Tiger Strikes Asteroid Chicago is pleased to present Drawn Through Restraint, a solo exhibition and residency by artist Eric Von Haynes.

WORK IN PROGRESS // Folds
WORK IN PROGRESS: I have been working on a project that involves using caution tape to explore flexure, folds, and motion. It's been a fun experience to see how versatile the material is in creating fluid and dynamic folds. The overlaps and transparency of the tape led me to explore creating cyanotypes using small fragments of tape found around my neighborhood. Over the weekend, I collaborated with my friend and fellow printer, Gabe of Hoofprint Workshop, to create a litho-plate series. I brushed ink on film and used yards of tape direct to the plate to achieve this. I am happy with the direction this project is taking.
Artist proofs will be available, so stay tuned for updates.

Homagetoblkmadonnas Zine Vol 1
in Zine
Kee Merriweather’s Homagetoblkmadonnas is an archival practice that mines and collects images of Black mothers, femmes, and women as a source of the spirit of inquiry and hopefully one-day repatriation. HBM stemmed from an earlier project titled the Black Matriarch Archive. Black Matriarch Archive was a digital platform that sought to create an ongoing record commemorating the Black matriarchs of the African diaspora.
Homagetoblkmadonnas Zine Vol 1 is available now (LINK)
Now available at Quimby’s!

We released LEXICONS by Rubén Aguirre and sold out of all the copies we had on hand. The good news is, that it's still available at Flatlands Press online store (HERE)
Special shout out to Alkebuluan @alkebuluanm of The Black Matriarch Archive, who held down the table with Jack Spector-Bishop and myself. Alkebuluan sold her own work and was featured in this year's Zinemercado zine.
