Let’s Talk About Art: Yoonshin Park — Prompt and PromptedAt the Hyde Park Art CenterJoin us for a two-day Let’s Talk About Art program centered on Yoonshin Park’s exhibition Prompt and Prompted, combining an off-site study visit with an artist-led experience at the Hyde Park Art Center.The program begins on Wednesday, April 15 at 2:00 PM with a guided visit to the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection (JFABC). Housed at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the JFABC is one of the country’s leading collections dedicated to artist books, zines, and experimental publications. The collection supports research, teaching, and public engagement, offering access to works that challenge conventional ideas of what a book can be—as object, archive, artwork, and site of experimentation. This visit will provide participants with valuable context for thinking about artist books as material, conceptual, and participatory forms.On Thursday, April 16 at 2:00 PM, participants will reconvene at the Hyde Park Art Center for an artist-led tour and talk of Park’s exhibition Prompt and Prompted, offering direct insight into her practice and the ideas shaping the work on view.For more than two decades, Yoonshin Park has engaged artist books as an experimental form and conceptual space, using them to disrupt our expectations of scale, structure, material, and meaning. Prompt and Prompted presents new and ongoing works that extend Park’s exploration of artist books as spatial, symbolic, and participatory sites—engaging questions of memory, marginality, translation, and transformation.The exhibition title reflects the reciprocal exchange that takes place in Park’s teaching practice. Since 2019, Park has taught artist book courses virtually through the Hyde Park Art Center’s Oakman Clinton School + Studios, finding her role as an educator to be as generative as her studio practice. This program invites participants to consider how the expansiveness Park brings to artist books might also offer new ways of imagining how we live, learn, and relate.This event is free, but advance registration is required to reserve your spot. Space is limited. Please register via Eventbrite.
