The Riverside Arts Center’s FlexSpace is pleased to present One Ends Another Begins, an exhibition featuring drawings and artists’ books by Regin Igloria. His ongoing exploration of movement and travel is expressed in a series of narratives, one-liners, and characters. The works depict wanderers and walkers, a glimpse into their origin stories, and momentary encounters with the landscape.
Regin Igloria is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Chicago. His drawings, artists’ books, sculptures, and performances portray the human condition as it relates to the natural environment and inhabited spaces. Igloria has exhibited locally and internationally, notably at the Chicago Cultural Center, the DePaul Art Museum, 6018 North (Chicago), Weinberg Newton Gallery (Chicago), Zg Gallery (Chicago), and EXPO Chicago. His art has been reviewed in Bad At Sports, The Chicago Tribune, and Time Out Chicago. He received a 3Arts Individual Artist Award as well as local, national, and international grants, and was awarded residencies with Camargo Foundation Residency, Cassis, France, ACRE Residency, and Wormfarm Residency (Wisconsin). He received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Igloria has served as a lecturer, panelist, and curator for a multitude of institutions including Ragdale, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and Marwen. With several years of arts administration and teaching experience, he founded North Branch Projects, an organization that builds connections through the book arts. He works with various communities to create crossover between disparate populations and cultures, aiming to broaden the roles of both artists and non-artists.
