Assemble

The process of “assembling” is a progression wherein the gathering and collecting of components builds for a common purpose, yet the pieces remain self-subsistent. In the art realm, the notion of assemblages builds on remix practices, which blur distinctions between invented and borrowed work. Similarly, the act of “assembling” refers to the congregation of individuals for such a common purpose, where the experience is the final product. This exhibition aims to utilize both applications of assembling in bringing together current and future SAIC students of all disciplines to view works that feature a mixture of various elements and composites.

New Wave Ladies Nite
The Carousel Space Project Presents:
New Wave Ladies Nite
Saturday Feb. 4th 6pm-10pm

Curated by Robin Kang
2nd Wave, 3rd Wave, New Wave, No Wave...Although the current timeline for the feminist movement may be blurry or undefined, the quality of the artwork created by emerging female artists is clearly strong. Amid powerful movements of globalization, eco-feminism, cyber-feminism, a return to craft movement, and even progress in female candidates for political positions, the soil is rich for gender issue conversation and headway.
Juxtaposing a group exhibition of a new wave of female artists to a background of synthpop, draws comparisons to the similar timelines of the two movements and highlights their repetitive persistence and evolution over the years with bit of humor.

Back2Back2Back: Remix + Multiple

organized by: Robin Kang & Silvia Vasilescu
The remix and the multiple have become an interdisciplinary language. The hybrid process of combining fragments in a non-linear re-interpretation has found an essential voice in today's visual practice. The remix allows for a major conceptual leap in making art on a meta-structural level. Artists draw together and make sense of a much larger body of information by threading a continuous narrative through it. The machine has allowed us the ability to re-conceptualize our relation to knowledge and to organize it, rather than merely accumulate information.

--Nor There (A temporary exhibition)
Friday, May 13 · 7:00pm - 11:00pm
Can a labradoodle have a hybrid identity? What about a spork, a prose poem, Pajamajeans, studio apartments, or a futon? Seems flippant in light of the weightiness of sociopolitical categorical identities, but it illustrates both the arbitrariness of such categories and their perceived importance. In the wake of cultural collision, mash-ups pervade and persist. Without the traditional categories of identification framing our unde...rstanding, how are we to perceive ourselves and our world?
So what constitutes hybrid identity today? Or transnational identity? Or transgendered identity? Transethnic, transgenerational, or transeconomic identity?
We live in a multiplicitous world. Inevitably, many people identify as ____ and _____, or neither ______ nor _____, as in, both Columbian and American, neither feminine nor masculine, both rebel and patriot, neither young nor adult (read: twentysomething), or both traditional and cosmopolitan. The pervasiveness of dual/multiple/and hybrid identity calls into question the traditional boundaries that make a person, a culture, or a...n object either one thing or another. It initiates the destabilization of identity, and unravels into crisis, and/or underscores the relative comfort and ease with which people traverse traditional boundaries and categories today.
--Nor There is a one-night exhibition of intersections of identities.
Participants:
Bruce Iberg, Ashley D. Hairston, Alex Z.
A show produced by Silvia Vasilescu and Katie Waddell

Déjà vu Update!
Thank you to all that came out for our fabulous grand opening! The evening was full of surreal discoveries, wood chopping, beer drinking, and wonderful music.
If you liked what you experienced, here is some more information about the artists and their work:
Ei Jane Janet Lin
www.eijanejanetlin.com
Miao Jiaxin
www.miaojiaxin.com
Janet, originally from Taiwan and currently in the SAIC Fiber and Material Studies MFA program, and Miao, from Shanghai, China enrolled in SAIC’s MFA Photography program, will be exhibiting a collaborative project.
About the work:
A performative video documentation of a collaborative live performance on an interactive and broadcasting pornographic website.
Guillermo R. Gudiño
guillermogudino.com
Originally from México, and also in SAIC’s MFA Photography program.
Artist’s Description:
The temporary situations I produce establish a dialogue with the given context. Displacing functions, activities or locations my installations question the validity of what we accept as a legitimate experience.
Robby MacBain
www.spiretospire.com
Robby, currently in the SAIC MFA Sound Department, is originally from Rhode Island.
Artist’s Description:
My interest in sound as an art form is rooted in the simple act of sitting quietly and listening. In the process of closely observing my surroundings, I feel that the barrier between myself and the world around me becomes more fluid. Through my work with sound, I hope to create listening experiences that encourage this kind of fluidity.
Sterling Lawrence
sterlinglawrence.com
Native to Chicago, Sterling is enrolled in the SAIC’s Printmedia MFA program.
Artist’s Description:
My work deals with how one can reconcile the historicity of the thing
being expressed through exploring what baggage is brought from the past
manifesting itself in the present. This collision with the now creates
a narrative which challenges the viewer to engage in questions of
value, abstraction, contribution, and transformation.
