[Nettime-ro] Negotiated Localities


Special Art Exhibition on Sustainability and Locality

A special exhibition opens Friday, November 17th, and runs through
January 5th, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Betty
Rymer Gallery.

Negotiated Localities

Reception: Friday, November 17, 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. with artists'
discussion at 4:00 p.m. and curator remarks at 6:30 p.m. Reception
will conclude with an Open Mic by Collective Inferno.

Curated by SAIC faculty members Cindy Coleman and Claire Pentecost in
conjunction with the November 19th Visiting Artists Program symposium,
this exhibition exposes the often unspoken questions behind the
related concepts of sustainability and locality, and the impact these
have on ecologically sensitive artistic practices.

Through this project, artists, designers, and writers demonstrate
their experiments in sustaining through art. Because the idea of
sustainability has achieved a wide, if increasingly opaque usage,
participants in this exhibit are encouraged to propose their own
definitions of sustainability through specific works or ongoing
projects. The curators embrace both straightforward and unexpected
approaches to putting the local and the sustainable into practice.

Participating artists and artists' collectives include Collective
Inferno (Irina Botea, Nikko Coleman, Odile Compagnon, Drea Howenstein,
Michael Holmes, Angela Lo, Jayve Montgomery, Britney Rutherford),
Earthscraper (Max Reinhardt and Simon Slater), Ellen Grimes, JAM, Adam
Reid Janusz, Material Exchange (Sara Black, Charles McGhee Hassrick,
and John Preus), Nance Klehm, Adelheid Mers, Jeroen Nelemans, Joy
Olson, SIMPARCH, Bruce M. Tharp and Stephanie Munson Tharp, Kyoung Ok
Yu, and Paper Chase 2006: A Collaborative Project Organized by
Merry-Beth Noble.
