{"product_id":"the-time-is-now-rebecca-zorach-9780935573589","title":"The Time Is Now!: Art Worlds of Chicago's South Side, 1960-1980","description":"During the 1960s and 70s, Chicago was shaped by art and ideas produced and circulated on its South Side. Defined by the city's social, political, and geographic divides and by the energies of its multiple overlapping art scenes, this vibrant moment of creative expression produced a cultural legacy whose impact continues to unfold nationally and internationally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Time is Now! Art Worlds of Chicago's South Side, 1960-1980\u003c\/i\u003e, published in tandem with an exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art, examines this cultural moment--brimming with change and conflict--and the figures who defined it. Focusing primarily on African American artists in and out of the Black Arts Movement, \u003ci\u003eThe Time is Now!\u003c\/i\u003e re-examines watershed cultural moments: from the \u003ci\u003eWall of Respect\u003c\/i\u003e to Black Creativity, from the Civil Rights Movement to \u003ci\u003eAfriCOBRA\u003c\/i\u003e, from vivid protest posters to visionary Afrofuturist art, and from the Hairy Who to the radical sounds of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. \u003cbr\u003e Employing new scholarship that reassesses and recalibrates traditional narratives of postwar Chicago art, the exhibit resonates with current national dialogues around race, gender, protest, and belonging. The book contains a series of long and short essays, interviews, and other contextual material, along with full-color images of all works included in the exhibition and extensive reproductions of ephemera and historical photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Zorach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0935573585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780935573589\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Smart Museum of Art, the University of C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 10.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Rebecca Zorach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082589872383,"sku":"9780935573589","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-time-is-now-rebecca-zorach-9780935573589","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
