SUMMARY:Kintsugi Workshop: Repair and Reconnect
DESCRIPTION:Discover the art and philosophy of Kintsugi — the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with gold — in this all-level\, hands-on work\n\n\nKintsugi Workshop: Repair and Reconnect with Mami Takahashi\nMay 2\, 2026\n10:30am – 1:30pm\n \n“Kintsugi teaches us that scars are part of the story — not something to hide\, but something to honor. As we repair\, we reflect. As we mend\, we transform.” \nIn this 3-hour session\, students will learn and apply the modern Kintsugi method using food-safe adhesive\, epoxy putty\, and golden finish. The technique is safe for beginners and designed to make the centuries-old practice accessible in a single-day format. Rather than erasing damage\, Kintsugi highlights each crack as part of an object’s unique story — inviting us to reflect on beauty\, imperfection\, and transformation. \nFor beginner students\, a broken porcelain or ceramic plate will be provided\, allowing them to experience the full repair process from start to finish.For returning students\, or those with previous experience\, you’re welcome to bring your own broken ceramic objects (must be clean) or choose from more complex forms provided by the instructor. \nThis workshop offers a supportive\, meditative space for reflection and creativity. All materials are provided\, and finger covers are available to use\, though handling epoxy can sometimes leave a light residue for a day or two. \n \n \n“Kintsugi is based on the philosophy that breakage and repair are something to celebrate – embracing flaws and imperfections creates a stronger and more beautiful piece of art. Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing what feels broken\, we become more unique\, beautiful\, and resilient. Kintsugi can be a way to reframe personal challenges. Reminding us that we’re not victims of our circumstances. Showing us that we can come out on the other side stronger.” — Here is a quote about Kintsugi from Linda Muller\, a certified life coach. \n \n\n\n\nAbout Mami Takahashi: \nMami Takahashi is a Japanese multidisciplinary artist and a scholar working in multiple cities including Chicago and Tokyo. She earned her MFA in Contemporary Studio Practice from Portland State University in 2013 and a BFA in Japanese Painting from Joshibi University of Art and Design in Japan. \nWith ongoing artistic research\, practice\, and teaching\, Takahashi explores different approaches to actualize Japanese aesthetics to enhance cultural perspectives in many U.S. communities. Takahashi also aims to connect Japan and communities in Chicago by teaching traditional and modern art-making techniques.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk - Jennifer Yorke: Employee of the Month
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk featuring Jennifer Yorke\, artist behind  “Employee of the Month” by Artist on view at the IMSS\n\n\nJennifer Yorke: Employee of the Month\nArtist Talk\nMay 2\, 2026\n2:00-4:00pm\nDoors at 1:30pm \nJoin us for an artist talk featuring Jennifer Yorke\, artist of the exhibit “Employee of the Month\,” on view through July 5th at the IMSS. Free and open to the public \n\n\n\nEmployee of the Month\nby Artist Jennifer Yorke \nApril 10 – July 5\, 2026\n \nAbout the Exhibit: \nComplete with commemorative plaques and gold bling\, Employee of the Month is a humorous yet thought-provoking send-up of the “Presidential Walk of Fame.” Greatly impressed by a Hilton Hotel’s “Wall of Fame” honoring employees\, President Trump created a similar wall of portraits and wrote many of the accompanying texts describing himself (twice) and his predecessors. This “Presidential Walk of Fame” was installed in late 2025 in the West Colonnade at the White House. \nEmployee of the Month is a site-specific installation which responds directly to both the physical and intellectual space encompassed by the International Museum of Surgical Science (IMSS)\, and the current political climate. \nOver the course of her year as an artist-in-residence\, Jennifer Yorke heard louder and louder echoes of the texts she researched from the IMSS library in Trump administration statements on health and gender. Yorke captures these echoes in pairings from historical texts in the IMSS collection with excerpts from current government documents. Her primary texts are Dr. Charles Meigs’ 1845 English translation of Dr. Marc Colombat de l’Isère’s influential A Treatise on the Diseases and Special Hygiene of Females; and the corrected version of Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices\, published by the Department of Health and Human Services on November 19\, 2025. Both texts pathologize any deviation from rigidly-defined gender norms; insist on the inherent authority of the doctor over the patient; and question the veracity of patient testimony and lived experience. By placing contemporary texts alongside striking parallels written in the flowery prose of the past\, Yorke reveals both the historical roots and the absurdity of these notions. Yorke will add to the installation as additional resonances between 19th Century medical presumptions and 21st Century policy statements reverberate over the duration of the exhibition. \nYorke’s Employee of the Month is an avatar of MAGA womanhood\, complete with the inflated Mar-a-Lago face of both numerous administration officials and blow-up sex dolls. Named the “Secretary of Truth\,” she is an incarnation of the black-and-white portraits included in “Presidential Walk of Fame\,” most (in)famously an image of an autopen representing President Biden. Through the mouthpiece of her Employee of the Month\, Yorke urges the viewer to consider womanhood\, performative gender\, and constructed personal appearance as deep concepts meriting reflection\, particularly when they evoke paths to power for some\, but calls for the denial of personal identity for others. \nThis project would not be possible without the support of the International Museum of Surgical Science and Director of Operations Michelle Rinard\, for which artist conveys her immense gratitude. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist:\nJennifer Yorke examines the uneasy relationship between consumption\, identity\, the physical body and the natural world through installations\, collages\, drawings\, prints\, photographs and artist’s books. Her work is held in more than twenty public collections\, including those of the Auckland Gallery of Art; the Art Gallery of New South Wales; the Center for the Book Arts and the in New York City; the Huntsville Museum of Art; the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum\, and other institutions. Yorke has been a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome\, and been honored with over twenty artist’s residencies. Yorke earned an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, which she attended through a Graduate Trustee Fellowship in the Department of Printmedia. She holds a BA cum laude from Carleton College\, where she earned Distinction in her Studio Art major. To date\, Yorke’s work has been the subject of ten solo exhibitions\, and included in over a hundred group exhibitions. She lives with her husband Rob and dog Phoebe in Chicago. \n\n\n\nThis project is partially supported by a CityArts grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. \n\n\n\nThe International Museum of Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
