  • Ed Paschke: Visionary from Chicago, 1968–2004 17 January–5 July 2015
    Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology University of Oxford press release Beaumont Street Oxford OX1 2PH www.ashmolean.org 21 January 2015, for immediate release: Ed Paschke: Visionary from Chicago, 1968–2004 17 January–5 July 2015 Ed Paschke: Visionary from Chicago, 1968–2004 is the third in the Ashmolean’s series of exhibitions of post- war and contemporary art presented in collaboration with the Hall Art Foundation (USA). The exhibition includes an important early work borrowed from the Ed Paschke Foundation, along with four paintings lent by the artist Jeff Koons. Koons, who studied with Paschke and was hired as Paschke’s studio assistant in 1974, has contributed an interview with exhibition curator, Sir Norman Rosenthal, to the exhibition catalogue. Part of a group of artists known as the Chicago Imagists who emerged in the 1960s, Paschke (1939–2004) was strongly influenced by media imagery and popular culture – newspapers, magazines, advertisements, film and television. In works like Hilda (1973) and Mannish Boy (1970), his brilliantly coloured, provocative and surreal paintings of circus freaks, tattooed ladies, transvestites, wrestlers and hairy wingtip shoes, explore the underbelly of urban life and a dark side of Pop Art. While Paschke’s later works such as Voulez-Vous Danser? (Would You Ed Paschke (1939–2004) Mannish Boy, 1970 Like to Dance?) (1989) depict cultural icons like the Mona Lisa, © Ed Paschke his layered, mask-like abstraction of the face, use of electronic colours and neon-bright static lines, differs drastically from the treatment of similar subjects by his New York contemporaries, Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist and Robert Rauschenberg.

Carving out a place for himself Goldstein makes his mark in Chicago by fusing artistic vision and carpentry skill By Amelia Benner Although Jeffrey Goldstein ’80 is now proud to call himself both an artist and a craftsman, it’s a role he long resisted. A fourth-generation carpenter who majored in art at Illinois Wesleyan, he loaded up his 1967 Dodge Dart after graduation and moved to Chicago to launch his art career. “I swore up to that point that being a carpenter was something I would never do,” Jeffrey says. “I looked at swinging a hammer as a temporary setback based on a genetic family defect.” Realizing he couldn’t pay his bills on art alone, Jeffrey Jeffrey Goldstein (left) and friend Ed Paschke at launched Carpentry-Artworks in Chicago. He began with small the famed artist’s Chicago studio.

  • Scms 2017 Conference Program
    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.

  • Uncommon Accumulation Bednar Press Release
    For Immediate Release: Thursday, December 12, 2019 Contact: Charlotte Easterling 608.257.0158 x 240 [email protected] MMoCA CELEBRATES MAJOR GIFT OF NEARLY 100 WORKS OF CHICAGO IMAGIST ART UNCOMMON ACCUMULATION: THE MARK AND JUDY BEDNAR COLLECTION OF CHICAGO IMAGISM March 14–July 19, 2020 MADISON, WI— To celebrate Mark and Judy Bednar’s transformative gift of Chicago Imagist art from their collection to the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, MMoCA will bring together the works in the museum’s main galleries with the exhibition Uncommon Accumulation: The Mark and Judy Bednar Collection of Chicago Imagism. From March 14 through July 19, 2020, Uncommon Accumulation will showcase the works that have already been gifted to the museum alongside the promised gifts that have been collected by the Bednars over the past 45 years. The gift from the Bednars complements the museum’s existing collection of Chicago Imagism through its inclusion of artworks produced very early in the careers of several of the artists. Formative works by Roger Brown, Robert Lostutter, Gladys Nilsson, Jim Nutt, Ed Paschke, Christina Ramberg, Barbara Rossi, Karl Wirsum, and Ray Yoshida from the 1960s and 70s—a period when some of the Imagists were still in graduate school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC)—are part of this extraordinary gift. These new additions uphold MMoCA as having one of the largest, and now one of the most comprehensive, collections of Chicago Imagism. The Chicago Imagists were a group of figurative artists who emerged in Chicago in the mid-1960s. Using vibrant color and bold lines, they depicted the human body as grossly distorted and highly stylized.
