Link To IAM Gallery 38/39 Space

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.

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.

For the duration of its stay at IAM, there will be several corresponding events in celebration of Surrealist ideas and collaborative processes:

7p Friday March 9
Lecture - Dan Swartz on the ideas behind the show and Surrealism

7p Friday March 23
Colloquium - Lucy Collins tentatively interviewing Tove Hermanson on Surrealism's influence on Fashion

7p March 26
Film Screening - Beauty and the Beast
c.1946

Gallery Hours: Tuesday & Wednesday from 4:30-6, or by Appointment

"EX: Creative Collaboration" will also travel to Chicago, IL, and Fort
Wayne, IN throughout 2012.

Artists Include: Abdi Farah, Ali Aschman, Avneet Pannu, Christina Long, Dan Callis, David Carpenter, Emily Weiss, Jake Saunders, Jennifer Mills, Jess Poplawski, John McCormick, John Silvis, Josh Dihle, Joshua Cave, Joyce Lee, Kate Mangold, Kathryn Drury, Kristina Paabus, Lacey Richter, Liza Cucco, Nicholas Steindorf, Reid Strelow, Robin Kang, Sommer Starks, Stephanie Carpenter, and Zach Klein.

Carousel Space Press Release:

"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."

Roxaboxen Exhibitions: Mind and Reality

Roxaboxen is located two blocks from the Damen/Cermak stop on the Pink Line in Pilsen and used to function in the neighborhood as a funeral home

In November, I co-curated an international show and exchange of prints with the artist and curator Ben Rak from Sydney, Australia entitled Mind and Reality and featuring the work of 32 artists which was shown at Roxaboxen Exhibitions in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago.

The artists included are: Alexa Karabin, Jaeyoung Kim, Sarazen Haile, Ramon Miranda- Beltran, Robin Kang, Sterling Lawrence, Christina Mc Clelland, Peter Power, Brian Rush, Jason Schroeder, Alexander Valentine, Matthew Cummings, Caleb Sheridan, Rafael Butron, Quillan Brodie, Tom Rae, Mitchell Kelly, Itzick Fischer, Mark Visione, Max Gosling, Kim Hungerford, Michael Kempson, Jason Pho, Elizabeth Pozega, David Quoy, Paul Rushworth, Fatima Saeed, Ben Soedrajiit, Anne Starling, Daniel Chant in addition to the work of Ben Rak and myself.

The Roxaboxen Show made the Bad At Sports Top 10 Weekend Picks!

Each artist made an edition of 34 11x 15" prints addressing the theme of "Mind and Reality," 32 of them were dispersed among the other contributors to the exchange, one artist proof from each artist was displayed at Roxaboxen Exhibitions in Chicago, IL, in the US on November 18th through December 3rd 2011, and the other set of APs will be exhibited in March 2012 in the COFA space at the University of New South Wales in Sidney, NSW, in Australia.

The artists proofs that were sent to Sidney will be included in the permanent collection of the University of New South Wales's College of Fine Art following the exhibition. Negotiations are still in process for a permanent home for the other set of artists proofs in Chicago, IL.

Special thanks to Liz Mc Carthy and everyone at Roxaboxen Exhibitions for helping to make this show a success!! Special thanks also goes to Sarazen Haile, Jaeyoung Kim, Alexa Karabin and Robert Odden for helping so much with the installation, the show opening, and publishing of the catalog! Thanks is also due to Danny Miller and Peter Powers, and the SAIC Printmedia department who helped cover shipping costs to Australia.
