Summary:

"This unique limited-edition catalogue documents the exhibition Dark Matter: Celestial Objects as Messengers of Love in These Troubled Times, Folayemi Wilson's solo exhibition presented at the Hyde Park Art Center (HPAC) in Chicago Illinois, March 31 through July 14, 2019. In the exhibition, slipcast objects as cosmic orbs, original soundscapes created by Joelle Mercedes, and NASA video, presented a celestial Afrofuturist landscape for reflection, meditation and healing. With a shotgun house-inspired sculpture as a spaceship that appears to have come from another realm, the work embodies the artist's desire to infuse love and restore dignity to a culture troubled with unfortunate manifestations of fear, hate, greed, and a selfish disregard for others. The catalogue includes a booklet with exhibition photography and essays by Chelsea Mikael Frazier and HPAC curator Allison Peters Quinn, the original poem commissioned from writer and visual artist Krista Franklin, along with a 12" LP of her live, recorded performance in the gallery with musician and composer Ben LaMar Gay on July 11, 2019" -- Publisher's website
