Lisa Lapinski: Miss Swiss Book Launch and Conversation
@ Inga
1740 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, March 2nd, from 5:30PM - 7:30PM
Join us for a conversation with Lisa Lapinski, Catherine Sullivan, and Eli Greene around Lisa Lapinski: Miss Swiss, Lapinski’s most comprehensive monograph to date. Lisa Lapinski is an artist living and working in Houston, Texas. She received her BA from University of California, San Diego, an MFA from Art Center College of Design and is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Rice University. She was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004.
Published on the occasion of Drunk Hawking, her 2020 mid-career survey at Visual Arts Center (VAC) at the University of Texas at Austin, the book will include never before published images of Lapinski’s exhibitions and artworks from 2000 to the present. Miss Swiss features contributions by Bruce Hainley, Graham Bader, Kyle Dancewicz, Sabrina Tarasoff, and MacKenzie Stevens, as well as a conversation between the artist and linguist Viola Schmitt. Designed by artists Laura Owens and Asha Schechter of Apogee Graphics, the book is an inventive collaboration between Owens, Schechter, and Lapinski, providing new insights into Lapinski’s influential and idiosyncratic practice.
Catherine Sullivan (via https://art21.org/artist/catherine-sullivan/)
Catherine Sullivan was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1968. She earned a BFA from the California Institute of Arts, Valencia (1992), and an MFA from the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena (1997). Sullivan’s anxiety-inducing films and live performances reveal the degree to which everyday gestures and emotional states are scripted and performed, probing the border between innate and learned behavior. Under Sullivan’s direction, actors perform seemingly erratic, seizure-like jumps between gestures and emotional states—all of which follow a rehearsed, numerically derived script.
Eli Greene (via https://regardsgallery.com/walk-into-a-bar/)
Eli Greene lives in Chicago. Recent exhibition sites include Produce Model (Chicago), Goldfinch (Chicago), the Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago) and the Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago. Greene as a Summer Artist in Residence at Apparatus Projects (Chicago). This is her first showing at Regards where she will have a solo exhibition in January 2024.
