Art Letter (5/16/08)

There are three excellent exhibits opening tonight. At Kasia Kay, an artist from China is showing some rather fun and intelligent photographs. I remember being in China maybe 8 years ago and visiting a handful of successful artists. I was impressed by the lack of vision and a desire to provide whatever they thought capitalism would spend money on. It felt like a scam. Since then so much of the Chinese art that appears at auction and sells for ridiculous sums feels exactly the same way – soulless, thoughtless and vapid. Not so with the art that I see at Walsh Gallery on not so for Maleonn at Kasia Kay. The art is fresh, obviously from somewhere else, considered and charming.

Joseph Kohnke in a two - person show at International Museum of Surgical Science Anatomy, Chicago.

Jonathan Gabel, "Warsong: Iliad Cenotaphs" and Joseph Kohnke, "Marked".
Free, public reception for the artists: Friday, Feb. 1, 5 to 8 pm Exhibitions run through February 1 through April 18, 2008

"Warsong: Iliad Cenotaphs" comprises painted wood sculptures representing the negative space of fatal wounds suffered by warriors in Homer's Iliad. Throughout the poem, more than 250 warriors are introduced only to be slaughtered on the battleground, the description of their injuries so precise that Gabel has been able to create detailed anatomical models of the flesh displaced by spears and arrows.

"Marked" consists of a device that continuously scans a conveyer belt of skin images from which Kohnke has excised every marking. Upon registering a void in the stream of images, the pneumatic mechanism triggers a light representing the marking's original location on a human body or a fawn's.

Of That Which Remains
Curated by Elke Gruhn and Katharina Klara Jung

What remains when something disappears? The memory holds more than we realize. It is creative and isn’t reduced to mere stimulus and information. It processes and stores information and through use of all its senses and feeling judgement, communication arises. Memories do not always refer back to experience alone, but also develops through books, films, and the narratives of others…
What remains then? Stories, traces, echoes, shadows and sometimes, something new…

Intelligent Design Project III review in Time Out Chicago

Kim Dorland participates in "Out Behind the Shed," at Richard A and
Rissa W. Grossman Gallery, Lafayette College, Easton, PA, from November
12--December 22, 2007.

The Museum of New Art presents intelligent design project.

D. Dominick Lombardi and Michael Zansky initiated this intelligent design project. The limited scheduled sites are Silvermine Guild Arts Center in New Canaan, CT, the Museum of New Art in Pontiac, MI, and Kasia Kay Art Projects in Chicago, IL.

Ultra Violet presents a HIGH VOLTAGE VISIONARY INSTALLATION
entitled “Till Death Do Us Part,” featuring: THE ELECTRIC LOVESEAT.
On view during Warhol: Factory Now exhibition
September 7 – October 6, 2007
Opening reception: Friday, September 7, 2007, 6-9 pm

This unique apparatus is a judgment seat inspired by sweetheart-settee chairs (18th and 19th century romantic courtship chairs) as well as Andy Warhol’s poignant silkscreen, depicting Sing Sing’s electric chair.

Neo-Pop artist, ULTRA VIOLET’S “TWIN ELECTRIC CHAIR” invention entices our examination of current ROMANTIC trends as well as current CORRECTIONAL SYSTEMS’ capital punishment policies.
 
ULTRA VIOLET creates THE ELECTRIC LOVESEAT, which questions the dichotomous duality/opposition of contemporary romance/ love in direct correlation to the “spider/fly” relationship of the executioner /executed.

Ultra Violet’s electronic “sweetheart-settee” dares us to consider whether it would be more convivial to DIE HAVING “EYE-TO-EYE” CONTACT with ANOTHER, hopefully a lover?   Ultra Violet evokes a divine exhortation, “Thou Shall Not Kill!”

Does GOD (AUTHOR OF LIFE) authorize men to induce death upon their fellow man?
Have we grown so alienated to the feeling of love, be it romantic love or redemptive love that we cannot imagine love as the ultimate redemption of the condemned?

Death and resurrection are a constant paradigm hovering over the human soul.  For example, both LOVE and DEATH are apparent in the marriage vow, “To love and to cherish, til death do us part.”  Hence, the obvious “love and death connection” signifies the saving grace of love and the saving grace of the condemned, the yin and the yang, the 2 sides of the chair, the opposition in all things, the duality, the binary contraposition, which simultaneously reveals one and the same proposition.

Ultra Violet.

Notions of Wilderness exhibition is extended till August 10.

There are two debuts added for the duration of Art Dealers Association of Chicago(CADA)'s VISION 12: "Passive Erschliessung" by (art)n and "Hastabryot" by Joseph Kohnke.

On Saturday, July 28, from 12-4, the gallery will feature Vaughn Elizabeth Bell with her interactive work: Pocket Biosphere Adoption. Each of us would like to have our own little piece of earth. With a pocket biosphere, you can take your own little mini-wilderness everywhere. Pocket Biospheres are available for adoption in a performance created by Vaughn Bell. Each tiny biosphere is full of mosses and small organisms. Participants sign an adoption form, co-signed by the artist, stating that they will take responsibility for the biosphere. They then become the owners of their own pocket biosphere along with documents.
