| Nov 10, 2009, 5:00 PM Gallery 400 Talking Cure Artists, designers and architects working inside or outside institutions, what’s the difference? |
| Please come out to the second edition of Talking Cure, a new series initiated this fall by Tony Tasset, sculptor and UIC faculty member, along with Lorelei Stewart, director of Gallery 400, and Anthony Elms, assistant director, and now joined by UIC graduate student Tim Nickodemus. Four times this year, Talking Cure brings together UIC individuals as well as guests and friends from the city for informal discussions on topics in visual art, be they current issues, stereotypes, archetypes, common misconceptions, hard facts, or all of the above. Following on the heels of the October discussion on artists and anguish, we tackle working with institutions, or not. While the discussion will surely hit upon the politics of institutional engagement and the histories of institutional critique, it will also lay out the practical and strategic methods of working within or circumventing myriad institutions. We hope, too, that more general conceptions of public and private and autonomy will be shared and examined. Please come and contribute your thoughts to the conversation.

| Nov 18, 2009, 7:00 PM Gallery 400 The Hydroacoustic Show Film and video works curated by Ben Russell |
| At 20,000 leagues below the sea everyone can hear you scream – that’s the nature of sound and water after all, and (maybe) that’s why we call all those vibrations dazzling our skulls by the oceanic descriptor WAVEFORMS. Just ask Alex Halstead – she was born into water, under water, knows wet and sound better than all of us combined. For the last month in Gallery 400 she’s been humoring our earth-ears with her rhythmic pulses, and now it’s time to return the favor. And so, submitted for her approval: an aqua-opera in 8 stanzas, a capital-SEA-composition in as many verses. From that silent surface (Hutton) to the scratch and curl of the fevered deep (Gatten); betwixt a siren-spongebob-song (Best) and a flicker score for the Red Sea (Holthuis); with whale chorus (Clark), octo-electronica (Painleve), and gurgling pop tune (Rist) – this is a kino-song* for the best Nigerian Elephant-nosed Fish we’ll ever know. Here’s To You, Alex. FEATURING: Study of A River by Peter Hutton (16:00, 16mm, 1996-97), What the Water Said Nos 4-7 by David Gatten (17:00, 16mm, 2007), Crank Dat Soulja Boy Spongebob by Masta Best (3:46, video, 2007), Amours de la pieuvre (Love Life of the Octopus) by Jean Painleve (14:00, 16mm on video, 1965), I'm a Victim of This Song by Pipilotti Rist (5:06, video, 1995), Marsa Abu Galawa by Gerard Holthuis (15:00, 35mm on video, 2004), Sound Over Water by Mary Helena Clark (6:00, 16mm, 2009)
