Sun Always Shining: In conjunction with the exhibition “A.G. Rizzoli, Architect of Magnificent Visions,” Intuit welcomes Chicago artist Kenneth Williams for a film screening and a conversation about his architecturally-inspired artwork. The subject of Gabrielle Goodstein’s documentary film “Sun Always Shining,” Williams is a prolific artist with strong ties to many community-based studio programs for people with disabilities, including The Nathan and Kiyoko Lerner Foundation, El Valor, and Project Onward. Rob Lentz, Program Director of Project Onward, will join Kenneth Williams to discuss the film, the artist’s preoccupation with urban architecture, and his unique views on life and art. Like Rizzoli, Williams embraces architecture’s transcendent possibilities, but his vision encompasses fantasy neighborhoods, rendered in bright markers, where entrenched urban problems of race and class are resolved by creative and altruistic redevelopment.

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through education, exhibition, collecting and publishing. Intuit defines ‘intuitive and outsider art’ as the work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world, and who instead are motivated by their unique personal vision. This definition includes art brut, non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art. |
