<span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 14px; line-height: 27.2px;">‘paperworks’ brings together the work of five young international artists sharing a common theme of reinterpretation in their practice. At some point each artists has used paper products in untraditional methods to express issues such as memory, politics and public interactions. The eclectic and minimalist installation of works organized by Platform 102 (Brussels) at Antena (Chicago) explores these issues through the mediums of video, photography, instructions and process driven practices.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 14px; line-height: 27.2px;">Artists: Léa Belooussovitch (FR), Marc Buchy (FR), João Freitas (PT), Saori Kuno (JP), Tramaine de Senna (USA).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><strong style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Opening Friday May 20, 2016 from 6pm-10pm</span></strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 14px; line-height: 27.2px;">More information at:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27.2px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #424242; font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 14px; line-height: 27.2px;"><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fplatform102.org%2F&h=HAQH_2uAe&enc=AZMOGLclDPHt6TpNCxAiRbHfHVsjAX7v0uF3ZnmihuPB5xHRrHPw0f_JyDvFX-f-Owc&s=1" style="color: #121212;" target="_blank">platform102.org</a><br><a href="http://www.antenapilsen.com/" style="color: #121212;" target="_blank">www.antenapilsen.com</a><br><br>image: </span><span style="color: rgb(66, 66, 66); font-family: proxima-nova; font-size: 14px; line-height: 27.2px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Léa Belooussovitch</span><br></div>

He has screened, performed, and exhibited collaborative work at venues including The Kitchen (New York City, NY), Recess (New York City, NY), The Edinburgh International Film Festival (Edinburgh, Scotland), The Crossroads Moving Image Festival (San Francisco, CA), Roots & Culture CAC (Chicago, IL), and The Hyde Park Arts Center (Chicago, IL). He has also co-authored research articles published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.

Historically, Walpurgisnacht was observed by lighting large bonfires and burning rag and straw witch effigies in order to ward off the overhead passing of witches on their way to the sabbath. M</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; line-height: 20.844446182251px;">odern observances of Walpurgisnacht are held throughout Europe and Scandinavia with large public gatherings of bonfires and dancing.

<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222;">Documenting the art world might be likened to searching for ghosts in a haunted house. Galleries and museums of art are sometimes very intimidating places to enter. And when understood as a succession of interrelated social events, the art world itself can be said to manifest only briefly in any given place. In spite of that ephemeral nature, the art world is regularly anthropomorphized and (rightly) called such things as capricious--even malevolent. Its unseen ears hear what is said; its unseen eyes see what is done. Slights are long remembered. And as gossip travels, tales of treachery are embellished. Warnings are passed to the young: Avoid that person! Avoid that place!</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222;">In the spirit of the season, Antena will house a photographic installation derived from a decade-long effort to record Chicago's contemporary artists and exhibitions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="color: #222222;">The grandson of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island and New York City to Chicago, Paul Germanos was born November 30, 1967, in Cook County, Illinois.

18th St. Pilsen Open Studios was started in 2003 by a group of longtime Pilsen artists, most but not all of them Latino. The focus of the event is on "studios" as the place of production, allowing the public a rare glimpse at where (and how) art in Pilsen is made. All artists involved in the event either work or live in the neighborhood, or have a strong historical connection to Pilsen. A limited number of cultural spaces /cafes in Pilsen also participate in this event to show work from Pilsen-connected artists who don't have a studio in the neighborhood.<strong></strong></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The comfort of “home” is exploited in the three video works featured in the exhibition </span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A Home coming.</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Each video is situated in a liminal, transitory space that complicates otherwise familiar places and implicates the role of the voyeur, blurring the distinction between reality and fiction. The exhibition will feature a collaborative artwork, and one individual work by each of the artists.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For their individual works, both Cara and Alejandro appropriated existing “home videos.” For Cara’s video installation </span><span style="color: black; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let’s Do It,</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> edited footage from a 1990 home music video - originally made in collaboration with her father - raises questions of early sexual awareness and depicts the fine line between confidence and self consciousness. Alejandro’s video on the other hand abstracts an overtly sexual video clip from a homemade porn he found online, offering a humorous perspective on that which is usually confined to the private realm.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The setting of their collaborative video installation </span><span style="color: #222222; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cul-de-Sac </span><span style="color: #222222; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is a subdivision of more than 100 houses all in the same state of construction. The timeless music box melody accompaniment implies a history and offers a counterpoint to the otherwise cultural void depicted in the footage of the construction site. The hypnotic video exposes the skeleton of a yet-to-be populated, already-scripted homogenous society that prizes superficial appearance over true quality. </span></span></div>

In the following year, Diaz and Lewis worked together across the divide, Diaz in Havana and Lewis in Chicago. Their photo book, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SMS: Simultaneous Moments of Silence </span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">documents a year apart moving simultaneously through life in their distinct positions; Lewis is a gallery director of Rhona Hoffman Gallery and Diaz is an emerging Cuban artist. While Diaz and Lewis have performed private art actions from Varadero, Cuba to Hong Kong, their participation in Rapid Pulse International Performance Art Festival 2014 marked their first public performance together. In 2014, they realized two performative artworks through Defibrillator Gallery in Chicago, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Other’s Voice </span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I Am Not Myself</span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Both performances addressed the complexities of communication and the deconstruction of iconic symbols. Their collaborative practice continues to investigate how the political relationship and cultural distinctions between their two countries (the US and Cuba) manifest on a micro or personal level.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><br />

processes the consequences of a desire to isolate where it hurts and
what it is to be human.<i> </i>The work is inspired by my history as
a pediatric research subject and a more resent experience handling
dissected and dismembered cadavers at the end of their two-years of
use. I retired and documented a series of experimental handmade 16mm
film loops that had been at my service for the same duration. The
stills are displayed through a network of x-ray viewers, embellished
power strips and electrical cords. Also on display, a running film
installation in the process of breakdown.</div>

Using plants, refuse, and roadkill, Born and Martinez attempt
reanimation, asking: How does a body become a monument? Ruthless Powers
presents moments of decay, both architectural and biological, and the
subsequent preservation of abandoned places and post-mortem tissues. New
works reflect evidence of formal decision-making that leads to a
subconscious confrontation.<br /> <br /> Drinks and refreshments will be served. We hope you can join us!<br /> <br />
Liz Born is a printmaker, teaching artist and founder of Hoofprint
Workshop, a Pilsen-based printmaking studio. Her woodcuts feature a
handful of characters, archetypal and mammalian, performing acts of
eating, birthing, and self-contemplation.<br /> <br /> Victoria Martinez is
an interdisciplinary artist and educator from Pilsen. She creates
site-specific interventions in the urban environment that honor memories
growing up in the community. Her work includes materials from local
establishments and found objects to echo nostalgia.<br /> <br /> "antena" is
a project space located in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. The spanish
word "antena" means a device that is a transducer designed to transmit
or receive electromagnetic waves. In this case, it is meant to define a
cultural space that symbolically transmits/broadcasts art ideas, new
media & installation projects on a local and global scale.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://lizborn.com/">lizborn.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.victoria-martinez.com/" target="_blank">victoria-martinez.com </a><br /> <a href="http://antenapilsen.blogspot.com/">antenapilsen.blogspot.com</a><br /> <br /> On display through June 13th by appointment<br /> <br /> antena is located just a block from the 18th pink line station, at the corner of Laflin and 18th St</span></span>Miguelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12072813965571620432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27961354.post-11734384558971674472014-03-25T07:52:00.001-05:002014-03-25T07:52:18.606-05:00Saturday, March 29 at Cobalt Studio<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Saturday April 12, 2014 @ 7pm</b><br />
FREE ADMISSION <br />
<br />
The interdisciplinary work of Martin Howse is pre-occupied with a
broad questioning of the exact location of execution and of code
within the world (psychogeophysics). Through the construction of
experimental situations (within process-driven performance,
laboratories, walks, and workshops), material art works and texts,
Martin Howse explores the rich links between substance or materials
and execution or protocol, excavating issues of visibility and of
hiding within the world. Since 1998, Martin Howse has published,
workshopped, performed and exhibited worldwide.<br />

<span class="style65"><b>Multiples. </b>is a temporary
crossover market opening for one weekend in March and October 2014
showcasing objects produced as multiples. As a premise show, Multiples.
seeks to span the division between art and craft, which are intimately
connected, yet often artificially separated by preconceived notions of
social value. Modeled as a hybrid of the contemporary commercial art
fair, critical craft markets and an exploration of visual art forms,
Multiples. is an affordable option for contemporary artists and makers
looking to expose their practice and sell their editions, replicated
hand-made, or manufactured works in Chicago. Please click the apply link
above to showcase your work at our Spring or Fall markets, or the about
link to learn more about art multiples.</span>Miguelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12072813965571620432noreply@blogger.com0
