ATP welcomes Tempestt Hazel for a public talk.
Hazel is a curator, writer, and co-founder of Sixty Inches From Center, a collective of editors, writers, artists, curators, librarians, and archivists who have published and produced collaborative projects about artists, archival practice, and culture in the Midwest since 2010. Across her practices and through Sixty, Tempestt has worked alongside artists, organizers, grant makers, and cultural workers to explore solidarity economies, cooperative models, archival practice, future canon creation, and systems change in and through the arts.
An especially cherished moment for Tempestt was when she received the 2019 J. Franklin Jameson Archival Advocacy Award from the Society of American Archivists, which was the result of a nomination by archivists and members of The Blackivists.
Tempestt was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois, spent several years in the California Bay Area, and has called Chicago her second home for over 13 years.

Visiting Artist Talk: Jesse Chun
ATP welcomes artist Jesse Chun for a public talk.
Chun's moving images, concrete poems, scores, and activations intimately unravel the dominant compositions of language and legibility — invoking alternate semiotics and cosmologies of meaning, time, transmission, and infinitude. Chun's first solo survey exhibition 시, language for new moons was presented by the Seoul Museum of Art for the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale in 2023, at the Seoul Museum of History. Chun's work has been presented internationally in solo and group exhibitions at Commonwealth and Council, Los Angeles (US); Art Sonje Center, Seoul; Thaddaeus Ropac, Seoul; Nam June Paik Art Center (KR); SculptureCenter, New York; The Drawing Center, New York; Queens Museum, New York; Ballroom Marfa, Texas (United States); Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (Canada); Whitechapel Gallery, London (UK), among others. She was awarded the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant (US), Art by Translation research fellowship (Paris); the National Endowment for the Arts fellowship at ISCP (New York), and more. Chun's work is in the collections of Seoul Museum of Art (KR); Kadist Art Foundation (FR/US); Museum of Modern Art Library (NY); Smithsonian Institution (DC) Archive of American Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art Library (NY), among others.
Chun was an artist in residence at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) Korea (2024-25). Currently based between Seoul (KR) and California (US), Chun is represented by Commonwealth and Council (Los Angeles).
