Cyrus Baldridge (1889-1977) was
an artist, illustrator, and author
whose travels took him across
Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Far
East. His prodigious artistic talents
and education at UChicago (AB
1911), combined with a humanistic
political awareness, led to the
publication of several lavishly
illustrated books focusing on his
experience of world cultures. This
exhibition explores Baldridge’s
unconventional life, showcasing his
original illustrations for the first time.

When an archaeological site has been
damaged, a page from the storybook
about humankind (aka “history”)
has been ripped out before it could
ever be written. Today, heritage is
under threat as never before. K–12
students and adults respond to the
memory of the history that has been
lost due to looting and destruction,
and hope for the history yet to
be discovered by archaeologists
through two-dimensional art.

Smart Museum of Art
For this experimental program, the
Smart joins together with cultural
and community partners to think
critically and creatively about what
it means to belong. Participants will
use art in the Museum’s collection
to spark conversation about the
aesthetic, social, and political
conditions that either encourage
belonging or propagate exclusion.
The partners—Arts + Public Life’s
Teen Arts Council, Odyssey Institute
Program, Red Line Service, and
Stockyard Institute—will design plans
to physically transform the Smart’s
galleries into an idealized space
of belonging and share through a
series of public events. This project

A UChicago Arts initiative, Concrete
Happenings invites art-lovers and carlovers, artists and scholars, drivers and
pedestrians to confront the power of
public art—the strange power of a massive
sculpture produced by Fluxus artist
Wolf Vostell. In 1970, in Chicago, Vostell
encased a Cadillac in concrete.
From Fall 2016 to Spring 2017, a range of
free, interdisciplinary programs across
campus will engage both scholarly and
general audiences in the rich themes
surrounding Concrete Happenings.
Concrete Happenings is organized by UChicago Arts in partnership with
the University of Chicago’s Department of Art History, Neubauer Collegium
for Culture and Society, Smart Museum of Art, University Library: Special
Collections Research Center, and Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts.
The initiative is directed by Christine Mehring, Chair and Professor in the
Department of Art History.
Additional UChicago program partners include Chicago Center for
Contemporary Theory; Film Studies Center; Franke Institute for the
Humanities; Richard and Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry; Humanities
Division; Institute for Molecular Engineering; Rockefeller Chapel; UChicago
Urban; and the Departments of Cinema and Media Studies, Germanic Studies,

the Arts Club of Chicago; and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Vostell’s Concrete Traffic makes several stops on its return
to the University of Chicago campus. First, outside of
the Museum of Contemporary Art, Concrete Traffic will

trucks as a backdrop for a free public discussion with
Michael Darling, James W. Alsdorf Chief Curator at the
MCA, and Christine Mehring, faculty director of Concrete
Happenings and Professor and Chair, Department of
Art History at UChicago. Afterward, a “happening” will
take place at the sculpture’s original downtown site now
across from the present-day Arts Club of Chicago. Finally,
the sculpture will make its way past Midway Studios
and the Logan Center for the Arts, site of its original
location at the University of Chicago, before arriving at
its new location in the Campus North Parking Garage.

Concrete Happenings has been made possible by each of the programming

The product of that “happening,”
Concrete Traffic, will be installed in a
University of Chicago campus parking
garage this fall. It will serve as the
provocation for a comprehensive suite
of exhibitions and interactive public
programs—performances, screenings,
talks, art workshops, happenings—that
offer unique opportunities to engage
with a crucial art historical moment and
movement, and to explore the intensities
with which an artwork can form and
transform its publics.

Mountains May Depart traces the
aftermath of a love triangle between
three friends, following the trio
as they navigate life in a rapidly
changing China. Splitting the film
between 1999, 2014, and 2025,
director Jia muses on China’s recent
economic rise and speculates on
the uncertain future. Calling it his
most emotional work, Jia grounds
his film by examining the effects of
these changes on his characters and
the intimate details of their lives.

In this foreign variant of 1941 France,
she sets out in search of her missing
scientist parents. Accompanied by a
talking cat named Darwin and a host
of helpful friends, April investigates
what makes the planet still rely on
coal long into the twentieth century,

of poetry, The Swimmer, NPR says,
“These poems won’t shatter the
universe, but that’s precisely their
point, the tragedy they lament: that
as individuals we are small and the
universe pays our seemingly vast
inner lives no mind.” The winner of
the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize
and Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award
reads from his new work along with
acclaimed poet David Trinidad,
whose latest Notes on a Past Life
has been hailed as “breathy and
breathtaking…a mature, wise, and
enlightening book.” (Denise Duhamel)

In The Lofts of SoHo, Aaron Shkuda
studies the transition of the district
from industrial space to artists’
enclave to affluent residential area,
focusing on the legacy of urban
renewal in and around SoHo and the
growth of artist-led redevelopment.
Shkuda explores conflicts between
residents and property owners and
analyzes the city’s embrace of the
once-illegal loft conversion as an
urban development strategy. As
Shkuda explains, artists eventually
lost control of SoHo’s development,
but over several decades they
nonetheless forced scholars,
policymakers, and the general public
to take them seriously as critical
actors in the twentiethcentury American city.

In 2014, after a brief orientation
course and a few fingerprinting
sessions, Nicholson Baker became
an on-call substitute teacher in a
Maine public school district. He
awoke to the dispatcher’s fiveforty a.m. phone call and headed
to one of several nearby schools;
when he got there, he did his best
to follow lesson plans and help his
students get something done. What
emerges from Baker’s experience
is a complex, often touching
deconstruction of public schooling
in America: children swamped with
overdue assignments, overwhelmed
by the marvels and distractions
of social media and educational
technology, and staff who weary
themselves trying to teach in step
with an often outmoded or overly
ambitious standard curriculum. Baker
is one of the most inventive and
remarkable writers of our time, and
Substitute, filled with humor, honesty,
and empathy, may be his most
impressive work of nonfiction yet.
