Hyde Park Art Center, the renowned non-profit hub for contemporary art located on Chicago’s vibrant South Side, announces Yasmin Spiro: Cornerstone, the first major solo exhibition of the Jamaican Chicago-based artist Yasmin Spiro.
Cornerstone presents the artist’s ongoing examination of vernacular building methods, exploring our physical, spiritual, and emotional foundation in the built and natural environment. Inspired by Spiro’s background, the exhibition is layered with aspects of the land and architecture of Jamaica and considers the cultural hybridity that shapes the island. Spiro’s new, large-scale sculptures, sound and scent work, and ongoing weavings create an immersive installation that invites the audience to contemplate the relationship between the body, architecture, and shared and sacred space.
Yasmin Spiro: Cornerstone takes place at the Hyde Park Art Center from April 19 to November 2, 2025.
