Transparent Reflect examines the portrait and the self-portrait and its overlap in art. The show takes the traditional approach of making a portrait (from an observational standpoint) and mixes it with the more reflective side of a self-portrait. The Artists in the show use photography, drawing, painting and installation works to portray their ideas though a range of formal and abstract approaches. They explore religion, sexuality, popular culture and the economic times that we are currently struggling through, and take a more autobiographical response to the current state of the nation. Transparent Reflect questions the notion of identity and brings forth reflection that is required and lately ignored in today’s society.

~Loaded: Hunting Culture in America@ Glass Curtain Gallery @Columbia College

josh winegar

jenn wilson

diana guerrero macia

The group art exhibition, Loaded: Hunting Culture in America, takes a deliberately ambivalent view toward the morality of hunting. The exhibition addresses the subject as a social, cultural, and artistic phenomenon, ideally nudging viewers to question their own preconceptions regarding hunting. In contemporary America, where people no longer need to hunt for survival, hunting culture –– with its roots in notions of American independence, the frontier spirit, dominance over nature, and rugged individualism –– has evolved to become an aesthetic and a lifestyle choice, a sport steeped in regional and family traditions. Many contemporary artists and designers have gravitated toward either the aesthetics or the cultural/social phenomena of hunting as the subject of their work, giving us objects, images, and spaces that range from kitsch to realism and hard-edged social commentary. This exhibition is timed to coincide with the college-wide Critical Encounters initiative "Human|Nature."
Curators:
Audrey Michelle Mast (freelance writer/editor, Managing Editor of Flavorpill Chicago and a web, marketing and PR associate at the Museum of Contemporary Photography)
Ann Wiens (artist, writer, Editor of DEMO magazine, and Director of Publications at Columbia College Chicago)

Artists: (confirmed so far; there will be more)
Diana Guerrero-Macia (Chicago)
Erika Larsen (New Jersey)
Brian Lesterberg (Minneapolis, MN)

Shaun Slifer (Pittsburg, PA)

WHEN: March 18 – April 29, 2009
Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 18, 5-8pm
Dressed to Kill Fashion Show at 6pm. A student response show.

~ The Drawn2 Project starts April 16th in PILSEN!

Drawn2 online flyer
Originally uploaded by Brooks Golden

Drawn2 Pilsen is a free artists’ showcase for anyone and everyone who loves art. Visitors get to check out and meet Pilsen-area emerging and established artists as they create one-of-a-kind works. Not only will these local artists be making art live, but visitors have the opportunity to buy these unique pieces at super rare, low prices.

We at the Drawn2 Project (organizers of the Drawn2 Pilsen event) are about having a good time while creating and sharing artwork. We also believe that art can be affordable, networking doesn't require you wear a tie, and discovering new artists on a weeknight is pretty cool.

If you feel like we do or are curious about this first-ever-in-Pilsen event, then please join us for a night of live drawing, chatting and meeting some of the incredible artists that live and work in this vibrant Chicago neighborhood.

Join us on
THURSDAY, APRIL 16th at:
The NATIVE SOUL
Tattooing, Collectibles and Gallery
1712 S. Ashland Ave.
Chicago, Illinois 60608

Book Release and Sticker Show

Opening Reception: Friday, February 20th, 7-10pm
Sticker Show on view for 2 more days: Sat Feb 21st, Sun Feb 22nd (1-8pm each day)

Postal stickers have long been a preferred substrate used by street artists to get up. Of course, because stickers from the US Postal Service, UPS, DHL and FedEx are so readily available, most of these stickers get lost in the fray, especially if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

That’s where graffiti photography legend Martha Cooper comes in. Shooting the origins of hip-hop and graffiti cultures since the late 1970s in New York City, and later all over the world, Cooper’s well-trained eyes know how to recognize deft sticker art. Here then is a collection of more than 200 photographs of some of Cooper’s favorite handmade postal stickers from around the world, done by some of the scene’s better-known artists and the anonymous.

Cooper has compiled a collection of photographs shot in numerous cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tokyo, Berlin and Amsterdam, featuring postal-sticker art created by FAUST, STAIN, C.DAMAGE, GET2, COSBE and many more.

Going Postal documents how an old-school method has burgeoned into another rich facet of the world’s graffiti cultures.

I have a few doo-dads in this show at the end of the month...

If yer around NYC this month... check it out it will be awesome.
