| Dec 12, 2008, 6:00 PM UIC Art and Design Hall Jim Zimpel : Range BFA Thesis Exhibitions in Studio Arts | |
| My installations and sculptures function in the blurred realm of the seemingly authentic, the regulated imaginary and the mundane grandiose. Range aims to tap into the realm of Manifest Destiny and the historical and lasting psychological impacts of western expansion. The work will reference carnival shooting galleries, desolate western landscapes, Hollywood westerns, American landscape painting devices and the remnants and romanticism of American frontier gun culture. As in Niagara, completed in spring of 2008, I wish to continue utilizing mixed scale, vantage point, perspective, controlled positioning of a viewer, dioramas, and mechanical facsimile to replicate the grandeur of familiar natural phenomena. Ultimately, it is my intent to present an elaborately staged, yet ultimately pathetic, realization of an experience. December 11 - 13, 2008 Reception: Friday, December 12, 6 - 10 pm 4th Floor Sculpture Space Art + Design Hall, 400 South Peoria at Van Buren

| Dec 05, 2008, 6:00 PM UIC Art and Design Hall Sabrina Barnes : Boundaries BFA Thesis Exhibition in Photography | |
| My recent photographs appear as abstracted compositions of geographical maps. These places exist in an altered state -- they are the combination of the imaginary and interpretations of the physical world. Layers of scanned textures and gradients are used to create these images. The texture, the composition and how they interact spatially within the frame may lead a viewer to believe that they are familiar. The use of traditional darkroom techniques in combination with filters offered in my digital imaging program leads to the tension within these images. The resulting maps, in part, record what cannot be seen and hold a distant relationship to the physical world. December 1 - 5, 2008 Reception: Friday, December 5, 6 - 9 pm GBU Gallery - 5th Floor Art + Design Hall, 400 South Peoria at Van Buren

| Dec 05, 2008, 6:00 PM UIC Art and Design Hall Kristin Cavanaugh : Urochromatic BFA Thesis Exhibition in Studio Arts | |
| In my most recent work, Urochromatic, an individual palette of oil colors has been determined, according to the sole positive results, from a dipstick urinalysis test, to then create a painted portrait. The litmus paper yields differing color values specified to the percentage or presence of such substances such as protein, blood, or glucose. Focusing on urine, a taboo in society, will address its own social construction. Medium and portraiture is important and specific to Urochromatic; the physical action of painting a physical appearance marks and projects the bodily makeup of a person onto the outer surface, reflecting what is found within, revealing factual truth.

| Nov 22, 2008, 11:00 AM Great Space Spiral Workshop Show & Community Reception recent work by Chicago teen artists | |
| Each fall 100 teen artists from throughout the Chicago area gather on Saturday mornings at Art and Design Hall at the University of Illinois at Chicago to work with student teachers from the UIC Art Education Program to explore contemporary art and to develop artmaking and critical thinking skills. The Workshop is divided into groups organized around themes and techniques. This gives students the opportunity for in-depth investigation of media and themes. Every year the Spiral Workshops culminates in a show and community reception. Typically hundreds of people attend the show--teens, community adults, families, area art teachers and other educators as well as university students and faculty. Spiral student artists don’t just create exercises. They aren’t just practicing to create "real art." Spiral students and faculty work together to make individual art projects and collaborative installations that investigate vital issues for the youth artists and their many communities. Work will also be on view from 9 to 5 on Monday, November 24 and Tuesday, November 25.

| Aug 14, 2008, 5:00 PM UIC Innovation Center Saki Mafundikwa Afrikan Development by Design: Zimbabwe | |
| In the industrialized countries, design and development are Siamese twins – the two are intrinsically linked. In the developing world in general, but Afrika in particular, we still have a long way to go. Most Afrikan Governments do not consider design a national priority. The spread of technology and the new media, however, are chipping away at this attitude and there seems to be growing awareness of the importance of design as a tool for development among some of Afrika’s leadership. Design education is the answer as Saki Mafundikwa will illustrate in his hour-long lecture, which will be made available by Podcast. RSVP: uicmoto.innovation@gmail.com Presented by UIC School of Art and Design: Design Anthropology, Motorola, and AIGA Chicago. Saki Mafundikawa is the founder and director of the Zimbabwe Institute of Vigital Arts (ZIVA) a design and new media training college in Harare. He was educated in the USA with a BA in Telecommunications and Fine Arts from Indiana University and an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University. He worked for a dozen years in New York City as a graphic designer, art director, and design teacher before returning home in 1998. He is the author of the book, “Afrikan Alphabets: the Story of Writing in Africa.”

| Mar 10, 2008, 5:00 PM Hyde Park Art Center 'Newsworthy' by Sara Bassick, Renata Graw, Michael Ruberto, Gretchen Schulfer | |
| 'Newsworthy' is an attempt to transform the official news monologue into a community dialogue. Contemporary society is experiencing an information overload from official news sources. Interactive media provide numerous ways for people to express their opinions, but what if that commentary could be expanded on an enormous scale, making everyone really see the voices of the people around them, in real time? Newsworthy gives members of the Hyde Park community, visitors to the Hyde Park Art Center and the general public the chance to have a visual voice and express, in a unique way, what's on their minds. 'Newsworthy' is part of Drive-By, an exhibition featuring video works by MFA students at the University of Illinois Chicago's School of Art and Design.

| Feb 11, 2008, 5:00 PM Hyde Park Art Center 'You Can be Famous on the Internet' by Adam Trowbridge, Jessica Westbrook | |
| 'You Can be Famous on the Internet' features Internet videos pulled from the Web and submitted by ordinary and extraordinary people. The piece considers several perspectives: the concepts of famous, infamous or popular in the Internet realm; how Internet video relates to home movies, home video and snapshots; and how some Internet videos function as folk or outsider art. The phrase "famous on the Internet" denotes the possibility of being famous to a relatively small group while, at the same time, pointing out how ridiculous it is to be "famous" in a medium so filled with absurd channels of communication. 'You Can be Famous on the Internet' is part of Drive-By, an exhibition featuring video works by MFA students at the University of Illinois Chicago's School of Art and Design. This exhibition is a collaboration between the HPAC and UIC, and is the culmination of a 2007 seminar course that explored media projection and technology, recent developments in public art, and the relationship between art and location. Led by professor and artist Daniel Sauter, the students created digital works specifically for the Art Center's Jackman Goldwasser Catwalk Gallery. [ more info ]

| Jan 28, 2008, 5:00 PM Hyde Park Art Center 'In Motion' by Jeremiah Chiu, Christopher Kalis, Jonathan Sangster | |
| Chicago's train lines all lead to the same destination, the Loop. With all the trains heading to the same destination, most of its passengers only experience one view of Chicago from their particular train line. "In Motion" is a video installation on a public building that re-directs attention back to the buildings and people that make up Chicago. By juxtaposing views from five of the different train lines, a moving portrait of the city is created; offering the viewer a unique view of the city. 'In Motion' is part of Drive-By, an exhibition featuring video works by MFA students at the University of Illinois Chicago's School of Art and Design. This exhibition is a collaboration between the HPAC and UIC, and is the culmination of a 2007 seminar course that explored media projection and technology, recent developments in public art, and the relationship between art and location. Led by professor and artist Daniel Sauter, the students created digital works specifically for the Art Center's Jackman Goldwasser Catwalk Gallery. [ more info ]
