A+D Gallery - Columbia College Chicago
Criteria
Curated by Jimena Acosta and Emiliano Godoy
January 15 - February 28, 2009

Criteria explores the ethics and politics that embody contemporary notions of sustainability. Using art as a lens through which our unsustainable systems of production and consumption can be evaluated from an ethical perspective, the work in this exhibition pierces skepticism and challenges our preconceived notions on environmental and social trends.  Exhibiting artists include, Siri Brekke (Norway), Edward Burtynsky (Canada), Máximo González (Mexico), Aylin Kayser and Cristian Metzner (Germany), Jason Middlebrook (USA), Paolo Pennuit (Italy), Diego Pérez (Mexico), among others.

A & D Gallery : "Busted Amp"

For the last week or so I been sitting at the desk at A & D Gallery watching artist come and go , screen printing this crazy and amazing collage of images on the walls. It looks like some sort of controlled , uncontrolled, chaos o' art.It's all for A & D Gallery's new show ; "Busted Amp" . The show was curated by Anchor Graphics.I took pictures to show you guys a little bit of the process in action but since my bag full o' stuff of mine got stolen at Ohare few weeks back I just realized all my camera stuff was in there, sooooooooooooo I cant upload any photos. But it looks amazing. tomorrow we finish the installation of all the works and everyone should come check out the show at the opening on Thursday night, like in two days. it really is a great show and you get to see me , Yay! Ill be working my first opening at A & D so would be nice for some peeps to come show support. Like I said I'm really happy to be working for some non for profits recently who seem to be doing things for the love of the art a little more than my past experience in commercial gallery hell. I am very thankful for my past opportunities and experience but it is a whole different ballgame when you get to work amongst people with drive and true interest in the art and artist involved. Woman made Gallery has also been a great boost of support. Anyways, seriously check out the show, there will be something in NewCity regarding the show and there is an ad in Works on Paper magazine and PRINT.
