SUMMARY:Nelly Agassi: Insomnia - Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a new\, multi-part exhibit by Nelly Agassi\, featuring work by her mother Ruth Agassi.\n\n\nInsomnia\nBy Nelly Agassi\nFeaturing Dew by Ruth Agassi\nSound by Kotoka Suzuki | Film by Alexandra Yasinovsky\nOctober 11 – November 15\, 2024\n– \nOpening reception: Friday\, October 11\, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM\nFree\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\nPhoto credit: Itai Neeman \n\n\nAbout the artist: \nNelly Agassi born 1973\, Tel Aviv. Lives and works in Chicago. \nAgassi’s work process is full of obsessive\, repetitive\, sisyphean actions\, which function as a gripping point\, as a sole possibility\, as a connection to reality\, to safe ground. Her work represents an important and fascinating transition in the feminist thinking and practice of the nineties\, a transition from a declared engagement with feminism to an existent engagement with femininity. This is\, to a large extent\, a post-feminist stage\, which entails an engagement with the private and the intimate\, not from the starting-point of social immobility or of weakness\, but from a starting-point of privilege and of choice. Agassi’s works do echo the traditional\, domestic\, women’s crafts – embroidery\, sewing\, knitting – but her use of these materials is not conventional\, certainly not functional\, and accumulates a different resonance that stems from the sober awareness of the moment of choice. \nAgassi had numerous solo exhibitions. Among others\, she exhibited in the Nahum Gutman Museum (Tel Aviv)\, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts (Chicago)\, Tel Aviv Museum of Art (Tel Aviv)\, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art (Herzliya). She was part of various group exhibitions\, including in the Tate Modern (London)\, Israel Museum (Jerusalem)\, Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago)\, Zacheta National Gallery of Art (Warsaw)\, Design Museum (Milano)\, and the Chicago Cultural Center (Chicago). During her career\, Agassi won numerous awards and prizes\, e.g. she was awarded the Nathan Gottesdiener Foundation for Israeli Art Prize of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2003. Her works are featured in the collections of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Israel Museum (Jerusalem). Her works are featured in the collections of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Israel Museum (Jerusalem). \n \n(Below) Ruth Agassi\, Dew.  \n\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:Workshop: Kintsugi For Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the coming of fall by exploring the artistry of kintsugi! All levels welcome.\n\n\nKintsugi Workshop for Beginners\nwith Mami Takahashi\nOctober 12\, 2024\n10:00am – 12:00pm\n \nKintsugi is a traditional Japanese Urushi (lacquer)-based craft 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 is what makes the ceramics more valuable. \nIn this beginner’s workshop\, participants will learn the basic and simplified version of Kintsugi process on a small porcelain plate 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\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\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. \n\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 SurgicalScience acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Musician Minus Instrument: Beyond This Point
DESCRIPTION:What does a musician become without their instrument? Can they use their skills in other ways\, and still make music?\n\n\nMusicians Minus Instrument\nwith Beyond This Point\nOctober 18\, 2024\n7:30pm\nDoors at 7:00pm \n\n\nTickets \n$20 for General Admission\, presale \n$25 for General Admission at the door \n$10 for Student (proof of ID will be requested at door) \nFree for museum members \n\n\nAbout this program:  \nWhat does a musician become without their instrument? Can they use their skills in other ways\, and still make music? What are the boundaries of what we can all agree is an “instrument”? What does musical virtuosity become if we don’t have 88 keys\, 4 strings and a bow\, or a polished brass tube through which to experience it? \nLiving up to their name\, Chicago-based collective ensemble Beyond This Point explores these questions in a concert that both breaks and expands what it means to be a musician and a performer. The musicians’ “instruments” run the gamut from a loose jack cable to an IKEA desk lamp to their own bodies and voices. Each work is suffused with musical virtuosity\, but that virtuosity is brought to bear on an object or context that seems to resist being labeled as “musical”. Yet\, after passing through the eye of the needle\, the performers and audience alike emerge on the other side having glimpsed at a possible future where musical expression is no longer constrained to the world of instruments. \n\n\n\nAbout the Ensemble: \nBeyond This Point is a percussion-based collaborative ensemble that aims to engage diverse audiences through intersections across artistic mediums\, presenting programs that synthesize musical performance with theater\, movement\, media/film\, sculpture\, social justice\, and environmentalism among others.Founded in 2014\, Beyond This Point has presented original hybrid works for percussion\, vocals\, visual art\, and theater in Chicago at such venues as the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Steppenwolf 1700 Theater\, the University of Chicago\, A Red Orchid Theatre\, Epiphany Center for the Arts\, and Constellation. Additionally\, Beyond This Point has performed their original productions in Seattle at On The Boards\, as part of the Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival\, and as part of Chicago’s Ear Taxi Festival. \n\n\nPlease note that this program includes flashing lights which may not be suitable to those with photosensitivity.  \nProgram: \n\nSituation No. 7 – ImaginationFrançois Sarhan (b. 1972)for 2 performers\nHypochondriacDavid Bird (b. 1990)for two performers\, interactive electronics\, and lights\nLongevity of Lightbulbs (and how to make them last longer)Stefano D’Alessio (b. 1987)for IKEA desk lamp and live electronics\nHome WorkFrançois Sarhanfor solo performer\nSituation No. 15 – Freiheit und MachtFrançois Sarhanfor solo performer and 2 assistants\n4c0st1ctr1g3rKaj Duncan David (b. 1988)for MIDI percussion pad\, 909 Clap and 808 Kick samples\, light/shadow.\nbSimon Løffler (b. 1981)Trio for guitar effects pedals\, fluorescent lights\, and loose jack cable\n\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 SurgicalScience acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.
