SUMMARY:Drink & Draw April 2018: Magical Creatures with Lauren Levato Coyne
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our April Drink & Draw as we take some of the stress out of observational drawing by using taxidermy animals as a point of departure. Our guest artist is Lauren Levato Coyne\, known for her fairytale-like drawings that combine simple figurative line renderings with lush illustrations of creatures. She will lead light-hearted drawing activities inspired by her own artistic practice and interest in blurring reality and non-reality. We’ll provide an array of still life props\, including taxidermy specimen\, for inspiration. By adding a bit of surrealism and magical flare\, our Drink & Draw guests will be able to create their own mystical creatures! \nLauren Levato Coyne is a Chicago-based artist and writer. She was trained at the School of Representational Art in Chicago and studied privately with Steven Assael in NYC. Levato Coyne also holds a degree in Professional Writing from Purdue University and another in Political Journalism from Georgetown University. She regularly contributes art essays and has published several collections of poetry\, and is represented by Aron Packer Projects in Chicago. \nSpudnik Press would like to extend a special thank you to member Robert Kelsey and to our friends at Woolly Mammoth Antiques & Oddities for lending us some of their specimen for this drawing session. Woolly Mammoth is a curiosity cabinet of odd\, amusing and eclectic items and conveniently located at 1513 W. Foster Ave.\, near Clark. \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. \nImage Credit: Lauren Levato Coyne\, Quickening\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Gallery Hours with Yasaman Moussavi
DESCRIPTION:Please join artist Yasaman Moussavi during the final gallery hours of her solo exhibition Roots at Spudnik Press Cooperative and her culminating public program as our 2017 Resident Artist. \nMoussavi’s personal and intimate artwork consists of etchings and handmade paper. Through the process of layering and reconstructing handmade papers\, she fuses the intricate and arresting forms found in her etchings with dynamic natural forms. Her work explores the ties between individual and environment\, unearthing emotions\, associations\, and memories that one attaches to physical spaces to discover the abiding bond between nature and us. \nThroughout the afternoon\, Moussavi will be demonstrating the process she has developed to make her handmade paper. Guests may even try their hand at producing their own paper from pulp and embedded materials. \nImage Credit: Yasaman Moussavi\, Untitled\, 2018 (detail)

SUMMARY:Entre Rios y Montañas | Opening Reception & Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Entre Rios y Montañas (Between Rivers and Mountains)\, a solo exhibition featuring new work by Chicago-based artist Jonathan Herrera. \nThe work featured in Entre Rios y Montañas stems from Herrera’s deep interest and continued investigation of the relationships between collective memory and historical instances of state-sponsored violence and trauma inflicted on politicized bodies. Often the victims of these crimes\, or rather their bodies that disappear\, leave behind stories not in words but in gesture. Trails of clothing are found in the deserts between borders as they get stuck on fences with barbed wire or wash up onto shores of beaches. These garments are sometimes attached to lifeless bodies while others manage to claim autonomy from the flesh. \nThrough these collographs\, akin to rubbings\, Herrera explores the connection between clothing and the body\, as well as the relationship between forensic evidence and items of personal significance. By employing this print-based process\, Herrera partakes in an act of remembrance as he produces tracings and impression of clothing left behind. His harsh\, and almost violent\, treatment of the objects carries forth into the artwork’s final presentation. Ultimately\, the objects of clothing rendered in Herrera’s work are declarations unto themselves\, left behind by bodies to evoke lived experiences. \nJonathan Herrera is a print-based studio artist and teacher from Chicago\, IL. He holds a BFA from the Minneapolis College in Art and Design. Through his studio practice and teaching philosophy\, Herrera engages multiple facets of place-making and thinking in order to express ideas through concept building\, process\, and materials. He constantly works to create accessibility in both art and education by connecting his studio work\, public work\, and community engagement. Herrera has recently exhibited work at the Minnesota Museum of American Art\, The Soap Factory (Minneapolis\, MN)\, and Concordia Gallery (St. Paul\, MN). \nEntre Rios y Montañas will be on view at The Annex at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard St.\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622\, April 27\, 2018 through June 9\, 2018. \nImage: Jonathan Herrera\, Untitled\, 2017 (detail).
