During the pandemic\, and mass movements for revolution\, this exhibition asks: What kinds of physical and relational structures will we need\, or need to build\, in order to survive? How will the warmth and softness of our bodies guide us? \nIn Audre Lorde’s 1978 essay “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic As Power\,” she defines the erotic as “…a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which\, once we have experienced it\, we know we can aspire.” She goes on to write: “In touch with the erotic\, I become less willing to accept powerlessness\, or those other supplied states of being which are not native to me\, such as resignation\, despair\, self-effacement\, depression\, self-denial.” \nView Full Press Release\n\nShelter In The Speculative will be on view through January 6\, 2020 at Spudnik Press\, 1821 W. Hubbard Street\, Suite 302\, Chicago\, IL 60622.\nImage Credit\, clockwise from top left:\n\nYasaman Moussavi\, Revelation 2\, 2019\, handmade paper and screenprint (detail)\nKianni Pleasant-Bey\, Fever Dream\, 2019\, mixed media (detail)\nJoshi Radin\, Cardboard Record 006\, 2020\, monotype (detail)\nTeresita Carson Valdez\, A Novena for the Plague\, 2019\, screenprint\, silk\, dye discharge (detail)\nSam Hensley\, Little Like Yourself\, 2019\, animatronic sculpture and zine (detail)\nMiller & Shellebarger\, Untitled 2\, 2019\, pressure print\nDon Widmer\, Darkness and Light: Words of Etty Hillesum\, 2020\, artist book (detail)

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw [VIRTUAL]: Hearing Hands with Robert Stokowy
DESCRIPTION:Guest Artist: Robert Stokowy\nHow can a drawing convey a sound?\nHow might a drawing double as a score for music?\nHow can the act of listening open up new creativity in your art practice? \nRobert Stokowy invites you to slow down and tune in to your auditory imagination\, to inspire unexpected drawings based on sound art he will share with us. We will also look at contemporary artists who create visual art based on sound\, and vice versa. Starting with recordings from the medieval city of Malta\, Robert will inspire us with a rich collection of abstract and ambient sounds\, tones\, and textures from his own field recordings. Analog sound effects will include a live composition he will mix live for us during the event. \nRobert believes that deep listening can be a clarifying and generative part of the artistic practice\, and that we all have an intuitive ability to make creative associations between sounds and images. By breaking a soundscape down into simple shapes\, lines\, textures\, and relationships\, we can open up a new visual vocabulary. Your drawings might range from minimalist abstract doodling\, to complex pattern making\, to a setting or landscape to match the soundtrack.  \nZoom Meeting ID: 94184301278\nSuggested Materials\n\nyour favorite things to draw with\nheadphones (for hearing binaural sounds in the recordings)\n\n\nDrink & Draw [Virtual] is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to staying creative from home. There are no pretensions and newcomers are always welcome\, so invite your friends to join!
