SUMMARY:Faith Wilding: Fearful Symmetries
DESCRIPTION:“Faith Wilding: Fearful Symmetries” the first retrospective exhibition of the influential feminist artist who played a key role in the formation of the Feminist Art Program at California State University in Fresno in 1970 and at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia in 1971. \nWilding was a major contributor to the historically significant month-long collaborative installation Womanhouse\, sited in an abandoned mansion in Los Angeles in 1972\, where she performed her highly celebrated work Waiting. \n“Faith Wilding: Fearful Symmetries” includes a selection of works from Wilding’s studio practice spanning the past forty years\, highlighting a range of works on paper – drawings\, watercolors\, collage and paintings – exhibited together here for the first time. Taking up key\, allegorical imagery in Wilding’s work\, the exhibition focuses on themes of “becoming\,” both the transformative event itself\, and the threshold to transfiguration. This state of in-between-ness is articulated through imagery of leaves\, the chrysalis\, hybrid beings\, and liminal circumstances themselves\, such as “waiting\,” the subject of Wilding’s two prominent performances Waiting and Wait-With. \nFriday\, Feb. 16\n5pm Artist Talk with Faith Wilding\n6-8pm Reception \nMore information

SUMMARY:Will Taylor: The End of the Rainbow
DESCRIPTION:On June 1\, 2017\, the first day of Pride\, there was an early morning fire. Firefighters fought the fire for hours\, but by sunrise\, the Rainbow Lounge\, one of the few gay bars in Forth Worth\, TX\, had mysteriously burned to the ground. When I heard the news the following morning\, I immediately dialed my friend Travis\, who I knew was at the bar the previous night. “Travis\, what the…” I begin to exclaim before he interrupted me saying\, I know… and I’m OK.” We both fell silent\, in shock\, trying to wrap our heads around the situation. As queer Fort Worthians\, we remember this bar as the outlet for our first glimpses into queer culture. It was a sanctuary for LGBTQ Texans to gather in town\, as there weren’t many other places for us to go. Although the physical structure has now been torn down completely\, the Rainbow Lounge still embodies important historical significance for queer people in the area. \nOn June 28\, 2009\, on the 40th anniversary of the historic Stonewall Riots\, the Rainbow Lounge was unjustly raided by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) and the Fort Worth Police Department. Many arrests for public intoxication were made and customer Chad Gibson received a major head/brain injury while in custody. A later investigation concluded that the Rainbow Lounge was unjustly targeted for being a gay bar\, and the use of force during the event was excessive. \nThe 2009 raid of the Rainbow Lounge instigated a social media page promoting awareness of this horrific event\, and local organizers protested at the Tarrant County Courthouse in downtown Fort Worth shortly after. Since then\, some people view this event as a catalyst for positive change\, citing and increased awareness of issues surrounding the community\, the establishment of anti-bullying programs\, and community outreach to LGBTQ people who are deaf\, Muslim\, or Asian. \nThe work featured in this exhibition was created in reaction to the fire that took place on June 1\, 2017. Before the building was completely demolished\, Travis and I scaled the fences surrounding the structure\, venturing into the ruins\, to collect and document as much as we could. The imagery depicted in the artwork was created through memories\, photo and video documentation\, objects collected from the ruins\, and abstract representations of experiences we shared at the Rainbow Lounge\, in addition to the fire that destroyed it.

SUMMARY:Erin Mallea: Maintaining Utopia
DESCRIPTION:February 2–9\, 2018\nOpening Friday\, February 2nd\, 7–10pm\nPublic hours and ongoing performance Sat + Sun\, Feb 3rd + 4th\, 3–6pm\nAlso available to view by appointment \n  \nAll bureaucracies are to a certain degree utopian\, in the sense that they propose an abstract ideal that real human beings can never live up to.\n– David Graeber\, “The Utopia of Rules” \n  \n  \nMuseum and archival maintenance standards often point to their own unsustainability and eventual demise. Idealized “environmental conditioning” specifications fantasize an impossible reality: a world without dust\, decay\, bias\, human error\, or budget cuts. When does care for a specific memory\, ghost\, or object fade and become overtaken by a commitment to protocol\, systematic procedure\, and data points? Environmental and ideological conditioning often collapse and enmesh within practices of preservation. National mythology naturalized and propped up by places demarcated as worth the labor of remembering. \nIn 2017\, Erin Mallea spent three months at Old Economy Village (OEV) a regional museum and historic site to learn more about the living history of historic maintenance. Located along the Ohio River 18 miles northwest of Pittsburgh\, OEV “preserves and presents the life\, thought\, and material culture of the Harmony Society\,” a religious\, utopian\, and socialist seppartist community that settled in Pennsylvania in 1805. Old Economy administers six acres of land including 17 original buildings and recreated orchards and gardens. The collection is home to roughly 16\,000 objects ranging from original furniture and paintings to mail correspondence\, an unfinished replica of the Harmonists’ public natural history museum\, and the coded traces of practicing alchemists. \nAs a living history museum\, the lines between historic and non historic object are continually blurred. The entire site and grounds become an historic object – living plants are part of the collection\, an accessioned stand-in and replica of what no longer exists. The staff works to recreate life in the 19th century to the best of their ability with consistently declining financial resources\, volunteers\, and staff. Educators focus on the tasks that were required to maintain the original utopian project. They reenact outmoded forms of craft and labor for school children while enacting contemporary labor in the hopes of maintaining a more recent humanist project threatened by unsustainability: the museum itself. \n“Maintaining Utopia” examines the ritualized behaviors of care surrounding historic maintenance and the codification of history and knowledge. Developed from the artist’s fieldwork at Old Economy Village\, the exhibition combines video\, photography\, and sculpture to generate a new museum collection that highlights human actors\, loss and fragility\, the common reality of operating without enough information\, and the skewed and incomplete nature of knowledge production – flawed and inscribed by the tools and biases at hand. \n“Maintaining Utopia” was made possible with the support of the Carnegie Mellon Graduate Education GuSH Research Fund and the generosity of the staff and volunteers at Old Economy Village.

SUMMARY:Chantal Striepe: Here Somewhere There
DESCRIPTION:Senior Chantal Striepe’s (BHA ’18) solo exhibition\, “Here Somewhere There\,” is an installation work that displays a set of artistic pieces\, which derive from a larger series of art installation works. This larger series explores the connection between the artist’s mind and body through the documentation of movement. In particular\, this Ellis Gallery exhibition presents a singular representation of the boundaries of the human mind and body with regards to being present\, aware\, and mindful through the use and unspoken restrictions of materiality and other formal components of the installation works. The artist aims to present a tangible representation of the human\, the artist’s\, mind and body while in a state of mindfulness and awareness. Careful consideration is made in terms of the use of line\, form\, scale\, magnitude\, lighting\, and space. \n“Here Somewhere There” is a part of a collection of installation works that form Striepe’s ongoing senior BXA Capstone\, “Untangling.” In this BXA Capstone\, she attempts to capture the contingent quality\, or subject to chance nature\, of the human gesture in order to speak to the correlation between the mind and body by way of emphasizing the coexistence of scale and magnitude in relation to presence and absence.

SUMMARY:Ephmera
DESCRIPTION:“Ephemera” highlights a diverse selection of artwork that explores the duality of transience and permanence through a rich variety of techniques and themes. The exhibition features School of Art students Matthew Constant\, Ariana Daly\, October Donoghue\, Andrew Edwards\, and Summer Leavitt. \nFrom the Greek root ephemeros\, the word “ephemera” refers to forms whose existence is fleeting by nature. Like wildflowers pressed between pages\, things that serve a distinct purpose for a brief period can gain a timelessness that transcends their original temporality. The human impulse to record and archive results in a kind of afterlife; a subjective\, often distorted composite of personal experience and memory of the tangible and intangible past. \nThrough an eclectic display of work by junior and senior undergraduate students at the School of Art\, “Ephemera” invites a re-examination of artistic practice and audience experience. Ethereal textures in two and three-dimensional forms subvert traditional representational types\, while dynamic installations evoke a multisensory dialogue between artist and audience. The selection of works in this exhibit looks beyond singular artistic forms in the pursuit of a nuanced expression of the space between ephemerality and eternity. \n“Ephemera” is on view February 23 to April 1. An opening reception will be held on February 23 at 7:00pm. \nExhibition website

SUMMARY:Angela Washko Plays “The Game: The Game”
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with her current solo exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image and the online release of “The Game: The Game\,” Professor Angela Washko will discuss the multi-year research process behind her pick-up artist dating simulator. In addition to walking the audience through her research\, Washko will screen excerpts from her interview with a seduction coach who has been dubbed “The Web’s Most Infamous Misogynist” and highlight instructional DVDs\, books\, and hidden-camera videos created by a community of pick-up artists who teach men how to interact with and seduce women. The talk will close with a participatory play-through of “The Game: The Game” facilitated by the artist. \n“The Game: The Game” is a video game presenting the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists) through the format of a dating simulator. In the game these pick-up gurus attempt to seduce the player using their signature techniques taken verbatim from their instructional books and video materials. The game sets up the opportunity for players to explore the complexity of the construction of social behaviors around dating as well as the experience of being a femme-presenting individual navigating this complicated terrain.
