MFA Programs in Chicago
|
|
|
This is the time for some to look into/or apply to graduate schools in the Fine Arts(MFA). If any of you are interested in aplying to schools within the city of Chicago, I will list general overview of the school/some opportunities to view current graduate student work and critiques. You can get a chance to see what type of work/artists the schools accept.
Schools:
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Columbia College Chicago
The University of Chicago (COVA)
University of Illinois at Chicago (School of Art and Design)
The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC)
-deadline for MFA program January 10
-one of the top graduate program in the country (in fact it's tied for #1 spot with Yale School of Art)
-it accepts around 500 students to all of its graduate programs
-since it's one of the top schools in the country it is quiet selective, and receives lots of applications
-very important emphasis on one's portfolio, hence make sure your slides are professional
-it's an art school, hence the environment is very relaxed among the student body, and high emphasis placed upon creativity, and socialisation among the students
-there are numerous exhibition venues: Gallery 2, Betty Rymer Gallery, 1928 Exhibition space and multpiple student run galleries
-most of the popular Chicago artists such as Ed Paschke, Carl Wirsum, have attended the school
-private institution, hence the tuition is expensive
There were gradaute open studios last week, Friday November 11 5-9PM where you could have had a chance to see current students' works. (sorry i did not post this earlier).However, here are some exhibits featuring student works:

Artists in Conversation
Price Auditorium, The Art Institute of Chicago
The American conceptual artist Michael Asher is internationally recognized for the groundbreaking nature of his practice and for his influence on subsequent generations of artists. In the late 1960s, he pioneered now accepted notions of "site-specificity," whereby a work and its place of display are thematically interlocked. For this focus exhibition, Asher is revisiting a project he created for the Art Institute's 73rd American Exhibition in 1979. This new work, involving the installation of a bronze cast of Jean-Antoine Houdon's statue of George Washington (1785-91/1917), will extend the implications of the work he began in 1979 with respect to the temporal, spatial, historical, and institutional factors that determine the meaning of sculpture.
Since the early 1980s, the Los Angles-based conceptualist Christopher Williams has challenged pre-existing systems of representation, and discredited the claim that photography is a purely objective medium. Working with original photographs and with images culled from institutional archives, Williams manipulates the conventions of traditional pictorial
genres to expose issues of political, cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance. His formal approach references the modernist desire to depict subjects in a cold, detached manner as a means of satisfying the obsession with objectivity. Williams's introduction of subtle elements of disruption, however, obscures the objective nature of his photography and reveals an underlying sociopolitical dimension in his work.Please join us for what promises to be a lively discussion between Michael Asher and Christopher Williams.

Dan Flavin retrospective @ MCA until Oct.30
|
|
|
If you have not seen this show you must go before it closes. It's best to view Flavin's work in person as the photographs within books and magazines do not do his work justice. The use of the fluorescent light bulbs and space is incredible and yet so simplistic. The museum is open Tuesdays from 5pm-8pm for free. And if you'd like to make an outing out of this you can go to the First Firdays.
The MCA is bringing it back old school style in October. Breakdancers will perform all night long in the café, American Apparel will host a funky fashion show, and Paper magazine will give out copies of their latest issue. Die-hard vintage fans, wear a Members’ Only jacket and get a free trial membership.

Michael Blum at MESS HALL
FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 2005
Presentation, Screening and Potluck Dinner!!!
Potluck begins at 7:30
Presentation begins at 8:30
Vienna-based artist Michael Blum will present his video work "17 Aandbloem Street"
"17 Aandbloem Street" (57 min, 2004) is a neighborhood investigation centered around a house in Cape Town. Current and former tenants, neighbors, a homeless man in a wheelchair, an architect, a former top-model and a flower seller are among those who provide stories about the house, its surroundings and the hyper-local power dynamics 10 years after the fall of the apartheid regime. The project addresses both universal and ultra-local issues like gentrification, racial segregation, and neighbor-bashing.
The video is 57 minutes.
Blum is currently in residency at the Austria House in Chicago.

Jose Lopez at MESS HALL
6 PM
SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 2005
A Discussion with Jose Lopez on the Military Recruitment of Latino Youth
As the situation in post-Saddam Iraq drags on, the armed forces of the United States are having a difficult time meeting their recruiting goals. Not surprisingly, recruiters are heavily targeting youth from parts of the
country suffering from depressed economic conditions. Latino youth are particularly vulnerable to a range of recruiting methods shaped around the pressures felt by that group. Professor Lopez will offer an analysis of the
situation, and lead a discussion about how we can support youth--and especially youth from Latino populations--in choosing non-military options for their futures.
This event is for anybody who is concerned about the militarization of our schools, or is curious about the range of issues faced by Latino communities today, or who wants to consider ways to oppose the war agenda of our government.
Jose Lopez is an educator who has long been politically active in a variety of causes. He is the Executive Director of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center. He played a central role in the campaign that in 1999 successfully freed 11
jailed members of the FALN, the main vehicle for the Puerto Rican independence movement in the 1970s. He has also been involved in many projects critical of 'control unit' incarceration.
This event is part of the Geography of War project by Harold Mendez, which calls attention to the violence embedded in the imaginative worlds of children (especially boys!), as evidenced by their playthings. Harold's work
is on the walls of Mess Hall now. It's been a while since the Mess Hall walls have been covered, so come check it out.
You can participate in Harold's ongoing project by donated any old, unwanted, or broken toy weapons you or your kids might have lying around thehouse. Just bring them by Mess Hall on Saturday between 1 and 5 PM.

Potential Energy, Mini Movie Fest, Brunchluck, excitement!
Events start this Friday, May 13, 2005.
MESS HALL HOSTS A DYNAMITE WEEKEND!
DYNAMITE is a five-year-old art group based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Josh Ippel, Matt Poole, Phil Orr, and Ryan Thompson currently describe their group as a family-like structure which is interested in “…creating and/or organizing activities that call for group participation and which rupture, criticize, sidestep, or engage norms of American life, culture and habit,” (from their website, http://www.dynamitefamily.com).
Mess Hall is happy to be host this weekend to Dynamite’s current project: POTENTIAL ENERGY. From their call for participation:
For the last two years Dynamite has been interested in making connections with collaborative groups in order to learn from their experiences, observe other working models, exchange ideas and share resources. Potential Energy continues this interest.
Over the course of our time working together, we have seen numerous ideas (our own and other's) that have never been realized. For one reason or another – time constraints, the laws of physics, lack of resources, or utter infeasibility – many projects and ideas are discarded, unrealized or implausible.
Potential Energy will consist of a collection of these unrealized projects from a number of collaborative groups. Each participant will design an image and/or text illustrating a project they have been unable to complete.
These designs will be in grayscale on 8.5x11" or A4 paper. The images will be collected, reproduced and packaged and a unit containing all the designs will be sent to each participant. Each group is encouraged to display this set of images in a space of their choosing.
In addition to these impromptu exhibitions, a series of core events are being planned to display the project in Grand Rapids, MI, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, and Portland, OR. In order to facilitate exhibition, each design may be enlarged to poster size using a black and white plotter printer (found at most copy shops) or using another enlarging method.
Some of the groups included in this exhibition are: N55, New Beginings, Basekamp, The M.O.S.T., Pineapple Group, Everyday Places, Hints, and Ely & Harris.
Potential Energy will be on view at Mess Hall during the following events:
Friday, May 13, 2005
8:30p-10:00p

MESS HALL HOSTS A DYNAMITE WEEKEND!
DYNAMITE is a five-year-old art group based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Josh Ippel, Matt Poole, Phil Orr, and Ryan Thompson currently describe their group as a family-like structure which is interested in “…creating and/or organizing activities that call for group participation and which rupture, criticize, sidestep, or engage norms of American life, culture and habit,” (from their website, http://www.dynamitefamily.com).
Mess Hall is happy to be host this weekend to Dynamite’s current project: POTENTIAL ENERGY. From their call for participation:
For the last two years Dynamite has been interested in making connections with collaborative groups in order to learn from their experiences, observe other working models, exchange ideas and share resources. Potential Energy continues this interest.
Over the course of our time working together, we have seen numerous ideas (our own and other's) that have never been realized. For one reason or another – time constraints, the laws of physics, lack of resources, or utter infeasibility – many projects and ideas are discarded, unrealized or implausible.
Potential Energy will consist of a collection of these unrealized projects from a number of collaborative groups. Each participant will design an image and/or text illustrating a project they have been unable to complete.
These designs will be in grayscale on 8.5x11" or A4 paper. The images will be collected, reproduced and packaged and a unit containing all the designs will be sent to each participant. Each group is encouraged to display this set of images in a space of their choosing.
In addition to these impromptu exhibitions, a series of core events are being planned to display the project in Grand Rapids, MI, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, and Portland, OR. In order to facilitate exhibition, each design may be enlarged to poster size using a black and white plotter printer (found at most copy shops) or using another enlarging method.
Some of the groups included in this exhibition are: N55, New Beginings, Basekamp, The M.O.S.T., Pineapple Group, Everyday Places, Hints, and Ely & Harris.
Potential Energy will be on view at Mess Hall during the following events:

Event: Exhibition of paintings by Rebecca Morris
Starts: 5/8/2005
Ends: 6/19/2005
Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Location: The Renaissance Society, Cobb Hall, 5811 South Ellis Avenue, 4th Floor
Contact Name: The Renaissance Society
Phone: 773-702-8670
Email: info@renaissancesociety.org
Picking up where the likes of Hans Hoffman, Larry Poons, and Jules Olitski left off, Rebecca Morris' paintings are a lovingly destructive embrace of high modernist tenets as espoused by critics such as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried. What was once celebrated as pure painting had degenerated into a ubiquitous abstraction that Morris redeems through congealed layers of paint that are a testament to her conviction. Her Paintings say it loud. Abstract and I'm Proud!
Opening reception May 8 from 4 to 7 with a discussion with the artist from 5 to 6.
Hours: Tues – Fri 10-5, Sat & Sun 12-5.
Closed Mon.
Admission to the gallery and all events is free.

Gisela Insuaste @Bucket Rider - Opening April 29
|
|
|
Gisela Insuaste
aerial nomads
opening April 29 6-9 PM
continues Through May 28
Hours 12-6 Tuesday-Saturday
Bucket Rider Gallery
119 N. Peoria #3D
Chicago IL 60607
312-421-6993
info@bucketridergallery.com
Gisela Insuaste was born in New York City in 1975 and received her BA in studio art and anthropology from Dartmouth in 1997. She completed her MFA in painting and drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. Aerial Nomads is Insuaste's second solo show with Bucket Rider Gallery. Her first exhibition, Clandestino, took place in October 2003. Her installation work can currently be seen in a group show, Research, at the NIU gallery, and she has forthcoming shows Cultural Center of Chicago and the Three Arts Club. She is the recent recipient of the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Individual Artist Award, in the newly added 'Emerging Artist' category.
Insuaste's work is based on episodic memories that are triggered by real and imagined ethnographic experiences in rural and urban landscapes. These landscapes are precarious: shifty, unstable, unpredictable, unsettled and ambiguous. They reflect the physically, emotionally, and socio-politically charged spaces we currently live in, where political unrest, social unease, and economic instability affect our individual and collective concepts of space, time, history, and memory.
Aerial Nomads is inspired by Paul Virilio's idea of history as a "landscape of events," a landscape having no fixed meaning, no privileged vantage but is oriented by the itinerary passerby. This perspective is also informed by the interconnectedness of people, places, and things in the artist's life and her personal landscape. The new objects in this exhibition resemble vertical structures, 4 and 3 legged tower-like things that allude to forms that are inherently objects of 'power' ready to be activated. Her new paintings and drawings are based on travel sketches from of objects on stilts, such as houses, boats, and kiosks. These structures, built to keep people and things off the ground and into safer space, also reference the fragility of a landscape and its inherent power dynamics. Ultimately, Insuaste is creating a new eschatology, providing a space for new hopefulness and possibility. She is examining, the "threads that connect each of us to each other, to a place that shifts and transforms itself over and over again."

KORI NEWKIRK @ The Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago
|
|
|
Thursday 31 March 2005 @ 6:15 p.m.
MILLENNIUM PARK ROOM, The Art Institute of Chicago Museum
Enter at 280 S. Columbus Drive (corner of Monroe and Columbus)
Los Angeles-based artist Kori Newkirk examines common cultural signifiers of particular African American communities, creating self-conscious visual puns out of plastic hair beads, braided hair extensions and pomade, basketballs, and elements of hip-hop fashion, among other things. Ironically pointing to the mythologies that revolve around these tropes, Newkirk-following in the footsteps of David Hammons and others-attempts to destabilize assumptions about identity.
Newkirk uses materials that emerged from the African-American experience as a medium to construct images of stereotypical white culture. While Newkirk considers himself a sculptor, he complements these works with photographs in which he pictures himself with his identity obscured, allowing his figure to function as a signifier of black people in general. Although his work is about blackness and place, its implications are never as simple as this pairing would
suggest.

As a true laboratory for groundbreaking scholarship, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago offers an evening salon with artist Jeff Koons, collector Stefan Edlis, and critic James Yood. Hosted by Dr. Lisa Wainwright, Dean of Graduate Studies, the event is designed to encourage a dialogue around important topics in contemporary art practice.
In addition to examining the relationship between artist, collector, and critic, the evening's discussion will focus on the return of the Wunderkammern in contemporary collecting. Recalling the princely collections of the 17th Century, found objects and popular arts join painting and prints as "objects of wonder" in today's collections.

ANYA IN AND OUT OF FOCUS
2004, Marian Marzynski, USA, 93 min.
A doting papa, himself an orphan and holocaust survivor, aims to give his American-born only daughter everything he never had -- everything but freedom from his all-consuming desire to possess her heart and soul. Director Marzynski, the father in this passionately personal documentary covering virtually the entire 30-year span of his daughter's life, follows Anya from indulged girlhood to hard-won independence and motherhood, as the rambunctious child proves to have a will every bit as strong as that of her father. ANYA poignantly and insightfully lays bare the tug-of-war of family love. DigiBeta video. (BS)
Director and former Chicagoan Marian Marzynski will be present for audience discussion at the Wednesday screening.
Wednesday, March 30, 8:30 pm;
Thursday, March 31, 6:15 pm
Gene Siskel Film Center

"Frans Poelstra, his dramaturg and Bach"
Frans Poelstra & Robert Steijn (Netherlands)
March 25, 26, and 27, 2005
Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8pm
Post-show discussion on Saturday with Lin Hixson
Admission $12
Links Hall
When a choreographer reaches a certain age, he cannot avoid the music of Bach anymore. Especially when he is asked to make a performance for a theatre space at a dance festival. How will Frans Poelstra survive on an official dance stage and how will he tackle the dilemma of presenting both a homage to the sophisticated Goldberg Variations and a performance in line with his usual destructive way of improvising? There will be a battle between the prerecorded variations by Bach and the live input and impulses of the performers. They will show the making of a performance on the spot: live image-making, live dancing, live confessions, live storytelling, live (mis)behavior, live dramaturgy and live video-editing. Their performance zooms in on the here and now of the theatre, fighting with the perfect time management of Bach.
Frans Poelstra - as a kid Frans Poelstra stared more into the waters of the canals in Amsterdam than being at school. He still hasn't got a degree, but he kept his dreams. Dreams of being the next Jimi Hendrix, but he had no talent to play the guitar, so he decided to work in the theatre, the place where you can dream on a professional level. First he worked as a technician, later on as a performer. For him, performing is a matter of keeping channels open (in order to think, to listen and to dream, without taking any responsibility for form, structure or interpretation). As a performer he wants to dance through all possible virtual realities of thoughts and associations. During the collaborative improvisation event "Tarzan" he realized that Robert Steijn triggered him to be open, caring and trustful. On the basis of this experience they decided to work together on this solo project.
Robert Steijn - as a kid Robert Steijn played more with dolls than with cars. He still hasn't got a driving license, but he has had a lot of girlfriends. Dreaming of becoming a dancer, but not exactly excellent in sports, he decided to study dance studies to become a dance dramaturg. He happened to be the first dance dramaturg of the Netherlands. For him dramaturgy is a matter of keeping channels open (in order to think, to listen and to dream, without taking any responsibility for form, structure or interpretation). As a dramaturg he wants to dance through all possible virtual realities of thoughts and associations. During the collaborative improvisation event "Tarzan" he realized that Frans Poelstra triggered him to be severe, sharp and nihilistic.

"Hectic, lyrical, swooningly romantic and almost unwatchably brutal,PURPLE BUTTERFLY deploys a modern Asian gangster-movie aesthetic to tell a love story of Shakespearian dimensions."-- Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly.
"This wildly impressionistic period thriller. . .has plenty going for it, including a terrific climax." -- J. Hoberman
