    2001 Future of the Arts Report 1 The Future of the Arts at the University of Chicago August 2001 Table of Contents Introduction Page 2 Study Recommendations Page 4 Role of the Arts Page 5 The Arts Curriculum Page 7 Student Arts Page 9 Professional Arts Organizations Page 11 Arts in the City Page 13 Organization and Process Recommendations Page 15 Facilities Needs and Objectives Page 17 Facilities Recommendations Page 23 Conclusion Page 29 Appendices Page 30 Introduction Introduction Experiencing the creative arts is a fundamental part of knowing ourselves as humans and of understanding those different from ourselves. Whether painting or poetry, film or theater, music or dance, artistic creation addresses the deepest questions of the human condition. A great research university should nurture the unique and powerful role of the arts in the education of the whole person. University President Ernest DeWitt Burton recognized this when he wrote in 1925: “We need to supplement science and the scientific study of all branches of knowledge with the finer arts of music and painting, of sculpture and architecture. We owe it to our students, to whom it is our ambition to give the best possible education. We owe it to our professors, that they not become dry-as- dust investigators and lecturers but symmetrically developed and cultivated personalities. We owe it to our community.” Today, more students, faculty, staff, and general audiences engage with the arts on our campus than ever before. This increased participation has been paralleled by growth in the quality and diversity of our arts programs and activities.

    Signs and Systems Curated by Anne Rorimer January 11 - February 16, 2019 Opening reception: January 11, 2019 5 – 7:30 pm Matt Mullican, Untitled (Pantagraph), 2016 Acrylic, gouache, and oil sticK rubbing on canvas 78.75 x 157.5 inches Rhona Hoffman Gallery is pleased to open 2019 with Signs and Systems, an exhibition curated by Anne Rorimer featuring worKs by Lawrence Kenny, Allan McCollum, Matt Mullican, and Caroline Van Damme. In different ways, each artist generates visual signification by means of systems predicated on line, color, shape, and form. Together they call upon the potential of these basic visual elements to invest flat surfaces and/or real surroundings with abstract aesthetic meaning. Serial systems play a strategic role in two worKs by Lawrence Kenny. In Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby (2018), primary and secondary colored letters appear to float just above the wall, repeatedly spelling out the title of Louis Jordan’s famed 1944 song to form an overall pattern of successive columns within a large rectangle. In marKed contrast, Wirework (2017) addresses the attempt to perceptually imbue empty space with palpable form. The pairing of eight bent, thin, three-foot long, steel wires in four different positions serve to interconnect the neutral planarity of the wall with iterations of spatial depth. Matt Mullican’s Untitled (Pantagraph) (2016) is a single example of the artist’s multi-pronged aesthetic project noted for its incorporation of sign systems. Through a broad range of media, Matt Mullican draws from his own subconscious to create a body of worK aimed at nothing less than to maKe sense of the universe.

Because that's what half of America is writing about. Take a hint from Emory University, whose “Why Us?” prompt used to read: Many students decide to apply to Emory University based on our size, location, reputation, and yes, the weather. Besides these valid reasons as a possible college choice, why is Emory University a particularly good match for you? Why do you think the school says not to write about those things? Because their admissions readers are tired of reading about those things. In fact, here's what to do after you've written your first draft: go back through your essay and underline anything that sounds like it could have appeared in another student's essay.
