 | |  | | Natasha Mijares and Matthew Goulish Artist Talk
TODAY
Thursday, February 9
5:00–6:30pm CT
Gallery 400, 400 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL • RSVP »
Join Gallery 400, poet Natasha Mijares, and Reckless Rolodex co-curator Matthew Goulish for an evening of performance inspired by Lawrence Steger’s legacy.
Mijares, a Chicago-based artist, writer, curator, and educator, will give a reading of her work Sound Audition, which follows the musings of a speaker attempting to write a song. The speaker questions the implications of composition and how language fails us, ultimately considering issues of illness and wellness.
Goulish, co-founder of performance group Every house has a door, will present A User’s Guide to Reckless Rolodex. A User’s Guide to Reckless Rolodex will engage the ideas and images in Steger’s work, formulating Reckless Rolodex’s creative responses to Steger. This presentation asks us to consider how Steger’s work might offer guides for a new generation of artists? What does the word ‘archive’ mean and what might we ask it to do? Learn more » |

| | | ATOM-r: I 💜 The Dead 😈 (The Followspot) Performance
Tuesday, February 14
5:00–6:30pm CT
Gallery 400, 400 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL • RSVP »
ATOM-r presents a mixed reality love poem for Lawrence Steger, drawing upon his performance cover of an Alice Cooper song in 1997. The work explores thresholds and excesses, conflating the vocabulary of transitions in theatrical production with the choreography of nautical line-crossing ceremonies observed by sailors when crossing the equator.
Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery formerly of Goat Island Performance Group co-founded Chicago-based ATOM-r (Anatomical Theatres of Mixed Reality) in 2012. ATOM-r is a provisional collective exploring forensics, anatomy, and 21st-century embodiment through performance, language, and emerging technologies. Learn more » |

| | | Open Call for Fwd: Museums 2023 - [Redacted]
Link to submissions portal: https://tinyurl.com/FwdSubmissions
Deadline (Extended): Feb 15, 2023 by 11:59 (CT)
Questions? Email us: fwd.museums@gmail.com
Condensing a confidential memo from 25 pages to one paragraph. A form of editing to prepare a text for publication. The altering of information. What does it look like to censor? A notable absence, a muting, making invisible. Redaction extends beyond the simple black squares as incomplete redactions – stamps marked with ‘deleted’ covering the text– white squares, and handmade notations. Each black square signifies absence. It serves as a reminder for enforced forgetfulness. Uncovering the secret behind the mask and discovering the text underneath seems like a daring task, but is the redacted information really gone?
What is visible in cultural spaces, and what is invisible? In attempts to appeal to the public, what is redacted?
We accept any theme that explores the theme of CENSORSHIP. |
