SUMMARY:Here All Along
DESCRIPTION:On View: Wednesday\, August 26 & Thursday\, August 27\, 10 am – 6 pm\nReception: Friday\, August 28\, 6 – 9 pm\nGallery Talk: Saturday\, August 29\, 2 – 4 pm \n\nSuperficially\, a neighborhood is designated by boundaries\, the invisible lines traced along streets and across topographical features. But a neighborhood is given meaning by its inhabitants\, the people whose lives enmesh to tell a story and create a sense of place. Here All Along is a collaborative exhibition featuring works from several artists living and/or working in the Klondike Smokey City\, New Chicago and Crosstown neighborhoods. \nThe show’s works are expressions of individual experiences\, but together they conjure notions of everyday life in these communities. From portraiture to large-scale public sculpture to intricate leather and fabric goods\, Here All Along is a collection of distinct offerings focused on transcending invisible lines and creating connections between neighborhoods\, connections between people. \nParticipating Artists: Calvin Farrar\, Renee Hodges\, Darlene Newman\, Ted Norwood\, Artiek Smith\, Nelson Smith III\, Nelson Smith IV and Larry Walker & Brittney Bullock

The Festival programs a 90-minute collection of shorts from its most recent Festival to go on a theatrical tour to independent art houses in more than 50 cities nationwide. It is one of very few theatrical releases of short films in America. \nFueled by artistic expression and limited only by their runtime\, short films transcend traditional storytelling. They are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. From documentary to animation\, narrative to experimental\, the abbreviated form is no longer just for the novice. Shorts have and will continue to be an important part of cinema\, storytelling\, and culture. The Festival has always treated short films with the highest regard and gives a home to new (and old) projects for audiences to discover and celebrate. \nThe Festival’s Short Film Program has long been established as a place to discover talented directors\, such as past alums Wes Anderson\, Todd Haynes\, Nicole Holofcener\, Spike Jonze\, Paul Thomas Anderson\, Lynne Ramsay\, David O. Russell\, Trey Parker and Matt Stone\, Lake Bell\, Jay and Mark Duplass\, Alexander Payne\, Debra Granik\, Andrea Arnold\, and many others. \nRecent short film discoveries at the Festival include Golden Globe Award winner Jill Soloway (Transparent) and Academy Award nominee Damien Chazelle (Whiplash). \nThe Festival is the centerpiece of the year-round public programs for the nonprofit Institute\, which also hosts 24 residency labs and grants more than $2.5 million to independent artists each year. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:XO: Collaborative Works by Chloe York & Eric Quick
DESCRIPTION:Artists’ Statement \nWithin our individual works\, we explore the metaphor of the exoskeleton in its relation to the human practice of camouflage and self-defense. We wished to combine this shared interest in a collaborative series of mixed media paintings and sculptural installation. These works depict creatures that physically possess exoskeletons of their own. \nThis series\, entitled XO is a play on the push and pull between abstraction and realism\, each artist using his and her individual strengths to create a fully formed\, cohesive creature with a disconnect in visual styles.

SUMMARY:Perpetual Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Artists’ Statements \nTori Cooper \nCurrently\, my artwork focuses on the cultural\, emotional and psychological connection to physical items and the process of repetitive action. We endlessly attach emotional significance to physical items. The item then comes to represent something greater and more powerful than a simple disposable object. The item becomes a tangible extension of emotions and memory. Thus\, the mind and the spirit alike have great difficulty relinquishing these items of personal significance. \nThe series consists of interwoven reeds into 6″x6″ canvases. The movement of the reeds is seamless\, having truly no end or beginning\, but the direction of each reed changes. Some move rapidly in a whipping motion. While other pieces in the series are fluid and subtle and others cradling and protective. Each piece represents an emotional state of being present during the creation of the piece. Thus\, the series seamlessly connects the artist\, the viewer and the expressed emotional state of being in the piece. \nTrevor Simpson  \nIn this series I have set out to manipulate the plasticity of composition and form in unexpected arrangements. I allow for the viewer to be engaged in the compositional formulation of each piece. The viewer’s eye and imagination is left free to play within the negative and positive space of each piece. Thematically the series is a process-based exploration of form as well as a 2d interpretation of Tori Cooper’s 3d assemblages. \nUltimately\, the pieces in the series create a collective lexicon of seemingly disparate arrangements. The series is a commentary on synchronicity and aligning what on the surface may appear to be fragmented.
