SUMMARY:Artist Panel: Refining The Third Ear
DESCRIPTION:A series of concerts and talks exploring the third ear and other psychoacoustic phantasmagoria.\n\n\nRefining The Third Ear – Artist Panel\nSeptember 20\, 2025\n1:00-3:00pm\nDoors at 12:30pm \nTickets: \n$10 Student – use code STUDENT at checkout \n(Valid Student ID will be requested at the door) \n$15 GA \nFree for IMSS Members  \nTickets include Museum admission \n\n\nOrganized by Itsï Ramirez and Bret Schneider \n \nA discussion between musicians Bret Schneider\, Itsï Ramirez\, and Lula Asplund on the history of avant-garde art and music\, and the unfinished task of creating and developing music for the Third Ear. Together they will discuss what the 21st-century music maker’s relationship is to this history and its forms\, its failures\, and its lingering demands. \n \nOver four concerts artists premier third ear music — music which emphasizes the listening faculty as an active instrument. The late composer Maryanne Amacher appropriated the term third ear to describe a music that expands the latent perceptual capabilities of the ear\, composing music that transforms the ear itself into a sound-producing\, neurophonic instrument. Such music is a projection of new aesthetic forms\, a virtuality that anticipates the augmentation of both the creative and listening process. If Amacher’s ambitious work was to make the third ear\, we ask what it would mean to refine the third ear\, to compose music for and with it. We aim to explore how we apperceive musical material\, and the ways in which new harmonic experiences can cultivate new emotions and stimulate the imagination. \n \nHeard melodies are sweet\, but those unheard \nAre sweeter; therefore\, ye soft pipes\, play on; \nNot to the sensual ear\, but\, more endear’d\, \nPipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: \nFair youth\, beneath the trees\, thou canst not leave \nThy song\, nor ever can those trees be bare \n– Keats \nFurther reading: \nGroundwork for a Study of Maryanne Amacher \nLa Monte Young’s Orphic Revolution \nInterview with Michael Harrison \n \n\n\n\nLula Asplund is an experimental composer and Chicago-based sound artist. Her work invokes voice as object and atmosphere—dislocated\, refracted\, tactile. Using spectral play\, vocal manipulation\, and fragmented sound poetry\, she enters the nonlinear logic of dream and memory. Asplund has a BFA from Mills College and has performed at Center for New Music and Audio Technologies\, The Lab SF\, CalArts\, Elastic Arts\, Bohemian National Cemetery\, and Experimental Sound Studio.  \n \n\n\n\nItsï Ramirez is a Chicago based musician. Stepping out of the naturalized preoccupation with sound as sound\, she takes on the project of recovering a new music that has been forgotten. \n\n\n\nBret Schneider is a composer\, essayist\, and poet. For the first quarter of the 21st century\, Schneider has attempted to synthesize the outer limits of third ear music with modern beauty. Via novel formal experiments\, his music cultivates dreamspace and reverie. Recent works include live-composing to a just-intoned player piano. Schneider is also a co-founder of Caesura Magazine. \n \n@bret_fall

SUMMARY:From the Battlefield to the Operating Theater
DESCRIPTION:Trace the pioneers\, patients\, and drama behind modern plastic surgery—where war\, courage\, and innovation reshaped medicine and humanity.\n\n\nLecture:\n \nFrom the Battlefield to the Operating Theater: How Plastic Surgery Emerged from the Great Wars\nPravin K. Patel. MD FACS \n \n6:00pm-8:00pm\nFree with RSVP\n \n\n\nBehind every breakthrough in plastic surgery lies a story. This lecture brings to life the extraordinary cast of characters who turned the chaos of war into the dawn of modern reconstructive plastic surgery. Set against the backdrop of the Great Wars\, the “theater” took on many meanings: a battlefield of destruction\, an operating theater of innovation\, and a dramatic stage where courage\, compassion\, and creativity played leading roles. From visionary surgeons to the wounded soldiers who became both patients and pioneers\, we explore how these real-life actors transformed suffering into science\, and laid the foundation for a field that continues to restore form\, function—and humanity. \n\n\n\nPravin K. Patel. MD FACS is the Mimis N. Cohen Professor of Surgery\, Chief of the Division of Plastic\, Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery\, and Director of the Craniofacial Center at the University of Illinois\, Chicago. Trained in physics\, engineering\, and medicine\, he brings a unique perspective to the art and science of reconstructive surgery of the face. A lifelong lover of history\, Dr. Patel is especially drawn to the story of how modern plastic surgery was born from the devastation of the Great Wars. His talk\, From the Battlefield to the Operating Theater\, gives voice to the exhibit The Artistry of Plastic Surgery—tracing how courage\, compassion\, and creativity transformed wartime suffering into a legacy of restoring both form and humanity.
