, analog processes as acts of remembering\, learning\, and transmission. Their works are deeply personal yet culturally resonant\, tracing the invisible threads of inheritance that bind past\, present\, and future.

SUMMARY:Hull-House Artists In Chicago and Beyond Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:You may have noticed a sign for the Jane Addams Research Center next to the deep red exterior of a two-storey building along Main Street in St. Joseph. This quiet organization was founded by scholars Michael R. Hill and his late life-partner Mary Jo Deegan. Its focus on the historic sociologist\, settlement leader\, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and her influential network of male and female colleagues has taken many forms\, including an expansive collection of artworks resulting from the expertise\, training\, and inspiration of the art school at the Hull-House social settlement in Chicago (Hull commemorates the name of the home’s original owner). \nThe Hull-House Art School\, established by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr\, with Enella Benedict as its first director\, provided classes and studio space for youngsters and adults alike from 1893 onward to the 1960s. It was an important\, but underappreciated\, cultural phenomenon in Chicago. In this exhibition\, artworks range from functional to fine art and include commemorative medallions\, artist-illustrated books and calendars\, novels\, jewelry\, metalwork\, fabrics\, ceramics\, prints\, maps\, drawings\, and paintings. These works — from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century — represent the deep impact contributed by a community art center and highlight the affiliated artists who made them.  While some are little known\, several artists in the exhibition are prominent in Chicago collections (including the Art Institute of Chicago) and are found in museums\, homes\, and other repositories throughout the United States. \nMichael R. Hill has curated the exhibit and is preparing an exhibition catalog. Dr. Hill has served as a docent at the Krasl Art Center and is an astute interdisciplinary scholar who is ever learning and engaging with the arts of Chicago and Southwest Michigan. \n
