Refreshments provided. “Dialogue” artist talk with Michael Coppage to follow at 2:30 p.m. in Altgeld Hall 125.</p> <p>About Michael Coppage:</p> <p>Cincinnati-based artist Michael Coppage has been exploring the impact of words and the negative connotations often associated with the word “black.” His Black Box Project depicts frontal portraits of black men wearing black t-shirts with suggestive phrases beginning with the word Black such as “Black Sheep,” “Black Mail,” “Black Death,” etc.. These photos are accompanied by podcast interviews with each of the individuals exploring the phrase and allowing the listener to begin to get to know the person depicted as an individual.</p> <p>Coppage will speak about the development and evolution of the “Black Box” project in its various venue iterations.</p> </div> <p>“The Remaining, Mourn…” is a group exhibition addressing the experience of grieving as seen through the lens of nine artists’ practices. Through tactile artworks, they address both individual and collective loss. Holding materials as one would onto someone lost, these artists use various techniques to freeze a moment, allowing themselves time to process what remains as well as what is gone. Their materials, and the memories and emotions they evoke, become the “language” the artist use to create their own rituals to navigate grief/mourning and work toward healing.</p> <p>The artists featured in this exhibition include Selva Aparicio, Michael Chambers, April Dauscha, Salvador Jiménez-Flores, Millicent Kennedy, Allen Moore, Monika Plioplyte, Nirmal Raja and Anne Wilson.</p> <p>Cumulatively, these works and the stories they tell remind us that we—from family to community to civilization—are united by our vulnerability.</p> <p>Curated by Michael Chambers and Millicent Kennedy.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2023/10/closing-reception-for-dialogue-and-the-remaining-mourn/">Closing Reception for “Dialogue” and “The Remaining, Mourn…”</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2023/10/closing-reception-for-dialogue-and-the-remaining-mourn/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">151505</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Second Sun</title> <link>https://thevisualist.org/2023/09/second-sun/</link> <comments>https://thevisualist.org/2023/09/second-sun/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[flor123]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 15 Sep 2023 23:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Exhibition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reception]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Backspace Gallery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DeKalb]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jack Arends Hall]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Northern Illinois University]]></category> <category><![CDATA[School of Art and Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Second Sun]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sonya Bogdanova]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thevisualist.org/?p=149728</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>A finch flies over a sea of sand, near what we call Alamogordo, New Mexico.

The finch looks through patches of dissipating clouds at the sand many miles below. A storm’s aftermath is in the air, and the fiery sun is slowly rising. The clouds cast strange shadows on the sand. The finch suddenly sees red, and is then blinded and ceases to exist. One cloud turns red, purple, finally blue. This cloud was a dream, and this dream keeps occurring throughout the world.</p> <p>Sonya Bogdanova works in the space between sculpture and painting to understand the icon’s afterlife. She connects icons from the natural world with those of the manufactured, to approach a deep vision of disputed human history. Bogdanova is interested in devices that conceal a system’s workings. Her objects, made of common things like clay, pigment and refuse, serve as passageways to hidden transformative places. Skeptical of established political narratives, she makes sculptures and installations that transmit suppressed knowledge, feelings, and behaviors.</p> <p>Bogdanova is a Russian-Jewish immigrant who came to the US after the collapse of the USSR. Based in Chicago, she has shown in the US, UK, and South Korea. Selected exhibitions include the Chicago Cultural Center, Mana Contemporary (Chicago), Ignition Projects (Chicago), No Nation Tangential Unspace Art Lab (Chicago), Random Access Gallery (Syracuse, NY), Gallery 400 (Chicago), and Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (Gimpo, South Korea). She was an artist-in-residence at Holly & the Neighbors in 2021 and at Jiwar Foundation in Barcelona in 2015. Bogdanova holds an MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago and BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is a professor and educator at SAIC, Wright College, CAPE, and Marwen in Chicago.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2023/09/second-sun/">Second Sun</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2023/09/second-sun/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">149728</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Dialogue</title> <link>https://thevisualist.org/2023/09/dialogue-2/</link> <comments>https://thevisualist.org/2023/09/dialogue-2/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[flor123]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 07 Sep 2023 22:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Exhibition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reception]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Alan Cohen]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DeKalb]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dialogue]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Illinois]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jo Burke]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Michael Coppage]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Northern Illinois University (NIU) Art Museum]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tonika Lewis Johnson]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thevisualist.org/?p=148753</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The concept of dialogue allows for issue awareness and resolution through listening.

From the enormous amount of bytes of information constantly being produced, collected and analyzed; to the notion that decisions are made objectively when based on data; to the nuanced means of making numerical information comprehensible and compelling through graphic and physical representation, BIG/-driven/Visualized… explores the data in our lives.</p> <p>The exhibition has a range of artists engaged with data visualization.

But advances in machine learning are making it easier and easier for chatbots and robots to become real companions to humans and to acquire a personality (or multiple personalities) in doing so. Mostly such companionship is benign and helpful but as both systems acquire more and more data about the humans they serve they may also assimilate human-like personality disorders. This presentation will explore the actual and potential expression of human like forms of excessive compulsive behavior in chatbots and robots and suggest ways that humans can cope with these disturbing syndromes.</p> <p>5:05-6 p.m., Altgeld 125</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2019/05/when-data-has-a-personality-chatbots-and-robots/">When Data has a Personality: Chatbots and Robots</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2019/05/when-data-has-a-personality-chatbots-and-robots/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">97292</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Stephen Cartwright: Floating Data</title> <link>https://thevisualist.org/2019/04/stephen-cartwright-floating-data/</link> <comments>https://thevisualist.org/2019/04/stephen-cartwright-floating-data/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hannah McHugh]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:01 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Exhibition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Talk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DeKalb]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Floating Data]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Northern Illinois University Art Museum]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stephen Cartwright]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thevisualist.org/?p=96044</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Floating Data Artist’s Talk, Stephen Cartwright, Associate Professor, School of Art + Design, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. 5:05 – 6 p.m., Altgeld Hall 125 About the exhibition DATA: BIG/-driven/Visualized Rotunda, North and South Galleries Data: BIG/-driven/Visualized… is a multidimensional exhibition that delves into the array of manner in which data surrounds us, impacts us<a href="https://thevisualist.org/2019/04/stephen-cartwright-floating-data/" class="read-more">Continue Reading</a></p> <p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2019/04/stephen-cartwright-floating-data/">Stephen Cartwright: Floating Data</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Floating Data<br /> Artist’s Talk, Stephen Cartwright, Associate Professor, School of Art + Design, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign.<br /> 5:05 – 6 p.m., Altgeld Hall 125</p> <p>About the exhibition</p> <p>DATA: BIG/-driven/Visualized<br /> Rotunda, North and South Galleries<br /> Data: BIG/-driven/Visualized… is a multidimensional exhibition that delves into the array of manner in which data surrounds us, impacts us and is interpreted.

Overwhelming and prolonged presence of dark emotions can make us lose a sense of self, become disoriented, disconnected from the rest of the world. While we are within that experience it might be hard to imagine feeling differently. Therefore a time like this can be like a never-ending night.</p> <p>A complete press release with the detailed description of the show is attached to this email and can also be found at the following link: http://www.mariadimanshtein.com/2012/10/what-long-night-it-has-been-press.html</p> <p>Participating artists include: Ashley Barreda, Bogumil Bronkowski, Natalie Brulc, Ryan Burns, Maria Dimanshtein, Juan Fernandez, William Fillmore, Emily Franklin, Mary Hinzen, Natasha Holmes, Jeremiah Johnson, Joshua Johnson, Jason Judd, Anna Miller, Liz Nielsen, Leah Bedrosian Peterson, Tessa Shackelford, Amelia Spinney, Sara Willadsen, Anne Yafi, Gwendolyn Zabicki.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2012/10/what-a-long-night-it-has-been/">What A Long Night It Has Been</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thevisualist.org/2012/10/what-a-long-night-it-has-been/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">13207</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss>
