Gahlberg Gallery at College of DuPage Dianna Frid: The Forces That Shape Them Opening reception: Thursday, June 4, 6 to 8 p.m.                            Dianna Frid makes works that stem from existing images, diagrams and places. These existing things are submitted to vivid material and formal shifts that allow for new empirical experiences of the familiar. For her project in the gallery, Frid made works that acknowledge the existing glass panes that separate the gallery from the lobby by making the space a penetrable vitrine that positions itself within a larger atrium.

Caroline Picard @ mini dutch (and some sad news)

It is with a heavy heart that I present the near end of mini dutch. Due to some family health issues, I will be leaving Chicago and moving to Los Angeles at the end of summer. It has been very challenging for me to come to this desicision, but in the end, I know that I need to be with my family during this difficult time. (read more)  

mini dutch gallery presents…

Caroline Picard, Twilight of the Vanities 
Opening Saturday, May 30th from 7-10pm
Show runs until Sunday, June 28th
Reading on Sunday, June 14th, from 3-6pm

 
Caroline Picard is working a new novel entitled "Happy Endings." This work-in-progress is about a group of hipsters living in Philadelphia and the events which led them to their current position in life. Entangling shallow personalities are complicated with transparent glimmers of childhood. The past becomes present, flattening out through night-time banter and its invariable avoidance of grief. The present has to lead somewhere.

To accompany "Happy Endings," Picard will show a series of "portraits" based on peripheral characters in the book. She combines aspects of drawing, gouache, and collage into beautifully delicate compositions. These abstract works serve as intuitive meditations of the characters she has constructed. A fleshy pallet with spikes of black, hot pink, blue and gold mix together to form intricate pattern work; in each painting, specific aesthetics of each individual are recomposed into an ornate and impenetrable surface.  The gouache mingles with swatches of dollhouse wallpaper, connecting the character's present personas to their early years.

Fifty hand bound copies of the book will be available for purchase for $20.
 

And then, outside, on the stoop with all of his dumb bags all over again, everyone else inside because they aren't ready to leave yet, Tobias just starts to cry. Finally. And he can't get up even thou gh he feels stupid crying in the midst this city, and all its people—all its pretty people with funny clothes and fancy tattoos and stylish jokes—all of his fans, he can't help but cry and when he finally does he can't stop until Fletcher finally finds him in the eaves of a doorway to a store that's closed for the night. And then Fletcher finally hugs him and tells him that it's going to be alright. I promise, buddy, we'll get through this.

Caroline Picard is the Founding Director of The Green Lantern Gallery & Press and a Co-Editor for the literary podcast The Parlor . Her writing has been published in a handful of publications including Featherproof's mini books, NewCity, the Chicago Art Journal Review and Proximity Magazine. Her artwork has been shown at an array of alternative venues, not limited to COMA, artXposium and a solo show at Around the Coyote.

Chicago Artists Month 2009 - May 15 Deadline!

REMINDER: Deadline is MAY 15! Dear Chicago Artists and Arts Organizations: On behalf of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs,we would like to invite you to participate in the 14th annual Chicago Artists Month 2009, the citywide celebration of our vibrant and diverse visual arts community. Each October, over 200 events ranging from exhibitions to open studio tours and neighborhood art walks take place at museums, galleries, cultural centers and other locations throughout the city. The primary goal of Chicago Artists Month (CAM) is to better acquaint the public with Chicago's artists and their work and to raise awareness of the quality and depth of our visual arts community. This year, there are a few changes in the works that will affect not only the application process, but the way in which we will get the word out about your programs. Unlike years before, we will not be printing a comprehensive brochure listing all the events. Instead, we will be using the Chicago Artists Month website, in conjunction with www.ChicagoArtistsResource.org (CAR) and its calendar section, to promote the participating events in Chicago Artists Month 2009. We will develop and implement a marketing campaign that will drive the public to the website for the complete calendar of CAM events. This year's theme, "Chicago Artists Month 2.0," refers to the concepts of interactivity and connectivity associated with Web 2.0, and highlights the ways in which artists interact with their audiences, interface with other artists, and use technology in order to create and distribute their work - locally, globally and virtually. Related programs might include exhibitions of interactive artwork, projects that involve artistic collaboration, or work that invites audience feedback, with or without the use of technology. You are encouraged (though not required) to use this theme as you plan your October program. To participate, please go to www.chicagoartistsmonth.org for the participation guidelines and 2009 online "Intent to Participate" form. Then, submit your form by the May 15 deadline. Once approved, each participating organization will then be asked to add their own program content to the Chicago Artists Resource website. From the submissions received, 12 programs will be selected as "featured programs" and will receive additional visibility. Please note: In order to be considered as a featured program, you must complete the "Intent to Participate Form" with all of the details of your event by the May 15 deadline. Programs that address this year's theme are most likely to be selected as features. Lastly, we would like to invite you to a meeting on Thursday, April 23 at 3:30pm to go over these changes and procedures, as well as to provide time for your organization to network and find possible partners for your Chicago Artists Month program. The meeting will take place at the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington, 5th Floor. Feel free to forward this invitation to others and to contact Leigh Fagin by email at leigh.fagin@cityofchicago.org with any questions. We look forward to hearing about your plans for October and appreciate your support of Chicago's artists and Chicago Artists Month.   This e-mail was sent from Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs Immediate removal with PatronMail® SecureUnsubscribe.

We are asking for your input in developing a plan to help us achieve this goal.

Click here for more information. Featured CAR Artist and Arts Professional Stories :: Dance :: Jonathan Meyer Jonathan Meyer Rethinking the Non-Profit Model With four hours of business management for every hour of work in the studio, and a day job to pay the bills, what keeps one going through the years? You think, "Yeah, I can work 60, 70 hours a week, learn to do my own graphic design, figure out quickbooks and ask those people for money". It will pay off, is the unspoken idea. The metaphor that came to me was that this work is like push-starting a car. Exhausting, yes, but at some point, you'll get to the top of a hill. Right? More... :: Music :: Michael Zerang Michael Zerang Can you describe how your career in Chicago began? The thing that I loved about growing up as an artist in Chicago was the "Do-It-Yourself" vibe here. It was a relatively cheap place to live, and at least in music, there was always a place to perform, and there was always an audience. Coupled with that, there are a lot of great artists here. And there always have been. So it was a really great place to develop. More... :: Theater :: Mark Sutton Mark Sutton Trying to use up all the funny You know how some people seem to always have really ridiculous things happen to them? Do comedians have different experiences than normal .... or do they just see normal things in a different way? I've joked with other improv actors that we see the same thing other people see, but when we react to it or retell it, we just take it seven steps further. We just can't let it go until we've tried to use all the funny. More... :: Visual :: Kate Lorenz, Hyde Park Art Center Kate Lorenz, Associate Director, Hyde Park Art Center Planning is essential, plans are useless. Like most good things in life, my career in the arts has happened largely by accident. When asked to give advice on how to get a job in the arts, I usually tell people to find ways to spend time doing what interests them and opportunities will present themselves. This advice draws from my own experience, so take it with a grain of salt. More...
