SUMMARY:Performance: Fading Out of Dead Air
DESCRIPTION:Fading Out of Dead Air | Martin O’Brien\n\n\n\nFading Out of Dead Air explores mortality through ideas of immortality. The durational performance by UK-based artist Martin O’Brien will happen in a historic mansion and take the form of a strange séance of actions. Viewers are invited to experience the performance as they move through the space freely\, encountering fragmented voices\, distorted sounds\, and haunting imagery. It will last three hours or until the dead make contact\, whichever comes first. \n\n\n\nInspired by hospital radio and pop culture references to ghosts being heard only through analogue technologies\, this work explores the human desire to communicate and record. In a strange and eerie landscape\, O’Brien shuffles around\, recording and playing half heard voices and unholy sounds. O’Brien writes\, “A scratchy sound of white noise emanating from a small radio fills the dark room. A faint voice comes through. It sounds like nothing from this world\, as if death itself was speaking. Somewhere else\, sickly patients lay in hospital beds in hell. They don’t understand why they are still sick. They listen to the hospital radio\, but it doesn’t play their favorite songs. Instead\, they listen to the sounds of a life once lived.” \n\n\n\nIf It Were the Apocalypse I’d Eat You To Stay Alive\, Martin O’Brien. Photo by Manuel Vason \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMartin O’Brien is an artist and zombie. \n\n\n\nHe works across performance\, writing and video art. O’Brien has cystic fibrosis and all of his work and writing draws upon this experience. His work uses long durational actions\, short speculative texts and critical rants\, and performance processes in order to explore death and dying\, what it means to be born with a life-shortening disease\, and the philosophical implications of living longer than expected. Originally from Burnley\, Lancashire\, O’Brien has shown work throughout the UK\, Europe\, USA and Canada\, and is well known for his solo performances and collaborations with the legendary LA artist and dominatrix Sheree Rose. His most recent works were at Tate Britain in 2020\, and the ICA London in 2021. He is winner of the Philip Leverhulme Prize for Visual and Performing Arts 2022. He was writer in residence at Whitechapel Gallery throughout 2023. In 2018\, the book Survival of the Sickest: The Art of Martin O’Brien was published by Live Art Development Agency. His work has been featured in The Guardian\, Frieze Magazine\, on BBC radio and Sky Arts television. He is currently head of performance at Queen Mary University of London. \n\n\n\nThis project is made possible with support from the Visiting Artists Program and the Wellness Center at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, along with the International Museum of Surgical Science. \n\n\n\nABOUT…\n\n\n\nDefibrillator Performance Art Gallery [DFBRL8R] is an international roving platform dedicated to Performance Art. Based in Chicago\, DFBRL8R fosters a global dialogue around time-based art practices by presenting projects in diverse settings and fostering cross-cultural exchange. \n\n\n\nThe Wellness Center at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago provides empathic and compassionate support and care dedicated to ensuring that every SAIC student’s experience is a successful one. Health and Counseling Services and Disability & Learning Resources are valuable assets to SAIC students\, faculty\, and staff. \n\n\n\nThe Visiting Artists Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago has introduced over 1\,000 influential artists and thinkers to the public through lectures\, screenings\, and conversations since 1868. \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of Surgical Science\, located in a historic mansion on Lake Shore Drive\, explores the fascinating history of surgery and medicine through exhibitions\, programming\, and an extraordinary collection of artifacts. \n\n\n\nO’Brien will present a talk through the Visiting Artists Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on Monday\, November 11 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. at Fullerton Hall\, Art Institute of Chicago\, 111 S. Michigan Ave. Free and open to the public. Visit saic.edu/vap for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScreenshot

SUMMARY:Empty Bottle Presents: Roméo Poirier
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to be partnering together with Empty Bottle Presents to bring you an evening of music by Roméo Poirier! \n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening of music among the looming figures of the Hall of Immortals. Show starts at 8:00pm and doors open at 7:00pm. For you early birds\, we’ll have the museum open for viewing until the show gets underway!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Roméo Poirier:\n\n\n\nBrussels-based musician\, photographer and lifeguard Roméo Poirier (aka Swim Platførm)\, makes sleek\, subaqueous electro-acoustic music. His debut SURFACES EP was a soundtrack to four of Roméo’s favourite swimming pools. These songs glide in and out of earshot\, bustling like miniature engines\, finely tuned and rhythmically confounding. They echo the factory sampling work of YMO on Technodelic: industrial but somehow good-natured\, a symbiosis of machinery and wildlife – like an artificial reef or propeller blades smothered in algae.  \n\n\n\nThe gorgeous follow up tape\, Plage Arrière\, is an ode to eight Greek beaches. Poirier’s palette here is vast: a swell of strings and electronics plunging fathoms deep amongst the clicks and whirrs of creatures unknown. For his third record on Kit and first vinyl release\, Kystwerk\, Roméo joins forces with the poet Lars Haga Raavand\, on a sonic expedition that traces the serrated coastline of Norway and the briny depths of the North Sea. \n\n\n\nWe are excited to announce that\, due to popular demand\, Plage Arrière will soon be reissued to vinyl\, in collaboration with our friends Cold Blow Records. You can grab a copy here. Roméo also makes music with the Scottish musician Michael Marshall\, under the guise of Poirier Marshall Partners.​ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Empty Bottle:\n\n\n\nIn 1992 the Empty Bottle started out as a cat-ridden hole-in-the-wall bar in Ukrainian Village (just south of Wicker Park) where you could get any one of nine beers for a buck-fifty or less\, play pool for 50 cents\, and find everything from Monster Magnet to Bill Monroe on the jukebox. \n\n\n\nOn Halloween of 1993\, we moved two blocks up the street and threw open the doors to our new\, sound-equipped\, slightly larger hole with three nights of great shows\, culminating with a SCRAWL performance that could have been a scene out of “Carrie.” \n\n\n\nWe’ve done a bunch of shows since then; in fact\, we’ve been anything but empty these last 20 or so years\, thanks to the same low prices\, lack of attitude\, and dedicated regulars that made the original bar such a success.
