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. 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\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:Performance: knock\, and the doors of perception shall be opened unto you
DESCRIPTION:Exploring bodies\, minds\, and perceptions through an intermix of media\, technology\, and performances.\n\n\nPerformance: knock\, and the doors of perception shall be opened unto you\nExploring bodies\, minds\, and perceptions\, //sense presents an experimental community theater that activates the International Museum of Surgical Science through an intermix of media\, technology\, and performances. By transforming the space into an inviting\, immersive\, and interactive space\, leading artists blur the boundaries between audiences and performers with socially engaging works\, actions\, and happenings. \nAmidst global anxiety on warfare and past collective trauma\, we transcend media tools and simple actions into medicine that heals\, restores\, and rejuvenates humanity through a decentralized artmaking process. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artist: \nGordon Fung (b. 1988\, San Francisco) is a transdisciplinary artist-curator who works with large-scale curatorial practices\, experimental audiovisual performances\, new media installations\, noise music\, experimental film/video\, and media archaeology. \nInspired by the unique Chicago video/media arts lineage and collectivity in Fluxus\, Gordon forms and directs the experimental time-based arts collective //sense to showcase large-scale experimental community theater performances\, exhibitions\, and screenings. Counteracting the marginalization of experimental time-based arts\, he curates and fosters a collaborative common ground for sound\, video\, performance\, and media artists to create gesamtkunstwerk through synergy. \nParticipating Artists:|/∆/|∆y∆ ‡()rr3s {}() {}∆‡!(){}\, Sam Anthem\, Kat Bawden\, Eunjin Choi\, Gordon Fung\, Ping Ho\, Kaixin Huang\, HWIY\, Virginia Kennard\, Janna Lee\, Eun Jin Lee\, Sage (Shu Tzu) Lin\, Yiyi Liu\, Claire Lobenfeld\, Kim Nucci\, Michael Orr\, Lorenzo Osterheim\, Che Pai\, A.

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. Sound healing sessions include crystal quartz sound bowls\, waterphone\, breathwork\, voice\, and a brief guided meditation. \nWe advise guests to bring water because it helps with grounding after the sound bath and it is good to have some available during the session for comfort. Also\, wear comfortable clothing. There is no wrong way to observe a sound bath–no expectations as you can simply rest and clear your mind or set an intention for healing for the session. The frequencies created from the bowls are “intelligent sounds” and know where to go (what your body needs) much like Reiki energy. \n \n5 things to know before you attend a sound bath \nhttps://www.elitedaily.com/p/what-is-a-sound-bath-5-thing-to-know-before-you-bathe-in-the-sound-2975477 \n \nEverything you need to know about sound healing \nhttps://blog.mindvalley.com/sound-healing/ \n\n\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.
