Join us for a double serving of CAKE: \nFirst of all\, CAKE (The Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) is right around the corner. Gear up by creating your own CAKE-worthy comics at this month’s Drink & Draw. Comix artist and illustrator Chloë Perkis will be your guide to sequential arts by leading an evening of collaborative comic making via a good old-fashioned Comics Jam. Each guest will starts comic\, pass it to their neighbor for the next panel. \nThen\, head to the snack table to grab a slice of birthday cake. What could be sweeter? \nChloë Perkis is a visual artist whose work explores the notion of absurdity and focuses on the brutal nature of the world. Abject figures and textures arise as focus points in her illustrations as a means to document societal observations and exercise the artist’s autonomous vision\, while humor becomes the catalyst to demystify the grotesque and empower the vulnerable. \nDrink and Draw is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to drawing practices. There are no pretensions\, no prerequisites\, and newcomers are always welcome. Bring a sketchbook and basic drawing materials\, and invite your friends! Drink & Draw occurs the first Wednesday of every other month and features a special theme and a guest artist. Admission to Drink & Draw is a $10 suggested donation. The event is BYOB\, but we do have some wine and beer available with a donation.

Why are printers so excited to get artists working in other media\, often very disparate from flat ink on paper\, to publish prints? What do artists get from the experience? Meet artists Kelly Kaczynski and Jeroen Nelemans in conversation with artist and printer\, Stan Shellabarger. Shellabarger has been working side-by-side with artists at Spudnik Press to produce new bodies of print-based art work. The discussion will be moderated by curator and arts writer Kristin Korolowicz. \nPresenter Bios\nKristin Korolowicz is an independent curator and writer. She has worked previously at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden\, the Bass Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. As the Marjorie Susman Curatorial Fellow at the MCA Chicago\, she curated solo exhibitions of commissioned works by Gaylen Gerber and José Lerma. Her current independent curatorial research interests include investigating multivalent forms of collaboration. She recently curated an exhibition of Deb Sokolow’s work at The Stolbun Collection; developed in response to Joseph Grigely’s stewardship of the Hans-Ulrich Obrist archive at SAIC. Korolowicz earned her MA in Curatorial Practice from California College of the Arts. \n\nKelly Kaczynski is an artist working within the language of sculpture. \nSelected exhibitions include Peregrine Program\, IL; Ortega y Gasset Projects\, NY; Soap Factory\, MN; Comfort Station\, IL; Gahlberg Gallery\, IL; Threewalls\, IL; Hyde Park Art Center\, IL; Rowland Contemporary\, IL; University at Buffalo Art Gallery\, NY; Triple Candie\, NY; Islip Art Museum\, NY; Josee Bienvenu Gallery\, NY; DeCordova Museum\, MA; Boston Center for the Arts\, MA. \nPublic installations include projects with the Main Line Art Center\, Haverford\, PA; the Interfaith Center\, NY; Institute for Contemporary Art\, Boston and the Boston National Historic Parks\, MA; Boston Public Library\, MA. \nCuratorial projects include the 2014 exhibitions\, Roving Room at Habersham Mills\, GA and Virtually Physically Speaking at Columbia College\, Chicago\, IL and the 2011 exhibition Mouthing (a sentient limb) at the Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago\, IL. \nKaczynski received an MFA from Bard College\, NY and BA from The Evergreen State College\, WA. She has taught with Northwestern University\, University of Chicago\, University of Illinois\, Chicago\, University of Pennsylvania and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. Kaczynski is currently a Lecturer with the School of the Art Institute\, Chicago\, IL. \n\nJeroen Nelemans\, born in the Netherlands\, currently resides in Chicago. Nelemans is interested in the construct of a digital image. In order to access a new set of contemporary notions related to sight and seeing\, he dissects the image as a physical entity. \nHis work has been exhibited at the MISSION gallery in Chicago; Aspect/Ratio gallery\, Chicago; the Fabric Workshop and Museum\, Philadelphia; the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Space\, Miami; the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Philadelphia; the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art\, Greece; Elmhurst Art Museum in Illinois; the Nice&Fit gallery\, Berlin and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts\, Grand Rapids. \nHis works has also been screened at the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Miami; the Banff Center\, Canada; Gallery 400\, Chicago\, as well as the Werkleitz Centre for Media Art\, Halle\, Germany; the Magmart International Video Art Festival\, Napoli; the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival\, Ireland and the Kortfilm festival\, Copenhagen as well as the 25th Festival Les Instant Video in Marseille France. \n\nStan Shellabarger‘s performances\, works on paper\, prints and artist books employ alternative drawing methods\, addressing the body and the Earth to create minimal abstract objects. He takes everyday activities — walking and writing\, sometimes breathing —to extreme measures in endurance-based performance work. The repetition of the activity leads to massive accumulations of marks\, recording discrete units of time and space that amplify traces humans leave on the Earth; repetition is necessary so that these extremely subtle marks emerge as visible artistic interventions. \nStan Shellabarger has work in the permanent collections of The Art Institute of Chicago\, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, The Baltimore Museum of Art\, The Minneapolis Institute of Art\, The National Gallery of Canada and the Newark Public Library. His work has been written about in Art in America\, Artforum.com\, The Chicago Tribune\, Art in Print\, Chicago Magazine and ArtSlant. His work has been shown at Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC) in Nice\, France; MCA Chicago; Contemporary Art Museum Raleigh\, North Carolina; Madison Museum of Contemporary Art\, Wisconsin; Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago; and he’s been invited to perform at the VOLTA show in Basel\, Switzerland; the Time-Based Art Festival in Portland\, Oregon; Macy’s downtown department store window during the Looptopia festival in Chicago; Millennium Park in Chicago; Illinois State University in Bloomington\, Illinois; The Suburban in Oak Park; and the Center of Contemporary Art in St. Louis. Shellabarger received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is represented by Western Exhibitions in Chicago and he lives and works in Chicago.

Twenty artists were each asked to produce new work in the form of a diptych that reflects their own current artistic practice in contrast with their earlier artistic aesthetics\, themes or processes. How does self-perception affect artistic creation? \nThis exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists from across the country\, many exhibiting for the first time in Chicago. Participants represent a broad range of artistic approaches and careers. This portfolio of prints utilizes many print processes including screenprinting\, lithography\, relief\, photographic processes\, and more. \nIn addition to the flat prints on paper\, the portfolio incorporates a decisive book arts component. Each portfolio is packaged with book binding supplies and instructions. Participating artist is charged with manipulating the prints to a unique drum leaf book\, each deciding how they prefer to sequence the images. This process highlights the role of personal interpretation\, narration\, and perspective. The “Where we have been\, before we go” exhibition features just one solution of how the book can be assembled. \nThe portfolio was organized in conjunction with the 2017 Southern Graphics International Conference in Atlanta\, Georgia. The drum leaf book will be donated to Cornell Universities’ Fine Arts Library as a book available for checkout through their new book arts collection program. \nWhere we have been\, before we go will kick-off with a Gallery Talk at 6:00 p.m. on June 16th\, followed by the Opening Reception. The exhibition runs through August 5\, 2017. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday\, noon to 5pm\, or by appointment. Where we have been\, before we go was selected by the Spudnik Press Member Exhibitions Committee. \nImage by Fred Hagstrom URL:https://www.spudnikpress.org/event/where-we-have-been-before-we-go-opening-reception-gallery-talk/ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.spudnikpress.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/01_Hagstrom_2016_for-Portfolio-WEB.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170617T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170617T180000 DTSTAMP:20260826T052133 CREATED:20170501T143602Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170530T184804Z UID:20200-1497697200-1497722400@www.spudnikpress.org SUMMARY:Pop-Up Print Sale @ Galerie F DESCRIPTION:Our members are mounting a one-day print sale and BBQ at this Logan Square haven for print collectors. The event is free\, but bring $ for art\, burgers and brats. \nLocated in Chicago’s historic Logan Square neighborhood\,Galerie F specializes in silkscreen gig posters\, art prints and street art.
