SUMMARY:Drink & Draw: February 2014—Poster Illustration
DESCRIPTION:Combine bold illustrations with hand lettering to create poster concepts. With the help of special host\, Red Riley of Twin Peaks Press\, guests will warm up by experimenting with typography\, color\, and mark making.

Twin Peaks Press focuses on\, but is not limited to\, hand-drawn/hand-printed Gig Posters and Fine Art Screen printing. \nDrink and Draw is a low-key event devoted to drawing practices.

SUMMARY:Graphic Notation 101: Ten x Ten 2015 Kick Off
DESCRIPTION:Ten x Ten 2015 kicks off Sunday\, February 8 with a free afternoon lecture\, Graphic Notation 101 featuring Jordan Martins and Katherine Young\, at Spudnik Press Cooperative. The artists and musicians of Ten x Ten 2015 will also be in attendance. \nSince the early 20th century\, artists have found inspiration in the pure abstraction of instrumental music. There has been a rich history of synaesthetic approaches to relating color to timbre and tonality in both scientific and highly subjective ways. More recently\, music notation incorporating graphic elements outside of the traditional staff have served as a way to travel the territory between improvisation\, chance operations\, and non-traditional composition while negotiating the balance between the interpretive power of the performer and the single-sourced autonomy of the composer. With the help of composer and bassoonist Katherine Young and visual artist and musician Jordan Martins\, Graphic Notation 101 will explore the history of some of these practices as well as underline the compositional and interpretive techniques as play.This is the first of four opportunities to experience the eight-month process of creating the next Ten x Ten. Following the lecture\, the Ten x Ten 2015 artists and musicians will meet their collaborators and begin developing their contribution to the project. \nPlease join the Ten x Ten mailing list to hear updates as the project develops over the course of the year and visit tenxtenchicago.com for weekly blog updates.

SUMMARY:Improvised Music Series: Ten x Ten Working Performance
DESCRIPTION:The long-running Improvised Music Series from Elastic Arts makes a guest appearance at Constellation as part of Ten x Ten 2015’s eight-month production pairing ten musicians with ten visual artists to create collaborative recordings and fine art prints. The Improvised Music Series: Working Performance is a rare opportunity for the public to witness the creative and collaborative process as it happens. Relying heavily on improvisation\, each musician-artist pair will workshop their ideas and experiment with how to translate ideas from sound to image\, and vice versa. Each musician will direct the ensemble as they develop their compositions. At the same time\, the audience will be able to watch projections of the artists visually responding and refining their designs in real time. \nTen x Ten is a collaborative project between visual artists and musicians under the curatorial guidance of three distinct Chicago organizations: Elastic Arts\, Homeroom\, and Spudnik Press. Now in it’s fourth iteration\, the project has expanded to include four innovative events. With Elastic Arts Foundation as guest curator\, the project highlights the genre of jazz and investigates how artists across media interpret improvisation. Curators Dave Rempis and Paul Giallorenzo have selected ten musicians to create an ensemble that will perform the new works commissioned through this project. Each musician will compose one track\, each created in partnership with a visual artist. Homeroom curator Colin Palombi has invited ten visual artists to design a corresponding 18” x 18” artwork that will be produced in an edition of ten hand printed serigraphs. A limited edition catalog of the prints will be paired with the vinyl record and distributed as a collectable compilation. \n  \nThe Ten x Ten 2015 participants are:\nVisual Artists\nSalvador Andrade Arévalo\nJerome Bryerton\nUriel Correa\nRob Funderburk\nTrevor Goosen\nAndrew Holmquist\nHannah Ireland\nVesna Jovanovic\nAlexander Stewart\nCynthia Weiss \nMusicians\nJosh Berman\nPaul Giallorenzo\nAnton Hatwich\nKeefe Jackson\nPeter Maunu\nEli Namay\nRyan Packard\nCameron Pfiffner\nJason Stein\nPhil Sudderberg \nPlease join the Ten x Ten mailing list to hear updates as the project develops over the course of the year and visit tenxtenchicago.com for weekly blog updates.

SUMMARY:2015 Hashbrown Chili Cook-Off
DESCRIPTION:Event Registration Online for The 2015 Hashbrown Chili Cook-Off powered by Eventbrite\n\nOnce a year\, a dozen unique contributors to Chicago’s innovative cultural landscape come together under Spudnik’s roof for food\, games\, celebration\, and healthy competition.\nThe Hashbrown brings a democratic “pay-it-forward” approach to fundraising. Organizations who place first through third each receive a cash prize. Spudnik Press Cooperative\, which presents The Hashbrown\, invites organizations that work in many different fields and neighborhoods. “Directly or indirectly\, these organizations support and contribute to each other’s missions. By working together\, we create a more vibrant city\,” says Angee Lennard\, Spudnik Press Founder and Executive Director. \nThis year’s competition\, taking place on February 28th at 6:00pm in the Hubbard Street Lofts\, invites back “2014 Best Chili” winner Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) to defend its title as well as Corner Farm\, who placed second.

Eyeworks Animation Festival focuses on abstract animation and unconventional character animation and occurs every November. While many of the participants are relatively new organizations\, The Hashbrown also welcomes two well-established organizations known for their exhibitions and innovative programming: Chicago Art Department and Woman Made Gallery. \nGuests are able to taste as many chilis as they desire\, then vote for their favorite recipe. Admission starts at $10 and includes 4 tasting tickets. The VIP package is $22 and includes 5 tasting tickets\, a drink\, and entry in the drawing. The Royalty Package covers two VIP passes\, and a special edition tote bag for just $65! Tickets may be purchased at spudnikpress.org. \nNew in 2015\, The Hashbrown will include dessert tastings from area restaurants\, a drawing\, and printmaking-themed carnival games.

All beverages are provided by Artisanal Imports\, an importer of specialty beers and spirits from England\, Germany\, Belgium and beyond. \nWhile Spudnik Press is unable to provide the details of what secret ingredients might find their way into tasting cups on February 28th\, past chilis have featured candied bacon\, chocolate\, buffalo meat\, and even actual hash browns. \nContestants:\nCAKE\nChicago Art Department\nCorner Farm\nEyeworks Animation Festival\nHomeroom\nLatitude Chicago\nMAKE Magazine\nNorth Branch Projects\nThe Perch\nThe WasteShed\nWoman Made Gallery\n\n\nPricing Details:\nGeneral Admission: $10\nIncludes 4 tasting tickets. \nVIP Package: $22\nIncludes 5 tasting tickets\, a free drink\, and a golden spoon.
