FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 18, 2006
WHAT: What happens to a visual experience when it is seen in more than one place at a time? In an exhibition that crosses and evolves over a three-state area, the curators of Working Frameworks have collaborated to create a cross disciplinary/cross-institutional/tri-state art network. When an object of art moves from one locale to another, it demonstrates the allegorical and material alignments and displacements that unwittingly occur when it is witnessed in one place and then another.
"Working Frameworks is an event accumulating force as it moves through and about time," says Saul Appelbaum, one of the curators of Working Frameworks and a video artist. The website for Working Frameworks is also one of the art works in the exhibition:http://www.workingframeworks.com. This enigmatic website appears to be the navigational scope of a submarine, but with a few clever clicking maneuvers will take you to images of the show and to interactive web-based art. The site also tracks the activities of the exhibitions other locales.
Each of the forty participating artists' work will be in a traveling display that began at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York in September and the Knowlton School of Architecture and Skylab Gallery in Columbus, Ohio in October. The show will complete its run at Columbia College Chicago's C33 Gallery and Conoway Center from November 17, 2006 - January 5, 2007.
Chicago participants include members of performance and video art collective, ie, and Masters Degree candidates and alumni from Columbia College Chicago's MA and MFA programs in Interdisciplinary Arts: Heather Hartley, Casey Murtaugh, Elizabeth Czekner, Matthew Kopp, Mel Racho, Diane Derr, and exhibit coordinator, Todd Kephart.
Working Frameworks utilizes performance, installation, flat art, photography, multi-channel video, new media and space/time travel as source material for this genre-defying exhibition.
