Art Exhibition Opportunities for BFA and MFA Students<br />
by mariekazalia<br />
<br />
Art Advisory, Ltd and Capsim Management Simulations, Inc. are seeking visual art submissions from BFA and MFA students, living in the Chicago area, to be included in bi-yearly corporate exhibitions.<br />
Capsim is a global leader in business simulation technology and services designed to teach business acumen in any learning environment. They are looking for 5 -10 artists for each exhibition in the Chicago downtown offices of Capsim. Each artist selected will receive $500 to exhibit their work(s) for 6 months beginning June 1, 2012. In addition to the stipend, Susan Blackman, President of Art Advisory, Ltd., a full service art consultancy, will conduct a seminar to review their work and their plans for becoming a successful artist. Also, Capsim will host an opening for the exhibition. As the exhibition hangs for 6 months and since each piece will be for sale, each artist will have the ability to show their work to prospective clients on a pre-arranged appointment through Art Advisory, Ltd.<br />
Work Media: All considered<br />
Work Size: Wall artwork: Maximum size – 8’ x 8’ 100 lbs<br />
Sculpture: Maximum size – 4’ x 2’ 100 lbs<br />
Selection Process: All work will be carefully reviewed by Susan Blackman of Art Advisory, Ltd. and executives from Capsim. We will consider each work based on its impact, creativity, style, composition, subject matter, technique, and storytelling.<br />
Once your work is accepted, the work must be:<br />
Framed or mounted with a wire affixed (saw-tooth hangers are<br />
not permitted) and ready to hang.<br />
Frames must be in good shape.<br />
Note: Entries will be handled with the greatest of care, however, Art Advisory, Ltd. and Capsim assumes no liability for work on its premises. All works selected for exhibition must be for sale. We will not take a commission on any sales. Images selected for the show may be used for promotion of the exhibition now or in the future.<br />
Artists, if this opportunity meets your needs, you will find hundreds more on CASIM's<br />

Inspiration for this work comes from a traditional and contemporary meme, the image of eating spaghetti while crying. At first this is strikingly hilarious, but deconstruction reveals an issue with roots that span centuries. This image has been in western art consciousness from its Italian Renaissance origins in situational comedies known as Commedia Dell’arte. Today it can be viewed on hard-to-avoid websites such as <a href="http://eatingandcrying.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">eatingandcrying.com</a>. The goal of this work is to show the resource of food as a multi-layered energy source for all women.</span></div>

They have been held under a suspicion that they were involved in a peaceful protest with a group known as ‘Pussy Riot’. The women deny these charges. </span><br />

Pussy Riot:<br />“Meanwhile, the girls, who are accused of involvement in our group are still continuing a hunger strike, now head of prison refuses to provide them with personal items, books and linens.[...]<br />But our team is not going to give up and stop their activities.

Now we are monitoring the situation and choose the right moment to speak, until all the forces we go to the arrested girls.[...]<br />We believe that every person is very ill in prison (or jail), regardless of their gender identity, the presence or absence of children. We are against the sexist approach to the Advocacy of political prisoners and ask for help all concerned to change the preventive measure to two people who find themselves behind bars now, regardless of their media fame, gender and whether they are mothers or not.[...]<br />Thanks to everyone who supports us and helps in the protection of prisoners in our business.<br />P.S. Beautiful pictures of the arrested girls are not going to give, they are worthy of attention and protection regardless of their appearance.<br />With warm greetings, Pussy Riot.”</div>

</div><blockquote style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5e6568; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">"Knitting and crochet has deep roots in the history of women as homemakers and textile artists. Often times, women would gather and make the activity a social occasion in which they would discuss topics that were important to them. Graffiti art is a modern form of expression, but is often solitary. Six women came together to express themselves through yarn graffiti and found themselves conversing about many subjects – some silly, some deep. Yarn graffiti ties together our disparate interests with an authentic, whimsical spirit, and in a very real and literal way, it ties us together not only as young people, women, or artists, but as humans. Through the documentation of this process of knot making and the act of installing the yarn graffiti, these six ladies invite the viewer to discover a personal conversation about desires, common threads, and topics uniquely their own."</span></blockquote>Finlandia University is lucky to have a group of very active members in the <a href="http://www.youngwc.blogspot.com/">Young Women's Caucus</a>, which is part of a much larger national organization, the <a href="http://nationalwca.org/index.php">Women's Caucus of Art</a>. The WCA is a great network of women artists doing inspiring things all over the country, while the YWC helps bridge the gap between established and emerging artists, by providing opportunities and a community for young people who are just starting to make their way in the art world.<br />
<br />
And yep, you read right-- it's a clubhouse with a "Girls Only" sign on the door. Some people are mad about this. I get mad about things sometimes too. Emotions happen.<br />
<br />
Anyway, every year the WCA puts on a national conference to bring its members together. This year the conference was in NYC and the theme was "Live Space." Finlandia YWC members had the opportunity to put on a performance piece with the theme "What Women Want" in a NYC gallery. <br />
<br />
Wow that's awesome, right?! We were way excited! Only-- none of us identified as performance artists! So we were way intimidated and scared and freaked out too!<br />
<br />
And so the talking began, followed by research, improv games, and more talking. Four of our six members are highly involved with or even majoring in fiber and fashion design. These four also knit a bunch. One day <a href="http://amandamoyer.weebly.com/">Amanda Moyer</a>, who has a higher than average rate of a-ha! moments as it is, outdid herself when she suggested, "What about yarn graffiti?" It's awesome, that's what about it!<br />
<br />
During the course of two months, our group spent two to four days a week knitting and knotting and splashing the winter landscape with colorful yarn creations. We documented it all and edited it into a fun short film. In New York, we showed the film and created a yarn installation in the gallery. And then we had some wine and cheese and sat back and enjoyed <a href="http://youngwc.blogspot.com/2011/01/young-womens-caucus-performance.html">the other awesome performances</a>. We did it!<br />
<br />
When I think back to how unsure of ourselves we were at the beginning and how intimidated we were by the idea of working in a medium we were unfamiliar with, I am grateful we were presented with an opportunity that challenged us. It made us stretch and learn and grow, in many ways that we could not have predicted, even beyond the art-making aspects of the project. Also it turns out that there are elements of performance in much of the art we create, which we didn't realize before, but which we're better able to grasp and use now.<br />
<br />
Comfort doesn't do anything except make you fat and lazy, and fix you in the same place, never moving, never changing. Fear is a signpost telling you what actions, people, and places are going to challenge you and lead to growth and change. Do things that scare you, because things that scare you will transform you. <br />
<br />
Alternate closing metaphor: Fear is a cloaking device that hides the fun core of life. Do scary things because the only way to remove fear and reveal the true and fun nature of things is by doing them!Stephanie Trevinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17140672423800995115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297643474841300352.post-33996513262548561122011-02-08T20:10:00.003-05:002011-02-08T22:26:54.862-05:00A Penny for Your Thoughts<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Will you be in NY this weekend?</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Meet us at 9:45 Thursday 2/10 on the 4th floor of the Hilton located on the Avenue of the Americas to participate in:</b></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7GuTPOciYUWzhKM7cz6yKSKBwdFZrPMwyzFDOZQoAkyzJ8qO2jx-l-ko-CYmpWqs4TA-MvXSoT_KOq1qvsPXMcLL0PDEg9T24VB3MUBJuICMT2w54r8O9hmP24_VcDebBc64iq1qDWM/s1600/A+penny+for+your+thoughts.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 127px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7GuTPOciYUWzhKM7cz6yKSKBwdFZrPMwyzFDOZQoAkyzJ8qO2jx-l-ko-CYmpWqs4TA-MvXSoT_KOq1qvsPXMcLL0PDEg9T24VB3MUBJuICMT2w54r8O9hmP24_VcDebBc64iq1qDWM/s400/A+penny+for+your+thoughts.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571493096434598050" /></a><div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7GuTPOciYUWzhKM7cz6yKSKBwdFZrPMwyzFDOZQoAkyzJ8qO2jx-l-ko-CYmpWqs4TA-MvXSoT_KOq1qvsPXMcLL0PDEg9T24VB3MUBJuICMT2w54r8O9hmP24_VcDebBc64iq1qDWM/s1600/A+penny+for+your+thoughts.jpg"></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 16.0px; font: 14.0px Goudy Old Style"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Through the age-old idiom "a penny for your thoughts," Young Women's Caucus members will engage individuals at the conference through the gift of a penny in order to create a space live with verbalized thoughts and discussion.

DeMers, Susie Danielson, Stephanie Trevino, Amanda Mears, Dawn Hiltz</div><div><br /></div><div>Performance Description:</div><div>Knitting and crochet has deep roots in the history of women as homemakers and textile artists. Often times, women would gather and make the activity a social occasion in which they would discuss topics that were important to them. Graffiti art is a modern form of expression, but is often solitary. Six women came together to express themselves through yarn graffiti and found themselves conversing about many subjects – some silly, some deep. Yarn graffiti ties together our disparate interests with an authentic, whimsical spirit, and in a very real and literal way, it ties us together not only as young people, women, or artists, but as humans. Through the documentation of this process of knot making and the act of installing the yarn graffiti, these six ladies invite the viewer to discover a personal conversation about desires, common threads, and topics uniquely their own.</div><div><br /></div><div>Susie Danielson will graduate from Finlandia University with a degree in Fashion</div><div>Design this spring. Optimism, playfulness, and delight are expressed through the artwork the Danielson creates.</div><div><br /></div><div>J.R. DeMers, an Illustration and Fashion Design Major in her senior year, draws</div><div>inspiration for her artwork from music, dance, and various cultures. DeMers plans on traveling to Japan to pursue her passions in teaching and art in the coming year.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dawn Hiltz is a second year Graphic Design student, originally from Dover, Delaware. Hiltz joined the YWC to network, have a good time and make lasting friendships.</div><div><br /></div><div>Amanda Mears is a junior at Finlandia University working towards a BFA with</div><div>concentrations in Ceramics & Sculpture. She is also starting to focus on Fiber/Fashion Design. Mears’ work revolves around an obsessive love for anything geeky, cute and childish. She finds inspiration from the games, movies and stories of her childhood and creates with a focus on the visual aesthetic.</div><div><br /></div><div>Amanda Moyer, a senior in Integrated Design at Finlandia University, draws inspiration from the materialist suburbs she has experienced since youth. Environmental, social, and economic sustainability as well as gender roles are the driving forces of her multi-media artwork and upcycled designs.</div><div><br /></div><div>Stephanie Trevino is a photographer whose current work focuses on portraiture that explores the individual's relationship with natural places and imaginary worlds. She graduates in May with her BFA from Finlandia University. Her senior project is the conversion of a short school bus into an art classroom on wheels to bring art education and experiences to places that lack art resources.</div><div><br /></div><div>2) Spoken For</div><div><br /></div><div>Artists: Megan Katz and Marina Kelly with performers Andrew Dayton, Michael</div><div>Eckblad, Jason Bahling and Jonathan Wohl of the Notion Collective.</div><div><br /></div><div>Spoken For features women's intimate stories of want, using live performance and video in a multi-media exploration of women's desires as expressed via male voices.</div><div><br /></div><div>Artists</div><div>Megan Katz is an anthropologist-turned-artist with a particular interest in how feelings, thoughts, words, and language shape the visible and concrete parts of our lives. She works in documentary film, video, performance and installation--always with an eye on points of intersection between the physical world and interior landscapes. She has her MFA in visual art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and an MA in Anthropology.</div><div><br /></div><div>Marina Kelly is a multi-media artist who works in the fields of performance, video and installation. Her interests include the remediation of public spaces, site</div><div>specific performance and intervention, screen-dance and video art. Marina is a founding member of Dear Heart Dance collective based in Madison, Wisconsin and is currently working on her Masters of Fine Arts degree in the Art Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.</div><div><br /></div><div>Performers:</div><div>Jason Bahling is a videographer, installation, and time based artist. While his video</div><div>production experience spans the gamut, Jason prefers to collaborate with choreographers, musicians, and theatre companies. He is co-director of contemporary dance company LizZieMoVeS Co (SF), and co-founder of Notion Collective(NYC). Jason's video projections revel in the physicality of time, light and space to create moving landscapes, altered realities, and evocative textures that conceptually augment and visually enhance live performances of many genres.</div><div><br /></div><div>Andy Dayton is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. He got his start making videos, but his work has coursed through a range of different media; from performance, to sculpture, to illustration, and often somewhere outside and in-between. Recent appearances have included work at the Walker Art Center's "Open Field" and the DUMBO Arts Festival in Brooklyn, NY. Andy received an undergraduate degree from the InterArts and Technology program at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and is a founding member of The Notion Collective.</div><div><br /></div><div>Michael Eckblad is a New York City-based artist whose work ranges from the</div><div>performative to the visually formal, often incorporating light emitters through video, photography, installation and environments. He responds to the local through work that evolves in both time and space, and frequently collaborates with dancers and actors. He also shares much of his work on michaeleckblad.com.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jonathan Wohl is a New York-based interdisciplinary artist working primarily in new media and sound design. Currently involved with The Notion Collective and the Astoria Creative Group, his work incorporates concept-driven performance and experimental instrument design. A new piece by Wohl will be featured in the upcoming show EXPRESS | LOCAL at the Queens College Art Center.</div><div><br /></div><div>3) "Requesting Access"</div><div><br /></div><div>Description: Requesting Access is collaborative photo shoot performance by Chanel Matsunami Govreau (played by Asian Barbie), photographer Martin Solheim and makeup/hair artist Tamara Qabazard. This performance layers the exaggeration of cultural costuming over questionably (un)real storytelling. This is combined with the friction and vanity of flash photography to explore multiracial identity and gender in interracial relationships as it combines with expectations of sexuality and its possible profit.</div><div><br /></div><div>Performers:</div><div>Chanel Matsunami Govreau/Queen Gidrea uses her body, face, regalia, and word as a site of performance storytelling. Her work is inhabited by neon luxury artifacts, fabulous character exaggerations and futuristic prophecies based on her experiences as a queer, multiracial, and Asian-American woman. In her practice, she utilizes a combination of humor, glamour, and self -exposure to engage in dialogue about ethnic stereotyping and hypersexualization. She seeks to extract and confront her own internalized oppressions by disrupting patterns of racism, sexism and homophobia while indulging herself completely.</div><div><br /></div><div>Matsunami-Govreau has worked as social activist, arts educator and community organizer for nearly ten years. She is currently in the last year of the BFA program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has lived in Japan, Chicago, Madison, and New York City.</div><div><br /></div><div>Martin Solheim is an internationally published and galleried voyeur based out of Chicago and New York. Even though Martin has a background in product and fashion/commercial photography, his main interest is documenting the process of raw human emotion centered on physical and emotional pain, pleasure, and power roles specific to the subject to reflect the common denominator despite the differences in people’s time-honored labels. He has a talent of capturing moments with precision and odd timings, which stems from musical technicality and theory. Martins use of colored lighting is a paradox due to his inability to distinguish both</div><div>blue and red, which is one of the rarest forms of color blindness. He frequently goes back to his roots of “ninja-style” street photography to juxtapose socioeconomic hierarchies and the common man’s collapse thus allowing untold stories to be seen.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tamara Qabazard is a published model turned stylist: hair, make up, and wardrobe. Her use of highly pigmented palates reflects her experiences with synesthesia. As a recent biology graduate, her experimentation with structure, volume and technicality using hair as well as wardrobe design draws inspiration from the shapes and functions of the body and her Middle Eastern heritage. Tamara enjoys collaborating with other artists and is based out of Kuwait, Lebanon, Chicago, and NYC.</div><div><br /></div><div>4) 45th Presidency by Alex Dilks Pandola and Green Light Arts (Philadelphia)</div><div>Starring Natasha Lee Martin </div><div><br /></div><div>Description: It's January 20th, 2013 and you're invited to the inauguration of the 45th President of The United States of American, America's first woman President, Sarah Louise Palin.

DeMers, Susie Danielson, Stephanie Trevino, Amanda Mears, Dawn Hiltz</div><div><br /></div><div>Description: Women have traditionally gathered to discuss their desires, their passions, changes they want in the world, and their lives. Women have congregated around watering holes, in kitchens, in bathrooms, over quilts, and at tea tables, just to name a few. Six ladies from Finlandia University will be gathering together in the Raandesk Gallery to discuss their wants and desires for their lives and the world through narrative movement and sound.</div><div><br /></div><div>2)."Spoken For"</div><div><br /></div><div>Artists: Marina Kelly and Megan Katz with performers Michael Eckblad and Andrew Dayton of the Notion Collective</div><div><br /></div><div>Spoken For features women's intimate stories of want, using live performance and video in a multi-media exploration of women's desires as expressed via male voices. </div><div><br /></div><div>3). "Requesting Access"</div><div><br /></div><div>Description: Requesting Access is collaborative photo shoot performance by Chanel Matsunami Govreau (played by Asian Barbie), photographer Martin Solheim and makeup/hair artist Tamara Qabazard. This performance layers the exaggeration of cultural costuming over questionably (un)real storytelling. This is combined with the friction and vanity of flash photography to explore multiracial identity and gender in interracial relationships as it combines with expectations of sexuality and its possible profit.</div><div><br /></div><div>4) Title: 45th Presidency by Alex Dilks Pandola and Green Light Arts (Philadelphia)</div><div><br /></div><div>starring Natasha Lee Martin (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(49, 25, 26); ">FOX, TLC, DISNEY, NIPPON TV JAPAN)</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Description: It's January 20th, 2013 and you're invited to the inauguration of the 45th President of The United States of American, America's first woman President, Sarah Louise Palin.
