MFA SHOW APPROACHES
April 25–May 13 Reception: Friday, April 24, 7:00–9:00 p.m. Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State St., 7th floor
The MFA Show is the culminating presentation of MFA candidates and an opportunity for new and ambitious work to be presented to the public.Â
For more than four months, graduating MFA candidates work with a team of three distinguished Guest Curators and seven Graduate Curatorial Assistants to envision the exhibition. This invested approach allows for dialogue, process, and collaborative decision-making to guide the curatorial teams as they work together with more than 100 participating artists to bring the MFA Show to fruition over time.Â
This year's Guest Curators are Allison Peters Quinn, Director of Exhibitions at the Hyde Park Art Center; LucĂa Sanromán, an independent curator and writer; and Hamza Walker, Director of Education and Associate Curator for the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago. They have worked in collaboration with a team of Graduate Curatorial Assistants: Maggie Carrigan (MA 2015), Annie Cottrell (MFA 2015), Tally de Orellana (Dual MA 2016), Ariel Gentalen (MA 2015), Yiquing Li (MA 2015), Elizabeth Metcalfe (MA 2015), and Nicky Ni (BA Art History, 2015).

A LIVED PRACTICE SYMPOSIUM
November 6–8 The Art Institute of Chicago, Fullerton Hall, 111 S. Michigan Ave.
This weekend intensive program seeks to probe the reciprocal relationship of art and life: one can make a life as an artist, but we can all lead a meaningful life of heightened consciousness and awareness. So what can we glean from art practice to cultivate our own life practice? This has been a driving question throughout time and has taken many forms across civilizations. How can we address this question today? What can we learn from artists who are changing our communities and social landscape though their innovative cultural output and through the ways that they live their lives.
Featured Speakers Include:
Ken Dunn  Founder of the Chicago Resource Center—one of the first green community organizations of its kind.Â
Alistair Hudson Recently appointed Director of the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA).Â
Lewis Hyde Poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic with a particular interest in the public life of the imagination.
Ernesto Pujol (MFA 2007) Performance artist and social choreographer whose durational group performances are complex psychic portraits of societies.
Crispin Sartwell American philosopher, educator, and journalist.
Wolfgang Zumdick Author, philosopher, curator, and Joseph Beuys-Social Sculpture specialist, working internationally.Â

IN DIALOGUE: CLAIRE BISHOP AND CLAIRE DOHERTY
Thursday, October 2, 6:00 p.m. Rubloff Auditorium, 230 S. Columbus Dr.
This dialogue continues a season of critical thinking around social practice developed by SAIC to address this burgeoning and much-debated field.
Claire Bishop is an art historian and critic based in the PhD program in Art History at CUNY Graduate Center, New York. Her books include Installation Art: A Critical History, Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship, and Radical Museology, or, What’s Contemporary in Museums of Contemporary Art?.
Claire Doherty is founder and director of Situations, and renowned for pioneering new forms of public art in unexpected locations across the world.
This event is free and open to the public, and presented in collaboration with SAIC's Visiting Artists Program.Â
Via: Every Art Every ChildÂ
A very exciting series of events is taking place this fall through a collaborative partnership between SAIC (Sullivan Galleries) and a number of cultural institutions including The Stockyard Institute, Hull House, etc. The series entitled Artists as changemakers invites artists, critics, and academics in to a conversation around art as social practice. I urge our learning community to attend these events as it is rare to have so many excellent artists/thinker in one city addressing the topic of art as social practice. Perhaps we can attend the exhibition A Proximity of Consciousness: Art and Social Action at the Sullivan Galleries together the weekend we meet in October. I plan to attend the exhibition Saturday October 11th. Looking forward to talking with you about how social practice comes into the classroom and our own pedagogy.
Sullivan Galleries Public Receptions
September 19 will bring the public receptions for both current shows at the Sullivan Galleries: the Faculty Projects exhibit, and new work show entitled "Surface Tension."
FACULTY PROJECTS is an annual exhibition that presents work by SAIC faculty who have recently returned from sabbatical leave. While the artists featured vary in media, practice and production, each work on view is connected through the artist’s participation as part of the SAIC community. By sharing their current work, faculty show how their research, projects, and work contribute to the local, national, and international art and design community. Curated by Assistant Director of Exhibitions Morgan Walsh (Dual MA 2012).
Featuring work by Claudia Hart, Anke Loh, Lou Mallozzi, Helen Maria Nugent, Carolyn Ottmers, Roxie Tremonto, and Andrew S. Yang.
SURFACE TENSION presents new work by current students selected through portfolio reviews by the SAIC Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies Committee. Through critical and exploratory approaches to material and making, the artists in this exhibition investigate the poetic potential of erasure, the physical limits of a medium, the stability of the body and the politics of viewership. They resist, respond to and redefine their environments, complicating and calling into question the strength of the surface and what lies underneath. Curated by Graduate Curatorial Assistants Cassie Carpenter (Dual MA 2015) and Elisabeth Smith (Dual MA 2015) with Curatorial Assistant Taylor Hughes (BA 2016).
Featuring work by:Â
SELVA APARICIOÂ (BFA) BACHAR BACHARAÂ (MFA) SIMON BELLEAUÂ (MFA '15) NAAMA HADANYÂ (MFA '15) KEVIN B. LEEÂ (MFA Film, Video, New Media; MA Visual & Critical Studies) KELLY LLOYDÂ (MFA Painting & Drawing; MA Visual & Critical Studies) LEAH MACKINÂ (MFA Printmedia '15) GULSAH MURSALOGLUÂ (MFA Painting & Drawing '15) JACOB RAEDERÂ (MFA Ceramics '15) YONG CHU SONÂ DANIEL SPANGLER LEONARD SURYAJAYAÂ (MFA Photography)
The receptions will run from 6-9pm at the Sullivan Galleries.
The SAIC Sullivan Galleries are free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 11am - 6pm, and located at 33 S. State St., 7th floor.
