										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Feb 22nd, Winter Sounds 2025 continues its second installation of the series at Compound Yellow. The performers and the listeners will be immersed in sound with special Quadraphonic Performances! The performers will be preparing their pieces to have sonic elements be dynamically thrown around the room to 4 different speakers, which will create a unique sonic spatial experience. Please come with curiosity! The performers will be located in the center of the space so we encourage listeners to move around during the performances, as every spot will provide a slightly different aural picture. Hope to see you there!</p>
<p>Playing on Feb 22nd will be:</p>
<p>Whitney Johnson</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister</p>
<p>Rs Masters</p>
<p>Open Seki</p>
<p>Whitney Johnson:</p>
<p>For more than 15 years, the music of violist, keyboardist, and singer Whitney Johnson has been a powerful through line connecting various local underground scenes. Since 2009 she’s been developing the outstanding solo project Matchess; she’s been a member of a dizzying number of groups, including the 1900s, Verma, and Circuit des Yeux; and she’s launched collaborative projects such as Damiana, a duo with Natalie Chami, aka TALsounds. Early in March, she performed as part of the first live show by yet another noteworthy new group, Who Is the Witness?, whose lineup also includes Tim Kinsella, Jenny Pulse, and percussionist Jon Mueller.</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister:</p>
<p>Donny is an Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using modular synthesizers, guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing. His recent solo work encompasses elements of minimalist soundscapes intersected with abstract guestural movements. In addition to his solo work he currently collaborates with Jamie Levinson and Theo Katsaounis as The Shape Of. Prior to moving to Oak Park, Donny had been a long-standing member of the Chicago and Midwest rock and improvised scenes, working with A Tundra, Judson Claiborne, Early Day Miners, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Toby Summerfield, Ryan Packard, Jamie Branch, Catherine Young and Bill McKay.</p>
<p>Rs Masters:</p>
<p>Rs Masters (Teddy Schrishuhn) is a Chicago-based ambient and experimental musician. Live performances and studio recordings often utilize synthesized sounds with nature-based field recordings, samples from the Library of Congress, live terrestrial radio and pedal-processed foley instruments.</p>
<p>A midwestern native plant enthusiast and gardener, Rs Masters draws inspiration from lives lived by the local and migratory pollinators and birds often lost in the juxtaposition of natural habitats in urban environments.</p>
<p>Rs Masters is a founding member Kayaks Collective (a Chicago-based tape label and creative collective)</p>
<p>Open Seki:</p>
<p>Open Seki is the newly formed collaboration of John Biggers and Nathan Tucker. For their first ever set—with the help of various electronics, lapsteel, and mixing board manipulation—the goal is a full-spectrum exploration of spatial and melodic themes.</p>
<p>Nathan Tucker: For a main vocation, a long career in applied textiles has become a great influence on his linear compositions, with a special focus on reimagining color palettes and textures. (Previous releases on Skam, Consumers Research &amp; Development, Plus Tapes, Wobblyhead, Lumpen, Johann&#8217;s Face)</p>
<p>John Biggers: A professor and filmmaker from Nashville, KY with an unhealthy obsession with oscillations and CB pedals. Loves mohair and sequins.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2025/02/winter-sounds-4/">Winter Sounds</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this lively new body of work by Vesna Jovanovic, fleshy abstract forms rejoice in the buffoonery of carnival antics while adorned in sparklers, butt plugs, and candy. The surfaces of Jovanovic’s paintings alternate from glossy to matte, deep to flat, in ways that require a bodily presence for their observation. As with her past work, Jovanovic begins with chance operations. By intuitively pouring ink on paper (in this case Yupo), she encounters accidental motifs that guide the next decision in her process. This new work is influenced by historical accounts of French medieval carnivals and various other collective events such as Saturnalia, Holi, and Candy Kid Raves, with an emphasis on carnivalesque humor and joy.</p>
<p>About the artist:</p>
<p>Vesna Jovanovic is a Chicago-based artist whose work focuses on bodily topics such as posthumanism, biopolitics, and embodied phenomenology. She is a recipient of numerous residency fellowships including The Studios MASS MoCA, Santa Fe Art Institute, Ucross Foundation, VCCA France, and a long-term studio residency at the International Museum of Surgical Science. Her artwork has been exhibited widely and is included in permanent collections at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, International Museum of Surgical Science, and the Koehnline Museum of Art. Jovanovic has worked in various disciplines over the course of her career, including ceramics, chemistry, and photography, and is currently concentrating on painting and drawing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wintersounds 2025:</p>
<p>Wintersounds in 2025 kicks off with a special fundraiser for future programming at Compound Yellow. Tickets start at $25 (more if you are able).</p>
<p>Our goal this year is to raise $7,200 to cover the costs of paying musicians and providing refreshments at each of 12 very special events curated by local musicians/organisers featuring sound, experimental compositions, dance and movement, light, video projections, visual art and more in 2025! We will announce the list of curators at the event itself and be selling season tickets at a discounted rate of $120 for all 12 events, that is $10 per event! Pay it forward and help us make Side Yard Sounds 2025 the best ever!</p>
<p>This season at Wintersounds will be special one! The performers and the listeners will be immersed in sound with special Quadraphonic Performances! The performers will be preparing their pieces to have sonic elements be dynamically thrown around the room to 4 different speakers, which will create a unique sonic spatial experience. Please come with curiosity! The performers will be located in the center of the space so we encourage listeners to move around during the performances, as every spot will provide a slightly different aural picture. Hope to see you there!</p>
<p>Playing on Jan 18th will be:</p>
<p>The Shape Of (Mahlmeister, Katsaounis, Levinson)</p>
<p>Paige Alice Naylor</p>
<p>Wavefiler</p>
<p>Kim Nucci</p>
<p>Musician Bios:</p>
<p>The Shape Of:</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister and Theo Katsaounis started playing music together around 2004 in the avant-rock Chicago band, A Tundra. They weren&#8217;t interested in all of the fame and success so they decided to disband and mingle with other bands like Early Day Miners, Joan Of Arc, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Aitis Band, Dead Rider, Judson Claiborne, Bora Bora, and many more. Donny and Theo continued to play and skateboard together over the years as Shred Aquarium and various improvised projects, but more recently they decided it was time to shape up. As a result, they started the ever transforming &#8216;The Shape Of&#8230;&#8217; and have continue to grow. They have released two records under this moniker; the most recent this fall on Tone Deaf Records. They will be joined by drummer/percussionist/synthesist extroardinarie, Jamie Levinson.</p>
<p>Paige Alice Naylor:</p>
<p>Paige Alice Naylor is a Chicago-based experimental vocalist, sound artist and educator. Through sound-making and performance, she investigates time, perception, the breakdown of language, themes of death, and acoustic ecology. Her direct and interpersonal approach creates live sonic environments which feel vulnerable and intimate. Her work has been featured in The Wire, National Public Radio, Longform Editions, Newcity Art, Chicago Reader, surgeryradio, and WHURK Magazine, among others.</p>
<p>Wavefiler:</p>
<p>Milwaukee, WI area artist, Wavefiler aka Steve Zydek, uses synthesizer hardware, tape recorders and computer-aided composition methods to create electronic music that is experimental, ambient and sometimes beat-driven. Sonic explorations range from tape-driven textures to repeating and evolving melodic figures. Wavefiler also focuses on developing synthesized sound designs to aid meditation and healing.</p>
<p>Kim Nucci:</p>
<p>Kim Nucci is an Oakland-based media artist, composer, and technologist. As a musician, they perform on electronics, modular synthesizer, and saxophone. As a visual and sound artist, they create interactive installations using architectural interventions, sculpture, arduino and other microcontrollers, idiosyncratic interactive design, painting and projections. They also VJ, and create generative and audio-reactive video art for live musical performance.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2025/01/winter-sound-benefit-for-side-yard-sounds-2025/">Winter Sound Benefit for Side Yard Sounds 2025!</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Compound Yellow<br />
244 Lake St., Oak Park</p>
<p>Chat Market is a collaborative duo of two artists who are frequently mistaken for poets or writers, sometimes sound artists. Through their collective activities Chat Market frequently encourages this misidentification (though some of it is just you). Chat Market began life as a Québecois shibboleth in Chicago, and have been innovating text-based workarounds to the gig economy, surveillance capitalism, social media, and their attendant realities since roughly 2018. Chat Market rarely asks for permission. Need the talk? Pull up to Chat Market.</p>

<p>Lee Kathryn Hodge is visual artist and writer whose work has appeared or is forthcoming in Granta, TriQuarterly, Puerto del Sol, Black Warrior Review, Thrush, Heavy Feather Review, Euphony, Oberon, After Hours, Mouth and The Tulane Review. She has received support from the de Kooning Foundation, the Ragdale Colony, and Luminarts where she was named a 2023 Creative Writing Fellow.</p>
<p>Nathanael Jones is a Canadian writer and artist currently based in Montreal. He holds degrees from NSCAD University (BFA 2014) and SAIC (MFA 2017). His debut poetry collection, Aqueous, is out now through The Porcupine&#8217;s Quill (2024).</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2025/01/chat-market-open-studio-2/">Chat Market: Open Studio</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>KVL, or KIRCH/VAN/LUX, is the improvising trio of Quin Kirchner (drums, sampler, electronics), Daniel Van Duerm (keyboards, electronics) &amp; Matthew Lux (bass, electronics).</p>
<p>Together, they create futuristic groove landscapes via the tradition of collective exploration. Drawing from their wide range of musical influences, including free jazz, electronic music, rock, funk &amp; hip hop, KVL aims to create a music that is at once immediate &amp; referential. They routinely enter unknown territory, exploring the endless realms of what could be possible in experimental improvisation, while never leaving the beat too far out of reach. Conjuring pulses, drones, scattering soundscapes &amp; heavy groove-zones, KVL is a power trio from the future.</p>
<p>Volume 2 is released 4/21/23 on Astral Spirits/Spacetone Recordings</p>

<p class=""><strong><em>Love</em></strong><em> (a short reading by Sara Zalek) followed by </em><strong><em>Tiny Precious Objects</em></strong><em>,</em> a work in progress reflection by Christine Shallenberg and Aurora Tabar on the exuberance and banality of motherhood, inspired by fierce mama bears, mouthbrooding fish, and dedicated sand grouse. There will be two solo musical sets by Mabel Kwan and Kim Nucci.</p>
<p class=""><em>Tiny Precious Objects</em> is a work in progress reflection on the exuberance and banality of motherhood. We, Christine and Aurora, are two mother artists trying to understand ourselves and the altered state of our lives. We take inspiration from fierce mama bears, mouthbrooding fish, and dedicated sand grouse.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Christine Shallenberg</strong> is a teaching artist and mom. Her work ranges in mode from electronic textiles to light and sound installations to participatory choreographies for audiences (and sometimes her child). Her long-time collaboration with Jenn Cooper, JCSpaceRadio, engaged in a casually critical dialogue with frequencies through workshops, performances and interactive installations. Her work has been seen at Links Hall, High Concept Laboratories, Experimental Sound Studio, Hume Gallery, Tritriangle and No Nation in Chicago, as well as Movement Research, Galapagos Art Center, Williamsburg Arts Nexus, and Triskelion Arts in NYC. She also worked as the Lighting Designer for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company for whom she designed Second Hand, Antic Meet, Nearly 902 and more than 30 unique Event performances seen around the world. She continues to design for performance with Every house has a door.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Aurora Tabar</strong> is a performing artist, occupational therapist, and multi-tasking mom. Her professional and creative practices examine the process of healing and the potential for transformation. Most recently Aurora had the pleasure of collaborating with members of WATCHTOWER (Rosé Hernandez, Ginger Krebs, Bryan Saner, and Sara Zalek) during a residency at Roman Susan Gallery. Aurora has presented solo and collaborative performances across Chicago including at Elastic Arts Foundation, Prop Theater, Links Hall, and High Concept Laboratories. As a special educator, Aurora is committed to inclusion and helping students build functional skills that they can carry into the future. She lives on the west side of Chicago with her partner, two adorable kiddos, and a cohort of cats.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Kim Nucci </strong>is an Oakland/Chicago-based multimedia artist, composer / improviser, and technologist, performing on saxophones, electronics, voice, and live projection. Nucci&#8217;s research interests explore the pedestrian cybernetic body, critically examining our relationship with technology and with our instruments. Their performance practice is invested in ritualism and trance states in improvisation. They hold an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media, and an MA in Music Composition from Mills College, and a BA in Visual Arts and Music Composition from Bennington College. They have been presented by SFMOMA, Gray Area, Oberlin College, Elastic Arts, Tritriangle, BabyCastles, CCRMA (Stanford), ODC Theatre, Incline Gallery, The Jazzschool, The Center for New Music (C4NM), Dub Club LA at the Echoplex, and many DIY spaces across the US. They have been an artist in residence with ACRE Residency, Zero1, Paul Dresher Studios DEAR, and Counterpulse ARC Combustible residencies. Nucci is the Technical Director of Driven Arts Collective (DAC), head of ACRE Residency&#8217;s sound department, and an Organizer with Center for Concrete and Abstract Machines in Chicago.</p>

A native of Austin, Texas, Mabel received piano performance degrees from Rice University and Northern Illinois University. She is a 2017 3Arts Awardee, 2018 High Concept Labs Artist, and 2020 City of Chicago Esteemed Artist.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sara Zalek</strong> is a transdisciplinary artist, producer, and curator of events and curious objects. Rooted in physical investigations of trauma, resilience, and transformation, their work is intimate, raw, poetic.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jim Smestad | Photographer</p>
<p>(1929–2022)</p>
<p>From Worthington, Minnesota to Chicago, Illinois</p>
<p>Jim’s love of photography started as a high school freshman when he picked up his first “Baby Brownie” box camera. While still in high school he started working as a stringer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and The Worthington Globe. He enlisted in the Air Force during the Korean War and was part of a classified unit of photographers who provided documentary photography in Korea and Japan.</p>
<p>In 1958 Jim joined United Press International Chicago and was a staff photographer for 30 years until the closing of their photo department in 1989. Four of Jim’s iconic UPI photos are published in Picture This! The Inside Story and Classic Photos of UPI Newspictures. The exhibit reflects a collection of film images both from UPI and personal archives that reflect the everchanging range of assignments of a press photographer.</p>
<p>“Fast lenses, fast films are not always the answer, nor are two or three lights set-up here and there; especially when &#8212; sometimes &#8212; one light with a homemade remote switch can do wonders.” Jim Smestad 11/2/72</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/10/jim-smestad-a-celebration-of-his-life-through-his-work/">Jim Smestad: A Celebration of His Life Through His Work</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="">Carol Genetti &amp; Peter Maunu</p>
<p class=""><strong>Carol Genetti</strong> is a Chicago-based vocalist whose work encompasses sound and visual art media. Her practice is grounded in free improvisation, with a desire to unlock subconscious ideas and release unintended outcomes. Her vocal palette is primordial, existing in a space where “language” and “music” have yet to be formulated into familiar cultural patterns. She has performed with improvising musicians, including Jack Wright, Birgit Ulher, Jon Mueller, Claire Rousay, Peter Maunu, Eric Leonardson, Olivia Block, Jim Baker and many others. Most recent recordings include a trio release with Birgit Ulher and Eric Leonardson, “horizontal shift” (Amalgam Music); a duet with Claire Rousay &#8220;Live at Elastic Arts&#8221; (Astral Spirits); and a collaborative release with visual artist Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson “Chyme&#8221; (Suppedaneum).</p>
<p class="">A transplant from the Los Angeles music scene, guitarist/violinist <strong>Peter Maunu</strong> has toured, performed and recorded with a long list of diverse musicians including Charles Lloyd, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bobby McFerrin, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Charlie Haden, Archie Shepp, and Grace Slick. As the guitarist on the Arsenio Hall Show, he performed nightly with legends like Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Ringo Starr, Madonna, Ray Charles, NWA, Public Enemy, and many more. Additionally, Peter contributed to the soundtracks of film scores including Crash, Bobby, Food Inc., and tv shows Chicago Hope, Arrested Development and CSI New York. Since relocating to Chicago, he has performed and recorded with improvisers Jack Wright, Gerrit Hatcher, Julian Kirshner, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Zoots Houston, Dave Rempis, Tim Daisy, Michael Zerang, Mars Williams, Jim Baker, Carol Genetti, Tomeka Reid, Katherine Young, Jason Roebke, Avreeyal Ra, Ed Wilkerson Jr., dancer Ayako Kato and many others. In addition, he founded, curates and performs at Splice Series, a bimonthly improvisation series at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Same Difference: Solo Exhibition of New Works by Allison Wade</p>
<p>Relentlessly mining the familiar for the novel and the novel for the familiar.</p>
<p>With this series of metal, ceramic and fabric work, I found freedom by setting compositional parameters, creating frames for myself. Simple components coalesced into more complex arrangements, with adjacencies highlighting similarities and differences. No matter which means I employed, the end came back to the pleasure of seeking new ways to fit and manipulate material into my own established (but expanding) lexicon.</p>
<p>Allison Wade is a visual artist and educator working primarily in sculpture. Her practice is material-based, intuitive, and formally focused. She combines ceramics, textiles, wood, and metal into unexpected, often tenuous arrangements that explore the intersection of flatness and form. Wade’s process, which she likens to syntax, is closely aligned with writing. Deploying an idiosyncratic visual language, she explores the structural and formal contingencies of her materials and sculptures, grouping them into words, sentences, and paragraphs that function both as distinct elements and parts of a whole.</p>
<p>***<br />
Save the dates: Allison Wade will be present at the gallery Saturday, September 14 and on the final day, September 29 (both from 2-5pm).</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/08/allison-wade-same-difference/">Allison Wade: Same Difference</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us for the closing of Elizabeth Burke-Dain&#8217;s closing reception of “Matching the Drapes” with a hand-sewing workshop to make a caftan, one of the oldest and most royal of all garments. The caftan originated in ancient Persia but then spread across Central and Western Asia. It is a kind of robe or tunic that was worn by both men and women.</p>
<p>Come learn to make a pattern and hand sew this simple garment with me and Compound Yellow founder and artist Laura Shaeffer.<br />
In the spirit of the “Matching the Drapes” exhibition, bring any fabric including old sheets, towels, or bedspreads. We will make a pattern first, then finish — or get started — with hand stitching the front and side closures.</p>

The duet will be structured by the quote from Eric Dolphy regarding the ephemerality of music: “When you hear music, after it’s over, it’s gone in the air. You can never capture it again.”</p>
<p class=""><strong>David Boykin</strong> is one of the most important and enigmatic musicians of Chicago’s creative music scene in the recent era. He is a revolutionary storyteller working in the mediums of: music composition, band leading, saxophone shamanism, afro-electronic soul singing, rapping, beat producing, conceptual art, and film making. He has released over 20 album length recordings while performing in venues large and small from Hong Kong, to Dakar, to Moscow, to Paris, to St Louis in the last 24 years. He has exhibited artwork at the University of Chicago and the Chicago Art Department.</p>
<p class="">Chicago native <strong>Makeba Kedem-DuBose</strong> boasts a three-decade career as an artist, jurist, curator, educator, NP creative director, and gallerist. As the former creative director of the now-closed<br />
Chicago Global Health Alliance, she recently traveled to Recife, Brazil, to create paintings for IMIP Hospital, which remain in their collection. Her recent exhibitions include the 2023/2024 solo show; Here Comes the Sun: In My Own Image at Forshey Gallery in the Chicago Temple, and group exhibition; Sapphire and Crystals: Freedom’s MUSE; at the University of Chicago&#8217;s Logan Center. In spring 2023, she was invited to curate the second iteration of her acclaimed 2015 exhibition; Migrations in Black and<br />
White; opening August 2024, at the Evanston Art Center. Additionally, she is co-curating “In Conversation with Dale Washington,” honoring the late Chicago artist, at the Bridgeport Art Center, opening July 2024.</p>
<p class="">Noteworthy achievements include a 2021 Field Museum acquisition and a 3Arts Award nomination. Kedem-DuBose studied interior design at Harrington College of Design and<br />
completed a Visual Arts Certification in Curatorial Practices from the University of Chicago’s Graham School, hosted at the Hyde Park Art Center. She has exhibited as an independent<br />
multidisciplinary artist, as well for the past two decades as a member of the Sapphire and Crystals collective.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/08/side-yard-sound-presents-ephemeral-improvisations-vol-3-david-boykin-and-makeba-kedem-dubose/">Side Yard Sound Presents: Ephemeral Improvisations vol.3: David Boykin and Makeba Kedem-DuBose</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Carol Genetti/Peter Maunu/Theo Katsaounis/Donny Mahlmeister</p>
<p>Carol Genetti is a Chicago-based vocalist whose work encompasses sound and visual art media. Her practice is grounded in free improvisation, with a desire to unlock subconscious ideas and release unintended outcomes. Her vocal palette is primordial, existing in a space where “language” and “music” have yet to be formulated into familiar cultural patterns. She has performed with improvising musicians, including Jack Wright, Birgit Ulher, Jon Mueller, Claire Rousay, Peter Maunu, Eric Leonardson, Olivia Block, Jim Baker and many others. Most recent recordings include a trio release with Birgit Ulher and Eric Leonardson, “horizontal shift” (Amalgam Music); a duet with Claire Rousay &#8220;Live at Elastic Arts&#8221; (Astral Spirits); and a collaborative release with visual artist Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson “Chyme&#8221; (Suppedaneum).</p>
<p>A transplant from the Los Angeles music scene, guitarist/violinist Peter Maunu has toured, performed and recorded with a long list of diverse musicians including Charles Lloyd, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bobby McFerrin, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Charlie Haden, Archie Shepp, and Grace Slick. As the guitarist on the Arsenio Hall Show, he performed nightly with legends like Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Ringo Starr, Madonna, Ray Charles, NWA, Public Enemy, and many more. Additionally, Peter contributed to the soundtracks of film scores including Crash, Bobby, Food Inc., and tv shows Chicago Hope, Arrested Development and CSI New York. Since relocating to Chicago, he has performed and recorded with improvisers Jack Wright, Gerrit Hatcher, Julian Kirshner, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Zoots Houston, Dave Rempis, Tim Daisy, Michael Zerang, Mars Williams, Jim Baker, Carol Genetti, Tomeka Reid, Katherine Young, Jason Roebke, Avreeyal Ra, Ed Wilkerson Jr., dancer Ayako Kato and many others. In addition, he founded, curates and performs at Splice Series, a bimonthly improvisation series at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago.</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister is an Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using modular synthesizers, guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing. His recent solo work encompasses elements of minimalist soundscapes intersected with abstract guestural movements. In addition to his solo work he currently collaborates with Jamie Levinson as Levinson/Mahlmeister. Prior to moving to Oak Park, Donny had been a long-standing member of the Chicago and Midwest rock and improvised scenes, working with A Tundra, Judson Claiborne, Early Day Miners, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Toby Summerfield, Ryan Packard, Jamie Branch, Catherine Young and Bill McKay.</p>
<p>Theo Katsaounis has played in bands such as Joan of Arc, Aitis Band, Dead Rider, Anatomy of Habit, Stillwell, Tale of Genji, Service Anxiety, ZZZZs, Gasoline Fight, Hey!Tonal, Bee Control, Locks, Weather, A Tundra, The Shape of.., Traitors, Bobby Conn, Small Bathroom Fire, and many more&#8230;</p>
<p>RS Masters:</p>
<p>Rs Masters is Teddy Schrishuhn. A product of the American Midwest, Rs Masters implements nature-based field recordings and live unedited performances using various hardware synths and guitar pedals to build soundscapes for meditation and moments of deep listening.</p>
<p>Drawing inspiration from native plants, pollinators, and birds as well as projects such as Loscil and the Environments recordings, Rs Masters hopes to welcome new and returning listeners into a world of sound that allows them to just be.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/08/side-yard-sounds-presents-carol-genetti-peter-maunu-theo-katsaounis-donny-mahlmeister-rs-masters/">Side Yard Sounds presents: Carol Genetti/Peter Maunu/Theo Katsaounis/Donny Mahlmeister/Rs Masters</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>Relevant Hairstyles:</strong></p>
<p class="">Like any musical semi-anti-postmodern art project, there&#8217;s a level on which RELEVANT HAIRSTYLES is simply a modern pop-vocal group in the lineage of, say, The Ink Spots or The Raincoats &#8211; yet the project is also an attempt to strip away such signifiers and tug at an earlier sensibility, one in which audience and performer alike are brought into contact with forces suggesting there may in fact be life before death.</p>
<p class="">For those who care about such things, a recognizable strain of queer longing suffuses the entire affair, and the songcraft is of a sort that&#8217;d compel any wandering Hank (Sr, Jr, or III) or Dion (DiMucci, Celine) to tip their hat back, rest their boots upon a fallen log, and sit a spell.</p>

<p>Harry Tonchev is a Bulgarian-American jazz guitarist who is very active in Chicago. His high energy trio focuses on improvisational music by exploring a mixture of originals and standards from the Great American Songbook. His conversational approach to improvised music keeps audiences engaged.</p>
<p>Daniel Thatcher is a bassist/composer/improviser based in Chicago. His versatility and wide range of musical sensibility has lead him to be a mainstay in Chicago&#8217;s diverse music scene for nearly 20 years. Equally comfortable in the realms of jazz and improvised music, classical, musical theater, pop/rock, and experimental music, he floats freely. He thrives as a bandleader, composing and presenting his ensembles Leaves, Empty Step, Storytime, and Waterwheel, as well as his continuously evolving solo work. The latter is represented by his recording Playing Favorites, released on ears&amp;eyes Records. As a sideman he has worked with a wide array of Chicago&#8217;s luminaries, performing locally on stages small and large.<br />
Daniel&#8217;s broad interests also include extensive training in the healing arts, such as Tai Chi, Yoga, and massage therapy, practicing and/or teaching them alongside keeping a busy performance schedule.<br />
Always seeking to draw parallels between the arts and wellness, Daniel is also trained as a Certified Music Practitioner, providing therapeutic music in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.</p>
<p>Todd Howell has been a part of the Chicago jazz scene for many years. He has been a highly regarded performer and educator who has played with small groups and big bands alike. Todd has performed with many international jazz luminaries over the years such as Bob Mintzer, John Fedchock, Brian Lynch, Bruce Barth, Bobby Broom, Champain Fulton, and Carmen Bradford. He has also performed with many great Chicago artists as well. He is a member of the New Standard Jazz Orchestra and joined the Mulligan Mosaics Big Band in 2021. Todd maintains a busy teaching schedule at several schools in the area including Elmhurst University.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/07/side-yard-sounds-presents-harry-tonchev-trio/">Side Yard Sounds presents: Harry Tonchev Trio</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

The fashion show will be followed by a live performance by the musical duo, Cowboy Jane. The show runs through August 17.</p>
<p>ABOUT THE SHOW<br />
Inspired by the irreverent adage “does the carpet match the drapes?,” this exhibition playfully explores bespoke garments made from repurposed curtains, bed linens, and other household fabrics imbued with memories of comfort and family life.<br />
The show at Compound Yellow, an alternative art and performance space in Oak Park, combines Burke-Dain’s new ceramic work with self-taught clothing construction. The presentation features a series of ceramic collar forms reminiscent of vintage department store displays.<br />

<p>Side Yard Sounds is a series at Compound Yellow that features a bevy of creative musical artists who traverse diverse forms: from the intriguing waters of experimentalism and the avant-garde to forward-reaching jazz and other modes that are expanding our vision of music both in and outside of Chicago. These performances take place in the side yard of our compound from April-October each year.</p>
<p>Allen Turner is a game designer, storyteller, artist, author, composer and performer who has been involved in storytelling and education most of his adult life. He teaches game and design at DePaul University and runs the DePaul Originals Game Studio. He believes in the power of play, motion, and story as fundamental, powerful medicines which shape our sense of self, relationships, and our connection to the cosmos.</p>
<p>As a performer he enjoys exploring the narrative power of dance as a space of personal ritual and transformation via various forms of folkloric dance and movement. His motions pull from all of his heritages and experiences with various teachers becoming a fluid blend of Raqs Sharqi, Butoh, Veil work, Modern West African, and North American Men’s Traditional and Omaha (Grass) dances, fencing, tai chi, and escrima.</p>
<p>As a creator of music he explores creating psychedelic, dreamy soundscapes and danceable rhythms under the auspices of the Council OF Fools Rhythm Council.</p>
<p>Emily Rach Beisel is a Chicago-based improviser, composer, educator, curator and woodwind specialist. Beisel is known for visceral performances blending extended vocal and instrumental techniques with analogue electronics and rich bass clarinet tone. Their solo album Particle of Organs has been described as &#8220;Operatic, wild and dark. It showcases the raw, unadulterated power of the body and the instrument, weaving together sounds that are both corrosive and tender.&#8221;</p>
<p>As a curator, Beisel seeks to increase the visibility and involvement of femme, trans and nonbinary artists in the creative music community. They founded the Pleiades Series at Elastic Arts, presenting monthly performances along with a community-based free improvisation jam for femme and nonbinary performers.</p>
<p>Beisel is a member of the contemporary ensemble Fonema Consort, touring most recently in Brazil, Mexico, Minneapolis and New York and premiering works of living composers including James Dillon, Richard Barrett and Julio Estrada. Beisel holds a Master of Music degree from Northwestern University and is a member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 10-208.</p>
<p>Johanna Brock (pronouns she/they) is a Chicago-based composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist. A trained orchestral violist, Brock takes inspiration from modern and canonical music for violin and viola, creating new compositions using voice, synthesizers, and audio samples. Working with layered sound, Brock’s music explores the boundaries between sound and linguistic meaning. In addition to Lead Rocket with Sara Zalek, Brock is also a member of the improvised string ensemble Akjai, the sound/art project Barbiefoot, and the dance/music project Lykanthea. Brock was recently commissioned by the Chicago Film Archive to create &#8220;Kiss The Rest&#8221; with filmmaker Caitlin Ryan, combining field recordings from across Chicago with a neo-operatic duet for voice and Viola. Their sound installation, created with visual artist Sofia Moreno, was featured in the gallery exhibition of “Flores Nocturnas&#8221; at the University of Wisconsin Eau-Claire in March 2024. This June, Brock joined the new-music ensemble a.pe.ri.od.ic for a performance of visual scores by Chicago composer Renée Baker. This Fall, Brock is looking forward to supporting the performance of Lykanthea’s new album at the MCA.</p>
<p>Tina Lefauve is an engineer who has always enjoyed the inherent rhythms and drones of mechanical and electrical machinery. Her creative processes focus on simple analog circuits and objects found in tool lockers, railyard gutters, and dusty basements. She seek situations to create sounds-scrapes that are outside of the conventional music performance paradigm. Her goal is to make ‘noise music’ quietly that is approachable and multi-emotional. She likes to sit on her porch late at night and listen to the freight trains and the hum of the city.</p>
<p>Sara Zalek (pronouns they/them) is a transdisciplinary artist, producer, and curator of situations and curious objects. Rooted in physical investigations of trauma, resilience, and transformation, their work is intimate, raw, poetic. They make performances into learning situations, workshops, and sensing environments to encourage thoughtful interpersonal connections. @01saratonin / www.saratonin.com</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/07/sys-sara-zalek-johanna-brock-emily-beisel-caroline-jesalva-allen-turner-tina-lafauve/">SYS: Sara Zalek, Johanna Brock, Emily Beisel, Caroline Jesalva, Allen Turner, Tina Lafauve</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Saturday, June 22nd, 2024<br />
7:00 PM 9:00 PM<br />
Compound Yellow<br />
#244 Lake Street, Oak Park, Il.<br />
Tickets $15<br />
BYOB</p>
<p>Join us Saturday, June 22nd from 7pm to 9pm in the Compound Yellow Side Yard for: Ephemeral Improvisations vol.3 : David Boykin and Rhonda Gray<br />
Experimental improvisational duet between saxophonist and drummer David Boykin and artist Rhonda Gray. The duet will be structured by the quote from Eric Dolphy regarding the ephemerality of music: “When you hear music, after it’s over, it’s gone in the air. You can never capture it again.”</p>
<p>David Boykin is one of the most important and enigmatic musicians of Chicago’s creative music scene in the recent era. He is a revolutionary storyteller working in the mediums of: music composition, band leading, saxophone shamanism, afro-electronic soul singing, rapping, beat producing, conceptual art, and film making. He has released over 20 album length recordings while performing in venues large and small from Hong Kong, to Dakar, to Moscow, to Paris, to St Louis in the last 24 years. He has exhibited artwork at the University of Chicago and the Chicago Art Department.</p>
<p>Rhonda Gray is a mother, award winning visual artist, muralist, lecturer, vocalist and dancer. She is a Resident Artist at the Chicago Art Department and recent Illinois Arts Council and DCASE grantee.<br />
​<br />
Her mixed media artwork is rooted in a passion for natural healing, African diasporic womanhood, and reconciling the complexities of visibility and value. In her work, she is compelled to infuse various vintage and futuristic aesthetics, creating a visual nexus that reflects self-perception, sacred space, and multifaceted healing while deconstructing the dominant narrative.<br />
Her art has been exhibited in galleries and museums nationally and can be found in collections globally. In 2018, her paintings and writings were published in the academic book, Michelle Obama’s Impact on African American Women and Girls. Her work can be seen in the featured film “Southside With You” which chronicles Barack and Michelle Obama’s first date.</p>
<p>Gray collaborates with organizations, schools, universities, corporations, authors, film makers on special projects that drive creative transformation and innovation. She has led several mural, mosaic, and sculptural projects throughout the Chicagoland area. In 2014, she assisted legendary muralist and renaissance man, Dr. Siddha Webber, on the restoration of the “Have a Dream” mural located on 39th and King Drive in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood. ​</p>
<p>She is adjunct professor of history at Triton college and National Louis University. She works as a Teaching Artist for Columbia College and Changing Worlds, teaching master classes. Rhonda also serves as Lead Artist for the Black Chicago Museum and South Merrill Community Garden.<br />
Rhonda began painting after graduating from the University of Northern Iowa in 2002 with a Bachelors degree in History Education and later earned a Masters degree in History from Chicago State University.<br />
Her residency at the Chicago Art Department been partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/06/ephemeral-improvisations-vol-2-david-boykin-and-rhonda-gray/">Ephemeral Improvisations vol.2 : David Boykin and Rhonda Gray</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>Garden Parties</strong></p>
<p class="">Garden Parties is an experimental trio comprised of Ben MacDonald on guitar, Jeff Kimmel on clarinet and electronics, and MT Coast on electronics. The trio uses musical improvisation as a meditative exploration of the healing faculties of love, kindness, and friendship in regard to the psychopathologies of hyper-consumption… really… Garden Parties just wants to sit a minute, and then maybe take a walk with you.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Ratchet</strong></p>
<p class="">Ratchet is a quartet consisting of Jeff Chan on tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute, Chad M. Clark on guitar, Michael Perkins on keyboards and synths, and Ausberto Acevedo on double bass. The quartet&#8217;s improvised sets amass like warm ocean currents gently unraveling the limits on structure and form.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/05/side-yard-sounds-garden-party-ratchet/">Side Yard Sounds: Garden Party + Ratchet</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

All proceeds go to funding this program and paying artists.</p>
<p>Seajun Kwon, a bassist, composer, and improviser, is known for his music, described by DownBeat Magazine as &#8220;unsettling themes to express unsettling times and mindsets,&#8221; which captures the chaotic essence of modern life while offering moments of solace and connection. Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Kwon graduated from Boston’s New England Conservatory. Since 2019, he has been leading his group, Walking Cliché Sextet. The ensemble released its debut album, Suite Chase Reflex, in 2021, and its second album, Micro-Nap, in 2022.</p>
<p>Erez Dessel (USA 1998) is an improvising pianist and composer. After graduating from the New England Conservatory in Boston in 2020, Dessel moved to Savannah, GA, where he served as music director at the Savannah Music Festival Jazz Academy, Savannah’s first and only free after-school youth jazz program. He also kept up an active performing career in the southeast, including presenting an hour-long improvised work for piano, pastel, and paper at the Savannah Cultural Arts Center. He moved to Chicago in 2022, and has worked continuously both as a performer and organizer, recording in an array of contexts with many internationally renowned musicians (including Ken Vandermark, Tim Daisy, Dustin Laurenzi, Maria Elena Silva, and Seajun Kwon). His current group activity includes the bands Edition Redux, Walking Cliche Sextet, and the Thwartet, Maria Elena Silva; duos with Scott Taylor and Tyler Wagner; and work as a solo performer. Dessel created and curates the Night School series at Agitator gallery, which presents video artists and improvising musicians in a spontaneous performance context. Dessel has toured nationally and internationally, including performances in Europe and Korea, and his concerts and recordings have received critical acclaim.</p>
<p>Beth McDonald is a classically trained tuba player gone awry. She performs mostly as an improviser, using the tuba acoustically or in conjunction with electronic processing. Beth performs with Edition 55 &amp; Edition Redux, the Duck Brain Ragtime Band, and other projects. She enjoys collaborating on cross-disciplinary performance projects, and has collaborated in works by Becky Grajeda, Nathanael Lee Jones, Sasha de Koninick, and Mark Booth. Previous projects include No Trust, the Lindenbomber Fleet, Boston Modern Brass.</p>
<p>Tyler Damon (b. 1987, Cincinnati, OH USA) is a Midwestern American artist whose syncretic approach aims to reveal mercurial, impressionistic narratives via drums/percussion &amp; free improvisation. In addition to solo work, Tyler has earned recognition for extended duo exhibitions with saxophonist Dave Rempis and guitarist Tashi Dorji. The three formed the trio Kuzu in 2017, leading All About Jazz to insist that their work “is for audacious listeners and it isn’t like anything else.” Other contemporary outfits include a Chicago triad featuring Gerrit Hatcher &amp; Joshua Abrams, a percussion duo with Jacob Fawcett, as well as two new trios, one comprised of Andrew Scott Young &amp; Ishmael Ali, the other featuring Erez Dessel &amp; Beth McDonald. Tyler is also often found drumming with Chicago-via-Houston guitarist Eli Winter in trio alongside Sam Wagster on pedal steel, as well as the Mars Williams-led quartet, Exit Plan, with Brian Sandstrom &amp; Steve Marquette, and has been recognized for his past work with the chameleonic Circuit Des Yeux. Tyler has toured extensively in North America, Europe, Vietnam, &amp; Colombia and is also regularly engaged with other artists, musicians and heads of various sorts across the American Midwest. His recorded output has been offered by myriad labels including Family Vineyard, Astral Spirits, Aerophonic, Trost, Magnetic South, Feeding Tube, Drag City, Matador, Auris Apothecary, Sophomore Lounge, Amalgam, Medium Sound, Long Gone Sound System, Let’s Pretend, Park 70 &amp; his own Yoke (currently on a temporary hiatus).</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/05/side-yard-sounds-presents-seajun-kwon-where-were-we-erez-dessel-beth-mcdonald-and-tyler-damon/">Side Yard Sounds presents: Seajun Kwon + Where Were We: Erez Dessel, Beth McDonald and Tyler Damon</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">A group exhibition paying homage to those who are at peace with the prospect of a permanently uncertain horizon: no dream house, no base, and maybe after some time: no place of origin.</p>
<p class="">Gato Encerrado: A Meditation on Uprootedness, a Preface to Goodbye gathers the work of eighteen multigenerational Chicago-based artists whose practices aligned with those of the organizer as she was putting together an exhibition in response to a home in the midst of transition. The artists were given a written invitation, a tour of the space and a large amount of freedom to respond to the totality of Laura Shaeffer’s and Andrew Nord’s Oak Park home with their interventions.</p>
<p class="">The English idiom don&#8217;t let the cat out (of the bag)— with its intention to avoid revealing hidden information or letting someone in on an in-joke— inspired the title of the show as much as the cat that resides in the home where the exhibition takes place. Later, the Spanish idiom Acá hay gato encerrado (there’s a trapped cat here) emerged. This expression alludes to a situation whose complex parts are not being fully revealed or understood. This pet, a “rescued” cat now living a stable and secure life, can’t wait to adventure outside and into the realm of uncertainty. Therefore, every time someone enters the space, a disembodied voice from inside the home will utter “don’t let the cat out!”, echoing the title of the show and hinting at something that is on the verge of being let loose through the artworks on site.</p>
<p class="">The nomadic impulse of this animal and his resistance to stability and routine are precisely the impulses that are given space in Gato Encerrado: as we create an illusion of safety and coziness around us, are we also secretly eyeing the door to escape the very shelter we have worked so hard to build?</p>
<p class="">By way of these kinds of questions, this exhibition pays homage to those who are at peace with the prospect of a permanently uncertain horizon: no dream house, no base, and maybe after some time: no place of origin. The artistic interventions inside the home disrupt the quotidian flows of movement and usage of objects while subtly pointing at one of the trapped cats, namely: how can one make a show about feeling uprooted inside such a beautiful house?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us Friday May 3rd to welcome visiting artists Dienke Groenhout with the Maakfabriek form the Netherlands!</p>
<p>4pm to 6pm<br />
Ferengi (Stranger)<br />
Dienke Groenhout with the Maakfabriek</p>
<p>A mobile performance in which you participate.<br />
A workshop about moving the body in the symbolic time and space that we create as a society. We will disconnect ourselves by wearing all covering costumes. This performance is free to the public, donations to artists welcome!</p>
<p>***Note: while this workshop is open to all ages, the inflatable suits are adult size, bring the kids so they can play with you!</p>
<p>Or more humorous:<br />
“People think they are fantastic!<br />
But what happens when we encounter strange figures who are much more fantastic than us? What shall we do with those strangers? Vaccinate? Isolate? Capture?<br />
But what do we do when they can do everything so much better than us that they see through us in a split second? Is that actually bad? Put on your safety suit and let yourself be taken into this incorporation ritual of the Ferengis.”</p>
<p>About the Artist<br />
Dienke creates interactive installations that invite the public to enter, to operate the work or to join in some sort of way. This turns the public into an active part of the installation and,<br />
without being aware of it, into the performer of the work. Her works cross-fade the lines between visual arts, theatre, and performance.</p>
<p>Dienke Groenhout (NL 1973) received the title of interdisciplinary artist at the Academy of Fine Arts, Minerva, Groningen, The<br />
Netherlands in 1998 and her Masters title in 2017 at ArtEZ on a research how artists create free space by offering an alternative perspective on the organized society.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/05/ferengi-stranger-dienke-groenhout-with-the-maakfabriek-workshop/">Ferengi (Stranger) Dienke Groenhout with the Maakfabriek: Workshop</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

#244 Lake Street, Oak Park, IL.<br />
7pm to 9pm<br />

<p>All proceeds go to pay artists and support this program.<br />
Kouri Hall is multi-instrumentalists and visual artists Chad Kouri and Andy Hall creating mixed genre sound influenced by jazz, rock, field recordings, folk, funk, hip-hop, house, resistance music, ambient, Avant Garde and high school band, all explored within the context of Chicago’s vast history of improvisation. Their systematic yet spontaneous minds make music out of intuitive feelings and improvised mantras, promoting evolution, joy, exuberance &amp; play.</p>
<p>Sonnenzimmer:<br />
About the performance:<br />
To celebrate the release of Yonder Me by Nadine Nakanishi, Sonnenzimmer, the collaborative practice of Nadine Nakanshi and Nick Butcher, will stage a live action rendition of the book&#8217;s content. The performance will include a reading from the book, original music, and choreographed movements to extract the content into a living document. Together we will create a collective experience of Yonder-ness.</p>
<p>About Yonder Me<br />
Yonder Me is a publication by Nadine Nakanishi. It’s is a quiet exploration of identity. It&#8217;s a journey spun across text, drawings, and photographs that documents a process of reflexive discovery. In it, Nadine lays bare the tensions between self-perception and self-creation, as she processes her tri-cultural, bi-racial, and singular self. Beautifully marrying abstraction and documentation, this book follows her previous titles Formal Additive Programs (2010, Sonnenzimmer) and Field Integration (2009, Sonnenzimmer), and is a natural extension of their inquisitive, process-based nature. However, in Yonder Me, Nadine inverts her sometimes didactic sensibilities to create an open-ended song we can all hum along to. A tune for anyone who has ever felt othered or misconstrued. A rhythm we&#8217;ve all felt tugging at our chest and a drawing we all get.<br />

<p>About Sonnenzimmer<br />
Sonnenzimmer is the collaborative practice of artists Nick Butcher &amp; Nadine Nakanishi. We began working together in the early 2000’s combining our love for visual art, typography, graphic design, printmaking, and music in the form of screen printed concert posters. Supported by Chicago’s thriving improvised music community, we developed an experimental approach to graphic expression that tested the limits of abstraction, legibility, communication, and the medium of print. –– This approach soon gave way to deeper investigation of the nature of graphic expression at large. Having created thousands of graphic images, we began to ask ourselves “what is this stuff?” and “what role does it play in society?”.<br />
–– We had a hunch that something lay just beneath the surface of human-made graphics that had yet to be formulated. This curiosity has led us to research graphics in the natural world, contemporary advances in imaging, indigenous cosmologies, experimental physics, and beyond. –– Amidst this, our graphic practice has grown to include exhibitions, publishing, performance, commissioned graphic design, and even music. Through each of these respective outputs, our core concern remains. We’ve come to view graphics as a fluid social membrane that allows humanity to think together beyond the individual. Graphics are an augmented collective reality that each of us lay claim to. Our work seeks to illuminate and make sense of this space<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>April 13 2024 Winter Sounds in Spring!<br />
7pm to 9ish&#8230;<br />
$15 or pay what you can<br />
proceeds go to paying artists and supporting the music programs at CY!<br />
BYOB!</p>
<p>Compound Yellow’s ‘Winter Sounds’ is a series of indoor events in the cozy upstairs gallery space that features a handful artists or groups from a variety of backgrounds and locations. The general motif of the evening is focused on shorter improvised sets in the electronic/electro-acoustic/ambient genres. This evening features artists from Chicago and Oak Park.</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister / Eli Caterer:</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister is a Chicago/Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using modular synthesizers, guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing. He currently collaborates with Jamie Levinson as Levinson/Mahlmeister (Trouble in Mind Records) and Theo Katsaounis (Joan Of Arc). Donny had been a long-standing member of the Chicago and Midwest rock and improvised scenes, working with A Tundra, Early Day Miners, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Tobin Summerfield, Ryan Packard, Jamie Branch, Catherine Young and Bill McKay.</p>
<p>Eli Caterer is a founding member of the long-time Chicago greats The Smoking Popes. While he’s known for his impeccable melodic rock guitar playing in that outfit, he’s also an accomplished solo artist. Using elements such as Casio Sk-1, guitar and a myriad of pedals, Eli weaves intermingling sonic landscapes that never forget his melodic roots at heart.</p>
<p>Daniel Wyche:</p>
<p>Daniel Wyche is a Chicago-based guitarist, composer, and improviser. Working with a wide range of physical preparations, extended techniques, and pedal instruments, his solo recordings and live performances are characterized by long-form structured improvisations and multichannel guitar. He has been a curator with the Elastic Arts Foundation in Chicago since 2013, where is work has been described as “crucial” by Dusted and “vital” by the Chicago Reader. In March of 2020, Daniel co-founded The Quarantine Concerts in collaboration with Chicago’s Experimental Sound Studio. The series has been widely praised as a model for online/streaming live music. Along with his solo guitar work, Daniel is involved in several ongoing collaborations, most notably the trio of Wyche, Mark Shippy (US Maple), and Ben Baker Billington, as well as new work with longtime collaborators like Patrick Shiroishi, Lake Mary, and many others.. His most recent solo record, “Earthwork,” was released on American Dreams Records in 2021.</p>
<p>John McCoy:</p>
<p>John McCoy is a musician living in Milwaukee. Since he moved here in 96, he&#8217;s preformed and recorded with Castle Broadway, an improvisational music collective. The last few years, John&#8217;s focus has turned toward the modular synthesizer as his main solo instrument and musical output. Lately he has been exploring more live patching for performances. Giving the audience a chance to see how a patch is built as the music builds as well.</p>
<p>Chris Salveter / Jamie Levinson:</p>
<p>Christopher Claiborne Salveter is a Chicago-based songwriter and DJ who performs under the name Judson Claiborne and DJ Lil&#8217; Boy With a Beard. Raised in a Missouri river town-turned suburb, his earliest musical influences were oldies radio and MTV’s 120 Minutes. Chicago&#8217;s indie record labels and bands of the late 90s beckoned him to relocate there in 2000. Soon after, he started the group Low Skies (2000 &#8211; 2006) , who released four records and toured the US relentlessly. Even though Salveter&#8217;s work is primarily word based, this will be his first foray into modular synthesis performance, using spoken word and Nature Sound LPs as source material for sonic manipulation.<br />
Jamie is a percussionist and sound designer from Oak Park, IL. His compositions weave acoustic elements with controlled voltage.</p>
<p>Solar Winter:</p>
<p>Solar Winter is Chicago-based musician Alex Schone. As a strong believer in music’s power to heal, he uses field recordings, tape loops, electroacoustic experiments, guitar drones, and more to calm and relax the listener. He currently has two albums available with a third coming soon.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/04/winter-sounds-3/">Winter Sounds</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LeWorkshop and Exhibition on Saturday, April 6, 4 to 6 p.m.<br />
Open Studio on Sunday, April 7, 2 to 6 p.m.<br />
Compound Yellow, 244 Lake St, Oak Park, IL 60302 (map)</p>
<p>Join Polish artist Kamila Wolszczak for a new iteration of her ongoing workshop series Walking Fingers. Wolszczak will take children and adults of all ages on an archeological walk around Oak Park to forage abandoned objects and give them a new life. In this workshop, participants will create a series of hybrid sculptures and mini spatial installations made with clay, earth, wood, and the found foraged objects. This exercise is intended to spark critical reflection on the present and future in a creative atmosphere. After the sculptures are done, they will be integrated into the works exhibited in the studio, alongside previous pieces the artist brought from her home in Amsterdam.</p>
<p>On Sunday, visitors will have the chance to have tea and coffee with Wolszczak and get to know her project more in-depth.</p>
<p>Kamila Wolszczak is a Netherlands-based Polish visual artist and researcher. She works with found materials that are socially perceived as waste. She creates installations, material-based performances, and “walkshops” that explore the relations between urban spaces, artifacts, and human traces. She enjoys collaborative projects and co-creation, as she blends facts with speculation. Wolszczak received a BA in Painting, an MA in Art Education in Poland, and an MA in Performing Public Space Artistic Research in the Netherlands.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/04/fingers-and-treasures-workshop-exhibition-and-open-studio/">Fingers and Treasures: Workshop, Exhibition and Open Studio</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Compound Yellow is pleased to present the exhibition entitled &#8220;Manet/Degas&#8221;, consisting of works by LA artist Gary Cannone, and opening Saturday, March 23 from 3-6pm.</p>
<p>“Few artists are as well-equipped to meditate on the relationship between wheelchairs and doormats as Gary Cannone.” — overheard</p>
<p>Gary Cannone employs substitution, parody, props, and slapstick to create an art that embraces physical and conceptual deflection. Cannone, born in 1964, grew up in an immigrant household on Chicago’s northwest side in the 1970s and was fixated on comedy: Candid Camera, Norm Crosby, Mad Magazine, Tom &amp; Jerry, Carol Burnett, and Andy Kauffman. The first fine art objects which interested him — such as Dada, Eva Hesse’s Hang Up, or Rauschenberg’s Erased De Kooning — had a structural playfulness similar to the comedy he loved.</p>
<p>Cannone’s early work included customer surveys, subliminal messaging, how-to books, libraries within libraries, conversion charts, and phone trees. In 2013, Cannone was diagnosed with a neurological illness which affects his cognitive function, manual dexterity, and ability to walk. His counterintuitive response has been to convert this into a boon to his art practice, crafting a methodology inspired by the phenomenological experience of his disability and converting his daily stumbling blocks into a generative force. His embroideries, doormats, furniture, and overhead objects focus our attention on obstacles in communication and movement, not as a source of frustration but as space for a kind of poetry.</p>

<p>Hali Palombo is a composer, visual artist and filmmaker from the Midwest. Her work weaves the mundane and ordinary into more elaborate works of writing, visual art and song.<br />
Hali will be performing compositions made from reconstructed “interval signals” &#8211; a bit of musical phrasing used as a station identifier on shortwave radio broadcasts.<br />

Twilight Furniture<br />
Daniel James Burke presents the premier performance of Twilight Furniture: Experiential songs with Ambient motives.<br />
Channeling but not necessarily sounding anything like Steve Reich, Harold Budd &amp; Brian Eno, Cluster, Mark Hollis, the French Classical Impressionists, Burt Bacharach, and John Cage. File under: Post-Classical Ambient Minimalism, if you must.<br />
Skirting genre, playing with form, tonality, atonality, tradition, and innovation: opening space for experiential access.<br />
See, Hear, Feel. Songs of the moment.</p>
<p>Twilight Furniture …possible musics…<br />
<iframe title="Daniel James Burke -Twilight Furniture: Experimental Songs with ambient motives by Soundoferror" width="500" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F1776067491&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500"></iframe><br />
Daniel Burke: Guitar, Keys, synth, field recordings, &amp; devices.<br />
Equally influenced by atonal modern classical, the ambient music of Brian Eno, the nuanced and free improvisation approach of AMM, the chamber pop of Burt Bacharach, and the industrial machinations of Throbbing Gristle, minimalists Reich and Glass, as well as jazz, rock, prog, &amp; punk, Dan has been playing with sound since the early 80’s as Illusion of Safety releasing over 40 full length recordings and performing over 300 concerts worldwide. He has also collaborated in composition, live performance, or recorded with Jim O’Rourke, Darin Gray, Kevin Drumm, Jeb Bishop, Jon Mueller, &amp; Olivia Block, et. al. He has also collaborated in ensemble groups CHEER-ACCIDENT, Tertium Quid (w/Bill Horist &amp; Dave Abramson), and Total Sound (w/Chris Block).<br />

Andy Ortmann<br />
Stalwart of the electroacoustic underground for the better part of three decades, Ortmann continues to forge new directions in the field of Sound (with recent studies focusing<br />
on High Order Ambisonics).<br />
Ortmann is staunchly positioned somewhere between Musique Concrète and Abstract Narrative.<br />
In addition to generating his own work, Ortmann splits his time running the Nihilist Recordings label and hosting a podcast for WFMU (The Eternal Now) covering a wide range of underheard sound.<br />
For this performance, Ortmann may be playing selections from his latest triple LP<br />
&#8216;Psychoacoustic Electronics&#8217; and other sonic delights.<br />

<p>Donny Mahlmeister &amp; Theo Katsaounis:</p>
<p>Donny and Theo have been longtime members of the Chicago indie-rock and improvised music community. They have played together in A Tundra, Shred Aquarium and The Shape Of, plus countless free improvised music ensembles. Separately, Theo has played in Joan of Arc, Aitis Band, Anatomy of Habit and Dead Rider.

<p>Carol Genetti &amp; Peter Maunu</p>
<p>Carol Genetti is a Chicago-based vocalist whose work encompasses sound and visual art media. Her practice is grounded in free improvisation, with a desire to unlock subconscious ideas and release unintended outcomes. Her vocal palette is primordial, existing in a space where “language” and “music” have yet to be formulated into familiar cultural patterns. She has performed with improvising musicians, including Jack Wright, Birgit Ulher, Jon Mueller, Claire Rousay, Peter Maunu, Eric Leonardson, Olivia Block, Jim Baker and many others. Most recent recordings include a trio release with Birgit Ulher and Eric Leonardson, “horizontal shift” (Amalgam Music); a duet with Claire Rousay &#8220;Live at Elastic Arts&#8221; (Astral Spirits); and a collaborative release with visual artist Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson “Chyme&#8221; (Suppedaneum).<br />
A transplant from the Los Angeles music scene, guitarist/violinist Peter Maunu has toured, performed and recorded with a long list of diverse musicians including Charles Lloyd, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bobby McFerrin, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Charlie Haden, Archie Shepp, and Grace Slick. As the guitarist on the Arsenio Hall Show, he performed nightly with legends like Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Ringo Starr, Madonna, Ray Charles, NWA, Public Enemy, and many more. Additionally, Peter contributed to the soundtracks of film scores including Crash, Bobby, Food Inc., and tv shows Chicago Hope, Arrested Development and CSI New York. Since relocating to Chicago, he has performed and recorded with improvisers Jack Wright, Gerrit Hatcher, Julian Kirshner, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Zoots Houston, Dave Rempis, Tim Daisy, Michael Zerang, Mars Williams, Jim Baker, Carol Genetti, Tomeka Reid, Katherine Young, Jason Roebke, Avreeyal Ra, Ed Wilkerson Jr., dancer Ayako Kato and many others. In addition, he founded, curates and performs at Splice Series, a bimonthly improvisation series at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago.</p>
<p>Sky Brothers (Nick Broste/Hawk Coleman)</p>
<p>Nick Broste (trombonist, composer, recording engineer) has been an active player in the Chicago music scene since 1997. He has performed with James Falzone, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Jason Ajemian, Jeb Bishop, Keefe Jackson, Anton Hatwich, Marc Unternahrer, Mars Williams, Jim Baker, Josh Berman, Dave Rempis, Marc Riordan, Jamie Branch, Matt Bauder, and many others, as well as bands such as Wilco, Spoon, TV on the Radio, Cursive and Broken Social Scene. He’ll be joined this evening by Hawk Coleman.<br />
Michael Perkins/Chad Clark</p>
<p>Since the late 90s pianist/composer Michael Perkins has been regularly performing and recording in the punk, electronic, and jazz scenes in and around Chicago. He’s worked as a session musician on many recordings for bands like Atari Star, Das Kapital, and The Lavellas as well recording with his own groups such as Sig Transit Gloria, Written in the Sand, Far Rad, and Mr 666. Michael has been continuing to play jazz and blues on a regular basis in addition to the occasional free improvised electronic music set.<br />
Chad M. Clark has been fortunate enough to make sounds with many dynamic artists including Viv Corringham, Jamie Davis, Norman W. Long, Todd A. Carter, Aaron Zarzutzki, Alex Mincek, Ausberto (Oz) Acevedo, Eric Leondardson, Christopher Preissing, Julian Kirshner, Tim Daisy, and Lindsey Gorry.</p>

<p>Hypothetical Star or (star), was conceived by an artist and a satellite engineer in New Mexico during Covid-19 lockdown. They perform at venues with their original music, video projection, &amp; lecture performance. In person, (star) brings projections and touchable archive of lesser-known Space histories as social artifacts creating a Space peace jam. Their array is currently active&#8230;sending stop-motion photographs and sound transmissions from Earth (Chicago).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Join us Saturday, January 27th from 7pm to 9pm in the Compound Yellow Studio for:<br />
Ephemeral Improvisations vol.1 : David Boykin and Juarez Hawkins<br />
Come early to see the beautiful new work of Luis Romero!</p>
<p class="">Experimental improvisational duet between saxophonist and drummer David Boykin and painter Juarez Hawkins. The duet will be structured by the quote from Eric Dolphy regarding the ephemerality of music: “When you hear music, after it’s over, it’s gone in the air. You can never capture it again.” Toward this end, Jaurez Hawkins will be improvising using only water and brushes on water color paper so that the images she creates will gradually disappear as do the notes that David Boykin will be playing on his reeds and drumset.</p>
<p class="">David Boykin is one of the most important and enigmatic musicians of Chicago’s creative music scene in the recent era. He is a revolutionary storyteller working in the mediums of: music composition, band leading, saxophone shamanism, afro-electronic soul singing, rapping, beat producing, conceptual art, and film making. He has released over 20 album length recordings while performing in venues large and small from Hong Kong, to Dakar, to Moscow, to Paris, to St Louis in the last 24 years. He has exhibited artwork at the University of Chicago and the Chicago Art Department.</p>
<p class="">Juarez Hawkins is an artist, educator and curator. She received a B.A. from Northwestern University, and her M.A. from Columbia College Chicago. Juarez has exhibited widely, hosting solo exhibitions at Concordia University, the 33 Collective Gallery, and the South Side Community Art Center. As Co-Curator of Gallery Programs at Chicago State University, she organized exhibitions from the permanent collection, as well as student work, and established artists including Richard Hunt and Marva Pitchford Jolly. Juarez is a member of Sapphire and Crystals, a collective of African American female artists.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Compound Yellow’s ‘Winter Sounds’ is a series of indoor events in the cozy upstairs gallery space that features 5 artists or groups from a variety of backgrounds and locations. The general motif of the evening is focused on shorter improvised sets in the electronic/electro-acoustic/ambient genres. The evening features artists from Chicago and Oak Park.</p>
<p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">
<p class=""><strong>Levinson/Mahlmeister/Davison:</strong></p>
<p class="">Comprised of Jamie Levinson &amp; Donny Mahlmeister, the Chicago duo uses synthesizers in combination with tactile instruments (Levinson is a drummer/percussionist &amp; Mahlmeister a guitarist) to create cinematic snapshots of sonance. While the duo absolutely gives glances toward artists like Eno, Lanois, Reich, Riley &amp; the kosmische places and spaces of Deuter, they are absolutely of the NOW, in step with ambient explorers like Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Panabrite, or locals Bitchin&#8217; Bajas, TALsounds or Brett Naucke.</p>
<p class="">For this show the duo will be a trio; they be joined by Joshua Davison. As half of the experimental IDM act String Theory, Joshua recorded music for some wonderful independent electronic labels, including Manchester&#8217;s Skam, Chicago&#8217;s Consumers Research and Development, and Milwaukee&#8217;s Wobblyhead. He describes his industrial-kosmische tone poems as collaborations between the machine ensemble and its operator. The complexity and randomness of shift-registers, channeled by hand into drifting voltage landscapes.</p>
<p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">
<p class=""><strong>Jeff Kimmel:</strong></p>
<p class="">Jeff Kimmel is a Chicago-based clarinetist and educator. His work encompasses improvisation, new and experimental music, and interdisciplinary collaborations, often incorporating electronics. His discography includes releases on New Focus Recordings, Dinzu Artefacts, Amalgam, and Peira.</p>
<p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">
<p class=""><strong>Norman Long:</strong></p>
<p class="">Norman W. Long (b. 1973, Chicago, IL) is a sound artist/designer/composer based in Chicago, IL. His current work focuses on sound art production within the larger context of landscape. He has exhibited and/or performed in galleries in Chicago, Ithaca, New York, London, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The processes involved in his practice lie within the area of field recording, electro-acoustic composition and dub technique. His art/studio practice involves gardening, collecting, performing and recording to create, objects, environments, situations in which the artist and audience are engaged in a dialogue about memory, space, value, silence and the invisible. It is his desire that his practice offers us a space to consider our relationship to sound via social, ecological structures, our interiority and to affirm our existence.</p>
<p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">
<p class=""><strong>Bob Konow:</strong></p>
<p class="">Bob Konow loves tones, waveforms and all manner of noise makers. He is also mildly agoraphobic.</p>
<p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">
<p class=""><strong>Hali Palombo:</strong></p>
<p class="">Hali Palombo is a composer, visual artist and filmmaker from Chicago, Illinois. Born in Northfield, Minnesota, she has had a natural curiosity about the midwestern United States since a young age. Her work often weaves the absurdity and mundane beauty of Illinois into her records, short films, drawings and paintings.</p>
<p class="">Palombo is an avid practitioner of “plunderphonics”: sampling existing musical/aural works and intertwining them into something brand new, whether it’s shortwave radio and cb radio samples, wax cylinder audio, and field recordings taken from midwestern points of interest. She also draws great inspiration from endless adventures throughout the country &#8211; be them on google maps or in her car &#8211; often photographing, filming or drawing her findings.</p>
<p class="">Palombo began making work at age 26, and despite getting somewhat of a late start for an artist, she has amassed a lush body of varied and careful work. Her influences include Philip Glass, Flannery O’connor, Jorge Luis Borges, and Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Il (she would like her ashes scattered there someday, hopefully not anytime soon).</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2024/01/winter-sounds-davidson-levinson-mahlmeister-norman-long-jeff-kimmel-bob-konow-hali-palumbo/">Winter Sounds: Davidson/Levinson/Mahlmeister/Norman Long/Jeff Kimmel/ Bob Konow/Hali Palumbo</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Luis Romero constructs assemblages made primarily of paper, cardboard, and canvas. He uses the repetition of pattern and the layering of materials to create a visual space rich in ambiguity, where the relation of the mark to the surface is unsettled, and marks seem independent of the support. His works show the evidence of manual contact and are often made of perishable materials; but they look for a kind of incorporeality, a place where marks are both present and absent; existing and illusory. You can<br />
think of them as organisms that contain an uncertain space. As if the teleporter in the original Star Trek series left travelers caught halfway in the process between dematerialization and rematerialization.</p>
<p class="">Luis Romero is a visual artist from Puerto Rico, living and working in Chicago since 1998. He completed his MFA in Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and his BA in Philosophy, Literature, and Film at Boston University. Romero is a MacDowell Fellow and his work is in public and private collections in the US and Europe such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, US Department of State, and the Fidelity Corporate Collection, among many others.</p>

<p>Compound Yellow’s ‘Winter Sounds’ is a series of indoor events in the cozy upstairs gallery space that features 5 artists or groups from a variety of backgrounds and locations. The general motif of the evening is focused on shorter improvised sets in the electronic/electro-acoustic/ambient genres. The evening of November 11th features artists from Chicago and Oak Park.</p>
<p>SAM PREKOP</p>
<p>SAM PREKOP’s boundless imagination is guided by his strong sense of melody. For more than 25 years, as a solo artist or as part of The Sea and Cake, PREKOP creates a singular sound inventive and warm. His distinctive vocals, guitar playing and work on modular analog synthesizers are inventive, delicate, and always bear his signature sense of melody. Comma finds SAM PREKOP for the first time working extensively with beat programming, focusing his enveloping synthesizer pieces around a newfound rhythmic pulse.<br />
PREKOP&#8217;s creative process is a combination of preparation and improvisation. Writing sessions for Comma began with an open-ended exploration of sounds and textures from which the first fragments of songs would reveal themselves. The introduction of drum machines and additional synthesizer units to his modular setup shifted things in surprising new directions as he worked to bend them into more traditional pop song structures. Drum tracks and emergent rhythms provided the frameworks and narrative sketches to be fleshed out with lustrous widescreen synth pads and ribboning melodies. In approaching his writing with a completely open mind and letting himself be guided by the music, PREKOP maintains a delicate balance between composition and chance, control and spontaneity. Comma embraces the analogue synthesizer’s often unpredictable nature, imbuing the record with a decidedly organic feel even while working within the relative rigidity of beat architectures.</p>
<p>DONNY MAHLMEISTER</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister is a Chicago/Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using modular synthesizers, guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing. His recent solo work encompasses elements of minimalist soundscapes intersected with abstract gestural movements. In addition to his solo work he currently collaborates with Jamie Levinson as Levinson/Mahlmeister (Trouble in Mind Records) and Theo Katsaounis (Joan Of Arc). Prior to moving to Oak Park, Donny had been a long-standing member of the Chicago and Midwest rock and improvised scenes, working with A Tundra, Early Day Miners, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Tobin Summerfield, Ryan Packard, Jamie Branch, Catherine Young and Bill McKay.</p>
<p>KIKÙ HIBINO</p>
<p>Japanese-born sound artist Kikù Hibino produces electronic music that focuses on unusual rhythmic structures and melodies inspired by nature, optical illusion and moiré patterns.</p>
<p>From chamber music for media productions to ambient noise for art installations, he has collaborated internationally with a wide variety of artists and scholars, including Baudouin Saintyves, Yuge Zhou, Mitsu Salmon, Kawaguchi Takao (Dumb Type), Theaster Gates, Mike Weis (Zelienople) and Norma Field.</p>
<p>Kikù is on the Italian record label Superpang. His work has been shown in Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago, Bemis Center For Contemporary Arts, Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago Cultural Center, Three Walls, Compound Yellow, Elastic Arts, Hairpin Arts Center, Hyde Park Art Center, Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, among others. He’s a 2017 Individual Artist Grant recipient from Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, 2021 Outer Ear Artist in Residency at Experimental Sound Studio. Kikù lives and works in Chicago.</p>
<p>VERONICA ANNE SALINAS</p>
<p>Veronica Anne Salinas (she/they) is a Tejana artist, educator, researcher, writer, and Deep Listener. Her creative research engages sound, landscape, geomancy, writing, anthropology, performance, the archive, and video. Her work in sound focuses on acoustic ecology, text scores, voice and language, listening practices, spatial audio, improvisation and performance, and sonic archiving. She holds an MFA in Sound from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is currently studying Deep Listening at the Center for Deep Listening at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and serves on the board for the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology.</p>
<p>Artist Statement: My creative experimentation draws primarily on sound, new media, ecology, performance, and literary practices. My work engages with ideas of orientation, becoming, of in-process and evolving work/selves/technologies, feral sensualities, acoustic territories, amplifying the body/marginality, visual and sonic landscapes, spatial cultures, digital storytelling, walking practices, materiality, universal cosmic energy, vibrational healing, and radical and empathetic ways of listening with/to human and non-human entities as social practice. I’m interested in interrogating the sonic perspective, listening approaches, attention spans/dispatches, and working with communities to further understand ways of being.</p>
<p>Veronica’s work has been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (Chicago, IL), Elastic Arts (Chicago, IL), Empty Bottle (Chicago, IL), Omaha Under the Radar (Omaha, NE), Urban Arts Space (Columbus, OH), 2nd International Conference on Sonorities Research (II CIPS Sonoridades Fronteriças), the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology (MSAE), Noise Pulp Radio, Quarantine Concerts, No Nation Art Lab (Chicago, IL), MANA Contemporary (Chicago, IL), Flatland Gallery (Chicago, IL), Farmhouse Art Collective, Open Sheds (Chicago, IL), The Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR) Latino Arts Now! 2019 Conference, Experimental Sound Studio (Chicago, IL), Chicago Design Museum (Chicago, IL), Sullivan Galleries (Chicago, IL), Mudlark Theatre (New Orleans, LA), Box 13 (Houston, TX), Megapolis Audio Festival (Philadelphia, PA), Midtown Arts &amp; Theatre Center Houston (Houston, TX), Lawndale Art Center (Houston, TX), Art League Houston (Houston, TX), Alabama Song (Houston, TX), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), Clamp Light Artist Studios &amp; Gallery (San Antonio, TX), Artpace (San Antonio, TX), Sala Diaz (San Antonio, TX), Highwire Arts (San Antonio, TX), and Cities and Memory (UK).</p>
<p>JORDAN MARTINS</p>
<p>Jordan Martins is a pedal steel player and visual artist based in Chicago, IL. His debut album Fogery Nagles (Astral Spirits Records) showcases his use of the pedal steel in hypnotic, minimalist arrangements with synths, guitars and percussion. He is one third of the pedal steel trio 60 Strings with Justin Brown and Sam Wagster and leader of the country/free jazz group Drawler (with Quin Kirchner and Matt Ulery).

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Compound Yellow presents artist Keeley Haftner&#8217;s &#8220;Tesselescence (Compound Yellow)&#8221;, opening this Saturday from 3-6pm.</p>
<p>“Tesselescence&#8221; is a larger, ongoing series of work by Haftner begun in 2014, encompassing many transformative processes for waste materials. It is a portmonteau that combines the concepts of “tessellation” (a two-dimensional pattern with a three-dimensional effect) and “obsolescence,” be it unintentional or planned. This exhibition is the next in a series of installations which reveal the visual history of an artist-run space&#8217;s installations using their leftover paint from previous exhibitions. This solo exhibition will also showcase new installation-sculptures titled &#8220;Material Biases&#8221; created in collaboration with artists Alberto Aguilar, Arnold J. Kemp, Laura Shaeffer, and Lisa Walcott.</p>
<p>Keeley Haftner (1985) is a Saskatchewanian-Canadian artist based in the Netherlands whose artwork deals with garbage as a material and a concept – in other words, with matter out of place and time. Her work has been exhibited internationally in the US, Canada, and Europe, including her current solo presentation at the Ceramic Museum of the Netherlands. Haftner was long-listed for Canada’s prestigious Sobey Art Award, and short-listed for the De Kei Ceramics Prize, a biennial award for ceramic work of exceptional artistic quality in the Netherlands.</p>

Regina Martinez is a sound centered artist based in Chicago. Her current experiments draw from an archive of infinitely personal recordings she relates to as soundmarks: her father&#8217;s hands cleaning dried beans, drumline rehearsal after school, a creaky front gate to home, the flap of our clothes outside on the line. Each recorded moment becomes its own instrument, its own layer of composition, and a washing and wringing out of memory meant to be overheard like a poem again and again.</p>

Volverse Imagen- Becoming Retina<br />
September 9- October 6, 2023<br />
2PM TO 5PM<br />
María Burundarena<br />
Curated by Sofía Sánchez Borboa</p>
<p>Volverse Imagen- Becoming Retina presents María Burundarena’s latest work that explores finding pleasure and desire through the sense of discovery[SSB1] . Using photography, print media, and collage, she cuts out, reassembles, and condenses pieces of reality to play with multiple dimensions and invites the viewer to walk into several frozen moments that no longer exist in time and space. Photography becomes virtual by showing the viewer a fleeting moment, even if it looks like reality. The viewer becomes so entranced by it and its aura that they inevitably escape to the new reality to which the work takes them.</p>
<p>The exhibition is a continuation of the artist’s exploration of the boundaries of the image. By thinking of the retina as a surface and the surface as a retina that records images of imprinted memories blown up, she plays with the spatial sensation of the depth of an image. She further utilizes filters to interrogate the viewer’s relationship to the image and the ways in which they experience and understand their seeing. The ephemeral quality of her works stems from Burundarena’s interest in the relationships between time and abandonment in urban settings as a reminder that all we experience is but a fleeting memory. Although photography captures an embalmed moment in time, it will also fade away and be altered in our memories.</p>
<p>By using her personal photographic archive to surround the visitor in the gallery, Burundarena romanticizes a memory of what is lost, abandoned, and broken. Volverse Imagen- Becoming Retina is an installation of fragmented images that play with multiple dimensions, generating a visceral sensation of being inside an image. The viewer&#8217;s immersion within a time limit of 30 seconds creates a sense of awe that goes beyond beauty and admiration and becomes an epiphany in which what is being observed is not a real image but a trace of reality.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2023/09/maria-burundarena-volverse-imagen-becoming-retina/">María Burundarena:  Volverse Imagen- Becoming Retina</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="">Step into the world of Beyond Blue and uncover the hidden narratives that reside within the indigo pigment. This thought-provoking art exhibition celebrates the resilience and triumphs of those affected by the indigo pigment&#8217;s historical significance in West Africa and America.</p>
<p class="">Join us for the opening reception on July 21 from 7p to 10p, as we come together to celebrate the power of art in igniting conversations and fostering connection. Engage with the artists themselves, gaining insight into their creative process and the stories behind their vibrant artworks.</p>
<p class="">Throughout the exhibition, participate in various interactive workshops including a quilting workshop led by Amanda Christine Harth, a master of textile craftsmanship, and a denim workshop with Landon Tate. Explore the art of quilting and denim creation, both intimately connected to the indigo heritage, and unleash your own creativity.</p>
<p class="">Expand your horizons through an artist talks and panel discussion, where esteemed guests, Alexandria Eregbu and Amanda Christine Harth, share their perspectives on identity, memory, and the enduring impact of indigo. These conversations will deepen your appreciation for the profound connection between art and storytelling.</p>
<p class="">Experience the fusion of art and literature in our Poetry Circle &amp; Writer&#8217;s Workshop with Justus Pugh. Explore the poetic expressions inspired by indigo and discover how the written word can unveil hidden narratives.</p>
<p class="">Indulge your senses in an extraordinary artistic and culinary fusion at the Artist Dinner hosted by Alaasë. This intimate gathering celebrates the diverse voices and experiences that intersect within the indigo realm, creating a space for inclusivity, understanding, and the celebration of our shared humanity through West African dishes with an American twist.</p>
<p class="">Join us for the Closing Reception, where we bid farewell to this transformative exhibition. Hosted by NO BOTTLE SERVICE, this event will prioritize the art and collective experience allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the rich narratives presented and celebrate the artist that have created the amazing pieces and programming that make up the exhibition.</p>
<p class="">We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners at Compound Yellow, The Design Museum of Chicago, and alt_ as well as our programming partners Landon Tate, Justus Pugh, Alaasë, and NO BOTTLE SERVICE for their invaluable support and collaboration in bringing this extraordinary exhibition to life. Together, we aim to create an inclusive space that welcomes diverse perspectives, fosters dialogue, and honors the multifaceted stories woven into the indigo pigment.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us July 1st from 7pm-9pm at Compound Yellow for Side Yard Sounds featuring the creative music of Flux Bikes and Desert Liminal!</p>
<p>#244 Lake Street<br />
This event will take place on our side yard, BYOB welcome! $5-$15 to the artists!</p>
<p>Flux Bikes is long-distance music created by multi-instrumentalist Rob Frye in 2010. He not only uses his bike wheel as the main percussion instrument, but also the mode of transportation. Whether performing locally or on one of dozens of tours, the story of the journey is heard in the sound of the tires.</p>
<p>Performing as Desert Liminal (solo)<br />
For Chicago-based musician Sarah Jane Quillin, Desert Liminal is a vehicle for experimental songwriting that seeks to marry elements of narrative poetry, melodic dream pop, shoegaze textures, and noise. A first listen of Glass Fate, Desert Liminal&#8217;s first release on Whited Sepulchre Records, reveals an astute ear for creating warm, engaging art-pop that entwines Quillin’s eliding delivery around smart hooks and introspective, bordering on melancholy, melodies.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2023/07/side-yard-sounds-flux-bikes-desert-liminal/">Side Yard Sounds: Flux Bikes + Desert Liminal</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Side Yard Sounds presents:<br />

BYOB</p>
<p>Join us to celebrate the launch of a new record + art label, No Below Editions. No Below is an artist-run boutique label that celebrates the collaborative spirit of our Central Illinois art and music community through handmade artist editions of new sonic projects spanning free improvisation, drone/minimalism, exquisite corpse exchanges, and more.</p>
<p>This summer, label co-founders Edward Breitweiser and Stephen Holliger (Swim Ignorant Fire) will tour throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri. No Below’s first release, Swim Ignorant Fire’s I dont know how much longer I can hold this will be available in limited-edition cassette and artist editions. At Compound Yellow, they will be joined by Chicago artist Allen Moore whose work examines both visual and experimental music, emphasizing the importance of nurturing the Black Imagination with social representation. His educational and curatorial practices focus on building spaces for advocacy, creative representation and healing. His work converses with the signifiers of African American and popular culture, bringing to view the underlying themes of racial, emotional and socio-economic conditions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us for the closing reception of Mikey Mosher&#8217;s &#8216;Biofeedback&#8217;. This exhibition is a body of work which reflects on and attempts to rectify the loss of tactility in contemporary American culture. This loss is particularly obvious in the context of technology, and our physical interactions with it. Touch screens lessen the physical sensation of every swipe, type, and tap, so much so that these sensations need to be simulated back into the experience through added haptic feedback. This loss of touch has stretched into our interpersonal relationships even more during the pandemic era. Reflecting on these patterns brought about this body of work that attempts to both embody this loss of tactility, but also be an act of resistance to that loss. Pieces in this exhibition involve “hands-off” production processes such as lasercutting, but also require significant “hands-on” methods like sanding, collaging, painting, and arranging.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Side Yard Sounds: Levinson/Mahlmeister + Douglas Andrew McCombs + Eli Caterer<br />
7pm to 9pm<br />
This event will be help outdoors, in the case of inclement weather we will be upstairs in the studio!<br />
BYOB<br />
Suggested Donation of $15 to the artists!</p>
<p>Levinson/Mahlmeister: Comprised of Jamie Levinson &amp; Donny Mahlmeister, the Chicago duo uses synthesizers in combination with tactile instruments (Levinson is a drummer/percussionist &amp; Mahlmeister a guitarist) to create cinematic snapshots of sonance. While the duo absolutely gives glances toward artists like Eno, Lanois,Jamie Levinson &amp; Donny Mahlmeister Reich, Riley &amp; the kosmische places and spaces of Deuter, they are absolutely of the NOW, in step with ambient explorers like Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Panabrite, or locals Bitchin&#8217; Bajas, TALsounds or Brett Naucke.</p>
<p>Douglas Andrew McCombs is one of the most highly regarded bassists/guitarists working today. He is known for his pioneering band Tortoise, his bass playing in Chicago’s Eleventh Dream Day, and his innovative instrumental group Brokeback. He has released albums with guitarist David Daniell, and collaborated with the likes of Tom Zé to Yo La Tengo, Stereolab to Daniel Lanois. In addition to being the touring bassist for The Sea and Cake, McCombs has somehow found time to form a new trio Black Duck with guitarist Bill MacKay, and percussionist Charles Rumback.</p>
<p>Eli Caterer is a founding member of the long-time Chicago greats The Smoking Popes. While he’s known for his impeccable melodic rock guitar playing in that outfit, he’s also an accomplished solo artist. Using elements such as Casio Sk-1, guitar and a myriad of pedals, Eli weaves intermingling sonic landscapes that never forget his melodic roots at heart.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2023/06/side-yard-sounds-levinson-mahlmeister-douglas-andrew-mccombs-eli-caterer/">Side Yard Sounds: Levinson/Mahlmeister + Douglas Andrew McCombs + Eli Caterer</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>&#8220;Outside In&#8221; is a music project that aims to be a legitimate tribute to the iconic improvisational scene of Chicago. The artistic goal is to blur the line between improvisation and composition exploring new ways of blending the two sides of the creating process both in the context of music performance and during the producing process. Experienced local music improvisers will be involved in the musical effort of shaping extemporary compositions out of individual and collective improvisations. &#8220;Outside In&#8221; is meant to be the follow up of the &#8220;Inside Out&#8221; project and album which started from diametrically opposite artistic premises: playing pre-arranged compositions as a tool and starting point to inspire individual and collective improvisation. With &#8220;Outside In&#8221; the starting point would be the individual and collective improvisation with the abstract purpose of channelling and shaping the ensemble voices into a cohesive and organic musical piece all in real time. From the &#8220;Inside Out &#8220;to the &#8220;Outside In&#8221; We are the same living bio-organism and we can start acting as one. Music and the Arts are the empirical demonstration that we are all connected on a deeper level that we might be aware of.</p>
<p>We are so excited to be featuring these talented individuals.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us May 6th from 2pm to 5pm for the opening reception of Mikey Mosher’s Exhibition Biofeedback!</p>
<p>Biofeedback: new works by Mikey Mosher<br />
May 6th to June 3rd, 2023</p>
<p>This exhibition, &#8220;Biofeedback&#8221; is a body of work by Chicago-based artist Mikey Mosher, which reflects on and attempts to rectify the loss of tactility in contemporary American culture. This loss is particularly obvious in the context of technology, and our physical interactions with it. Touch screens lessen the physical sensation of every swipe, type, and tap, so much so that these sensations need to be simulated back into the experience through added haptic feedback. This loss of touch has stretched into our interpersonal relationships even more during the pandemic era. Reflecting on these patterns brought about this body of work which attempts to both embody this loss of tactility, but also be an act of resistance to that loss. Pieces in this exhibition involve “hands-off” production processes such as lasercutting, but also require significant “hands-on” methods like sanding, collaging, painting, and arranging.</p>
<p>Mikey Mosher is an interdisciplinary artist from Massachusetts, currently based in Chicago. He holds an MFA in Studio Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Much of his work is influenced by his undergraduate Religious Studies background. This academic study of the religious history of New England allowed him to root his reflections on the relationship between religion, spirituality, colonial power, and indoctrination in historical events that took place where he grew up. Since then, he has been using his artistic practice as an act of perpetual self-reeducation; a way of filtering and rearranging the information he picks up from contemporary media to reflect the grim and surreal reality that underlies all corners of American life. More recently, he sees his practice as a channel for genuine spiritual reflection, both for himself and his audience, while infusing cultural critique into that process.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2023/05/mikey-mosher-biofeedback/">Mikey Mosher: Biofeedback</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us Saturday, April 29th for our closing reception of &#8220;for IRIS and other flowers&#8221; new works by Leslie Baum<br />
2:00 pm to 6:00 pm</p>
<p>This closing will be followed by a special performance by Anthony Burton and Joe Adamik at 7pm: details to come.</p>
<p>“Why record a flower? What’s the point? They’re ephemeral, they’re never the same from day to day, they’re so brief, there are so many of them. Incremental change, inevitable loss.” —Jordan Kisner</p>
<p>This exhibition is an attempt to reframe loss as a celebration. An absurd project? Perhaps, but one that aspires to be helpful, hopeful, and even healing. I think of this work as radically unfixed – not meant to endure in any form or location. Here, for now, thin cotton paintings temporarily adorn indoor and outdoor surfaces. Casual arrangements of ceramics populate tabletops. A large-scale painting composed in three parts – comes together just for this show. This mode of making is an outgrowth of several recent art-making experiences: an experimental residency in Umbria, a re-engagement with ceramics begun at the Watershed Residency and /continued at Gnarware, and my pandemic project of &#8211; daily watercolor paintings of flowers from my garden. At the beating heart of the whole endeavor is my mother, Iris. She was my first art teacher and introduced me to watercolor and clay – her two primary media. In the 1970s, she made a clay stamp of her signature to sign her ceramic work. I now have this object and use it – putting my hand onto the clay she shaped and – imprinting her name – and spirit – into my work.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us for music and video screening Saturday April 22nd 6pm-7pm<br />
Please come early to get your seat, seating is limited and this event begins promptly at 6pm.</p>
<p>Under his own name and as These Wonderful Evils, Zak Boerger has performed and released albums of slow burn, guitar-based music that sits somewhere between the ambient soundscapes of Brian Eno and Robert Fripp and the heavier approaches of guitar minimalists such as Heldon and Earth.</p>
<p>With his spouse and creative partner Melissa Oresky, Boerger released a CD/DVD set including Oresky&acirc;&#128;&#153;s video work, the product of a residency at the Petrified Forest National Park. Videos from this series and others will be screened during the performance.</p>
<p>Through her collage and painting based multidisciplinary practice, Melissa Oresky seeks to recognize plants, in all their mystery and ubiquity, as perceptive and expressive beings. Her work has been exhibited at a wide range of venues in Chicago and beyond, with recent exhibitions and curatorial projects at Boundary, Chicago; The Elmhurst Art Museum, Elmhurst, IL; Field Projects, NYC; and The Franklin, Chicago. She has published several artist&acirc;&#128;&#153;s books and prints with Kayrock Screenprinting, Brooklyn, and co-authored a 2020 essay exploring her recent artist&acirc;&#128;&#153;s book, Finder, with historian Keith Pluymers that was published in Antennae: The Journal of Nature and Visual Culture.<br />
Oresky is currently a 2023 Wallis-Annenberg Helix Program fellow and Professor of Painting at Illinois State University.</p>

<p>This is a time for artists, activists and friends to gather. To come with our gifts, and our belonging to each other, to honor the earth. It is in times like these we share with voice, with song, with poem, with art, the movement of truth that belongs to all of us. On the day, Earth Day, we will gather and unite to create a space of living our best lives for one another and for the earth. In this space, in an open mic forum, we will celebrate together! Sponsored by Creative Artists and Activists in Service Together LIVE! and Compound Yellow</p>
<p>C.A.S.T. Live! connects community minded creative artists and local groups that support justice, equity, and healing. We produce and participate in events using the arts to amplify important causes. We support activists to share their message creatively. As we meet at the crossroads &#8216;beyond borders&#8217; we help build movements, support mutual aid and build the Beloved Community together.</p>

<p>Neil Jendon @dronestry</p>
<p>Spencer Hutchinson @nihon0019</p>
<p>Mark Nagy and Neil Jendon have been working in the electroacoustic medium as a duo since 2017. Collectively known as Legendary Ninja Monk, they have been exploring and recording the graphic score Treatise by Cornelius Cardew. This epic graphic score is 193 pages long. This extensive structural investigation has fostered in depth explorations of timbral densities, temporal manipulations, as well as the investigations of regenerative textures. Legendary Ninja Monk music ranges from introspective musings to capricious romps.</p>
<p>Spencer Hutchinson is an American contemporary artist who works in a wide range of media including video, 3D animation, painting, drawing, and digital sound manipulation. He will be performing the music from his back catalog of work as ersatz modem.</p>
<p>We are so excited to be featuring these talented individuals.</p>

<p class="">Join us March 25th from 7pm-9pm at Compound Yellow for Side Yard Sounds of 2023</p>
<p class="">We will also be hosting the closing reception for Sspatz’s Toolbox exhibition, so don’t miss this very special evening of art, music and community!</p>
<p class="">Featuring:</p>
<p class="">Claire Fleming Staples</p>
<p class="">Dorothy Carlos</p>
<p class="">Gabriel Vincent Postle.</p>
<p class="">Claire Fleming Staples billed as Fleming (b. 1987, Philadelphia) is a queer multidisciplinary artist, and a long term member of a network of DIY underground creative communities in the United States. They are currently a second year MFA candidate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Film Video, New Media, and Animation department.</p>
<p class=""> The breadth of their work encompasses both an antagonizing and joyful irreverence for late capitalist cultural mores, and a sincere and persistent reverence for the sublime. Ultimately, whether the work’s expression is humor, rage, psychedelic maximalism or meditative transcendentalism, the force and goal that drives it is liberation. They are engaged in the work of constantly questioning how and what that freedom looks like, and the analysis and growth out of the constructs and systems that inhibit it. Through immersive installations of projected video, sound and sculpture, they invite the participant to experience embodiment and an expanded understanding of what it means to be human. A desktop performance practice that pairs navigation of deep media archives with political discussions typed to the audience, is complemented by an intertwined social practice of advocating for access and equity within art institutions. They are one half of the tekno duo 404 NOT FOUND. <a href="https://www.claireflemingstaples.com">claireflemingstaples.com</a></p>
<p class="">Dorothy Carlos is a cellist and sound artist working in improvised performance and multi-channel sound installation in New York City and Chicago. Her work utilizes randomized effect pedals and programmed electronics to explore themes of intimacy, ephemerality, and imaginaries. Recent solo performances have been presented by Experimental Sound Studio, e-flux, and 29speedway and this year Dorothy will perform at Big Ears in Knoxville. Last year, she released an album on the Chicago-based label American Dreams in collaboration with artist, Brian Oakes. Dorothy holds a Bachelor’s degree from NYU where she studied classical cello and anthropology on full scholarship, and is currently pursuing an MFA in sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. <a href="https://dorothycarlos.com">dorothycarlos.com</a></p>
<p class="">Gabriel Vincent Postle billed as g0rb is an experimental sound artist/musician who transforms, manipulates, and arranges various electronic audio signals in real-time, using an assortment of digital and analog technologies.</p>
<p class="">We are so excited to be featuring these talented individuals.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us Friday, the 24th of February for our very first exhibition of 2023!</p>
<p>This is our first year with a very empty nest and we want to fill that nest with art, good friends and creativity! Revisiting our Hyde Park Home/Gallery days (<a href="https://thelarch.org/home.html">www.thelarch.org</a>) we will open our private spaces to the public for intimate gatherings over the year, blurring the lines between public and private, art and everyday life, and exploding the gallery into other areas of the compound.</p>
<p>We are super excited to present the work of sspatz, an artist collective with contributions by Franziska Windolf, Eva Gentner, Esther Steinbrecher, John Dombroski &amp; Trevor Amery, Julia Dorflinger, Simon Fischer, Anas, Lukas Picard, Simon Pfeffel, Markus Vater, Aida El-Oweidy.</p>
<p>The work will be presented in various spaces all over the compound, gallery, studio, home, bathroom, living room and outdoors spaces.</p>
<p>6pm to 9pm<br />
drinks and light snacks provided!</p>
<p>Since its foundation, sspatz has been all about art in domestic spaces. The starting point has been the need to make contemporary art tangible as part of living spaces and to test how it can be presented and received in completely regular homes, outside of exclusive properties or pure white cube settings. So you could definitely say that sspatz&#8217;s mission is to normalize living with art. The pandemic has clearly shown how important it is to open up new spaces and forms of presentation for art. We therefore decided to work with 12 artists during the lock-down to develop a Toolbox that people can use to create and encounter art in their own homes. In 2021 we sent out 55 boxes to people all over the world so they could create their very own contemporary art experience at home.</p>
<p>The special thing about the contributions gathered in the Toolboxes is that the works are only completed through the active participation of the recipients. How the activation is to be carried out in detail can be found either on the contribution itself or in an accompanying manual. Sometimes the instructions are relatively clear and sometimes absolutely ambiguous. In any case, however, the works call for dialogue and examination. For the contributions gathered in this Toolbox, the action of the recipients is decisive. They must be activated and should be touched &#8211; sometimes even roughly. The artworks in this box are strange tools. Not only do they intervene in the actual nature of the world and homes, but they also question our understanding of authorship and art. They are an invitation to question our own notions of where, when and what art is or can be.</p>
<p>The presentation of sspatz’s Toolbox project at Compound Yellow is an exhibition that extends from the Gallery to adjacent living spaces, a documentation of previous Toolbox activities and an open ended process for the audience in Chicago. With contributions by Franziska Windolf, Eva Gentner, Esther Steinbrecher, John Dombroski &amp; Trevor Amery, Julia Dorflinger, Simon Fischer, Anas, Lukas Picard, Simon Pfeffel, Markus Vater, Aida El-Oweidy.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2023/02/sspatz-group-exhibtion/">Sspatz: group exhibtion</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us Saturday, January 28th from 7pm to 9:30pm for Compound Yellow’s ‘Winter Sounds’!<br />
#244 Lake Street, Oak Park, BYOB<br />

<p>&#8216;Winter Sounds&#8217; is a series of indoor events in the cozy upstairs gallery space that features 5 artists or groups from a variety of backgrounds and locations. The general motif of the evening is focused on shorter improvised sets in the electronic/electro-acoustic/ambient genres. The evening of January 28th features artists from Chicago, Oak Park and Milwaukee areas:</p>
<p>Donny Mahlmeister/Theo Katsaounis:<br />
Donny and Theo have been longtime members of the Chicago indie-rock and improvised music community. They have played together in A Tundra, Shred Aquarium and The Shape Of, plus countless free improvised music ensembles. Separately, Theo has played in Joan of Arc, Aitis Band, Anatomy of Habit and Dead Rider. Donny played and collaborated with Early Day Miners, Collections of Colonies of Bees and Judson Claiborne.<br />
This performance will feature an exploration into guitars with electronics.<br />

<a href="https://theokatsaounis.bandcamp.com/">https://theokatsaounis.bandcamp.com/</a></p>
<p>Raquel Gonzalez:<br />
Wielding an electric violin, looper, and some effects pedals, Raquel records herself improvising and composing music regularly. She creates lush soundscapes, ambient drones, and experimental string music in her home studio. She enjoys making different kinds of audio art that pairs well with poetry and various sound textures.<br />
Nick Turner:<br />
Nick Turner is a Chicago based musician and social worker that utilizes music and sound creation as a vehicle for emotional experiencing and expression.<br />
https://linktr.ee/tyresta</p>
<p>Wavefiler:<br />
Milwaukee, WI area artist, Wavefiler, uses synthesizer hardware, tape recorders and computer-aided composition methods to create electronic music that is experimental, ambient and sometimes beat-driven. Sonic explorations range from tape-driven textures to repeating and evolving melodic figures. Wavefiler also focuses on developing synthesized sound designs to aid meditation and healing.<br />

<p>Joshua Davison/Nathan Tucker:<br />
Joshua Davison and Nathan Tucker have played together in numerous musical acts over three decades. Their electronic duo, String Theory, released music through the UK label Skam, Chicago&#8217;s Consumer&#8217;s Research and Development and Milwaukee&#8217;s Wobblyhead. After String Theory, they went on to explore electronic power pop with founding member of OK Go Andrew Duncan as Parks and Gardens, and the more meditative but still song-oriented Thirds.</p>
<p>This performance will feature Josh playing a digital sampler and synthesizer accompanied by Nate playing lap steel guitar.<br />

<p class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">Margaret (Maggie) Cleary is a 2nd year sculpture graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her practice explores memory, intuition, and mediumship through object/costume making, set building, and sound/vocal performance. Her current questions are: Is memory a space between time? Can I make a field of dreams? And if I build it, will they actually come?</p>
<p class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">
<p class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">Donny Mahlmeister is an Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using modular synthesizers, guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing.

Prior to moving to Oak Park, Donny had been a long-standing member of the Chicago and Midwest rock and improvised scenes, working with A Tundra, Judson Claiborne, Early Day Miners, Collections of Colonies of Bees, Toby Summerfield, Ryan Packard, Jamie Branch, Catherine Young and Bill McKay.</p>

<p class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s">Zander Raymond is an interdisciplinary artist and musician working in Chicago, IL. In his visual work, he improvises with found materials, tools, and images to make drawings, prints, and sculptures that question the idea of productivity in a studio environment and serve as an autobiographical record of experience. His music is similarly rooted in improvisation, utilizing modular synthesizers and open-source sound computers to sample, warp, and build sonic images that embrace non-linear approaches to composition. Past Projects have been hosted by Okay Gallery (Chicago, IL), Gummies Gallery (Chicago, IL), Mayfield (Forest Park, IL) among others. He holds a BFA in studio from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Join us for an intimate performance evening in the Compound Yellow studio featuring the music of Rich Klevgard (These Peaches) solo with special guest Jory Avner, Jodi Walker and Jim Basten!</p>
<p class=""><strong>About the artists:</strong></p>
<p class="">Rich Klevgard</p>
<p class="">The band had been performing ever since the release of their debut album, Almost Heard the Ocean in 2015. The sound is Americana, it’s folk, it’s country, it’s rock, it is wholeheartedly original. These Peaches tells the story of love lost and love found and the journey between and beyond. Primarily the vision of Rich Klevgard, this band has a poetic and melodic sense that balances perfectly. This evening of music is The singer’s presentation of his songs with just his guitar and his voice. Their newest song is in video form: <a href="https://youtu.be/7krzbB_hdWo?fbclid=IwAR1IfyggF5j2CVzZwQERAzj9icTYZVHJbHkxxnLmVooo3AxlDj6nchUtPBk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/7krzbB_hdWo</a></p>
<p class="">Jory Avner</p>
<p class="">Chicago-based singer-songwriter Jory Avner has been writing and performing music for over ten years, released three albums and headlined shows all across the United States and Canada. His music blends highly stylized lyricism and guitar with synth/rock soundscapes, creating an atmosphere that is deeply textured, thought-provoking, introspective, and yet succinct in terms of narratives.</p>
<p class="">“By far the words are what I focus on the most when it comes to writing or listening to a song… I guess I hope people walk away from my songs with their mind sort of activated, and in the best case scenario maybe feel a little moved. I always love when songs do that for me.”<br />
~Jory Avner, Voyage Chicago Magazine</p>

<p class="">Jodi Walker and Jim Basten:</p>
<p class="">Jodi Walker and Jim Basten have been performing together as a duet and as part of the Night of 1000 Stars house band since 2018. Jim is a singer songwriter and has been an interpreter of the Americana cannon since the early 1970’s. Jodi began her musical career in New York singing jazz. She relocated to Chicago in 2009 and began writing and performing as part of various ensemble groups including the Significant Others, MilkMoney, Rainy Day Women and the Zimmermen. She has a residency at Friendly Tap, Night of 1000 Stars, which showcases local artists.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2022/12/rich-klevgard-these-peaches-solo-with-special-guests-jory-avner-jodi-walker-and-jim-basten/">Rich Klevgard (These Peaches) Solo with special guests Jory Avner, Jodi Walker and Jim Basten</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

As an educator, Jankowiak has utilized contemporary painting practice and public artworks as a vehicle for social engagement with Chicago Public School students and teachers across the entire city for over two decades.</p>
<p>Jankowiak’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, SAIC’s Roger Brown Study Collection, the Hyde Park Art Center, Johalla Projects, Western Exhibitions and the Chicago Cultural Center.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1661255533366_211" class="eventitem-column-content">Saxophonist and composer <strong>Gregory Dudzienski </strong>lives a life of constant motion. After years of travel, he has become a member of Chicago’s strong community of musicians and improvisers. His original music has been featured on the Anagram Series at The Elastic Arts Foundation, the Actual Jazz Series at Cafe Mustache, and the Chicago Jazz Composers Collective At The Green Mill as well as the Is This Jazz Series at AS200 in Providence, Rhode Island, the International Saxophone Symposium in Fairfax, Virginia, and the Salerno Jazz Festival in Salerno Italy.  Dudzienski was inspired during his youth by the jazz of the late 1950s and 1960s and has since then continued to be influenced by the melodic, harmonic and rhythmic language of that era. Seeking new ways to navigate the spirit of the mid-century jazz language, his music results in a modern aesthetic with strong roots in primary sources.</p>

<p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1661344659720_209" class="">For Chicago-based musician Sarah Jane Quillin, <strong>Desert Liminal</strong> is a vehicle for experimental songwriting that seeks to marry elements of narrative poetry, melodic dream pop, shoegaze textures, and noise. A first listen of <em>Glass Fate</em>, Desert Liminal&#8217;s first release on Whited Sepulchre Records, reveals an astute ear for creating warm, engaging art-pop that entwines Quillin’s eliding delivery around smart hooks and introspective, bordering on melancholy, melodies. The further these songs move from the source they begin slipping into headier terrain creating neck-craning audio fields and looped voice that recall Tony Conrad at his most accessible and Haley Fohr’s experimentations with voice and breath. These sounds cohabitate in the liminal space where meaning and reference slowly fade into Jungian archetype and back again in this solid, reality-affirming songwriting.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The WGN Band will be playing on the mentioned Sundays at Compound Yellow (highlighted is the upcoming one) from 4 to 6 PM!</p>
<p>As part of The WGN Band, Paul Ashford is a native Chicagoan raised on jazz, blues, and soul music in the early 1960s-‘70s. His love for music and curiosity about it as a child drew him to the beat of the drums. At age 10 Paul’s parents bought him his first drum set and he never looked back from there. That summer Paul and his musical friends formed their first band, Evans Street, and in the 1980s Evans Street won first place at the Battle of the Bands contest at Chicago’s Park West Theater. This victory led them to meet jazz greats such as George Duke, Stanley Clark and drummer Raeford Griffin. At age 15, Paul was exposed to gospel music and became the drummer for Southside Church where he played for nine years. After their Park West Theater success, other musicians contacted Evans Street and they got to record David Josiah‘s hit single with him, “Mine Blowing,” for Columbia records. When Paul was 23, Evans Street got the opportunity to be the house band for Janet Jackson at a promotional event for her album, Control. From there, Paul took his talents to the blues circuit in Chicago, performing at venues such as Big Daddy’s on Chicago’s southeast side to Kingston Mines in Chicago’s Blues Alley. He met many likeminded musicians along the way, and was asked to play for Studebaker John &amp; the Hawks when their drummer was injured. This led to eight years of touring and traveling with John Gibraldi (aka Studebaker John). During a break at one of their sets at Kingston Mines, Paul met Jimmy Burns. “My best friend was Jimmy’s drummer, and one time he needed someone to stand in for him. I performed with Jimmy Burns at a gig in Michigan and it was like magic,” Paul said.</p>

<p class="">We are so excited to continue our Side Yard Sound series, 2022 with Levinson/Mahlmeister and a solo synth set by Joshua Davison.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Levinson/Mahlmeister:</strong> Comprised of Jamie Levinson &amp; Donny Mahlmeister, the Chicago duo uses synthesizers in combination with tactile instruments (Levinson is a drummer/percussionist &amp; Mahlmeister a guitarist) to create cinematic snapshots of sonance. While the duo absolutely gives glances toward artists like Eno, Lanois, Reich, Riley &amp; the kosmische places and spaces of Deuter, they are absolutely of the NOW, in step with ambient explorers like Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Panabrite, or locals Bitchin&#8217; Bajas, TALsounds or Brett Naucke.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Joshua Davison</strong> got his start in electronic music as half of the Chicago electronic duo String Theory in the early 2000s. Since then, he&#8217;s performed and recorded across a number of genres, venturing into psychedelic electronic rock with Parks and Gardens and Thirds, and releasing synthesizer-based experimental music under his own name. His music is available at <a href="https://originofthecosmos.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://originofthecosmos.bandcamp.com</a></p>

<p class=""><strong>Aaron Shapiro</strong> is a guitarist and composer who has been a fixture in Chicago&#8217;s eclectic music scene since 2010. As a writer and arranger he has composed for a 15-piece big band, a Hammond Organ trio and an album of guitar &amp; vocal duets with singer Mary Lawson.

Since 2015 he has played guitar for The Eternals and has also collaborated on recording projects with saxophonist Patrick Bartley and drummer Daru Jones.

<p class="">“<strong>Woven Memories</strong>” is an exhibition of collaborative weavings created by blind artists from Chicago’s Friedman Place. This work is the culmination of a National Endowment for the Arts funded program at the Friedman Place Weaving Studio. Guest artist Gabriel Akagawa collaborated with blind artists and their weaving instructors to create sensuous works that embody notions of time, experiences, and storytelling. Each weaver utilized looms with traditional and unorthodox materials responding to color and composition, thread dimension and weight, materiality and sound, time and travel, memory and monument, concept and context.</p>
<p class="">
<strong>Friedman Place</strong> is a non-profit organization that provides programs for people who are blind. The Supportive Living Program includes housing, meals, health services, and activities &#8211; like the therapeutic weaving program &#8211; to 95 adults who are blind each year. Two community-based programs, The Navigator and Rent Assistance programs, help an additional 100 adults who are blind gain connections to resources that promote independent living. This includes 18 Rent Assistance clients who receive rent subsidies of 50% of their rent up to $300/month. More information about eligibility for these programs or how to support them may be found at www.friedmanplace.org.</p>

<p>Jakob Heinemann is an Ashkenaz bass player and composer from Madison, Wisconsin. Now living in Chicago, his work is wide-ranging, but consistently centers around both intuitive and analytical investigations into sound and the many layers lying therein. As a composer, Jakob currently works with field recordings and spectral analysis to map the pitch content of natural systems onto instruments with augmented tunings. As a bass player, he plays frequently within Chicago’s improvised and creative music circles, and has several groups considering improvisation within preconceived structures and materials. He also can be found playing with the Chicago Klezmer Ensemble and other Jewish music groups. Outside of creating, Jakob enjoys teaching in several different environments, and maintains an ongoing private lessons studio. Beginning in December 2021, Jakob helps curate the Splice Series along with co-hosts Peter Maunu and Carol Genetti.</p>
<p>Side Yard Sounds:<br />
We are so excited to continue our Side Yard Sounds Series in 2022 with a bevy of creative musical artists who traverse diverse forms: from the intriguing waters of experimentalism and the avant-garde to forward-reaching jazz and other modes that are expanding our vision of music both in and outside of Chicago.<br />
Compound Yellow, in Chicago’s Oak Park neighborhood, has long been a site for visual art exhibitions of all kinds. Its emphasis on the artist as a protagonist who incites our impulses to challenge the status quo, and considers brighter alternatives, reminds all that taking risks and new steps is what keeps our arts and social circles truly alive.<br />
Join us then as we embark on bold new adventures in sound &amp; space with a series of outdoor concerts held safely in our colorful, art-adorned yard.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2022/08/side-yard-sounds-jakob-heinemann-quartet/">Side Yard Sounds: Jakob Heinemann Quartet</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>Paul Ashford</strong> is a native Chicagoan raised on jazz, blues, and soul music in the early 1960s-‘70s. His love for music and curiosity about it as a child drew him to the beat of the drums. At age 10 Paul’s parents bought him his first drum set and he never looked back from there. That summer Paul and his musical friends formed their first band, Evans Street, and in the 1980s Evans Street won first place at the Battle of the Bands contest at Chicago’s Park West Theater. This victory led them to meet jazz greats such as George Duke, Stanley Clark and drummer Raeford Griffin. At age 15, Paul was exposed to gospel music and became the drummer for Southside Church where he played for nine years. After their Park West Theater success, other musicians contacted Evans Street and they got to record David Josiah‘s hit single with him, “Mine Blowing,” for Columbia records. When Paul was 23, Evans Street got the opportunity to be the house band for Janet Jackson at a promotional event for her album, Control. From there, Paul took his talents to the blues circuit in Chicago, performing at venues such as Big Daddy’s on Chicago’s southeast side to Kingston Mines in Chicago’s Blues Alley. He met many likeminded musicians along the way, and was asked to play for Studebaker John &amp; the Hawks when their drummer was injured. This led to eight years of touring and traveling with John Gibraldi (aka Studebaker John). During a break at one of their sets at Kingston Mines, Paul met Jimmy Burns. “My best friend was Jimmy’s drummer, and one time he needed someone to stand in for him. I performed with Jimmy Burns at a gig in Michigan and it was like magic,” Paul said.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please join us at the Compound Yellow for Side Yard Sounds 2022 featuring the creative music of Martin Yam Møller<br />
Saturday August 6th at 7pm:<br />
Martin Yam Møller<br />
#244 Lake street<br />
Oak Park, IL<br />
BYOB</p>
<p>This performance will be held outside, space is limited so please come early to reserve your seat!<br />
$15 at the door, cash, Venmo and PayPal accepted, proceeds go to the artists!<br />
Rain dates TBA</p>
<p>Martin Yam Møller is a half-Danish and half-Hong Kong Chinese songwriter and ambient artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark.</p>
<p>This odd combination is reflected in his musical output which is equal parts straight story-telling on acoustic guitar and vocals, but also improvised soundscapes played back with 4-track cassette tape machines and ethereal fx. At Compound Yellow he will do both during early August, with new collaborators from the Chicago area.<br />
With the story telling part, listeners can look forward to songs with a unique lyrical shock. Where Martin tells both personal stories, but also observations on how the world is twisting into and out of shape.</p>
<p>The improvised ambient soundscapes are created by ‘performing’ on old 4-track tape machines using pre-recorded materials from cassettes. Sonic materials that Martin often records from the local area of the venue, where the performance itself takes place. These are interleaved with a collage of melodic snippets and spoken word poetry, as well as synth drones and heavily processed samples. All of which Martin mixes and manipulates live in concert.<br />
Martin is currently releasing his new album ‘9 Odd Songs’, where each single comes out on the first Friday of the month. With the final single released in August, completing the whole album.</p>
<p>Side Yard Sounds:<br />
We are so excited to continue our Side Yard Sounds Series in 2022 with a bevy of creative musical artists who traverse diverse forms: from the intriguing waters of experimentalism and the avant-garde to forward-reaching jazz and other modes that are expanding our vision of music both in and outside of Chicago.</p>
<p>Compound Yellow, in Chicago’s Oak Park neighborhood, has long been a site for visual art exhibitions of all kinds. Its emphasis on the artist as a protagonist who incites our impulses to challenge the status quo, and considers brighter alternatives, reminds all that taking risks and new steps is what keeps our arts and social circles truly alive.<br />
Join us then as we embark on bold new adventures in sound &amp; space with a series of outdoor concerts held safely in our colorful, art-adorned yard.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2022/08/side-yard-sounds-martin-yam-moller/">Side Yard Sounds: Martin Yam Møller</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class=""><strong>Grids and Gradients </strong>will show works from Sofia Hagström Møller that were made during the past 2 years, as well as new works. All her works are based on old weaving traditions from Scandinavia and many of them are produced on modern digital looms, whilst using old traditional weaving techniques in the expression of patterns.</p>
<p class="">Sofia is working with gradients, in terms of colors, but she is also integrating grids as a visual contrast. Sofia says, &#8211; “When I first saw the map of Chicago, what I noticed was that it was filled with grids, this is not usual for maps of cities in Europe. And for me as a weaver… What I saw was woven grids, of course. And for me this served as a counterpoint to gradients, which I have long been fascinated by in woven patterns.”</p>
<p class="">For Sofia’s newer works in <em>Compound Yellow</em>, she is integrating the color yellow,. She will be exploring the various shades of yellow and bring them forward in her process of expression. How do the many nuances of yellow interact with the other color gradients, and how does the woven cloth enhance or detract from the saturation of yellow?</p>
<p class="">Grids and Gradients will be shown <strong>31 July &#8211; 31 August</strong></p>
<p class="">The workshops that are held during the exhibition will relate to weaving gradients, using the Hello Looms, and there will be a yarn dying workshop where the exploration will take inspiration from Sofias work, by using yarns to dye in different gradients.</p>

<p>Aaron Shapiro is a guitarist and composer who has been a fixture in Chicago&#8217;s eclectic music scene since 2010. As a writer and arranger he has composed for a 15-piece big band, a Hammond Organ trio and an album of guitar &amp; vocal duets with singer Mary Lawson. Over the past decade Aaron has led jazz ensembles at many of Chicago’s renowned music venues including Andy&#8217;s Jazz Club and The Jazz Showcase. Since 2015 he has played guitar for The Eternals and has also collaborated on recording projects with saxophonist Patrick Bartley and drummer Daru Jones. For Compound Yellow&#8217;s Side Yard Sound series, Aaron will be joined by Nate Lepine on tenor sax and John Sutton on bass. They&#8217;ll perform two sets of Shapiro&#8217;s original compositions interwoven with some choice cover songs.</p>
<p>Side Yard Sounds:<br />
We are so excited to continue our Side Yard Sounds Series in 2022 with a bevy of creative musical artists who traverse diverse forms: from the intriguing waters of experimentalism and the avant-garde to forward-reaching jazz and other modes that are expanding our vision of music both in and outside of Chicago.</p>
<p>Compound Yellow, in Chicago’s Oak Park neighborhood, has long been a site for visual art exhibitions of all kinds. Its emphasis on the artist as a protagonist who incites our impulses to challenge the status quo, and considers brighter alternatives, reminds all that taking risks and new steps is what keeps our arts and social circles truly alive.<br />
Join us then as we embark on bold new adventures in sound &amp; space with a series of outdoor concerts held safely in our colorful, art-adorned yard.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2022/07/side-yard-sounds-aaron-shapiro/">Side Yard Sounds: Aaron Shapiro</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>MEGA LAVERNE &amp; SHIRLEY (巨拉夫恩和謝莉) is a band birthed from the fictitious art scene known as big TEEN. big TEEN bands revel in aesthetics of distraction, multiplicity, and metatheatrics.</p>
<p>MEGA LAVERNE &amp; SHIRLEY (巨拉夫恩和謝莉) embrace this artistic framework with monolithic performances that incorporate synthesizers, MIDI, multilingual declamations, choreography informed by Chinese calligraphy, baked goods, and LED light worship. That is, MEGA LAVERNE &amp; SHIRLEY (巨拉夫恩和謝莉) overwhelm their audience in the hopes of bringing them into a new kind of focus; a transcendence through multitasking and confusion. It&#8217;s like witnessing a monumental event happen in two parallel universes simultaneously, or watching an episode of Laverne &amp; Shirley in two languages.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are invited by i/thee and Compound Yellow to the opening party for “Side Yard(s)”. This month-long exhibition will feature speculative models and drawings by our summer Astral Residents, i/thee and will act as an opportunity to provide feedback and share ideas as we generate drawings and plans to enrich and enliven the Side Yard as a performance and gathering space.</p>
<p>i/thee is a family and friends design collaborative with projects around the world. Our designs celebrate the co-sentience of everything in the environment; living and non-living; past and present; I and thee.</p>
<p>Where some wish to draw distinctions, we wish to shed light on what we all have in common: to demonstrate that the appearance of difference is an illusion. Within this universe, there are not many things but just one thing: one life, one love, one eternally temporary moment. The world is not made up of separate entities and forces that sometimes overlap; rather, all things are born from the same circle with one boundary—a perfectly overlapping venn diagram containing all there is.<br />
Drinks and refreshments provided!</p>
<p>Hey friends of CY and the Side Yard Sounds series!</p>
<p>We are very excited to take some time this summer to imagine, design, dream, draw, and ideate together with fellow artists, musicians and neighbors! How can we enhance the experience of listening, learning, viewing and gathering at Compound Yellow&#8217;s side yard through the creation of public infrastructure to hopefully be built next year? Come by and see what i/thee, our current summer artists in Astral residency have proposed, give us your feedback and thoughts and add proposals of your own!</p>
<p>A catalogue of our communal ideas will be produced as a part of the residency! This event will take place in the gallery and is free to the public.</p>
<p>Hope to see you July 2nd, anytime between 2pm and 6pm, meet the design team i/thee in person, have some snacks and fun with us and STAY for the enchanting music of Sinner&#8217;s Friend! Sinner&#8217;s friend is an Old Time band with a percussive twist. From Chicago, its members are Claire Halpin (fiddle) Aron Packer (banjo) Michael Dinges (guitar) and Quinn Kearney (tablas).</p>
<p>Opening for Sinner&#8217;s Friend is multimedia artist Spencer Hutchinson who will be performing a 15-minute collaborative recital of experimental sound piece, &#8220;On Second Thought&#8221;, a sonic interpretation of Marcel Duchamp&#8217;s famous stool with a bicycle wheel utilizing an oscillating fan and a professional violinist whose name happens to be Tim Hager.</p>
<p>Tickets are $15, see event on CY facebook for details!</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2022/07/i-thee-side-yards-a-public-model-exhibition-town-hall/">i/thee: Side Yard(s): A PUBLIC MODEL EXHIBITION & TOWN HALL</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please join us at the Compound Yellow side yard for Sinner&#8217;s Friend and a 15 minute opening performance by Spencer Hutchinson as part of the Side Yard Sounds series, 2022!<br />
Saturday July 2nd, 7pm<br />
#244 Lake street<br />
Oak Park, IL<br />
BYOB<br />
This performance will be held outside, space is limited so please come early to reserve your seat, $15 through Ticketleap, or at the door, cash, Venmo and PayPal accepted, proceeds go to the artists!<br />
Rain dates TBA</p>
<p>Sinner’s Friend is a five-piece string and percussion band that merges the old and new with fiddle tunes and traditional songs from the past, along with recent covers and original material.</p>
<p>Sinner’s sound evokes a cross-cultural mix that will surprise and engage the audience and expand their listening experience. The backbeat of tablas and percussive elements add a rhythmic sound making the sound unique.</p>
<p>Formed over a decade ago, Sinner’s Friend are Claire Halpin (fiddle, vocals) Aron Packer (banjo, vocals) Michael Dinges (guitar) Quinn Kearney (tablas) and Paul Zimmermann (percussion and vocals)</p>
<p>Spencer Hutchinson:<br />
Come see the collaborative recital of multimedia artist Spencer Hutchinson&#8217;s experimental sound piece, &#8220;On Second Thought&#8221;, a sonic interpretation Marcel Duchamp&#8217;s famous stool with a bicycle wheel utilizing an oscillating fan and a professional violinist who&#8217;s name happens to be Tim Hager. The piece was first performed at CY in 2017 and is being re-presented by popular demand. The violinist, Tim Hager&#8217; has been asked to listen to the motor of the fan and to interpret it&#8217;s sound using the violin. The sound of the motor and the sound of the violin are fed into a loop pedal where they are recorded and played back repeatedly over the course of the piece building on top of itself ad nauseum. Tim&#8217;s movements and stance echo those of the violin and arouse notions of our connection to technology, the representational nature of music, how technology imitates life and vice versa. The performance is approximately 10-15 min.</p><p>The post <a href="http://thevisualist.org/2022/07/side-yard-sounds-2022-presenst-sinners-friend-opening-performance-by-spencer-hutchinson/">Side Yard Sounds 2022 presents Sinner’s Friend + opening performance by Spencer Hutchinson</a> first appeared on <a href="http://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
