2025 UPDATE! CHICAGO ILLINOIS Follow along here on Instagram as we turn a 144 year old Chicago storefront into a place for creative endeavors, events, and quality time. THAT SUMMER FEELING Replete with historical and cultural significance, forged through passing generations, Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, Wisconsin , still oozes a nostalgic all-American charm thanks to its current custodians... All original elements have been dutifully preserved, while any new structures added by Tereasa and David have been salvaged from neighbouring farms, treehouses and lakeside cabins. The result is an assemblage of locally sourced, recycled lodgings . Among these, one encounters the Hill House, a more contemporary lodge; the Craft Cabin, a charming 1940s shack relocated from a nearby site; and the latest addition, a gi...
If the elements could speak, what would they say? SEEING SOUND
2024: “Seeing Sound” is an expansive exhibition that explores the recent
trajectory of sound as a dynamic branch of contemporary art practice,
curated by Barbara London—one of the world’s most influential curators
of new media art and the founder of the Video-media Exhibition &
Collection Programs at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York. Museum: www.pratt.edu/exhibitions
The exhibition includes decomposing sound sculptures, audio-video
installation, specialized listening devices, and the use of responsive
technologies. The artists in the exhibition create environmental
experiences, using sound as a sensorial and pliant material that
enchants as an intangible but integral component of art and daily life. They incorporate this fluid medium into their experimental practices by
working across disciplines and moving between music and composition,
video and performance, sculpture and installation.
If the elements could speak, what would they say?You can’t live without me, the water might remind us. You will return to me,
says the land. Artist Jeffrey Gibson fields these and other vital
messages in a new projection artwork making appearances at New York City
landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge and Kimlau Square.
It is Gibson’s first project in New York since his participation in the ongoing 60th Venice Biennale, where he is the first Native solo artist to represent the United States.
The project revives a previous work the Choctaw-Cherokee artist
originally created for the 2021 Hudson Eye arts festival, where he
presented 50 individual stationary signs featuring the same multicolored
patterns and phrases across the Rip Van Winkle Bridge connecting Hudson
and Catskill, New York. Gibson explained in a phone interview with Hyperallergichow
in collaborating with Reich on the animation, he wanted to create a
type of “heartbeat” that is both “seductive and calming” for viewers.
