SUMMARY:Drink & Draw August 2019: Elevated Every Day Objects
DESCRIPTION:What simple rituals guide your day? How do everyday objects affect how you move through the world?  For guest artist Atlan Arceo-Witzl\, mundane objects and small events from everyday life are elevated through the ritual of daily drawing. \nAtlan will help participants build a visual interpretation of an object\, idol\, or passion of your choosing.  Make a visual record of your daily routines through making a commemorative poster inspired by the bold bright bold shapes and colors of hand-painted signs in grocery ads. Bring a small object you’d like pay homage to\, or allow yourself to be inspired by the everyday objects we carry with us–pens\, ear buds\, receipts\, or whatever oddment have been bouncing around your book bag. \nAbout the artist:  Atlan Arceo-Witzl is a Mexican-American visual artist and creator whose work is concerned with everyday rituals\, icons\, symbols\, objects\, and language. He is a recent graduate of Skidmore College with a BS in Studio Art\, concentrating in relief printmaking\, sculpture and drawing. He lives outside of Chicago in Oak Park\, IL pursuing a career in the arts and enjoying the fascinating human game of communication. He is an alumnus of the Spudnik Press Fellowship Program. \nDrink & 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 $15 suggested donation. The event is BYOB\, but we do have some wine and beer available with a donation. \n

SUMMARY:Puppets in Progress with Rough House!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a collaborative event with Rough House on Tuesday\, August 13th from 7-9 pm! \nRough House is a multidisciplinary organization whose aim is to connect communities through art. They celebrate uniqueness through weirdness and foster connection through the even weirder. Together with Rough House\, we will be merging minds about printing\, visual art\, and performing objects! \nPuppets in Progress (PIPs) is a quarterly\, informal forum for artists and puppeteers of any level of experience to bring fledgling puppet experiments to a non-judgmental audience for feedback and support. Bring whatever you’re working on and get encouragement and feedback from other Chicago puppet-folks! \nEveryone is welcome: whether you are new to puppetry or a veteran with a new project; whether you are a dancer\, comics artist\, performance poet\, teacher\, lifeguard\, or an engineer just curious about what puppetry looks like today! Bring a project\, no matter how *Rough*\, or just come for the conversation. There will be snacks provided and many supportive humans to meet!

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Spudnik Press Resident Artist João Oliveira and Jessica Cochran
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of informal conversation with resident artist João Oliveira and writer and curator Jessica Cochran\, as they discuss João’s residency project and his participation in the international artist exchange program Close to There < > Perto de Lá. \n“Little amusements: i’m going to love you\, hold you\, squeeze you\, until you’re in tiny pieces is the result of the impression of plastic animals bodies\, torn apart by the same method that I used as a child (and experimental medical coroner). after being misplaced and shredded\, these animals undergo a heating process\, developed by me to turn them into two-dimensional matrices that I print with the same procedures traditionally used on engraving\, resulting in a kind of graphic stain; a unique mark of violence that links the author to his act.” \n–João Oliveira\, 2019 \nJoão Oliveira is a visual artist with a BA in Visual Arts from the Universidade Federal da Bahia (2011)\, and a Master’s in Creative Process in Visual Arts from the same university (2017). He is trained in lithography and metal engraving through the Workshops at the Museum of Modern Art of Bahia (MAM-BA). He works on the encounter of metal engraving with other supports\, appropriating personal experience in order to create works with a forged autobiographical nature\, obtained through small rituals of self-fiction. \nNamed a “curator to watch” by Chicago Magazine in 2013\, Jessica Cochran has curated exhibitions for numerous venues and groups\, including the Contemporary Arts Council\, School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, The Franklin\, What it Is\, the MDW art fair and Center for Book Arts in New York. For over seven years\, I was a curator in academic galleries at Columbia College Chicago and Dominican University; in 2014 she was a participating fellow at the Association of Academic Museums and Galleries Leadership Institute at Northwestern University. She has developed innovative public programming as Director of Marketing and Programs at Art Chicago and NEXT: The Invitational Exhibition of Emerging Art\, and organized the inaugural Converge Chicago: Contemporary Curators Forums.  Jessica also served on the board at Spudnik Press 2013-17. \nClose to There < > Perto de Lá is an international artist exchange project between Comfort Station (Chicago\, USA) and Projeto Ativa (Salvador\, Brazil)\, in collaboration with Harmonipan (Mexico City\, Salvador)\, made possible by the MacArthur Foundation International Connections Fund. By bringing members of these two artistic communities in proximity with one another\, this project aims to gestate long-term artistic collaborations between the participants\, share arts-organizing models from their respective socio-political-artistic contexts\, and encourage creative discourse around ideas such as the African Diaspora and contemporary Latinx/Latin American identities. \nThe exchange will begin with a multi-disciplinary group of Salvador-based artists visiting Chicago August 9th – 29th 2019\, carrying out a variety of programs\, performances\, and research through Comfort Station and its partner spaces across the city. In February of 2020\, a group of Chicago-based artists will in turn visit Salvador to engage with the city’s creative landscape via Projeto Ativa’s network of artists and cultural institutions. \nImage: Coma meu coração sem pena\, enquanto é tempo\, João Oliveira\, 2012.
