SUMMARY:Worlds Within
DESCRIPTION:Co-curated by School of Art Professor John Carson and Lugene Bruno\, Worlds Within is on view at the Miller Gallery from September 23 to November 12 and at the Hunt Botanical Institute from September 22 to December 15. \nWorlds Within is a unique collaboration between the Hunt Institute and The Miller Gallery. The two venues\, at either end of the Carnegie Mellon University campus\, will be exhibiting work by British artist Rob Kesseler\, alongside 19th-century botanical wall charts from Carl Ignaz Leopold Kny’s series Botanische Wandtafeln. Complementing the forms represented in these charts and photographs will be a selection of models of marine organisms made of glass in the 19th-century by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka and made of glacite in the early 20th-century by Edwin H. Reiber. The glass models have been kindly loaned by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. \nThe work in the Hunt Institute offers a more comprehensive comparison between the micrographs and the historical charts and models\, while the Miller Gallery exhibition features a fuller range of Kesseler’s recent art work. Both sections of this joint exhibition celebrate the extraordinary aesthetic interrelationships between historically different methods of visually interpreting the wonders of botanical phenomena\, which are not readily visible to the naked eye. \nMore information

SUMMARY:Hadi Tabatabai: Transitional Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by wats:ON? Festival\, Transitional Spaces is on view September 23 to November 12. \nThrough an elegant combination of drawing\, painting and sculpture\, Hadi Tabatabai’s work describes a place that is as much an idea as a physical location. These compositions embody liminality: that is\, they create a constant experience of sensations that exist at the limen\, or edge\, of perception. To bring about this state\, Tabatabai has removed all possible distractions. Narrative and figuration\, even figure and ground\, have been excised from these delicate combinations of squares\, rectangles and floating lines. \nTabatabai uses the physical nature of the materials to create subtle shifts within the surface plane.  The lines are delineated by slightly raised or lowered edges of materials to create works that straddle the realm of the pictorial and the sculptural.  Through the use of light and shadow\, depth of field\, and other optical obfuscations\, the positive and negative space in the paintings becomes indeterminate.  His work evokes the relationship between what is imagined on the surface and what is actually rendered—in a sense questioning what is being “looked at” or “seen.” \nFor the past twenty years Tabatabai has devoted his attention to a very tiny area—an area that comprises the physicality of a line and functions as the transitional space between two entities. He views the ‘line’ as empty space without an agenda or allegiance; it is neither here nor there. Tabatabai believes that by paying attention to this tiny\, subtle\, yet detailed space\, one is forced to turn away from the outside world and focus inward on one’s own interior space. \nMore information

SUMMARY:Grace Simmons & Sarah Kim: 6 or 7 souls
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Statement\nCapturing the past through a lens of make-believe and revision\, “6 or 7 Souls” is a collection of paintings that we see as an attempt to “reincarnate” via portraiture\, or through spaces once inhabited. These pieces are fragments of personal histories; memories persist\, but they’re malleable and capricious\, shifting as a result of our present perspectives and experiences to date.

SUMMARY:Polis: Gindroz Prize Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Frame Gallery presents “Polis\,” an exhibition of the winners of the Grindroz prize\, a stipend to support summer research in Europe by a music or architecture student. \nArtist Statements\nsonic heterotopias explores the ephemeral and occluded features of the poetics of space through the process of sound recording as a compositional process. This project looks for the rhythms\, cycles\, paths\, and timbres that define spaces (by their circulations\, their programs\, their acoustics\, or their histories) and frames these as the basis of a way to structure music; for this work\, these are found in the public transit systems\, the churches\, and the public spaces in all corners of Europe. The goal is to produce a new way of listening to the world and through that a new attention to that which is mystical\, surreal\, and evocative in the world around us\, but is most often tuned out of our perception\, caught up in the chaos of daily modern life.\n-Theodore Teichman \nDocumenting the interventions of shared space across highly populated European cities by analyzing streets and plazas that have been recently adjusted to accommodate the pedestrian. The woonerf creates a sense of circulation and communication between the human\, vehicle\, and their interaction. Highlighting shared spaces based on nodes\, edges\, and landmarks demonstrates the commonalities of these public zones and perhaps reveals a safer joint space suited for the human and their means of social interaction.\n-Elizabeth Levy

SUMMARY:Jakob Marsico & Chris Carlson: Body Drift
DESCRIPTION:“Body Drift” is an immersive audiovisual performance that uses video-driven animation and multi-channel sound to examine the subtle shifts that take place in the development and degradation of sensory perception. \nThe work aims to examine our unnoticed drifts in perception over time by creating moments of realization and convergence through sound and pattern. The piece will structurally mirror our growth and evolution of perception with age. \nMultiple performers will be on stage sitting or standing in a custom-fabricated rig. From a distance they will appear to be still. As the performance evolves\, it will become apparent that the performers are moving on a micro scale; their movements are being captured and magnified on the large projection screens. \nThere will be a reception on both November 3 and 4 at 6:30pm\, followed by the performance at 7:30pm in Kresge Theatre. An informal master class with Jakob Marsico and Chris Carlson\, providing a backstage look at the technologies behind ‘Body Drift’\, takes place immediately following the performances. “Body Drift” is presented as part of the wats:ON? Festival.

SUMMARY:Alex Lukas: 87.5 to 107.9\, 530 to 1710
DESCRIPTION:“White noise\, more white noise\, more white noise. He tries the AM bands\, then the FM. Nothing. Just that sound\, like the sound of starlight scratching its way through outer space: kkkkkkkk. Then he tries the short-wave. He moves the dial slowly and carefully. Maybe there are other countries\, distant countries\, where the people may have escaped… They wouldn’t have escaped though.” -Margaret Atwood\, Oryx and Crake \n_ __ __ __ _\nI \ / II \ / II \ / II \ / I\nI / \ II / \ II / \ II / \ I\n87.5 to 107.9\, 530 to 1710 \nAlex Lukas\nOpening November 3rd\, 7 – 10 pm\nGallery Hours November 4th + 5th 4 – 7 pm (and by appointment)\nClosing November 8th 7 – 10 pm \nOn November 2nd\, 1920 (ninety-seven years and one day before the exhibition opening) the world’s first commercial radio broadcast was heard on KDKA Pittsburgh\, then known as 8ZZ. Utilizing technology developed by engineer and enthusiast Frank Conrad just a few blocks from Powder Room\, the voice of Leo Rosenberg relayed presidential election results to a rapt local audience before the arrival of the next morning’s newspaper. It was\, at the time\, a historically speedy conveyance of information. \nToday when the radio dial in the car scans endlessly\, looping back and forth from 87.5 to 107.9 to 87.5\, it indicates that one is “out there”\, isolated\, driving incommunicado. When the radio signal is removed\, it can be a sign of distress or dislocation. Witness the jarring tone of the Emergency Broadcast System\, a monthly cold war hangover injected into the home. It is not surprising that this losing-the-signal has become a trope of post-apocalyptic fiction\, a metaphor for societal breakdown epitomized by the absence of pop-connectivity. No more news and weather on the tens. No more top 40. No more pledge drives. This removal of information becomes a slowing\, a breakdown\, a reversion to an uncomfortable pre-technological age. \n_ __ __ __ _\nI \ / II \ / II \ / II \ / I\nI / \ II / \ II / \ II / \ I (pronounced: 87.5 to 107.9\, 530 to 1710) presents new sculptures and paintings by Alex Lukas examining this space of breakdown. Interrogating the aesthetics of radio both historically and in speculative post-apocalyptic futures\, Lukas’ work examines removal of the lifeline provided by terrestrial broadcast. Through a series of works utilizing the format of the digital display\, an efficient form capable of replicating the English alphabet\, select punctuation\, and digits 0 – 9\, Lukas presents relics of radio in an imagined future.

SUMMARY:Dine in the Dark: a Dinner pARTy
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Statement\nDinner pARTy is a community engagement project in the form of a series of dinner events on CMU’s campus by undergraduate students Daniel See (BHA’19)\, Sarah Stinson-Hurwitz (BHA’18)\, Faith Kaufman (BD’18)\, and Nick Boston (BS’18). Our goal is to organize a unique dinner party every month to create inclusive experiences and thought-provoking conversations\, while promoting a greater sense of diversity\, intimacy\, and community across various social circles and campus sub-communities. \n \nFor this month’s Dinner pARTy\, we organized a smaller dinner party with just 10 randomly chosen strangers from the CMU community\, including students\, faculty\, and staff. The guests ate and interacted with other guests in the dark\, creating an environment and conversation free from bias that comes so easily from judging appearances. \nWe invite you now to listen to the conversation conducted during the dinner.

SUMMARY:Summer Leavitt: We have a future\, perhaps.
DESCRIPTION:The Frame Gallery presents a solo exhibition by senior Summer Leavitt with an opening reception on November 10\, 6-9pm. \nExhibition Statement\n“In the absence of institutionalized documentation or in opposition to official histories\, memory becomes a valuable historical resource\, and ephemeral and personal collections of objects stand alongside the documents of the dominant culture in order to offer alternative modes of knowledge” *an Ann Cvetkovich quote featured in Queer Times\, Queer Becomings* . Also featured in Queer Times\, Queer Becomings are references to the Derridean archive fever\, “to be en mal d’archive (in need of archives) is not just to desire a past\, but to burn with a passion for origins; a nostalgia\, a homesickness.” This show is a collection of seeking origins and creating\, documenting\, archiving moments of my own queer existence and queer desire to prolong them\, find representation\, take myself into the future. Thinking about time and erasure\, these works are a declaration and affirmation of my existence\, constructing a narrative in which no matter what the future is\, I\, as a queer person\, can still exist.”

SUMMARY:Darya Kharabi: No Different From Your Other
DESCRIPTION:Artist Statement\nI discovered something in my life at age 14: to be woman is to fear. This motif manifested in my art\, beginning in the form of a series of “truisms” I attached to my vehicle from ages 16-18. This show is about women and pain. Suffering in a medical context is a fairly new addition to my life. Suffering in a medical context as a woman has historically been dismissed and looked over; one recognizable form is in the history of breast cancer. Through this show\, I hope to bring to light some of the silent pain women have had to carry for centuries.

SUMMARY:Gray Swartzel: Mother Tongue No. II
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening: Friday November 17th\, 7–10pm\nPublic Hours: November 18th and 19th\, 3 – 6pm \n“A little light enters me. Something inside me begins to stir. Barely. Something new has moved me. As though I’d taken a first step inside myself. As if a breath of air had penetrated a completely petrified being\, unsticking its mass. Waking me from a long sleep. From an ancient dream. A dream which must not have been my own\, but in which I was captive. Was I a participant\, or was I the dream itself­­—another’s dream\, a dream about another?”\n-One Doesn’t Stir without the Other\, Luce Irigaray and Hélène Vivienne Wenzel \n\nUpon coming across a home video that presents both his pregnant mother and the artist as a newborn\, Gray Swartzel performs a slapstick drag persona of his mother in order to queer his existence prior to birth. The exhibition features new photographs\, video and installation that depicts the pair in 1991 and in 2017 as they perform their mother child relationship.

SUMMARY:To Exist (Is to Be)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Statement\n“To Exist (Is to Be)” is a joint exhibition constructed by Chantal Striepe and Jessica Tsai\, who are both interdisciplinary artists and seniors at Carnegie Mellon University. Delving into the human existence and their relationship to the cosmos\, this exhibition examines the dialogue between the human inclination to control their lives and role of the omnipotent\, omnipresent universe. The concept of time is addressed as a human construct and is reflected on in juxtaposition to the inexplicable\, continual forces of the cosmos. This way of the universe is embodied through the notion of balance and harmony\, which presents itself by way of opposing forces and the idea that something exists because something else exists in opposition to it. Time in its broadest sense is defined by the distinction between the “past\,” the “present\,” and “the future” as well as the distinction between the “day” and “night.” While human beings are endlessly trying to characterize and measure the world around them to better function and communicate cohesively and effectively\, the universe is the ultimate decision maker for the process of events and controlling force of the activities and outcomes in life.

SUMMARY:Earthly Delights
DESCRIPTION:Earthly Delights is an exploration of a utopian world. Through painting and installation\, undergraduates Sydney Krantz and Coco Allred have created an ethereal scene that offers its audience a much needed respite. \nAllred combines the mechanical and manual processes of painting\, printmaking\, and paper cutting\, Allred’s tyvek tapestries cascade\, peel\, and lift from the gallery walls. Somewhere in between a stage and its scaffolding\, Earthly Delights is both a space for performance and observation. Pockets between panels of paper become cocoons. Layers of shadow move across the floor in the passing light. The work becomes a setting for reflection\, rejuvenation and gathering. \nKrantz’s paintings feature masses of pinks and greens and ochres atop fields of undulating color and light that work together to create heavenly spaces. Grounded in lush\, land like forms\, these spaces draw on our sensorial earthly experiences\, while imagining something beyond them. Each painting depicts these heavenscapes from a different perspective. Within this series\, these spaces are explored from inside\, from above\, from miles away\, and from under a microscope. Through these articulations\, Krantz invites the viewer to consider the idea of a world that’s both terrestrial and sublime\, a world that elevates our earthly delights.
