Thanks to these two young women (who preferred to be identified by their initials) for joining in the dot painting this week. One of the most meaningful aspects of this project for me has been how it expresses–at least in a small, but nevertheless tangible way–the building of community: with Temma (perhaps as a kind of stand-in for the "least" of this world) at the center of that action. These two cousins brought a sisterly affection to the project that I felt honored to experience.
This piece, Without Moving (after Guy Chase), is currently on exhibit in the student union of Northeastern Illinois University in conjunction with my exhibition re. Rainbow Girl which is in the university's gallery. If there are people there to join me I will be doing dot painting on this project on the following days and times. If you are in the Chicago area and would like to come paint dots during those times I welcome your participation.
Tuesday, Sept. 8 from 4 – 6 pm
Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 1 – 3 pm
Thursday, Sept. 10 from 4 – 6 pm
Tuesday, Sept. 15 from 4 – 6 pm
Wednesday, Sept. 16 from 1 – 3 pm
Thursday, Sept. 17 - perhaps from 1:15 - 3:15 (If you are interested in joining please message me to confirm time.)
Here are some other events related to the exhibition re. Rainbow Girl. All are open to the public.
Tuesday, September 8 at 7:30 pm - There will be a live performance by Baby Mountain in the NEIU gallery. Baby Mountain is a music project I direct which, like my painting, takes as it's conceptual guide my daughter Temma. The resulting for-the-most-part acoustic music tends to be ethereal, soulful, playful and poetic. This performance will feature NIEU faculty member, clarinetist (and one of my long-time musical collaborators) Christie Miller.
Wednesday, September 16 at noon I will be doing a talk in the gallery.
Friday, September 18, from 6 - 9 pm there will be the
CLOSING RECEPTION.
