SUMMARY:Bauhaus Imaginista - Collected Research
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Efroymson Gallery\n“Bauhaus Imaginista” is a major international project that marks the German art school’s 100th anniversary. Operational from 1919 to 1933\, Bauhaus is famous for the approach to design that combined high art and industry. This exhibition rethinks the school from a global perspective\, and reads its entanglements against a century of geopolitical change. \nThe exhibition presents the 4 Gegenstande (Objects) in order to communicate the essential elements of bauhaus imaginista.\n“The Bauhaus Manifesto” (1919) is shown through a specially commissioned essay film\, exploring the hybrid and transnational influences that shaped its conception and the school’s origins. Marcel Breuer’s collage ein Bauhaus film (1927) was reproduced in the Bauhaus Journal No. 1\, an edition of the journal will be reprinted and displayed in the gallery as a stacked multiple available for audiences to take away. Paul Klee’s “Carpet” drawing will be shown in reproduction on a study table detailing the artist’s North African journeys. Kurt Schwerdtfeger’s “Reflective Light Game” is shown through a film projection. \nPhoto: Paul Klee Rug (kilim)\, (1927); Hans Snoeck Private Collection\, New York \nProject partners:\nGoethe-Institut\, Bauhaus Kooperation\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt. \nFunded by:\nDie Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien\, Auswärtiges Amt\, Kulturstiftung des Bundes. \nOn the occasion of 100 Jahre bauhaus (100 Years of Bauhaus). \nAdmission is free\nVISIT US\nMonday-Friday\, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.\nSaturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\nTube is also open until 10 p.m. each First Friday.\nClosed Holidays

SUMMARY:Yvette Mayorga-High Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Yvette Mayorga’s multi-media installation High Maintenance is a flamboyantly chilling revelation\, offering unsettling insights into how the forces of violence\, make-believe\, and consumerism infiltrate the contemporary immigrant experience\, and subvert our understanding of identity. \nDrawing inspiration from the politics of America’s southern border with Mexico\, her own life as a first generation Latinx-American\, and her parents’ often dangerous experiences as immigrants in the 1970s\, Mayorga’s work examines how pain and uncertainty are covered with a veneer of celebration. \nHigh Maintenanceconjures up an absurdist\, Rococo Candy Land\, where frivolity intersects with fear\, as soldiers and ICE agents come face to face with quinceanera cakes\, white swans\, and Polly Pocket adventure sets. \nEvery aspect of Mayorga’s built world is adorned with spectacular\, rapacious iconography. Monumental fashion accessories and gendered toys interrogate the true meaning of “status\,” while decadent\, Colonial aesthetics remind us how fragile national identity is\, and how frequently it depends on appearances. \nIs this a place of joy or fear? Does it welcome us in all our diversity\, or demand our assimilation? Like the guileless inhabitants of Mayorga’s thickly impastoed paintings\, the second we enter this uncanny\, celebratory-looking tableau\, we realize we are caught between a nightmare and a dream. \nIn partnership with Nopal Cultural and University of Indianapolis. \nMade possible by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, Christ Church Cathedral\, The Arts Council of Indianapolis\, Managed Health Services – MHS\,and Sun King Brewing Company. \nYvette Mayorga lives and works in Chicago. She earned her MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include the Lubeznik Center for the Arts\, EXPO Chicago 2018\, The Vincent Price Art Museum\, The Chicago Cultural Center\, and The National Museum of Mexican Art. Her work has been featured in Hyperallergic\, The Guardian\, Art News\, and Teen Vogue\, among others.

SUMMARY:Kader Attia- The Body’s Legacies (Part 1: The Objects)
DESCRIPTION:Attia’s recent film The Body’s Legacies (Part 1: The Objects) is an extensive account of testimonies by academics\, scholars\, collectors\, and museum directors from Canada\, the US\, Ivory Coast\, and many other locations\, relating the histories behind bodies and artifacts from the world over. \nThis screening is part of the Bauhaus Imaginista: Collected Research exhibition. \nProject partners:\nGoethe-Institut\, Bauhaus Kooperation\, Haus der Kulturen der Welt. \nFunded by:\nDie Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien\, Auswärtiges Amt\, Kulturstiftung des Bundes. \nOn the occasion of 100 Jahre bauhaus (100 Years of Bauhaus). \nKader Attia (b. 1970\, France)\, grew up in Paris and in Algeria. Preceding his studies at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués Duperré and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris\, and at Escola Massana\, Centre d’Art i Disseny in Barcelona\, he spent several years in Congo and in South America. \nThe experience with these different cultures\, the histories of which over centuries have been characterised by rich trading traditions\, colonialism and multi-ethnic societies\, has fostered Kader Attia’s intercultural and interdisciplinary approach of research. For many years\, he has been exploring the perspective that societies have on their history\, especially as regards experiences of deprivation and suppression\, violence and loss\, and how this affects the evolving of nations and individuals — each of them being connected to collective memory. \nHis socio-cultural research has led Kader Attia to the notion of Repair\, a concept he has been developing philosophically in his writings and symbolically in his oeuvre as a visual artist. With the principle of Repair being a constant in nature — thus also in humanity —\, any system\, social institution or cultural tradition can be considered as an infinite process of Repair\, which is closely linked to loss and wounds\, to recuperation and re-appropriation. Repair reaches far beyond the subject and connects the individual to gender\, philosophy\, science\, and architecture\, and also involves it in evolutionary processes in nature\, culture\, myth and history. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia founded La Colonie\, a space in Paris to share ideas and to provide an agora for vivid discussion. Focussing on decolonialisation not only of peoples but also of knowledge\, attitudes and practices\, it aspires to de-compartmentalise knowledge by a trans-cultural\, trans-disciplinary and trans-generational approach. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparations\, it aims to reunite which has been shattered\, or drift apart. \nKader Attia’s work has been shown in  group shows and biennials such as the 12thShanghai Biennial; the 12th Gwangju Biennial; the 12th Manifesta\, Palermo; the 57th Venice Biennial; dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel; Met Breuer\, New York; Kunsthalle Wien; MoMA\, New York; Tate Modern\, London; Centre Pompidou\, Paris; or The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York — just to name a few. Notable solo exhibitions include “The Museum of Emotion”\, The Hayward Gallery\, London; “Scars Remind Us that Our Past is Real”\, Fundacio Joan Miro\, Barcelona; “Roots also grow in concrete”\, MacVal in Vitry-sur-Seine; „The Field of Emotion“\, The Power Plant\, Toronto; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Repairing the Invisible”\, SMAK\, Ghent; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Sydney; “Sacrifice and Harmony”\, Museum für Moderne Kunst\, Frankfurt; “The Injuries are Here”\, Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts de Lausanne; “Contre Nature”\, Beirut Art Center; “Continuum of Repair: The Light of Jacob’s Ladder”\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London; and KW Institute for Contemporary Art\, Berlin. \nIn 2016\, Kader Attia was awarded with the Marcel Duchamp Prize\, followed by the Prize of the Miró Foundation\, Barcelona\, and the Yanghyun Art Prize\, Seoul\, in 2017.

SUMMARY:WQRT Rhinestone Country Presents-Smokey & The Bandit
DESCRIPTION:Burt Reynolds\, Sally Field and Jackie Gleason are in high gear and hot water after a cross-country road challenge results in one of the wildest series of car chases and crashes ever filmed! The Bandit (Burt Reynolds)\, a maverick racecar driver\, makes an 80\,000-dollar bet that he can transport a shipment of Coors beer from Texarkana\, TX\, to Atlanta within 28 hours. It’s important to note that in 1977\, it was illegal to sell the Coors brand east of the Mississippi River without a permit; if we don’t note that\, then the plot won’t make sense at times. Already in danger of arrest from redneck lawmen like Buford T. Justice\, Bandit furthers his chances at a stiff jail term when he offers a ride to Carrie\, who hopes to escape her unwanted wedding to Justice’s boy.” ~ Hal Erickson\, Rovi \nPresented by Upland Brewing Company
