All Rights Reserved. art21.org | pbs.org/art21 Chicago EPISODE SYNOPSIS Chicago is a city rooted in industry and towering architecture, and artists in Chicago are disrupting urban experience through experimentation. Nick Cave creates “Soundsuits”—surreally majestic objects blending fashion and sculpture—that originated as metaphorical suits of armor in response to the Rodney King beatings and have evolved into vehicles for empowerment. Chris Ware, known for his New Yorker magazine covers, is hailed as a master of the comic art form. Ware’s complex graphic novels, which tell stories about people in suburban midwestern neighborhoods, poignantly reflect on the role of memory in constructing identity. Barbara Kasten makes photographs and video projections in her studio that evoke an experience of movement through modernist architecture. Theaster Gates first encountered creativity in the music of Black churches on his journey to becoming an urban planner, potter, and artist. Gates creates sculptures out of clay, tar, and renovated buildings, transforming the raw material of the South Side into radically reimagined vessels of opportunity for the community.

All Rights Reserved. art21.org | pbs.org/art21 Chicago ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES What do I have to put into place to allow you to dream? N i c k C a v e Nick Cave was born in 1959 in Fulton, Missouri, USA. Fully concealing the body, Cave’s “Soundsuits” serve as an alien second skin that obscures race, gender, and class, allowing viewers to look without bias towards the wearer’s identity. Cave regularly performs in the sculptures himself, dancing either before the public or for the camera, activating their full potential as costume, musical instrument, and living icon. The artist also works with choreographers, dancers, and amateur performers to produce lavish community celebrations in untraditional venues for art. Dazzling in their movement, Cave’s sculptures are crafted in collaboration with artisans from a dizzying array of materials that include beads, raffia, buttons, sequins, twigs, fur, and fabric. The “Soundsuits” are also displayed in exhibitions as static sculptures, arranged as groups of figures in formation that are striking in their diversity and powerful stance. Cave’s sculptures also include non- figurative assemblages, intricate accumulations of found objects that art21.org/nickcave project out from the wall, and installations enveloping entire rooms. The real process that goes into comics is not pic- tures with accompanying text, it’s a psychological process of reading pictures. It’s a symbol system. C h r i s W a r e Chris Ware was born in 1967 in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. Stories featuring many of Ware’s protagonists—Quimby the Mouse, Rusty Brown, and Jimmy Corrigan—often first appear in serialized form, in publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, or Ware’s own ongoing comic book series Acme Novelty Library, before being organized into their own stand-alone books. Experimenting with the form of the novel itself, Ware’s Building Stories (which took a decade to complete) is a box set of fourteen printed works in a variety of formats—cloth-bound books, newspapers, pamphlets, and flip books—that can be read in any order. The artist’s hand-drawn, complex compositions unfold time through space in surprising arrangements which include pages entirely absent of words, radical shifts in scale, and characters, locations, and events seen from multiple points of view. art21.org/chrisware © ART21 2016. All Rights Reserved. art21.org | pbs.org/art21 Chicago ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES I always think of myself as actually photographing the shadows, not the light. Barbara Kasten Barbara Kasten was born in 1936 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. While abstract, Kasten’s work is subversively political, asking viewers to fundamentally question their perceptions. Trained as a sculptor, Kasten began to investigate photography through cyanotypes of fabrics and photograms of objects placed directly on the paper. This led her to photograph elaborate compositions of objects in the studio—such as Platonic shapes, paper, plexiglass, and wire—often illuminated by theatrical lighting and colored gels.

  • Liz Magor I Have Wasted My Life
    Andrew Kreps 22 Cortlandt Alley, Tue–Sat, 10 am–6 pm Tel. (212)741-8849 Gallery New York, NY 10013 andrewkreps.com Fax. (212)741-8163 Liz Magor I Have Wasted My Life May 21 - July 3 Opening Reception: Friday, May 21, 4 - 7 pm Andrew Kreps Gallery is pleased to announce I Have Wasted My Life, an exhibition of new works by Liz Magor at 22 Cortlandt Alley. On the wall, a new sculpture titled Perennial is formed from a duffle coat, which in the 1960s and 1970s had become a de-facto uniform for student protestors, including those part of the nascent environmental movement in Vancouver, where Greenpeace was founded in 1971. A near artifact from this time, the coat carries with it the accumulated wear from these actions. The artist’s own interventions seek to repair the garment, though in lieu of erasure, Magor marks the damage using paint, ink, and sculptural material. Simultaneously, Magor adds vestiges of the coat’s past activity, such as two cookies cast in gypsum placed in its pocket to resuscitate it to its prior use. Magor often positions humble objects at the center of her sculptures, the stuff that plays fleeting roles in our lives as repositories for memories and affection before being replaced. Three found workbenches, positioned throughout the galleries, become stages for these objects, suggesting sites for their rehabilitation. On each, a meticulously molded and cast toy animal rests between an array of accumulated items that range from the deeply personal, such as small collections of rocks, shells, and dried flowers, to those that are ubiquitous, such as Ikea Lack furniture, which is produced in a way that it is no longer contained to one place, or time.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 15, 2017 Landon Mackenzie Honoured with Governor General’s Award for Visual Arts ALUMNUS GLENN LEWIS ALSO HONOURED VANCOUVER, CANADA – Emily Carr University Professor Landon Mackenzie has been honoured with a Governor General’s Award for the Visual Arts. An abstract painter whose monumental canvasses provoke new considerations of time, space and motion, Mackenzie’s work is collected in prestigious museums across the country, including the National Gallery of Canada, Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. Mackenzie has been a member of Emily Carr University’s visual arts faculty since 1986, where she has played a pivotal role in the development of the University’s studio program. “Mackenzie’s imaginative remapping of Canada and has become a template for the outer realms of our imagination. Her work inspires our minds and her contributions to our community inspire our souls,” said artist Jennifer Lefort who nominated Mackenzie for the award. “I am honoured to be among so many talented colleagues in receiving this award,” said Mackenzie, “I have been privileged to have a significant career making art in Canada with tremendous support and intellectual dialogue through Emily Carr University.” Mackenzie's work has been shown in more than 100 exhibitions across Canada and around the world. In addition to her studio work and exhibitions, recently Professor Mackenzie, in collaboration with noted painter and colleague Ben Reeves, conceived the colour palette and the placement of coloured spandrel glass across the exterior of the University’s new campus, reflecting and honouring the work of the renowned BC painter Emily Carr (1871-1945).

Cook’s subtle manipulations of fabric using bleach, creases and silkscreen yield compelling objects that flow over wall and floor, evoking both classical drapery and of-the-moment Los Angeles culture. Born in Dallas, TX, Cook received her BFA in 2002 from the University of Texas at Austin and earned an MFA in 2007 from Art Center College of Design. In 2011, Cook was the subject of a two- person exhibition with Nathan Hylden at Volker Bradtke, Dusseldorf.

For Massey, the computer is also the puppet. It is not just the mannequin but the computer as well that represents an agent external to the self that may enact our wishes. Massey’s interrelated images of flesh and wood, sensory organs and mechanical joints in The Jack Photographs suggest to the viewer that the body is the site of perception and memory,not just the mind alone. For Massey, the notion of watching or looking at something is also an exercise in self-perception and forms another meaningful ellipsis to The Jack Photographs.The question of self-perception, how the tools of observation intercede, and how the mind works its anxious response, its motivations, and its insights are each puzzling experiences and difficult to explain but perhaps, in electronic art, possible.The visual codes Massey embeds in this artwork are an encryption that underscores the effects of working with photography in combination with other media. Jack is the foil through which the artist engages perception as subject, identity or self-awareness as object, and the structure of vision as content.
