Hallucinations brings together three new, interrelated series by Lisa Iglesias that frame perception as layered, contingent, and in motion. Composed of acrylic paint on paper, translucent materials, and repeated relief prints of domestic objects, the works unfold through veils, screens, and patterned surfaces that shift as the viewer moves. In 100 cartas a la luna, multiple levels of paint are applied on both sides of each paper through staining, pouring, pooling, and relief printing, often in collaboration with Iglesias’s young children. Privacy screens, halftone fields, and layered applications of paint function as perceptual filters—at times obscuring, at others revealing images, gestures, and bodily impressions. Across the exhibition, weft and warp structures echo textiles, as household materials are translated into digital, cosmic, and architectural forms.

Step back into the vibrant world of the 1920s and 1930s with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration during this transformative era. Featuring over 100 works by renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., and Frank E. Schoonover, the exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.

Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.
