Experience a new way of exploring Abraham Lincoln and his role in shaping American identity. Images from Lincoln’s life are transformed into three-dimensional objects that visitors can touch.

Freedom in Form: Richard Hunt

Freedom in Form: Richard Hunt – at LUMA in Chicago, IL

Exhibit Dates: July 11, 2025 – November 15, 2025

Curator: Ross Stanton Jordan

ALPLM’s popular exhibit to be hosted in Chicago.

Freedom in Form will allow visitors to view Hunt’s work informed by a Black historical perspective. The presence of voice and struggle through figures such as Frederick Douglass, Emmett Till, and Ida B. Wells will permeate and frame the experience – freedom takes many forms. For most of his career, Richard Hunt literally lived with his work at his studio - converting a City of Chicago utility building in 1971 in the Wrightwood Neighbors area near Chicago’s Lincoln Park. Freedom in Form will utilize the concept of place to situate the viewer to feel his presence through his personal effects, tools, materials and works. Media features with Hunt’s contemporaries will provide voices of tribute and perspective, coupling the lived experiences of the man with the wonders that are his creations.

Exhibit opens  July 11, 2025  at the Loyola University Museum of Art in Chicago (LUMA)
