										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up &amp; Up is a collaborative kite project led by Nöel Morical and Christina Sadovnikov involving over 50 artists from various locations. The initiative was inspired by a desire to create a community-centered art project that engages with contemporary art in a unique way. Each artist created 1-2 kites to be flown collectively in Chicago, creating a rich tapestry of kites in the sky.</p>
<p>The history of kites as symbols of defiance and liberation, and tools for uplifting spirits through play is central to our project. We are mindful of the symbolic significance of kites flown in Palestine and stand in solidarity by denouncing the genocide against the people of Palestine. We strongly oppose the Israeli occupation of Gaza and its support backed by the U.S. government. We fly our kites to acknowledge the volatile injustices many Palestinians are facing and offer pathways for cultivating hope and solidarity with them during this time.</p>
<p>Our goal is to encourage more events prioritizing creative practices that engage with public spaces and spark meaningful dialogues with contemporary art outside of institutional settings. Through fostering new experiences among diverse participants and viewers, Up &amp; Up aims to unite communities for critical conversations via collective play, drawing on a range of diverse perspectives.</p>

<p>14 is considered a karmic number. Karmic numbers can represent challenges you need to face in your life, as well as the potential for growth and positive change. They are sending you an important message about the different ways your life may change. Karmic debt number 14 is one of the most challenging numbers in the entire numerology system as it is closely associated with hope and fear. For people with this number, it is essential to remain modest to overcome their karmic debt to live freely.</p>
<p>In American tradition, the 14th wedding anniversary gift is ivory. Ivory was one the first materials used to replace lost teeth. These dentures would often decay inside the users’ mouths, but would almost always get the job done.</p>
<p>Opening: Saturday, March 9th, 6-9PM</p>
<p>Extended EXPO hours: Friday, April 12, 5-8PM / Saturday, April 13, 1-4PM</p>
<p>Closing Reception: Sunday, April 14th, 1-4PM</p>
<p>Gallery hours are Sundays 1-4 pm and can also be made by appointment.

<p><i>“In another place, another town</i><br />
<i>You were just a face in the crowd”</i></p>
<p>– Tom Petty</p>
<p><i>Face in the Crowd</i> strives to conjure the simple pleasure of meandering through throngs of people. The exhibition brings together artists working in portraiture in all forms to create a dense crowd in the gallery. The passing feelings of familiarity, novelty, and chance alight upon the audience as their eyes travel through the unique and unified collective of faces.</p>

<p><i>“In another place, another town</i><br />
<i>You were just a face in the crowd”</i></p>
<p>– Tom Petty</p>
<p><i>Face in the Crowd</i> strives to conjure the simple pleasure of meandering through throngs of people. The exhibition brings together artists working in portraiture in all forms to create a dense crowd in the gallery. The passing feelings of familiarity, novelty, and chance alight upon the audience as their eyes travel through the unique and unified collective of faces.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baby Blue Gallery is pleased to present Disoriented Awareness an exhibition of works by Jan Brugger, Matt Mancini, and Alessandra Norman. Their pieces mix symbols, images, and references which are then embodied into various art-objects. Each artist employs an array of techniques that undercut perceptual stability and a fixed meaning. This is reflective of the current cultural moment where there is a growing consciousness of technology&#8217;s distortive influence and a social terrain that is becoming increasingly fractured. The materialization of this into art-objects and an exhibition allows for critical examination and recontextualizing of these themes.</p>
<p>Jan Brugger makes digital works, animations, and sculptural installations that test the screen’s influence on the human body and mind. She received her MFA from the University of Chicago and her BFA from the University of Wisconsin. Her work has recently shown at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (WI), Mana Contemporary (Chicago, IL and Jersey City, NJ), the 57th Ann Arbor Film Festival (MI), Roman Susan (Chicago, IL), Aggregate Space Gallery (San Francisco, CA), and the Feminist Media Studio at Concordia University (Montreal, QC). Brugger was awarded fellowships and residencies at the Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago, IL), the University of Chicago (IL), and Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond).</p>
<p>Matt Mancini is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator born in Philadelphia, PA. He currently lives and works in Chicago, IL where he is the director of the wood and metal facilities at the University of Illinois Chicago. He recently completed his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2014 and holds a BFA from Rutgers University. He has recently shown at Peana Projects in Mexico, Little Berlin in Philadelphia, Casa Blanca in Puerto Rico, and Julius Caesar, LVL3, Chicago Artist Coalition, Heaven Gallery, and Roots and Culture in Chicago.</p>
<p>Alessandra Norman is a Chicago based artist working in print media and sculpture. She makes work that seeks to interrogate notions we hold across realities &#8211; cultural, linguistic, phenomenological. Alessandra is a co-founder of the collaborative art lab, Gesamtkunst Werkshop, and together with her partner maintains a collection of over 90 species of cacti and other xerophytic plants. She recently graduated from the School of the Art Institute with an MFA in Studio Art.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2019/08/disoriented-awareness/">Disoriented Awareness</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to present Artificial Life, a HATCH Projects exhibition featuring new experimentations by Azadeh Gholizadeh, Matt Mancini, Gülşah Mursaloğlu, Jeff Prokash, Anna Showers-Cruser, and Joseph Wilcox.</p>
<p>In 1989, punk-ska band Operation Ivy released their only full-length album Hectic. Although the band was only active for two years, their songs have achieved cult following, record sales and re-releases selling in the hundred-thousands, defining a genre of music for decades. Op Ivy lyrics are characterized by themes of social justice and disinterest in conforming with mainstream culture or social norms. The song &#8220;Artificial Life&#8221; airs frustrations with the music industry during the age of MTV mania. The exhibition title takes reference from this song because of a shared frustration with systems of power within creative industries and a strong desire to resist conforming to the expected roles of the arts industry. Artificial Life in someway also nods to a seemingly hypocritical position of rejecting a particular ideology yet still willingly or unwillingly participating in that system.</p>
<p>The artists and artworks are all vastly different but remain united in space/time because of their willing participation in the HATCH program, a residency well known for its power to professionally elevate emerging artists, foster community and encourage experimentation. Rather than fulfilling an expectation to extract links of meaning that build an overarching theme to represent a whole, this exhibition is an experiment, working to bring value to each artist and their expanded community as a direct action. Born from frustration with the art market and the serpentine power structures it’s hinged upon, the exhibition aims to exploit the pillars of value that currently uphold the contemporary art world for the advancement of the individually emerging artists of the coalition and subsequent betterment of the Chicago artist network. With reflections on After Art by David Joselit and Ways of Curating by Hans-Ulrich Obrist, the three-week run of the installation is a durational challenge to forge new relationships to one another and to build value that agrees with our respective vision for the future.</p>
<p>Artificial Life is organized and activated by Meg T. Noe.</p>

Gholizadeh was a resident at the BOLT Residency and ACRE.</p>
<p>Matt Mancini was born in Philadelphia, PA. He currently lives and works in Chicago, IL. He recently completed his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2014 and holds a BFA from Rutgers University.

<p>Anna Showers-Cruser (MFA &#8217;16, University of Chicago, BFA &#8217;11, Maryland Institute College of Art) hails from Virginia and creates hybrid forms that most often propose non-hegemonic expressions of gender. ASC is interested in the possibility of calling on abstraction through sculpture, fibers, craft, and painting traditions, in order to build a lexicon of community language. ASC expands sculpturally on the foundation of known forms in Queer history. Humor, body modification, protest, psychology, sexual politics, and drugstore cosmetics are intrinsic to the work. Solo shows include Sweet Betweens (2016) at HUME in Chicago and an upcoming show at Purdue University, Hammond, IN in summer of 2017.</p>
<p>Joseph Wilcox is an artist living and breathing in Chicago. Adopting the roles of image gatherer, object maker, documentarian, curator, and organizer, his practice explores how institutional control and social power structures undermine the autonomy of the individual.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to present A Rainbow in Curved Air, featuring HATCH Artist Residents Lesley Jackson, Meg Leary, and Matt Mancini.</p>
<p>“And then all wars ended / Arms of every kind were outlawed and the masses gladly contributed them to giant foundries in which they were melted down and the metal poured back into the earth / The Pentagon was turned on its side and painted purple, yellow &amp; green / All boundaries were dissolved / The slaughter of animals was forbidden / The whole of lower Manhattan became a meadow in which unfortunates from the Bowery were allowed to live out their fantasies in the sunshine and were cured &#8230;”</p>
<p>This is excerpted from the liner notes of composer Terry Riley&#8217;s groundbreaking 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air, a masterpiece of both keyboard virtuosity and improvisation. Somewhere in the mix of technical mastery and the free-wheeling, hippy spirit emerges a utopian vision not only of peace but of personal happiness and pleasure. We often find improvisation steeped in utopian idealism. Sun Ra&#8217;s revolutionary free jazz, for instance, spawned the Afro-futurist ethos of intergalactic emancipation, but it&#8217;s important to remember that Sun Ra valued &#8220;precision and discipline” over total freedom. Matt Mancini, Lesley Jackson, and Meg Leary harness the extemporaneity of lived experience and channel it through carefully structured forms to evoke an alternative to the bleak political quagmires of this era.</p>
<p>A Rainbow in Curved Air is curated by Danny Floyd.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2017/10/a-rainbow-in-curved-air/">A Rainbow in Curved Air</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Both shows investigate the relationship of images in space and digital space in images.</p>
<p>Mancini, Smith, and Rubins overlapped at SAIC in the sculpture MFA program, often exploring digital space and imagery as inspiration for their sculptures. Since graduating, Rubins has left for LA and Smith has moved to NYC. Flare Gun brings the three young sculptors together again.</p>
<p>Signal Call’s Lilli Carre, Erin Hayden, and Monica Nydam are recent MFA graduates from around Chicago. Carre and Hayden finished at Northwestern, while Nydam attended UIC. All three have prominently featured the use of digital space and internet imagery in their work.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2016/08/flare-gun-signal-call/">Flare Gun / Signal Call</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The city of Amarillo, also known as “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” was originally named after the wildflowers that grew in bounty along the countryside. The flowers flirted with the water in Amarillo Lake, turning the soil a cool yellow. Decades later, those open plains grew few and far between and a new nickname developed. Now known as “Bomb City,” Amarillo is home to the largest nuclear weapons assembly plant in the country.</p>
<p>A place romanticized in old country ballads, where all the cowboys longed to be, Amarillo is just like any other paradise, riddled with contradictions, unfulfilled promises, and much too hot to stand still.</p>
<p>Like a cowboy moving towards the sun, we too are profoundly restless, trying to escape wherever it is we find ourselves. We move around, never quite present, or we stay where we are and dream up what’s missing. We look to the past, back to the open plains, when the present seems too frightening.</p>
<p>So if paradise is eternally elsewhere, what are we supposed to do while we’re here?</p>
<p>Lesley Jackson is an artist living and working in Chicago. She graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a BFA in 2013. Recently her work has been shown at Cornerstore Gallery, Born Nude Gallery (solo), and Nada New York with SPF15 Exhibitions. Forthcoming projects include a show at Efrain Lopez Gallery in December, and a solo exhibition with 4th Ward Projects in the Spring of 2017.</p>
<p>Matt Mancini is a contemporary artist working in sculpture and painting. He currently lives and works in Chicago, IL.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2016/07/amarillo/">Amarillo</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;So often digital presence seems to imply absence. Few illumations are as lonely as the gently glowing unattended monitor, mute and suggestive of a distant rage. So much of &acirc;&#128;&#156;ink jet art&acirc;&#128;&#157; for all its technical wiz bang is unmoving. The present day cuddling of digitally guided cutting and layering tools, C&amp;C&acirc;&#128;&#153;s and 3D printers, may inevitably and surprisingly quickly loose a lot of their seductive gloss.</p>
<p>Maybe we ask for too much. It&acirc;&#128;&#153;s only technology. And yet the possibilities of new conversations continue to engage and are at times are delightful. Reassuringly, artists are yet again called upon to put &acirc;&#128;&#156;Us&acirc;&#128;&#157; back in the picture, a picture that we really never left. The trajectory is reassuring; once the initial hot flashes of awe pass we question the longer nature of the relationship, what can we do with it now? what&acirc;&#128;&#153;s in it for me? can it speak my language? will it share? how do we talk about it? Digital production has become an actor rather than a director, and that&acirc;&#128;&#153;s character, not leading man&#8230;</p>

<p>Matt Mancini was born in Philadelphia, PA. He currently lives and works in Chicago, IL. He recently completed his MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the sculpture department and holds a BFA from Rutgers University. He creates material rich and optically vibrant work in a hybrid of formats spanning between sculpture, installation, and painting.</p>
<p>Katie Pennachio is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Her recent paintings are deeply rooted in the image space of the computer screen and a contrasting devotion to the hand and the physical process of layering paint. Having previously exhibited her work in New York City and New Brunswick, New Jersey, this is her first time showing in Chicago. Pennachio received her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University and her BFA from New York University. She was also an artist in residence and fellowship recipient at Vermont Studio Center.</p><p>The post <a href="https://thevisualist.org/2015/10/feel-flows/">Matt Mancini & Katie Pennachio: Feel Flows</a> first appeared on <a href="https://thevisualist.org">The Visualist</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ballroom Projects presents Orange You Glad!<br />
featuring Dan Mrva, Claire Ashley, Matt Mancini<br />
curated by Danny Floyd</p>
<p>Opening June 13 7:00-10:00pm<br />
and continuing through July 4.</p>
<p>Humor is usually considered an art of representation. A classic, “What&#8217;s the deal with&#8230;” Seinfeld joke for instance, hopes to clearly depict a situation you know already so that you can relate to it. But this isn&#8217;t a hard and fast rule and certainly doesn&#8217;t ensure the joke is funny (sorry, Jerry). Puns, on the other hand, are works of abstraction. Their meaning lies in shifting the form of language away from it&#8217;s intended use. The artists in Orange You Glad! are also engaging in formal play, shifting between sculptural and painting forms, and like crafting comedy, they are relying on their wit and intellect to do so. While abstraction is the prominent feature of this exhibition, it is not a “show about nothing.” Rather, the work is about reveling in the joys of visual play, irreverence, and absurdity.</p>
