Abdi Farah, Ali Aschman, Avneet Pannu, Christina Long, Dan Callis,
David Carpenter, Emily Weiss, Jake Saunders, Jennifer Mills, Jess

Stephanie Carpenter, and Zach Klein.<br /> <br /> Inspired by The Exquisite
Corpse parlor game, which was originally intended to provoke further
creativity by removing sole authorship and pre-conceptions of form, EX
will produce a vivid experience for its viewers, and facilitate new
connections between the artists in disparate communities. As part of
their mission to revitalize communities through contemporary art,
Wunderkammer Company is interested in the innovation inherent to the
collaborative process. To facilitate this, EX takes the Surrealist
tradition of the Exquisite Corpse and creates an indirect collaboration
between artist, curator, and administrator.</span></div>Carousel Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01635387287847174178noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920961977465406614.post-46897072273179744392012-04-24T20:24:00.003-07:002012-05-01T13:39:26.949-07:00The Other City<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Change life! Change Society! These ideas lose completely their meaning without producing an</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">appropriate space. A lesson to be learned from soviet constructivists from the 1920s and 30s,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and of their failure, is that new social relations demand a new space, and vice-versa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- Henri Lefebrvre</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Space is a fundamental dimension of human society, and cannot exist without</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">addressing the socio-historical equities embedded within.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This exhibition seeks to repopulate our cities with poetic eccentricities, whimsical</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">inquisitors, and citizens that know no shibboleth. We are mapping The Other City; the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">invisible specters that haunt the edge of town. A place where towers blossom with</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">color in the spring while the great halls of our libraries collapse into harmonizing codes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and commands. Capitalism has done way with the mythic imaginary in favor for the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">rational, slipping dangerously close between the thresholds of imagined and real space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can we allow the poetics of the land to be shaped by a new mythic imaginary? This is</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the question we propose. The Other City is not a sovereign nation, but instead a new</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">imagination from which a new space can be carved in order to develop new systems of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">social relations, equity and justice. It is our collective imagination, our poetics, and our</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">new founded city.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We have always understood ourselves as temporal beings, irreversibly contemporary,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">unavoidably temporary, and always fettered to the given moment. It is now, through</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the advent of the modern city, that human society is being re-interpreted in terms of a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">collaborative relay. A mapping between space and time. Lines have been drawn across</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the land, dissecting it, organizing it, and distributing it in unequal proportion. The body</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">has not been spared. Communities dislocated, brutalized, and marginalized. Society at</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">large is haunted by the spatial injustice cast in the shadows of the modern metro-pole.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The equitable distribution of resources, services, and access is a basic human right, and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">in this way the space we occupy, our cities, nations… they have failed us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Other City is a critical observance of the function of space within our societies, but</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">even more, an unabashed imaginary of how that space could function, abandoned from</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">the inequities that haunt it now.</span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show">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.</span><br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br /></div>
“New Wave” is both a verbal pun and a comparison to punk music’s electronic daughter. The sub-genre of rock music that emerged in the mid to late 1970s saw revivals in the 1990s and early 2000s. Common characteristics of New Wave music, aside its punk influences, include the usage of synthesizers and electronic productions, the importance of styling and the arts, as well as a great amount of diversity.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

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. <br />

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<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">rstanding, how are we to perceive ourselves and our world? <br />
<br />
So what constitutes hybrid identity today? Or transnational identity? Or transgendered identity? Transethnic, transgenerational, or transeconomic identity?<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
--Nor There is a one-night exhibition of intersections of identities. <br />

The evening was full of surreal discoveries, wood chopping, beer drinking, and wonderful music.<br />

If you liked what you experienced, here is some more information about the artists and their work:<br />
<br />
Ei Jane Janet Lin<br />
www.eijanejanetlin.com<br />
<br />
Miao Jiaxin<br />
www.miaojiaxin.com<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
About the work:<br />
A performative video documentation of a collaborative live performance on an interactive and broadcasting pornographic website.<br />
<br />
Guillermo R. Gudiño<br />
guillermogudino.com<br />
<br />
Originally from México, and also in SAIC’s MFA Photography program. <br />
<br />
Artist’s Description: <br />
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.<br />
<br />
Robby MacBain<br />
www.spiretospire.com<br />
<br />
Robby, currently in the SAIC MFA Sound Department, is originally from Rhode Island. <br />
<br />
Artist’s Description: <br />
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.<br />
<br />
Sterling Lawrence<br />
sterlinglawrence.com<br />
<br />
Native to Chicago, Sterling is enrolled in the SAIC’s Printmedia MFA program. <br />
<br />
Artist’s Description: <br />
My work deals with how one can reconcile the historicity of the thing<br />
being expressed through exploring what baggage is brought from the past<br />
manifesting itself in the present. This collision with the now creates<br />
a narrative which challenges the viewer to engage in questions of<br />
value, abstraction, contribution, and transformation.Carousel Birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01635387287847174178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920961977465406614.post-64140761343297907912011-02-10T10:56:00.000-08:002011-02-24T09:51:01.625-08:00Grand Opening March 5th!<div style="text-align: right;"><b>Carousel Space Project</b></div><div style="text-align: right;">1310 N.

The Carousel Space Project is an alternative project space created to promote creative culture and dialogue in the comfort of the apartment. Located in Chicago’s historic Wicker Park, this space features frequent exhibitions and performances showcasing emerging artists from a variety of backgrounds and media. We hope you will join us at our next event!<br />
<br />
The Carousel Space Project exists exclusively for promotional exhibition and amusement purposes and does not sell art or creative services. As a volunteer run space, we operated entirely on the generosity of helping hands. If you are interested in becoming involved please email us!<br />
