... takes up the Viennese tradition of applied arts and develops it further in accordance with the present day. Since this is neither handicraft nor design, the artwork remains its own consistent independent work. The project has set itself the task of demonstrating the impossibility of assigning the work of young artists to a genre and also the fact that the claim of an artistic work cannot be confined to the narrow frame of a picture on the wall.

Participating Artists:
Cornelis van Almsick, Puneh Ansari, Ovidiu Anton, Thomas Ballhausen, Tizia Barci, Anna Barfuss, Johanna Braun, Emma Maud Corrall, Marco Dessi, Driendl*Architects, Anna Egarmina, David Eisl, Lionel Favre, Karin Ferrari, Paul Philipp Heinze, Denise Herz, Kathi Hofer, Milli Kaufmann, Elke Silvia Krystufek, Mahony, Sands Murray-Wassink, Michael Niemetz, Micha Payer + Martin Gabriel, Stefan Reiterer, David Roth, Fiona Rukschcio, Elisabeth von Samsonow, Michael Strasser, Annette Tesarek, Jenni Tischer, Magda Tothova, Christian Weissenberger, Niki Weitzer, Julia Zastava, Magdalena Zeller

Baccara (Madeleine Bailey and Helen Maurene Cooper) “Thirteen Ways” Opening Reception
Jun 7 - 26, 2013
A solo show of new work by BOLT Resident Baccara (the collaboration between Madeleine Bailey and Helen Maurene Cooper).
show nearby

Conceived out of an extended game of telephone between Bailey and Cooper, Thirteen Ways is composed of large-scale photographic cylinders that explore the impermanence of the image through a collection of fractured narratives. With architectural insistence, their works invoke astrology and light, the found and the fabricated. Poetically flawed and playful, the installation highlights slippage within a dyadic relationship.
There will be an opening reception on Friday, June 7, 2013, and the exhibition will run through June 26, 2013.

Jessica Bardsley, Victoria Bradford, and Rebecca Hamlin Green “Live/Work” Opening Reception
Jun 7 - 26, 2013
HATCH Projects artists Jessica Bardsley, Victoria Bradford, and Rebecca Hamlin Green consider the fluid ways that one makes a home.
show nearby

In the exhibition Live/Work HATCH Projects artists Jessica Bardsley, Victoria Bradford, and Rebecca Hamlin Green consider the fluid ways that one makes a home. For artists, the home is often a place where domestic tasks intersect with intense creative production. With no definitive barrier between home and studio (whether by choice or not), artists mine their environs or those of others to source ideas or to enact works — a process which cultivates a nuanced intellectual and creative engagement to concepts of home in relation to states of being. With references ranging from Emily Dickinson, to personal heirlooms and to domestic rituals, the artists assert and deconstruct the gallery space as a place for living and working.

This exhibition is organized by HATCH Projects curator-in-residence, Jessica Cochran.

There will be an opening reception on Friday, June, 7, 2013, and the exhibition will run through June 26, 2013.

Mike Wong The Dramatics of Living
Jun 7 - 28, 2013
show nearby

Kasia Kay Art Projects is pleased to present “The Dramatics of Living”, Mike Wong’s first solo exhibition with the Gallery. The show, curated by Stefania Carrozzini, is composed of 15 paintings and one video installation entitled “Unburden”.
“The Dramatics of Living“ is an original approach of how Mike views life in recursive forms, paradoxical codes within the complex structures. The audience walks through the journey of living and finally come to the video installation to unburden themselves so that they can be free - to unlearn and learn again.

With or without painting on the canvas, the process to cover and uncover part of the painting, bear witness to a fragmented reality, a precarious existence that is strengthened through a more extensive and complex vision of life, where all aspects from pain to joy are part of the same reality, the faces of the same coin.

This energy is made of a combination of spontaneity and strategy, that will flow to the “Unburden”, a wormhole (box) where the audience is free to release their “burdens” with words, drawings on note pads into the box. Embracing the dramatics of life is possible when the real communication with our inner being take place through the creative journey. At some point of living we need to reflect, unlearn what we have learned so that we can be ready for the next frontier of living with fresh insights to life.

Mike’s painting is best known for his innovative and inventive used of everyday used materials. He likened the canvas to time and space and he explored what it means to paint without the canvas. In the process of art making, everyday objects becomes a medium. A cloth hanger, masking tape, electrical cable ties became part of the installation. The works often has a 3 dimensional quality registering the flow and energy.

With his video installation works, the same theme of space and time are often explored. Some of the works also taps on audience participation. The audience then becomes part of the installation and only through that process, is the work complete.

The paradoxical concept of Mike Wong’s work is to exercise spontaneously within the complex of strategy.

Mike Wong was born in Singapore in 1967. Mike Wong is a multi-media artist who works across platforms of painting, video, theater and installations.
Training in western and Chinese art, as well as in engineering, has given Mike Wong a unique perspective and approach towards his art making. He lives and works in Singapore.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rebecca Eaton, Gallery Manager, THE MISSION
(312) 243-1200
rebecca@themissionprojects.com

CHICAGO, Illinois - THE MISSION is pleased to announce The Third Expedition, an exhibition of recent work by Argentina-based artist Erica Bohm. In her first solo show at THE MISSION, Bohm presents three compelling series of photographs that investigate human knowledge of outer space. She employs imagery from varied source materials – from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) to popular culture and the Science Fiction genre to images that she photographed at the Houston NASA facility – to examine notions of science, astronomy, time travel, and the origin of the universe. Working in a combination of digital and analog photography, she explores the relationship between science and art, and constructs a visual narrative that comments on the tension between fiction and reality.

“For most of us, our knowledge of outer space is second-hand. These scientific ‘facts’ are learned through the pages of a book, the television screen and the computer display — a conglomeration of ‘evidence’ that, for the average person, is impossible to verify with our own eyes. This science is the kind that sparks the imagination with a mixture of fact, mystery and intrigue perfectly poised for artistic interpretation. Contributing to the lineage created by the generations of science fiction storytellers before her, Erica Bohm thrives in this uncertain context of fact and fiction, of the testaments of the select few scientific authorities and the fantastical speculation of great artistic minds. This exhibition, ‘The Third Expedition,’ is an ode to the artist’s lifelong love of the science fiction genre, as well as a reference to the way we use our imaginations to lessen the physical and conceptual distance that we have from the true subject matter.”

-Robin Dluzen

The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated brochure, featuring an essay by artist and art critic Robin Dluzen.

The Third Expedition opens Friday, May 3, 2013 and is on view through Saturday, June 15, 2013.

Nicholas Frank “Peregrine was great...”
May 5 - Jun 16, 2013

“Peregrine was great...”

So he would hear. In his kitchen in Milwaukee, the artist Nicholas Frank had repeated to himself, sometimes loudly, other times quietly, even
just the word “Peregrine.” He had wondered first of all, about the abridgement of the name of that artist-run space in Chicago, and what was it
really, for he had never been, Peregrine Program, or Projects, or something like that. Over drinks with his friends, he would also often hear the
name Edmund, Edmund the guy who ran the gallery, and almost believe this person existed. Once, the morning after beers at the Polish Falcon
bar, he woke to the thought that he might have met the Peregrine Edmund. That they had talked about painting, paintings, language,
substance, skeletons, flesh, fiber, memory, beings; that the night before they had shaken hands; and they had agreed they were not able to tell
the other artist apart from their project. Nicholas Hermetic Gallery Frank was convinced that this was the Peregrine Program Edmund he had bought a pint for.

In the subsequent months – still unsure when they had exactly first met – Frank would conceive a staging of “ghosts” to this new relationship for he believed that was how some artists existed. First he ghosted drawings by Peregrine Edmund; drawings made with cast-offs, including an old discarded library book, overstock fabric, and mirrors from a thrift-store. And then he imaged images of Edmund’s sculpture; images of a blue object made with seashells and starfish, photographed against fur. And further, he witnessed the pedestal to that sculpture, a Greek column-inspired construction of wood and paint, in white, blue and gold. The artist Nicholas Frank borrowed, sat on (in broad daylight), played with (in the dark), and captured something of some things by the Edmund that ran the Peregrine Program, and presently, he would set down his coffee, grab his bags, lock the door, and he would drive, Milwaukee to Chicago, to Peregrine Program, to say…

Amanda Ross-Ho

May 4 – June 22, 2013
Opening, Saturday, May 4th, 6-8 pm

Shane Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce CRADLE OF FILTH, Amanda Ross-Ho’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery in Chicago. Ross-Ho will present a group of new paintings on dyed canvas, together with a large-scale, wall-bound soft sculpture.

Known for her diverse material dialectic, Ross-Ho uses interdisciplinary procedures to manifest complex networks of thought. CRADLE OF FILTH examines the formal and emotional properties of scale and unrestrained gesture, negotiating between expressive impulse and forensic sobriety.

The centerpiece and namesake for CRADLE OF FILTH is a hyper-articulated, 400 percent scale recreation of a teenaged girl’s backpack, which was found by the artist several years ago hanging from the side of a Chicago dumpster. Covered in densely scrawled palimpsests of band names, cultural affiliations, and youthful exclamations, the bag serves as a record and emblem of early developing self-expression.

Ross-Ho’s oversized reconstruction of this ephemeral document elevates it to monumental scale, training a photographic gaze on its impulsive markings. Through Ross-Ho’s reimagining, the massive backpack becomes a kind of ur vessel of identity formation, at once a reliquary and a fertility icon.

Inversely, Ross-Ho’s paintings function as analogous sites of theatrically brash expression. Drawing inspiration from the expulsive energy of the bag’s hieroglyphics, Ross-Ho uses the parallel space of the canvas as a stage for the unencumbered performance of abstract mark making. The paintings—at once confident, excessive, vulnerable, and tentative—emulate the capriciousness of the anonymous bag owner’s nonetheless urgent assertions of defiance and belonging.

Amanda Ross-Ho was born in Chicago and lives and works in Los Angeles. She has a concurrent solo show with Mitchell-Innes and Nash in New York and will present a large-scale public project at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, in July. Her recent solo exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art was accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue and her work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach; Pomona College Museum of Art; Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; and in the 2008 Whitney Biennial.
