SUMMARY:Performance: Katinka Kleijn & Caroline Jesalva - Eclipsed Bodies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a performance exploring female health and identity.\n\n\nPerformance – Katinka Kleijn & Caroline Jesalva – Eclipsed Bodies\n\nMarch 14\, 2025\n7:00-9:00pm\nDoors at 6:30pm– \nMarch 14\, 2025\n7:00-9:00pm\nDoors at 6:30pm \nTickets: \n$10 Student – use code STUDENT at checkout \n(Valid Student ID will be requested at the door) \n$10 IMSS Members Presale – use code IMSSMEMBER at checkout \n(Valid IMSS Membership card will be requested at door) \n$15 GA Presale \n– \n$15 Student & IMSS Members (With valid ID & Membership Card) at Door \n$20 GA at Door \n\n\nEclipsed Bodies is a theatrically devised work for improvised cello\, violin\, and electronics by the intergenerational duo of Caroline Jesalva and Katinka Kleijn. Drawing from post-structuralist theories on female identity\, Eclipsed Bodies explores resisting stereotypical representations of the ‘feminine physique’ through unorthodox performance and parodic identities.   \n\n\n\nAbout the Duo: \nJesalva and Kleijn have carved out a shared practice that continuously morphs their beings\, bodies\, presents\, and pasts—both as women and as string players—into a mix of heavy instrumentalism\, conceptual theater\, and experimental sound worlds. Seemingly tethered to their instruments as extended creative limbs\, both welcome and loaded\, they clearly consider their entire selves as the source of their creative practice. \nAn intergenerational collaboration based in Chicago\, Jesalva/Kleijn will present Eclipsed Bodies at the International Museum of Surgical Science on March 14 and 16\, 2025. The piece is a devised interdisciplinary work that explores post-structuralist theories on female identity and (dis)embodiment in female sexuality and gender. \n– \nCaroline Jesalva is a performing artist\, curator\, and violinist-vocalist who traverses between the worlds of improvisation\, devised theatre and experimental sound. Her musical universe is a vivid collage of Dadaist absurdity\, theatrical whimsy\, raw songwriting\, ecstatic glossolalia\, and the unbridled energy of free improvisation. An adventurous spirit at heart\, she thrives on sharing music in unexpected places and forging electrifying collaborations across disciplines. From composers to puppeteers\, rappers to visual artists\, she weaves a tapestry of creative synergy. Her current projects include the genre-bending bands Banana Acid\, Blind Glass\, and Joygarden\, as well as Music in the Garden\, a vibrant Chicago festival uniting improvisers and visual artists in kaleidoscopic collaboration.  \n– \nHailed by The New York Times as “a player of formidable expressive gifts\,” Katinka Kleijn enjoys a genre-defying\, interdisciplinary career. Classically trained\, she has cultivated an exploratory practice at the intersection of improvisation\, composition\, and collaboration. Much of Kleijn’s work illuminates the cello’s anthropomorphic qualities\, often by placing the instrument in thought-provoking new contexts. Her collaborations with the performance art duo Industry of the Ordinary resulted in the widely publicized Intelligence in the Human-Machine\, a duet between Kleijn’s cello and her own brain waves which Time magazine called “a balancing act for Kleijn’s whole body.” Kleijn presents many of her conceptual projects as co-constructions with the performer(s) or audience\, as in her situation-based composition Forward Echo\, for 11 improvisers (2019)\, performed at Big Ears Festival by Ensemble Dal Niente. A member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and International Contemporary Ensemble\, she presented solo projects at North Carolina Performing Arts\, the Library of Congress\, and the Chicago Humanities Festival. She recorded for the SONY Japan\, Cedille Records and Drag City labels. \n\n\n\nThis project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events. \nThis project is supported\, in whole or in part\, by federal assistance listing number\, 21.027 awarded to the International Museum of Surgical Science by the US Treasury through the American Rescue Plan Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in the amount of $125\,000.00\, representing 83% of total project funding. \nThis project is partially supported by a Chicago Arts Recovery Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events. \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of SurgicalScience acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: SAMA Biomedical Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a new exhibition by the Student Association of Medical Artists (SAMA) from the University of Illinois Chicago!\n\n\nThe SAMA Biomedical Art Show\n \nOpening Reception\nMarch 21st\, 6:00pm-8:00pmFree with RSVP\n\n\n\nThe SAMA Biomedical Art Show is an exhibition featuring works by members of the Student Association of Medical Artists (SAMA) from the University of Illinois Chicago. This gallery celebrates the unique intersection of biological science\, medicine\, and art\, highlighting the essential role of biomedical visualization in education\, communication\, and discovery. \nFrom traditional illustrations to digital graphics\, 3D animations\, and beyond\, biomedical artists translate complex scientific concepts into engaging\, accessible visuals. As both storytellers and communicators\, they craft compelling narratives that clarify intricate medical information\, making it easier to understand for diverse audiences. Their work bridges the gap between healthcare professionals and the public\, transforming data and discoveries into visuals that inform\, inspire\, and educate. By collaborating with scientists\, healthcare providers\, and patients\, biomedical artists illuminate lesser-known\, underrepresented\, and emerging areas of biological science. \nGrounded in principles of diversity\, inclusion\, and ethics\, biomedical visualization is more than just an artistic endeavor—it is a tool for education\, inspiration\, and exploration in an increasingly digital world. The wide range of media on display reflects the ever-evolving landscape of scientific and medical education. \nUltimately\, this exhibition invites viewers to discover the multidisciplinary field of biomedical visualization and appreciate its profound impact in making science both educational and equitable. \n\n\nArtists:  \nAdam Kessler\, Alex Dimeff\, Anna Waddell\, Amanda Dazo\, Ashley Yuhm\, Bren Alford\, Chelsey Crile\, Chloe Best\, Court Johnson\, Elizabeth Eleni Perakes\, Emma Geis\, Fabianna Morell\, Hanie Jaffery\, Hannah Hurst\, Hayley D’Alessandro\, Isabella Bushko\, Janejira Nasaree\, Joanna Wiedl\, Jordan Aranda\, Juliana Bozeman\, Kassandra Baker\, Katherine Khuu\, Liana Lanford\, Madison Taylor\, Marco Moreno\, Mckenzie Dulmes\, Melinda Thompson\, Michelle Soltys\, Nimisha Antony\, Sam Kobel\, Terri Schlessinger\, Vivian Zhuang\, Yuming Wang \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of SurgicalScience acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.
