    Contact C.J. Lind | 773.702.0176 | [email protected] For Immediate Release “One of the most important Midwestern contributions to the development of American art” MONSTER ROSTER: EXISTENTIALIST ART IN POSTWAR CHICAGO RECEIVES FIRST MAJOR EXHIBITION, AT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO’S SMART MUSEUM OF ART, FEBRUARY 11 – JUNE 12, 2016 Related programming highlights include film screenings, monthly Family Day activities, and a Monster Mash Up expert panel discussion (January 11, 2016) The Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, 5550 S. Greenwood Avenue, will mount Monster Roster: Existentialist Art in Postwar Chicago, the first-ever major exhibition to examine the history and impact of the Monster Roster, a group of postwar artists that established the first unique Chicago style, February 11–June 12, 2016. The exhibition is curated by John Corbett and Jim Dempsey, independent curators and gallery owners; Jessica Moss, Smart Museum Curator of Contemporary Art; and Richard A. Born, Smart Museum Senior Curator. Monster Roster officially opens with a free public reception, Wednesday, February 10, 7–9pm featuring an in-gallery performance by the Josh Berman Trio. The Monster Roster was a fiercely independent group of mid-century artists, spearheaded by Leon Golub (1922–2004), which created deeply psychological works drawing on classical mythology, ancient art, and a shared persistence in depicting the figure during a period in which abstraction held sway in international art circles. “The Monster Roster represents the first group of artists in Chicago to assert its own style and approach—one not derived from anywhwere else—and is one of the most important Midwestern contributions to the development of American art,” said co-curator John Corbett.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • In 1981, the Artist David Hammons and the Photographer Dawoud Bey Found Themselves at Richard Serra's T.W.U., a Hulking Corten
    Lakin, Chadd. “When Dawoud Bey Met David Hammons.” The New York Times. May 2, 2019. Bliz-aard Ball Sale I” (1983), a street action or performance by David Hammons that was captured on camera by Dawoud Bey, shows the artist with his neatly arranged rows of snowballs for sale in the East Village. Credit Dawoud Bey, Stephen Daiter Gallery In 1981, the artist David Hammons and the photographer Dawoud Bey found themselves at Richard Serra’s T.W.U., a hulking Corten steel monolith installed just the year before in a pregentrified and sparsely populated TriBeCa. No one really knows the details of what happened next, or if there were even details to know aside from what Mr. Bey’s images show: Mr. Hammons, wearing Pumas and a dashiki, standing near the interior of the sculpture, its walls graffitied and pasted over with fliers, urinating on it. Another image shows Mr. Hammons presenting identification to a mostly bemused police officer. Mr. Bey’s images are funny and mysterious and offer proof of something that came to be known as “Pissed Off” and spoken about like a fable — not exactly photojournalism, but documentation of a certain Hammons mystique. It wasn’t Mr. Hammons’ only act at the site, either. Another Bey image shows a dozen pairs of sneakers Mr. Hammons lobbed over the Serra sculpture’s steel lip, turning it into something resolutely his own. Soon after he arrived in New York, from Los Angeles, in 1974, Mr. Hammons began his practice of creating work whose simplicity belied its conceptual weight: sculptures rendered from the flotsam of the black experience — barbershop clippings and chicken wing bones and bottle caps bent to resemble cowrie shells — dense with symbolism and the freight of history.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Barbara T. Smith the 21St Century Odyssey April 13
    805 Traction Avenue Los Angeles CA 90013 213.625.1747 www.theboxla.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Barbara T. Smith The 21st Century Odyssey April 13 – May 25, 2019 Opening Reception: Saturday April 13, 6PM – 8PM Screenings: Saturday, April 20 & Saturday, May 18 Panel with the artist: Saturday, May 11 For The Box’s fifth solo exhibition of Barbara T. Smith’s work, the focus will be on The 21st Century Odyssey, a two year-long durational performance that took place from September 26, 1991 to September 26, 1993. These dates correlate with the opening and the closing of Biosphere 2, located near Tucson, Arizona, where her partner at the time, Dr. Roy Walford, was the interred physician. Smith took on the role of Homer’s Odysseus and traveled the world while Walford, confined inside the Biosphere 2 facility along with 7 other “Biospherians” for 2 years, was Penelope. For Smith, this work was an endeavor to attain a global consciousness while maintaining the connection between Biosphere 1 (the earth) and Biosphere 2. “I was holding Bio 2 in my heart and connecting, of course, with Roy as a vehicle of that connection.” As part of this work, Smith traveled extensively internationally and domestically and considered every aspect of her life in this two year period, from the exotic to the banal, as part of the performance. In Homer’s The Odyssey, Odysseus struggles for ten years to get home to Ithaca after his battles in the Trojan War. Between 1992 and 1993, Smith traveled to India, Nepal, Thailand, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, and Norway; within the U.S., she went to Northern California, Hawaii and Seattle.

Tom Marioni had named the conference “Word of Mouth” VISION #4. Twelve artists each gave a twelve-minute talk. Since LP records lasted twenty-four minutes, he had specified twelve-minute talks so we could put two on a side. Later we presented three records in a box. The records are white—“because it felt like we were landing from a flying saucer when we got off the plane in Ponape,” Tom remembers. The plane circled over what looked like a green dot in a blue sea, and we landed abruptly on a short white runway made of crushed coral with a great green rocky cliff at one end and the sea at the other. Against the cliff was a new low building. Shirtless workers in jeans hustled our bags from the plane into a big square hole in the building’s side, visibly pushing them onto a moving carousel. A man in a grass skirt and an inspector’s cap hustled us inside to claim them. The airport building was full of people, many in grass skirts, some (men and women) topless.

    Oh Chris, my hero !... L’expérimentation du corps par Chris Burden Jérôme Maigret Chris Burden, You’ll Never See my Face Cécile Perchet in Kansas-City, 1971 « Les religions jadis demandaient le sacrifice du corps humain ; le savoir appelle aujourd’hui à faire des expériences sur nous-mêmes, au sacrifice du sujet de connaissance.»1 1 – Michel Foucault, « Nietzsche, la généalogie, l’histoire », in Hommage à Jean Hyppolyte, Paris, Presses Universitaires partir des années soixante et essentiellement pendant les de France, 1971, p. 170. années soixante-dix, la tendance artistique aux États-Unis À comme en Europe prend des orientations différentes du schéma classique atelier-galerie-musée, en réaction contre le sys- tème du marché de l’art, par une attitude anti-commerciale et anti- institutionnelle. Le body art, art d’expérimentation corporelle, comme l’art conceptuel ou le land art qui apparaissent au même moment, a une activité créatrice de lien social et ne se préoccupe plus de produire un objet abouti et vendable. Pour la première fois dans l’histoire de l’art, l’artiste se risque à la blessure et à la mort. Des prouesses techniques sans précédent (armement nucléaire, industrialisation, conquête de la Lune…) font s’interroger l’homme à la fois sur sa grandeur et sa petitesse et confrontent sa propre iden- tité à une conscience cosmique nouvelle. Ainsi apparaît ce que l’on pourrait définir être une crise liée au sens du corps. Le body art, sous forme de performances ou d’actions ouvertes au public, apporte un renouvellement de l’imagerie du corps.

Courtesy of the artist and Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New By the late 1960s, the United States was in pitched conflict both in Vietnam, against a foreign power, and at home—between Americans for and against the war, for and against the status quo. Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975 presents art created amid this turmoil, spanning the period from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s fateful https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/244630/artists-respond-american-art-and-the-vietnam-war-1965-1975/ decision to deploy U.S. ground troops to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Saigon ten years later. The first national museum exhibition to examine the contemporary impact of the Vietnam War on American art, Artists Respond brings together nearly 100 works by 58 of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period. Galvanized by the moral urgency of the Vietnam War, these artists reimagined the goals and uses of art, affecting developments in multiple movements and media: painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance, installation, documentary art, and conceptualism.

GENDER AND THE COLLABORATIVE ARTIST COUPLE by CANDICE GREATHOUSE Under the Direction of Dr. Susan Richmond ABSTRACT Through description and analysis of the balancing and intersection of gender in the col- laborative artist couples of Marina Abramović and Ulay, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Chris- to and Jeanne-Claude, I make evident the separation between their public lives and their pri- vate lives, an element that manifests itself in unique and contrasting ways for each couple. I study the link between gendered negotiations in these heterosexual artist couples and this divi- sion, and correlate this relationship to the evidence of problematic gender dynamics in the art- works and collaborations.
