OPEN INVITE TO ALL CHICAGO ARTISTS
Dear Chicago Artists,

You are warmly invited to stand in a group portrait, rain or shine, on the front steps of the MCA Chicago on Saturday, June 20th, mark your calendars! Given the unique light/shadow situation that changes all day on front steps, it is looking likely that the photograph will need to be made at 12:30pm, and the plaza is open to attendees to socialize and primp starting at 11:30am...stay tuned for a confirmation of these times!

The group portrait will be owned by everyone and become part of the public domain! It is my intention to not ‘own’ this photograph but to put it online for anyone to print, alter, distribute as they see fit (as this seems to happen anyways in our image culture)...in other words, I want to have it in the public domain where I think it belongs and watch it move around, mutate, and engage a greater audience. I will not monetize the image. If anything, I may hang the image in a future exhibition, or publish it in a book, and any other artist is welcome to do the same. The MCA will be given the same open permission to use the image as they see fit, for museum publicity, publications, archives...and this seems fine as they have dedicated resources to sponsoring and supporting the photoshoot with their property and the labor hours of their staff.
For any minors who wish to join in the moment, please bring your parent or guardian sign a release form provided at the event.
If you have questions about this, email jasonlazarus.photo@gmail.com

Judith Hladik-Voss in need of assistance

Artists at CWCA,

I have missed participating in CWCA for some years now. Many of you are aware of the fact that I've been ill and unable to work for over 5 years. This is why you haven't seen me!

An artist friend, Courtney Vole-Brobst,  suggested that I ask for art donations from my friends and colleagues. She is setting up a weekly updated Ebay Auction site to benefit me, and help defray my medical debt.
I will also be listing my artwork, and prints that I have collected over the past 20 years from various fantastic printmakers. My website will have a link to my ebay auction page.

I have outstanding medical bills, for which I need some immediate help. I am still in a recovery process, with no idea of when this situation might improve. An ongoing auto-immune disorder of over 40 years has been worsened by some newer issues.

An IRS Donation Account has been opened at Chase Bank, the proceeds of which can only be used to pay medical bills.  It is called : Judith Hladik-Voss Donation Account. Contact me directly for more information.

If this is something you are able to do, I would appreciate any help. If you can share this with your artist friends, I'd be much obliged.
If you would like other information about any of this, please contact me. I'd like to hear from you. I'd really love to see you.

DADA TURNS THE TABLES ART EXHIBIT

Exhibit: July 12 – September 5 

Opening Program: Saturday, July 12, 7 – 9:30 pm 

Living in the shadow of WWI bloodbath , Dada used art as a metaphor for life. Like the war, it doesn’t make sense. Or so it seems. 

Prominent artists of the early Dada period, used collage, photomontage, painting, ‘readymade’ objects and oddly juxtaposed images in a seemingly random, senseless order, yet created intriguing compositions, metaphors and concepts with a new more implicit surreal yet very real meaning. Cut-up magazine, random words were often incorporated into the image. 

Dada was more than a new genre. It was a protest movement that used art to unveil fascism, corruption, racism, decadence and hypocrisy during the Weimar era and the years leading to WWII. 

Hannah Hoech called Dada: the Police of Police. Marcel Duchamp’s art aimed to demonstrate that everything can be something else, alluding to the temporary and relativistic status of our basic beliefs. The show is an homage to Dada and its relevance today and tomorrow displaying prints of early Dadaists. 

Four locally Dada style artists are featured as well: Andrej Domansky with 3 striking surrealistic oil paintings, and Helen Jones- Mayer, Helene Smith-Romer and Penelope Thrasher, who use mixed media, cut ups, collage and photomontage in a hyperbolic way. Performance: Joanie Pallatto, vocalist, Bradley Sparrow, piano, a well- known Chicago Jazz duo, and Janice Misurell-Mitchell, flutist, performer, music professor will perform Weimar genre as well as Dada style music, vocal and poetry. 

Ayala Leyser will speak about: ‘Dada the meaning of Meaninglessness in art and poetry’
