Blondell Cummings: Dance as Moving Pictures
TRAVELING TO THE CHICAGO CULTURAL CENTER Jun 7, 2025–Jul 27, 2025 This exhibition sheds new light on the pivotal work of African American choreographer and video artist Blondell Cummings (American, 1944–2015). Through a unique movement vocabulary that she called "moving pictures," Cummings made dance that combined the visual imagery of photography and the kinetic energy of movement to explore the emotional details of daily rituals, as well as the intimacy of black home life. The exhibition draws largely from Cummings' personal video archive of rarely seen works. |
