Sarah Kavage: Nourishment & Place
@ InCUBATE @ The Orientation Center
2129 N Rockwell St, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Sunday, December 20th, from 6PM - 9PM
InCUBATE, the Stockyard Institute and Sarah Kavage invite you to join us for a dinner symposium in honor of the life, work and spirit of Michael Piazza.
Space is limited. Please RSVP to sarah@gogoweb.com.
The winter solstice is a time of rebirth, manifestation of ideas, and new beginnings. This final event in the Orientation Center space, on the eve of the solstice, will gather friends and supporters together to talk about how place and nourishment intertwine with creative practice.
The evening will feature presentations by and about two artists whose work relates to both themes. Jim Duignan of the Stockyard Institute will be talking about the work and life of his longtime collaborator Michael Piazza, to whom this symposium is dedicated. Piazza worked tirelessly to nourish the people and neighborhoods around him, especially those whose voices tend to be ignored and marginalized. Sarah Kavage, InCUBATE’s Michael Piazza resident, will be discussing her project-in-progress Industrial Harvest: an exploration of growth, exchange and rebirth in three Acts. Industrial Harvest will begin with the purchase of 1000 bushels of wheat on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The wheat will be distributed around the Chicago area in a series of events that will transform this “commodity” back into something that is nourishing and enriching – its true nature. Rather than an investment by a broker, this wheat will become an investment in people and places.
