SUMMARY:Play Reading: Fortune and the Soapmaker
DESCRIPTION:A workshop reading of the script & lyrics to this new original horror musical!\n\n\nThe performance runs approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes (6:30-8:45pm with one 10- minute intermission)\, followed by an optional talkback/feedback session with the playwright.  \nJoin a team of actors as we take a casual dive into the first cold reading of this new work by playwright/songwriter James R. Wilke. Fortune and the Soapmaker is a macabre comedy horror musical that takes place in WWII Italy. It is loosely based on the life and times of real female Italian serial killer\, Leonarda Cianciulli\, who defied forensic and medical experts by the ingenious ways she disposed of her victims. Add to this murderous mother’s mix an ambitious Italian dictator\, young lovers and heroes\, and a dash of Faustian lore to complete this recipe for Italian magical realism! \nFortune and the Soapmaker delves into themes relevant to all of us\, such as confronting human mortality\, losing loved ones to disease\, war\, and chance fate\, and questioning how far one will go to save those that they love. There is even a song “Memento Mori” (“Remember You Will Die”) in the musical to remind us not of death\, but to live life to the fullest. \nLight refreshments will be provided: water\, sodas\, and Italian cookies. \n*** \nDoors open at 6:15. \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: https://imss.org/plan-your-visit/#nav \nQuestions? Contact us at info@imss.org \n\n\n\n\nJames R. Wilke\, Guest Curator\, and Fabrizzio Subia\, IMSS Assistant Manager of Exhibits and Development converse within  the IMSS exhibit “Medical History Today: Mpox.” (photo by Robert Dennis\, April 24\, 2023) \n\n\nAbout the Artist: \nJames R. Wilke is an accomplished writer\, director and creative artist with multiple produced original plays\, musicals\, tv and film productions and podcasts under his belt\, as well as articles in national publications and local newspapers\, and a regional Emmy Award for Outstanding Director for the magazine tv show 24/7 Chicago on NBC.  \nHe was the IMSS Spring 2022 Artist-in-Residence where he developed the exhibition “Pox Americana: How Smallpox Once Plagued America & The World”  on view in 2022\, as well as conducting play readings of his play adaptation of the early American historical novel A Mercy by Toni Morrison. James was also invited back to the IMSS in 2023 as guest curator of the exhibit “Medical History Today: Mpox.”   \nWith lifelong passions for musical theatre and the study of his Italian heritage\, James is thrilled to return to this artform with his new work. Fortune and the Soapmaker is a show for which he has been crafting songs and scenes for many years\, presenting segments to writers’ groups\, family\, and friends\, but not until now as a full script reading with actors. James has also written music & lyrics for six other produced musicals and musical theatre review shows and is an alum of the Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Writers Workshop in New York City and New Tuners Musical Theatre Writers Program in Chicago. He holds a Bachelor of Music Degree in Voice and Musical Theatre Certificate from Northwestern University and is also a certified public accountant with a Master of Science in Accountancy from DePaul University.

Much of his recent work is inspired by the listening interactions of chamber music\, the immersive potentials of drone music\, and a fascination with psychoacoustic phenomena\, rational intonation\, and field recordings. \nNoah’s music has been honored by leading ensembles of the contemporary music community including the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, Wild Up\, Mivos Quartet\, and Wet Ink. Noah holds a Ph.D. in Composition and Music Technology from Northwestern University\, as well as degrees in violin performance and composition from the University of Oregon.  \n\n\n\nJack Langdon is a musician\, video artist\, and writer. He creates work that heightens our attention towards commonplace sounds\, images\, and narratives—reassembling things we take for granted into strange\, elusive constructions. His works are stark and expansive\, drawing inspiration from the landscape and folk modernisms of the American Midwest. As a musician\, Jack performs on a variety of keyboard and string instruments as well as composes concert music. His films focus on landscape\, the built environment\, and people\, and he writes on the political economy of cultural production. \n​His concert music has been presented and supported by Klangspuren Schwaz\, Darmstädter Ferienkurse\, Composers Conference\, the Fromm Foundation\, and Northwestern University\, and has been performed by Yarn/Wire\, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble\, Miroslav Beinhauer\, Current Resonance\, Talea Ensemble\, Jack Yarbrough\, and Ensemble Dal Niente\, He has recorded alongside Anthony Vine\, Weston Olencki\, Kelley Sheehan\, Webb Crawford\, and Taylor Ho Bynum.

He belongs to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and is of German\, English\, French\, and Ojibwe descent. \n\n\n\nKory Reeder is an American composer and performer whose music is often introspective and atmospheric\, investigating ideas of objectivity\, place\, immediacy\, situation\, and interaction with pieces ranging from symphonic works to text scores and computer-assisted improvisations. Described as “one of the most captivating composers in modern classical music” (Dallas Observer)\, Kory’s music is performed frequently around the world in concert halls\, festivals\, academic settings\, basements\, and bars across North and South America\, Asia\, Australia\, and Europe. A dedicated collaborator\, he has frequently worked with opera\, theater\, and dance programs\, as well as noise\, free-improv\, and new media artists on projects ranging from video collaborations to 3-hour performance art works.  \nWith a catalog of over 100 programmed works\, his music has been released on Edition Wandelweiser Records\, where one may also find scores of his work\, as well as Petrichor Records\, Sawyer Editions\, Sawyer Spaces\, Impulsive Habitat\, and Another Timbre\, with upcoming releases planned for 2023 on Full Spectrum Records. \nKory is from Nebraska and currently resides in Texas where he is an active performer. He received his PhD from the University of North Texas where he taught courses in composition\, electronic music\, rock music\, music as politics\, and vaporwave and directed the University Electronics Ensemble\, and the Free Improv Ensemble. He is a former student of Antoine Beuger\, Anthony Donofrio\, Sungi Hong\, Joseph Klein\, Mikel Kuehn\, Elainie Lillios\, and Darleen Cowles Mitchel\, and holds a Bachelor of Music degree in composition from the University of Nebraska at Kearney\, and a Master of Music in composition from Bowling Green State University. Kory runs/operates Sawyer Editions\, a small-batch label specializing in contemporary\, experimental\, and improvised music\, especially of new and unreleased artists and the Sawyer Spaces imprint focusing on field recordings and soundscape composition. \n\n\n\nBen Zucker lives for acts of creative juxtaposition and speculation. As an intentionally wide-ranging composer/performer\, he has contributed to experimental scenes across North America and Europe. Performance highlights include working with musicians including Anthony Braxton\, Gareth Davis\, Myra Melford\, Karen Borca\, Vocal Constructivists\, Rinde Eckert\, and the San Francisco Choral Artists\, frequent appearances as an ensemble contributor\, and bandleader of experimental jazz quartet Fifth Season and creative music collective Mad Myth Science. \nTheir ““stirring compositions” (Chicago Reader) have received awards and performances by ensembles including the Mivos Quartet\, Los Angeles Percussion Quartet\, Khorikos\, Ensemble Dal Niente\, and Chicago Composers Orchestra\, and appeared at DOCNYC\, the Darmstadt Fereinkurse\, Steppenwolf Theater\, Trinity College Dublin\, Nordic Percussion Festival\, Ostrava New Music Days\, and Ear Taxi Festival. He has been acclaimed as a “master of improvisation” (IMPOSE Magazine) and “more than a little bit remarkable” (Free Jazz Blog) for solo albums released on labels including Whitelabelrecs\, Dinzu Artefacts\, ears&eyes records\, Slow Tone Collages\, and A Red Thread. \nFollowing studies at Bennington College\, Wesleyan University (BA)\, Brunel University (MA)\, and Northwestern University (PhD)\, they currently live in Chicago. Current life includes ongoing freelance performing and composing\, a\nnd curatorial and production work as the Vice President of New Music Chicago.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Galina Shevchenko: We will survive as Hybrids
DESCRIPTION:Artist Galina Shevchenko opens her new exhibition “We will survive as Hybrids: vernacular embodiments” on Friday\, August 4th\, 6pm – 8pm\n\n\n“Through the process of digital stitching\, animation\, video glitching and augmented reality\, I am musing with a multitude of impossibilities: non didactic\, grotesque & corporeal; transcending cultural\, anatomical & political. \nExisting in a precarious state of a cancer-previvor\, I am mediating danger\, substituting the loss\, but yet enjoying the empowerment\, becoming a cyborg. My cultural conflation: post-Soviet & Russian and my uncharted Ukrainian roots are another source of dichotomy\, inner conflict and inspiration. \nWithin my art practice I am working in cross-mediated plurality\, subverting media in my exploration of the fabric of human body\, overlapping patterned repetition of cultural archetypes\, connecting them into sequential knowledge\, creating a parallel universe and living one\, being a laboratory subject\, yet extending the liminal space and offering possibilities for survival and agency. \n My current ponderings within my state of split identity inspired me to retreat to the Mannerist allegorical tropes\, learning from one of the first feminists in history\, Venetian Florentine beauty\, alchemist and revolutionary Bianca Capello and her magnificent palazzo covered in grotesque allegorical stanzas. \nI am employing animation\, embroidery & augmented reality while sequencing my emotional endurances\, playing with archetypes\, recontextualizing proxy and actual bodies\, nurturing and extrapolating\, maintaining and holding on. \nWe will survive as Hybrids: vernacular embodiments features my current multimedia musings: sculptural\, projected\, performed\, embroidered and augmented.” \n– Artist Galina Shevchenko \n \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nLight refreshments are included and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age.

The program centers around three new works by American composer Michael Hersch. His trio\, sapped from me broken – three songs after texts of Anja Utler sets texts from the German poet ‘s volume münden–entzüngeln (engulf–enkindle)\, exploring close harmonies and rapid shifts of color and texture. Hersch wrote two companion pieces for the program: across … in grief and detail – eleven figures for bassoon and violin\, which spans a range of expression from crystalline to guttural and requires the violinist to sing throughout\, and the trio Misere mei Domine – Fantasia on Music of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and Robert Schumann\, which weaves together haunting materials from the Dutch and German composers. The program is completed by Holz\, a solo bassoon work by German composer Enno Poppe\, and selections from György Kurtag’s Kafka Fragments\, miniatures that set German-language snippets from the Bohemian author’s diaries\, personal correspondences\, and other unpublished writings for soprano and violin. \nhttps://www.ahyounghong.com/ \nwww.benroidlward.com \nhttps://michaelhersch.com/ \nCover image: “Winter” by Christopher Cairns \n*** \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

Learn about the importance of the anatomical sciences in the health professions and see how projected healthcare shortages emboldened the authors to share their passion for anatomy and the medical sciences with young adults. Come mingle with the authors and take in the sites of the museum. Just don’t stay past closing… or you might forever be bound to the code of silence. \nBook Synopsis: \nGavin Hartmann\, a well-rounded 17-year-old\, dies in a tragic accident and reawakens as a plastinated cadaver on display in a museum exhibit. Fellow plastinates welcome him to their fantastical world and disclose that\, as cadavers\, they are entrusted guardians of undiscovered biomedical intelligence. As a permanent plastinate\, he is assigned a new name\, Galen\, which complements his new persona as a compassionate physician. Upon probing the boundaries of his new persona\, Galen acquires the critical foreknowledge to save his high school crush\, Morgan\, who has a life-threatening genetic heart disease. Galen has only a few short days to intercede on Morgan’s behalf before the exhibit departs for a new location and his new persona fully solidifies\, erasing all memories of his past life. Moreover\, Galen must comply with the cadavers’ Code of Silence to avoid dying indefinitely and must navigate the unthinkable by mingling with the living. With the aid of his newfound plastinated comrades\, Galen sets out to save his first love\, even though he risks perishing forever. \n*** \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:CLOUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the duo project of Hunter Brown and Jakob Heinemann and special guest Emily Rach Beisel.\n\n\nClout is the duo project of Hunter Brown and Jakob Heinemann. Through the medium of electroacoustic improvisation\, Clout navigates monolithic sonic territories including stringent rhythmic textures\, perforated noise\, and silence. The fringes of perception and the austere are equally laid bare when Clout is on stage.  \n \nClarinetist Emily Rach Beisel will be performing a solo set to open the concert.  \n \nTickets will be available for $20 at the door. Doors open at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nHunter Brown is a composer\, improviser\, and electronic musician based in Chicago\, Illinois. His practice is focused on creating unpredictable\, idiosyncratic\, and unruly interactions with digital technology. In particular\, he is interested in exploring the unstable material properties of digital systems though technological mediated listening and by pushing the physical mechanisms of digital technology to the threshold of failure. In Chicago\, Hunter serves as the technical director for Ensemble Dal Niente and runs the computer music focused record label Party Perfect!!! alongside collaborator Dominic Coles. He is a PhD Student at the University of Chicago. \n\n\n\nJakob Heinemann is a double bassist\, composer\, improviser and sound artist working between Chicago and Madison\, WI. My interests are wide-ranging\, but tend to center on close listening\, environmental composition\, and open collaborations with other artists. As a bass player\, I frequently perform freely improvised music\, and count myself as a member of the rich and varied community of creative musicians in Chicago. As a composer and sound artist\, I utilize field recordings\, spectral analysis\, and traditional scoring to sonify my local community\, seeking to document and understand a sense of place in a radically changing environment. I have been fortunate to work with some incredible artists over the years including Roscoe Mitchell\, Tomeika Reid\, Mike Reed\, Jim Baker\, and Dave Rempis. \n\n\n\nPhoto credit:  Peter Gannushkin \nEmily Rach Beisel is a Chicago-based improviser\, composer\, educator\, curator and woodwind specialist. Beisel is known for visceral performances blending extended vocal and instrumental techniques with analogue electronics and rich bass clarinet tone.  Their solo album Particle of Organs has been described as “Operatic\, wild and dark. It showcases the raw\, unadulterated power of the body and the instrument\, weaving together sounds that are both corrosive and tender.” \nAs a curator\, Beisel seeks to increase the visibility and involvement of femme\, trans and nonbinary artists in the creative music community. They founded the Pleiades Series at Elastic Arts\, presenting monthly performances along with a community-based free improvisation jam for femme and nonbinary performers. \nBeisel is a member of the contemporary ensemble Fonema Consort\, touring most recently in Brazil\, Mexico\, Minneapolis and New York and premiering works of living composers including James Dillon\, Richard Barrett and Julio Estrada. Beisel holds a Master of Music degree from Northwestern University and is a member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 10-208. \n\n\n*** \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Tanya Gill: Broken Yet Whole
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the newest exhibition\, “Broken Yet Whole\,” by artist Tanya Gill.\n\n\n\nBroken Yet Whole\n \nBy Artist Tanya Gill\n \nNovember 10\, 2023 – February 11\, 2024\n \nOpening reception: Friday\, November 10\, 2023 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Free \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.\n \n \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.\n \n \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.\n \n \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.\n \n \nLearn More: tanyagill.com \n \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___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nLight refreshments are included and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age.

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). Stephen Asma has played with such legends as Bo Diddley and Buddy Guy and is part of the podcast\, Chinwag. \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. AUDIOBOOK \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).

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.
