SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Jessica Tucker: skin would call a poor eye simple
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest exhibition\, “skin would call a poor eye simple\,” by artist Jessica Tucker.\n\n\nskin would call a poor eye simple\nBy Jessica Tucker\nMarch 2 – May 19\, 2024\nOpening reception: Saturday\, March 2\, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free\n \nskin would call a poor eye simple features a collection of new sculptural and video works depicting distorted bodies and faces suspended in both virtual and physical materials. Made through disrupted\, glitched processes of face detection and body motion capture\, these works challenge contemporary efforts to encapsulate the body through technologies of data collection and visualization. The works in this exhibition appear as reimagined skins\, sensitive and uncanny\, out of place. They disturb our sense of the body’s boundaries and question the nature of the body as surface and interface. What does it feel like to have one’s body translated and mediated through technological observation? \nIn all spheres of contemporary life\, including the medical field\, we are increasingly dependent on digital imaging techniques and analysis. We use these to assess and diagnose embodied beings based on patterns and probabilities. These lead to incredible advancements in our capacity for precision and accuracy\, and yet also potentially further widen the gap between our representations and our lived experiences. How do we seek to quantify the body through technology in order to optimize the systems which approach and manage this body\, this person? And how might creatively glitching or queering these processes open up new sensory experiences of otherwise disembodying and disempowering definitions of the human? \n\n\n\nLight refreshments are included\, and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age. Alcohol served to guests 21+; ID required. \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator. If you need additional accessibility options or wheelchair seating\, please contact us at info@imss.org. \nParking and Directions can be found here: https://imss.org/plan-your-visit/ \n\n\n\n \nAbout the Artist: \nJessica Tucker is an American and Dutch artist\, musician\, and educator. In her performances\, videos\, sculptures\, and installations\, she playfully examines how we use machinic visions to construct our concept of the embodied self. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, and previously studied at Wellesley College\, MIT\, and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. She has performed and exhibited her work throughout Europe and the USA\, including Rewire Festival\, FOAM Museum of Photography\, Goethe Institut\, the Van Gogh Museum\, and Mana Contemporary. She has been supported by the Chicago Artists Coalition\, Thoma Foundation\, DCASE\, and the Mondriaan Fund\, among others. She is currently a Grant Wood Fellow and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa\, specializing in interdisciplinary performance using digital media. \n\n\nAbout the Contemporary Art Program: The International Museum of Surgical Science supports a commitment to contemporary art and artists through exhibitions and programs that use the frame of contemporary artistic practice to examine new perspectives in medical-surgical science and our relationship to the body. The Museum’s Contemporary Arts Initiative includes rotating exhibitions of contemporary art\, as well as an ongoing Artist in Residence program. \n\n\n\nThis project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events. \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

SUMMARY:Who Knows: Sound Performance/Installation by Spiral Body
DESCRIPTION:IMSS Multidisciplinary Recovery Series presents the performance/installation by Spiral Body.\n\n\nWho Knows: Sound Performance/Installation by Spiral Body \nSpiral Body is a site-specific existence. These performances consider the space itself to feature as the “main character” while Spiral Body merely gives voice to a personality felt within the space. The sound installation arises from our questions about our presence without physical existence. Around\, inside and outside the installation\, Takahashi’s spoken word is warped and modified within the space and within McBride’s soundscapes and sound responses. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist:  \nSpiral Body is a permanent vehicle\, with no specific location to call home but wherever space it may find itself in the moment defines its present shape. We prefer to work mostly with sound as a medium because it moves through the air changing\, fragmenting outwards into impressions and then a memory. \n\n\nDoors open at 6:30 pm \n  \nAbout the Multidisciplinary Recovery Series: The International Museum of Surgical Science supports a commitment to contemporary art and artists through exhibitions and programs that use the frame of contemporary artistic practice to examine new perspectives in medical and surgical science and our relationship to the body. The Museum continuously seeks artist performance and workshop proposals for its contemporary art program. Performing artists can be within the category of visual art\, poetry\, music\, and experimental\, among others. \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Ben Zucker presents: (   )hole complex
DESCRIPTION:The performance of  (   )hole complex celebrates the composer Ben Zucker’s album release.\n\n\nJoin us for an immersive experience at the edge of concert\, installation\, and meditation\, with duo Garden Unit (Julia Ansolabahere\, clarinet; Cameron Roberts\, saxophone) and new electronic interventions performed live by the composer. \n\n\nThis performance celebrates the release of ( )hole complex (per​/​formance​/​eration)\, now out on Sawyer Editions. The eponymous composition by Ben Zucker is a foray into unpredictable collages of notation and instruction—a study in the decoherence of musical identity over extended periods of time\, where no performance is ever the same twice. The piece was commissioned by boundary-pushing chamber duo Garden Unit (Julia Ansolabahere\, clarinet; Cameron Roberts\, saxophone)\, who will use the full space of the Museum’s second floor to create an immersive experience at the edge of concert\, installation\, and meditation\, with new electronic interventions performed live by the composer. \nListen to the album here: https://sawyereditions.bandcamp.com/album/ben-zucker-hole-complex-per-formance-eration \n\n\n\nBen Zucker engages in acts of creative juxtaposition and speculation as a composer audiovisual artist and multi-instrumentalist. Acclaimed as a “master of improvisation” (IMPOSE Magazine) and “more than a little bit remarkable” (Free Jazz Blog) they have contributed to experimental music scenes across North America and the UK with “stirring compositions…built on a lifetime of musical curiosity” (Chicago Reader) as well as albums multimedia situations and frequent performances on vibraphone brass voice and electronics. Following studies on both coasts and the UK\, they currently live in Chicago\, engaged in ongoing freelance performing and composing\, teaching\, and serving as the President of New Music Chicago and curator for Elastic Arts’ Improvised Music Series. \n\n\n\n\n \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Tanya Gill on 'Broken Yet Whole'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by artist Tanya Gill about her exhibition Broken Yet Whole and her thoughts around mending\, repair\, and adaptation.\n\n\nBroken Yet Whole  \nby Tanya Gill \nNov 12th\, 2023 – Feb 10th\, 2024  \n \nThe gesture of repair in art is a powerful and moving metaphor for human healing\, both physical and emotional. Broken Yet Whole explores mending and all its implications through broken yet mended objects\, darning\, and painting.  The work speaks to our human optimism and also our failures. A tender attempt to recreate the legs of a broken figurine horse or repair a damaged book demonstrates love and determination. However\, in the end\, the attempt falls short. Once broken\, we/things are never the same. At the same time\, becoming broken is inevitable and does not negate wholeness.  \nThe mended objects in Broken Yet Whole come from different sources. Some are from the IMSS’s collection; others are from the artist’s own life\, such as Mend (Horses). Others yet have been gifted or loaned to the project through a call for objects\, where individuals are invited to contribute loved yet damaged domestic objects.  \nThe core catalyst for the work is Gill’s own health. Gill is a stroke survivor\, and her first-hand experience of her brain repairing itself profoundly shifted her artistic practice. Gill’s experience with physical trauma and recovery is by no means unique; it is a part of our collective story. We all experience traumatic events that change our course\, demanding that we remake ourselves. Gill is invested in visualizing the complexity of healing and what mending the pieces back together might look like. She strives to create a space where we catch glimpses of our ability to mend\, transform\, and absorb change. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist:  \nTanya Gill is a multimedia artist and educator whose work explores themes of adaptation\, mending\, loss\, and resilience through object making\, painting\, drawing\, and fiber. Responding to continual transformation in ourselves and our world is at the center of her practice.  \nThis spring\, Gill was the Spring 2023 Artist in Residence at the IMSS. Gill has also been a Fulbright-Nehru scholar\, as well as in residence at McDowell\, Haystack Mountain School of Craft\, and The Ragdale Foundation. Gill calls Northern California\, Northern India\, and Chicago home. Currently\, she is nestled in Chicago\, IL\, where she maintains a studio at Mana Contemporary. \nLearn More: tanyagill.com \n\n\nAbout the Contemporary Art Program: The International Museum of Surgical Science supports a commitment to contemporary art and artists through exhibitions and programs that use the frame of contemporary artistic practice to examine new perspectives in medical-surgical science and our relationship to the body. The Museum’s Contemporary Arts Initiative includes rotating exhibitions of contemporary art\, as well as an ongoing Artist in Residence program. \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 Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Jose Luis Benavides: Letters to Lost Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest exhibition\, “Letters to Lost Loved Ones\,” by artist Jose Luis Benavides.\n\n\n\nLetters to Lost Loved Ones \nBy Artist Jose Luis Benavides \nDecember 15\, 2023 – March 10\, 2024 \nOpening reception: Friday\, December 15\, 2023 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free \n \nLetters to Lost Loved Ones (digital video\, 17 min\, 2022) was directed\, produced\, and edited by Jose Luis Benavides\, who has also served as project manager with the Illinois Deaths in Custody Project (IDCP) since 2016. As an exhibition and documentary\, it shares a history of medical treatment of incarcerated people and larger concerns with the effects of the COVID-19 virus on vulnerable populations within Illinois prisons. Newcity newspaper’s art critic Regan Dockery describes\, “Benavides’ “Letters to Lost Loved Ones” requires perhaps more than all a careful and active viewing. On display are letters featured in his documentary short of the same title. The letters tell the stories and experiences of those incarcerated during COVID-19 and shed light on voices that are often overlooked.”  \nApproximately 80-100 people die of various medical conditions while in custody throughout Illinois prisons every year. IDCP facilitates an interactive website as an exhibit and memorial to archive\, highlight\, and mourn the deaths of all people in Illinois prisons. Through community events\, engagement within the prisons\, continual research\, and their published and public factsheet\, IDCP also works to create an archive of eulogies and letters from people incarcerated in Illinois. Their website also shares documents attained through Freedom of Information Act requests about the deaths of incarcerated people in Illinois from 2010 to the present. IDCP aims to reveal the ways the “carceral state” processes\, records\, and simultaneously erases the deaths of people in Illinois prisons.  \nAccording to IDCP findings\, official categories for deaths in custody under the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act are: Cancer\, Heart disease\, Liver disease\, Respiratory disease\, AIDS-related\, All other\, Suicide\, Drug/alcohol intoxication\, Accident\, Homicide\, Other/unknown\, and Missing. These categories are framed in precise ways. Framing refers to a process by which communicators “select” certain elements to focus on while excluding others in order to transmit certain normative judgments\, according to media and public relations scholar Robert M. Entman. Yet these selected categories fail to acknowledge the role of the Department of Corrections (IDOC).  \nThe state repeatedly claims over and over again that it has no fault in the deaths that occur within the walls of its institutions\, but the pattern of neglect persists. That is where their investigations\, FOIA requests\, academic articles\, editorials\, the documentary\, and this exhibition serve their purpose; To offer more in-depth\, personal\, and nuanced accounts than what IDOC reports. We present here the film regarding incarcerated people’s medical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nLetters to Lost Loved Ones\, the documentary short\, was created in collaboration with the Illinois Deaths in Custody Project and several incarcerated people in Illinois prisons during the COVID-19 pandemic. Compiled from countless correspondences\, this short film traces nine incarcerated individuals’ experiences of the lockdown\, untimely deaths\, and medical neglect. Original animations and archival footage transform their letters\, journal entries\, poems\, and reflections into a somber reprieve on injustice\, medicine\, mourning\, and healing. This film was made possible with the generous funding of a 2020 grant from the Illinois Humanities‘ Envisioning Justice program. \nHowever\, so much was left out of the film: so many details\, insight\, and nuanced moments\, such as the texture of each person’s handwriting and the delicacy and care each person put into their letters. Their correspondences tell stories of the lockdown and medical negligence we seldom hear. From their letters\, the IDCP recorded some of their voices (in a clandestine manner)\, working with friends\, family\, and even foreign pen pals to help tell these stories. Curator Jenn Sova\, who formerly curated this material at Heaven Gallery in 2023\, states that the work “amplifies stories that our society works to silence.” \nThe film features archival and found footage of various Illinois prisons\, COVID-19 vaccine-related lab footage\, and anatomical\, respiratory\, medical\, and archival animations alongside original animations. The film was also awarded a 2022 “Best of Fest – Spotlight Film” award at the 55th Humboldt International Film Festival (2022) and screened at the Cadence Video Poetry Festival (2022)\, where it received honorable mentions\, and premiered at a solo screening of Benavides’ video-art work at Nightingale Cinema (2021). \nTo learn more about the Illinois Deaths in Custody Project\, please visit the website https://ildeathsincustody.org/. \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nLight refreshments are included and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age.

SUMMARY:Jakob Heinemann "Opacity" Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Jakob Heinemann’s “Opacity” album release concert at the Museum of Surgical Science featuring Jack Langdon.\n\n\n\nJakob Heinemann performs with his “Opacity” quartet following a solo performance by Jack Langdon. \n21+ BYOB \n\n\nThe latest release from Jakob Heinemann\, Opacity finds the composer/improviser/bassist in quartet formation\, working from a book of pieces developed over the course of a year of performing\, writing and rehearsing with the group. For this project\, Heinemann has developed a flexible system of notation that allows the music to breathe and sway\, untethered to a rhythmic grid\, set with impressionistic harmonies and a keen awareness of space and stillness. The compositions are at times collaged with field recordings\, group improvisation\, and foley sounds\, creating a wide palette of colors that blend together to create a unique sonic environment. Recorded in August 2022\, Heinemann is joined by Molly Jones on flutes\, Jeff Kimmel on clarinet\, and Ishmael Ali on cello for this release. \nLink: https://kasheeditions.bandcamp.com/album/opacity \n\n\n\n \nJakob Heinemann is a double bassist\, composer\, improviser and sound artist working between Chicago and Madison\, WI. His interests are wide-ranging\, but tend to center on close listening\, environmental composition\, and open collaborations with other artists. As a bass player\, he frequently performs freely improvised music\, and counts himself as a member of the rich and varied community of creative musicians in Chicago. As a composer and sound artist\, he utilizes field recordings\, spectral analysis\, and traditional scoring to sonify his local community\, seeking to document and understand a sense of place in a radically changing environment. His 2021 release\, Resonant Ocean\, was described by Tabs Out as “Clearly\, onto something mighty pleasing and endearing”\, and a “quartet of fascinating pieces” by A Closer Listen. \nWebsite: https://jakobheinemann.com/ \n\n\n\nJack Langdon (b.1994\, Keyeser\, WI) is a musician\, filmmaker\, and writer. His work heightens our attention towards commonplace sounds\, images\, and narratives—reassembling things taken for granted into strange\, elusive constructions. His concert works are stark and expansive\, drawing inspiration from the landscape and folk modernisms of the American Midwest. He performs on multiple keyboard instruments and electric guitar—particularly focusing on utilizing pipe organs\, tonewheel\, and transistor organs in experimental and improvised contexts. His films focus on landscape\, the built environment\, and people\, and he writes on the political economy of cultural production. Jack is a founding editor of Culture as Care Journal and is an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.Website: https://www.jacklangdon.info/ \n\n\n \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

These so-called floaters\, visual traces of the aging eye\, work as a starting point for the project Vitreous bodies and the exhibition at the International Museum of Surgical Science in which parts of the project are presented.\n \n \nVitreous bodies is an ongoing project revolving around the anatomy of the eye and the development of optics\, with an emphasis on visual noise and entoptic phenomena. The project is comprised of drawn reproductions of photocopies\, printouts and stills from dissection videos\, together with glass objects resembling lenses and eye models. The drawings are based on source material collected both online and from ophthalmology literature published mainly in the 18th -19th century.\n \n \nIn the exhibition at the International Museum of Surgical Science\, a selection of drawings and objects from the project are displayed both in the contemporary gallery setting and in the optical history room of the museum\, in this way creating a dialogue with the permanent collection related to ophthalmology. \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nLight refreshments are included and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age.

SUMMARY:You are the Garden/Drawler
DESCRIPTION:Experience the importance and beauty of compassion\, listening\, and intentionality in this performance by You are the Garden and Drawler.\n\n\nJoin us in this experimental musical performance featuring Andy Danstrom’s You are the Garden and Jordan Martins’ Drawler. \n \n2 1+ BYOB. $20 at the door. Doors open 6:30pm \n \n\n\nYou Are The Garden embodies the importance and beauty of compassion\, listening\, and intentionality through their combined voice.  \nAndy Danstrom leads the group with his unconventional scores and notation\, but beyond his composing\, the band’s music becomes the product of all the members.  \nTogether\, they create music that’s like observing plants grow and looking inward. Simple ideas interlock and kaleidoscope together to grow blankets and landscapes of sound that slip away after the show\, but spread pollen around to invoke self-love\, inspiration\, and contentedness.  \nIt’s holy music\, it’s lovely\, it’s magical. It’s the sound of caring.  \n\n\n\nDrawler is a pedal steel led project by Jordan Martins with elements of free improvisation\, country ish melodies and note bending\, and a healthy amount of minimalist/hypnotic patterns. Collaborators in this ensemble include Quin Kirchner\, Matt Ulery\, Peter Maunu\, Macie Stewart and others. \nFor this performance Martins will be joined by Quin Kirchner on drums\, Peter Maunu on violin and Jason Roebke on bass. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:A Suspicious Science:  Mind\, Brain\, and Blues
DESCRIPTION:Rami Gabriel and Stephen Asma discuss the suspicious science of psychology and neuroscience followed by an acoustic blues performance.\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion between Rami Gabriel and Stephen Asma about Rami’s new book\, A Suspicious Science: The Uses of Psychology. \n \n6-7pm: 45 minutes discussion followed by a 15 minute Q+A  \n7-9pm: musical performance and reception \n \n21+ BYOB with ID check at the door. Space is limited \n\n\n\n \n \nAbout the book: From self-help to medication\, therapy\, and cognitive neuroscience\, this book traces the uses and limits of psychology. Offering a systematic exploration of the ways in which psychology is used in contemporary society\, it refines our understanding of the extent of the field. In addition to conceptual analysis of how science\, truth\, biology\, mind\, and meaning intersect and interact in the mind sciences\, A Suspicious Science draws from history and anthropology to articulate an interdisciplinary multi-level form of psychology that may serve to orient the field. The book synthesizes debates in psychology and philosophy concerning methodology and the nature of explanation with debates about its practical context as a human science. Ultimately\, it suggests psychology provides us myths and rituals that ground a particular sense of meaning and motivation in our lives. By aligning cultural\, emotional\, and philosophical uses of psychology\, this book clarifies an humanistic model of the mind within the human sciences.  \nAudiobook \nHard copy books will be available for purchase at the museum. \n\n\nAbout the author: Rami Gabriel is the co-author of The Emotional Mind: The Affective Roots of Culture and Cognition (2019) and the author of Why I Buy: Self\, Taste\, and Consumer Society in America (2013). He publishes research on the philosophy of psychology\, affective neuroscience\, and consciousness studies. Gabriel is Associate Professor of Psychology at Columbia College Chicago and performs with The Arab Blues and Rami & The Reliables. \n \n\n\n\n \nAbout the interlocutor: Stephen T. Asma is Professor of Philosophy at Columbia College Chicago and author of ten books\, including Stuffed Animals and Pickled Heads: The Culture of Natural History Museums (2001)\, The Evolution of Imagination (Univ. of Chicago\, 2017)\, On Monsters: an Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears (Oxford Univ. Press\, 2009)\, Why We Need Religion (Oxford Univ. Press\, 2018)\,  and The Gods Drink Whiskey (HarperOne\, 2005).
