SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Jude Griebel: A Body of Others
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest exhibition\, “A Body of Others\,” by artist Jude Griebel.\n\n\n\nA Body of Others\nBy Artist Jude Griebel\nMarch 22 – June 16\, 2024\nOpening reception: Friday\, March 22\, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free\n \nThe exhibition A Body of Others\, presents a series of sculptures that explore what it means for an animal to be artificially contained as an impetus for human theory\, experimentation and consumption—existing in a sanctioned world within the human factory and institution. This enquiry encompasses animals living within the confines of medical\, scientific and industrial food complexes. \nIn the works\, refurbished animal cages\, salvaged from labs\, clinics and industrial farms have been reconfigured to resemble human forms. These unsettling structures contain various species\, meticulously crafted from wood and papier-mache. Their details finely rendered\, they appear spectral and ethereal against their darkened figurative cages. The sculptures allude to animals unwillingly serving human needs–from becoming a “cheap” fast food product\, to being scientifically observed\, to being test subjects for the beauty industry and contemporary vaccines and medicines. \nThe composition of the works reference the David Pinner’s celebrated 1967 novel The Ritual\, in which the protagonist becomes caged within a wicker human form as an unwitting sacrifice—one whose meaning he cannot ultimately comprehend. My sculptures visually conjure bodies that have been made invisible\, pushed to the periphery of our awareness while continuing to nourish and safeguard us. While these crafted animals occupy physical space\, their spectral rendering reflects the psychological distance we create\, between ourselves\, and their unrecognized bodies. \nSpeaking to current ethical debate and various institutional practices\, these figurative sculptures encourage recognition\, dialogue\, and the promotion of new ways to acknowledge our relationship to other beings and the ways in which they impact us\, individually. \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: \nJude Griebel creates intensively detailed figurative sculptures and drawings that visualize our entanglement with the surrounding world. In his works\, landscapes\, the species we affect\, and the waste we create\, coalesce in vivid forms that illustrate the reach of our impact and consumption habits. Both harbingers of ruin and agents of transformation\, his works build on art historical traditions of the anthropomorphic body to reflect a planet in a state of crisis. Griebel’s work has recently been supported by residencies at institutions including Pioneer Works\, New York; International Studio and Curatorial Program\, New York and Yaddo\, Saratoga Springs\, NY. His work has been funded by major grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation\, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts\, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation. Griebel’s work is included in collections internationally including Arsenal Contemporary Art\, Montreal; the Frans Masereel Centrum\, Kasterlee and the Volpert Foundation\, New York. His work has recently been exhibited at C24 Gallery\, New York; the Rochester Center for Contemporary Art\, NY; the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art Ueno; and the Art Gallery of Alberta; Edmonton. \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:Opening Reception: Lucia Calderon Arrieta: Gloop N Droop Rinconsito
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest sculpture installation\, ” Gloop N Droop Rinconsito\,” by artist Lucia Calderon Arrieta.\n\n\nGloop N Droop Rinconsito\nLucia Calderon Arrieta\nMarch 29 – June 16\, 2024\nOpening reception: Friday\, March 29\, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free\n \n“Two soft sculptures (“Inner Child” and “Older Sister”) find their home in a cave-like grotto surrounded by protective spirals of dirt and mica. The cavern drips with dried paper pulp\, insulated by swirling colorful layers of wool roving\, illuminated by twinkling bioluminescent lights. They use their tentacles to explore the pulpy surface of the cave walls\, holding hands as they go\, wondering how far they can safely explore outside of the cavern’s hugging hold. Their world is encircled by a protective band of soil- not so much a border as a boundary\, the boundary not meant for them but for us\, the audience. This boundary lets us know that we create their safety when we give them space to exist on their terms. \nExhibiting at the International Museum of Surgical Science (IMSS) provides a platform to critically assess the history of medicine\, challenging the pathologization of my existence and creating a moment centered on agency and boundaries as a patient. As a museum\, the IMSS excels in cataloging and presenting the stuff of science: materials\, breakthroughs\, and lauded figures. That which can be objectively recorded. The space I make as an artist is for the subjective\, the intimate\, the vulnerable—even the paradoxical. This benefits me as a way to regain power within a medical institution. This helps our audience by inviting them to do the same.” \n– Lucia Calderon Arrieta\, 2024 \n \nLucia (they/them) explores visibility\, vulnerability\, and community through fiber art and worldbuilding. They reflect on their life as a queer\, Latine/x\, chronically ill\, neurodivergent human creature by materializing metaphors of body\, skin\, and ocean. \nGaze into the Gloop N Droop Dimension– an inner world where squishy weirdos are co-evolving to survive together softly\, where they seek each other out through the tenderness of touch. Whose pock-marked skins- no matter how thickened or bruised– remain energetically permeable. \nThis piece considers the power of boundaries in creating conditions within which to be safely seen. \n\n\n\nPhotography by Beto de Freitas. \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\nPhotography by Beto de Freitas. \n\n\nAbout the Artist: \nLucia Calderon Arrieta (they/them) is a fiber artist & educational co-conspirator residing in the traditional unceded lands of the Potawatomi\, Peoria\, Miami\, Ojibwe\, and Oglala Sioux (“Chicago”). \nLucia learned to sew from Abuelita and learned to call it Fiber Art from Academia. They were raised by South American immigrants in the deep American South. \nThey have taught across community and academic institutions\, including The Art Institute of Chicago\, Chicago State University\, Lillstreet Art Center\, CAPE\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Their work has been shown at the Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago Textiles Week\, and Heaven Gallery. Their next project\, “A Felt Sense of Safety\,” will be presented as part of the 2024 Contra Corriente Festival at the Chicago Art Department. \nLearn More: https://www.luciacalderonarrieta.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.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Columbia College Chicago: BODY/MATTER
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest exhibition featuring the work of Columbia College Chicago students: BODY/MATTER\n\n\n\nBODY/MATTER\nColumbia College Chicago\nApril 5 – May 5\, 2024\nOpening reception: Friday\, April 5 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free\n\nPhotography by Gretchen Lee \nBODY/MATTER brings together twelve wearable artworks that consider the body as an object and subject of medical inquiry. Drawing upon research conducted in the archives of the International Museum of Surgical Science\, the designers explore concepts of bodily normalcy\, fashion as prosthetic\, and surgical voyeurism\, among others. ‘MATTER’ is thus conceived of in two ways: as cloth and as flesh. While cloth is the ‘matter’ of fashion design\, flesh is the ‘matter’ of surgical science. Together\, cloth and flesh function as the fragile barrier between the self and society; however\, these works ask us to contemplate where one ends and the other begins. \nStudent Designers: \nRae Breazeale \nOlivia Byam \nSarah Donnelly \nWilliam Duwe \nAurora Liston \nBryannah Minor \nJada Moore \nAmelia Nelson \nJoelle Olabode \nDarrius Parker \nMichael Smith \nYasmeen Wilson \nFaculty Mentors \nJulie Fehler \nLauren Downing Peters \nCurator: \nLauren Downing Peters \nCo-Organizers: \nColumbia College Chicago \nInternational Museum of Surgical Science \nSponsors: \nDriehaus Design Initiative \n\n\nLight refreshments are included\, and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age.

SUMMARY:Concert: Dorothy Carlos - gs70 - Bakantez
DESCRIPTION: \nJoin the International Museum of Surgical Science for a concert with Dorothy Carlos\, gs70 and Bakantez\n\nDorothy Carlos – gs70 – Bakantez\n@ The International Museum of Surgical Science\nStanding room only. Doors open at 7pm. 21+ BYOB \n \nAbout the Artists: \n\nDorothy Carlos \nhttps://dorothycarlos.bandcamp.com/ \nDorothy Carlos is an experimental cellist and electronic musician working in improvised performance and multi-channel sound in New York City and Chicago. Her work utilizes randomized electronics and extended techniques to explore fragility and imaginaries. Recent solo performances have been presented internationally by e-flux\, Experimental Sound Studio Chicago\, Big Ears Festival\, default\, Center for New Music and Associated Technologies (CNMAT) at UC Berkeley\, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Dorothy has been featured as an artist and collaborator in projects presented at the Swiss Institute (New York)\, Night Gallery (Los Angeles)\, Artists Space (New York)\, Performance Space (New York)\, Untitled Art Fair (Miami)\, Gaudeamus Festival (Utrecht\, NL) and the Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art. Her work has been featured in Artforum\, The Wire\, The Quietus\, and the Chicago Reader. Dorothy holds a Bachelor’s degree from NYU where she studied classical cello and anthropology on full scholarship\, and an MFA in sound from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the current Alba Artist in Residence at Experimental Sound Studio Chicago. \n  \n  \n\ngs70 \nhttps://gs70.bandcamp.com/ \nGs70 is a solo project of Anastasia Gladkova\, a musician and sound artist based in Chicago\, IL. Born and raised in Russia\, Anastasia combines delicate vocals and warm ambient textures with industrial noises and layers of heavy guitar to speak to human vulnerability and trauma. Permeated with sentimentality and nostalgia\, gs70’s music explores grief and longing for a sense of home that might have been lost. Inspired by orthodox chants and Eastern-European folk\, she cherishes her culture’s century old traditions\, balancing it with a fascination for the underground scene of Soviet post-punk\, shoegaze\, and industrial music as a form of rebellion. Blending these influences together\, gs70 creates cathartic narratives that express the emotional complexity of searching for an identity in a life complicated by an autocratic regime and separation from loved ones. \n  \n  \n\nBakantez \nhttps://bakantez.bandcamp.com/ \nBakantez is the newly formed solo experimental electronic project of Hanna Elliott\, a longtime member of the post-industrial duo HOGG. After a decade of performing and releasing five albums between 2015-2021 with collaborations HOGG & Abstructum\, Hanna returned with her debut solo release ‘Rubedo’ in October 2023. Bakantez incorporates slow meditative rhythms with atmospheric textures\, simple hymn-like melodies\, and mangled processed vocals to paint a fraught libidinal soundscape of esoteric introspection. Her live performances exhibit a distinct cultivated physicality involving repetitive movement\, dynamic vocalizations\, and amplified props. Her songs dive through a range of emotive states\, as if one were watching a play displayed in separate acts. The music draws influence from genres ranging from black metal\, musique-concrete\, spiritual music\, noise\, and minimal wave. \n  \n  \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Candlelight Reiki Sound Healing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a sound bath in our iconic atmosphere!\n\n\nCandlelight Reiki Sound Healing at IMSS \nFriday\, April 19th 2024 @ 6:30PM \n \nReiki practitioner and sound healer Rosśa Crean will take us through an evening of candlelit meditation and mindfulness using sound vibrations. \nThe practices of Reiki and vibrational sound therapy use healing intentions along with vibrational frequencies to provide an energetic massage for your system. Come as you are and leave with a greater sense of peace and realignment of your unique vibrational frequency. This event offers a combination of Reiki energy work along with a soothing sound transmission created with crystal singing bowls and the human voice in guided meditation. \nJoin us for an evening of blissful rejuvenation. \n \nDoors open at 6PM. Please arrive 15 minutes early to get settled in. Tickets are $27.20 plus eventbrite fee \n \nImportant information: \nClass will begin promptly at 6:30PM\, and will last for approximately one hour\, beginning with a 15 minute meditation including breath work\, followed by 45 minutes of crystal sound bowl healing. \nWe have 20 spots available\, so spots are first come\, first serve. This event will be taking place in the Hall of Murals. The Hall of Murals has marble floors and WE DO NOT PROVIDE MATS\, so please bring one if you choose to\, as well as any pillows\, blankets\, or bolsters you feel you may need. If you need or prefer a chair\, one can be accomodated for you \nGuests will be instructed to relax their mind\, body\, and soul as soothing sounds help “bathe” them into a restful state of being.

SUMMARY:POX ROMANA: The Plague that Shook the Roman World
DESCRIPTION:Join author Colin Elliott as he combs through the historical record to explain how a mysterious disease ravaged the Roman Empire!\n\n\nJoin Colin Elliott\, author of POX ROMANA: The Plague that Shook the Roman World\, as he combs through the historical record to explain how a mysterious disease ravaged the Roman Empire at the height of its political and economic prosperity. With slides and a series of guiding questions\, Elliott will tell a riveting story in three parts: the “preexisting conditions” that led to a massive outbreak; the experiences of physicians and victims as the plague spread; and the post-pandemic conditions that brought the once-powerful Empire to ruin. \n \nSaturday\, May 11th @ 4:30 pm  \nThe International Museum of Surgical Science \n1524 N Lake Shore Drive\, Chicago IL 60610 \n*Please arrive 10 minutes early \n\n\n\nAbout the book: In the middle of the second century AD\, Rome was in a period of peace\, prosperity\, and stability: the Pax Romana. Then\, apparently out of nowhere\, a sudden sickness struck the Empire and laid waste to cities from Britain to Egypt\, including Rome itself. This fast-spreading disease\, now known as the Antonine plague\, may have been history’s first pandemic. Soon after its arrival\, the Empire began its downward trajectory toward decline and fall. In POX ROMANA\, historian Colin Elliott offers a comprehensive\, wide-ranging account of this pivotal moment in Roman history. Elliott combs through all available evidence to prove that there were “preexisting conditions” that allowed the Antonine plague to flourish: from a sluggish economy to protracted military conflicts in the Middle East to food insecurity and religious persecution\, the pandemic exposed the crumbling foundations of a doomed Empire. POX ROMANA provides a gripping account of how a mysterious disease—the origin of which puzzles historians to this day—was able to bring a major world power to its knees. \n\n\nAbout the author: Colin Elliott is associate professor of history at Indiana University and the author of Economic Theory and the Roman Monetary Economy. \n\n\n\n__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Kintsugi for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the artistry of Kintsugi on Mother’s Day! All levels are welcome.\n\n\nJoin us for a special Mother’s Day workshop with Mami Takahashi\, where you’ll learn the Japanese art of kintsugi! \nKintsugi is a traditional Japanese art form in which gold is used to repair broken ceramics. The practice of Kintsugi highlights the break rather than erasing it and emphasizes that the break\, or trauma\, is what makes the ceramics more valuable. \nIn this beginner’s workshop\, participants will learn the basic technique of Kintsugi on a small porcelain plate or a small ceramic plate which the instructor will provide\, to understand the fundamentals of this process. All materials including adhesives in the workshop will be food-safe. We will also use an artificial Urushi (the natural resin/glue collected from the lacquer tree) sap for this beginner’s class\, which is safe to touch without allergy reactions. \n \nHere is a quote about Kintsugi from Linda Muller\, a certified life coach:“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 a victim of our circumstances. Showing us that we can come out on the other side stronger.” \n \nAll levels are welcome to enjoy this workshop! \n\n\n\nAbout the Instructor: \nMami Takahashi is a Japanese multidisciplinary artist and a scholar in Chicago. She received her MFA in Contemporary Studio Practice from Portland State University in 2013 and earned 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. She is expanding her creativity to incorporate more specific discourses around society\, past and present via a lens of Japanese art. Takahashi also aims to connect Japan and communities in Chicago by teaching traditional and modern art-making techniques. \n \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Varo String Quartet Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us to enjoy a string quartet night!Varo String QuartetFriday\, June 14\, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM Join us for an evening that presents a micro-portrait of Polish composer and violinist Grazyna Bacewicz. An active performer throughout most of her life\, Bacewicz was severely injured in a car accident in 1954 that left her unable to play her instrument for a year.  Varo Quartet will juxtapose the last string quartet she wrote before the accident\, Quartet No. 4 (1951)\, representing her quasi-neoclassical middle compositional period\, with the first quartet she wrote after the accident\, Quartet No. 5 (1955)\, representing the beginning of her avant-garde period. In doing so\, we pose the question: how do these different styles present a different interaction of the physical with the acts of both performing and listening to music?  About the performers: Varo String Quartet (Carmen Abelson and Hannah Christiansen\, violins; Lena Vidulich\, viola; and Isidora Nojkovic\, cello) is dedicated to the celebration and expansion of the string quartet genre. Through intentional programming\, VSQ engages new audiences and collaborators with a spirit of curiosity and innovation. The members of VSQ have backgrounds spanning many genres and have performed with groups including Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra\, Thurman Barker & the Cagy Bird Orchestra\, Lyric Opera Orchestra\, Japanese Breakfast\, Ensemble Dal Niente\, Music Theatre International\, and Chicago Sinfonietta. Varo String Quartet takes its name from the Surrealist painter Remedios Varo\, whose vibrant creativity and lifelong pursuit of discovery inspire the Quartet’s inventive programming and spirited performances.  General Admission $20 Student Admission $10 Admission at the door $25 Free for IMSS Members Doors open at 6:30 pm  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Accessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.
