Cuauhocelotl, oil on panel, is a painting artist Jonathan Espinoza-Perez has in my new zine, LAMINATOR Vol. 1. Based in Berwyn, Illinois, he says:

"My work presents a spectre-like guide inviting the viewer into transient yet vivid experiences that transcend time. Releasing myself from the pressure of telling just one story, or adhering to a set statement, I found inspiration in the haze. Intentional composition with abstract structuring of pre- and post-Hispanic symbolism, cultural story-telling, and the connection of a modern-day lived experience; the spectre offers insight into an out-of-body conversation on transformation, identify, and the connection we share with the past, present, and future."

Jonathan also has a piece in the exhibition 1000 Words | Home Not Home at Pilsen Arts & Community House in Chicago; presented by AnySquared Projects, the show is on view through June 2. Congratulations, Jonathan!

AnySquared | Press Release

This exhibition is the launch of AnySquared’s Home Not Home Series, which will run through 2024 at various venues in Chicago. The Home Not Home��exhibition investigates various themes, including belonging/not belonging, freedom/captivity, safety/danger, comfort/discomfort, inclusive/exclusive, building/destroying, and place/displacement. Home Not Home is an examination of the complicated dichotomies of the idea of home and aims to demonstrate that while the concept of home is universal, the experience is very personal.

AnySquared is a collaborative network and a platform for artists. Propelled by a profound sense of cooperation with artists, neighbors, and the larger community, our mission is to support projects that promote inclusive participation in arts activities. Our foundation is the belief that we can accomplish anything if we work together.

Thank you to Agitator Artist Collective for making space and collaborating for this installment of the series. For more information, please visit anysquared.org and agitatorgallery.com

ABOUT TRACY KOSTENBADER tracykostenbader.com or IG: @tracykostenbader tracykostenbader.com

Tracy Kostenbader is a visual and social artist who co-founded AnySquared as an artist collaborative in 2010 to develop art projects with others in rejection of an elitist view of art and institutions. Functioning on the basic premise of mutual aid and cooperation, Tracy has also helped build a unique organization and space in Chicago where people come from all over the city to participate and build projects together.

She transformed her home studio to make space for other artists where people can interact and produce art together. Tracy has been hosting AnySquared’s studio days more than a decade and mentors emerging artists to expand their ideas about how to create their work.

In AnySquared, she spearheads collaborations with a network of artists and groups and brings people together. She leads visual arts projects where participants are included in the process of designing and producing them. She creates arts programming, curates exhibitions, and nurtures others to also become arts organizers and make more challenging arts projects.

Tracy’s philosophy is rooted in collaboration. Her history of work with social justice campaigns has a profound effect on her ideas as an artist. Working together is the underpinning of AnySquared.

While producing collaborative projects, Tracy has maintained her own art practice. She explores personal and political themes with paintings, drawings, and digital images.
