Past Tours & Lectures at Around the Coyote
Reading The Remains Our Reading the Remains art exhibition opened with a symposium on May 12, 2007, divided into three sections: Form - Noon to 1:30& - Dakota Brown, Ismiaji Cahyono, Julia Marsh Projection Sciumbato - 2 to 3:30 - Kelly Mullendore, Ann Pandjiris, Michelle Object Mallin - 4 to 5:30 - Mayi Carles, Garland Taylor, Sarah Jane This exhibition featured work by MA graduates from the Visual and Critical Studies Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Each artist weaved processes of making, seeing, writing, criticism, theory, history, and politics into his or her own hybrid practice. These explorations worked to achieve recuperative analyses of how past and future remains fall apart and reform. By experiencing these disintegrating pieces transformed into images, language and feeling, there is hope that we become present and attentive-even if only for a moment-to the potential for change. The exhibition ran from May 12 to June 2, 2007 at the Around the Coyote Gallery, 1935-1/2 W. North Ave. The symposium was free and open to the public.
