Their practice is engaged in the intersections between performativity\, political imaginaries\, the body and virtuality. Largely\, their approach has been one of sampling materials both existing and self-authored in the form of sound\, image\, text\, objects and recasting them into altogether new ‘scripts’. The result is a practice that investigates the political\, visceral\, material possibilities of sound\, image\, text and site\, taking on the form of multi-media installations and live sound/image performances. \nImage courtesy of the artists. \nThis lecture is presented as part of the Spring 2024 Visiting Artist Lectures\, free and open to all. \nThis event will be fully virtual. \n RSVP Here URL:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/calendar-event/visiting-artist-lecture-basel-abbas-and-ruanne-abou-rahme/ LOCATION:Virtual Events CATEGORIES:Art & Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/0007_PinchukArt_Film05-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231108T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231108T210000 DTSTAMP:20260505T093540 CREATED:20230927T142119Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231108T191903Z UID:10002591-1699470000-1699477200@www.masongross.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED 11/13 - Visiting Artist Lecture: JJJJJerome Ellis DESCRIPTION:JJJJJerome Ellis is an artist and a proud stutterer.

The site where it all comes together is the studio. Her artmaking—which encompasses a variety of mediums including drawing\, painting\, video and sculpture—is driven by a distinctive value in the productivity of work and takes place outside of dominant systems. Grabner instead finds a creative center in operating across platforms and towards community. \nCentral to the work is process. Grabner uncovers new dynamic relationships through her visionary practice of repetition. With a deep attention to abstract patterns and all the metaphors they conjure\, Grabner pushes the limits of compositional structures to discover the tipping point between stability and precariousness; between continuance and wondrous difference. \nMichelle Grabner (b. 1962\, Oshkosh\, WI) received her MA in Art History and BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee\, and an MFA in Art Theory and Practice from Northwestern University. She is Senior Chair of the Department of Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, and was a Core Critic at Yale University in the Department of Painting and Printmaking from 2011 to 2014. In 2021\, Grabner was awarded the Fine Arts Guggenheim Fellowship. She returned to Yale in 2020 as a Visiting Artist. A regular contributor to Artforum\, her writing has also appeared in publications including Art in America\, Frieze\, Modern Painters\, and Art-Agenda. Grabner co-curated the 2014 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art along with Anthony Elms and Stuart Comer\, and served as the inaugural artistic director of FRONT International\, a triennial exhibition in Cleveland\, Ohio\, and the vicinity that ran from July through September of 2018. She is also the founder and co-director of two non-profit art spaces in Wisconsin\, The Suburban and The Poor Farm\, with her husband\, artist Brad Killam. \nThis lecture is presented as part of the Spring 2023 Visiting Artist Lecture Series\, free and open to all. \n  \n Register for Zoom link URL:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/calendar-event/visiting-artist-lecture-michelle-grabner/ LOCATION:Virtual Events CATEGORIES:Art & Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Screen-Shot-2023-02-22-at-10.29.46-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230301T210000 DTSTAMP:20260505T093540 CREATED:20230222T203051Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230228T154039Z UID:10002486-1677697200-1677704400@www.masongross.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture Series: Carmen Winant DESCRIPTION:Carmen Winant is an artist and the Roy Lichtenstein Chair of Studio Art at the Ohio State University; her work utilizes installation and collage strategies to examine feminist modes of survival and revolt.

Created through a complex system of painting\, drawing\,cutting\, and collaging onto wood panels\, her practice is centered around the depiction of figures\, symbols\, and abstract spaces using multi-layered ornamental surfaces and fields of color. Drawing on her experience as a Japanese-born artist growing up in Brazil and later practicing in the United States\, Fueki’s work embraces the visual language from these three distinct cultures. As Fueki explains: “I consider myself a mixed-language painter with interest in eastern and western perspectival systems\, architectural graphics\, pop animation\, pre-Renaissance European painting\, and exuberant color.” \nChie Fueki (b. 1973) lives and works in Beacon\, NY. Fueki was born in Yokohama\, Japan\, and raised in São Paulo\, Brazil. She earned her MFA at Yale University and her BFA at The Ringling College of Art and Design.

It is inspired by the Angela Davis: Seize the Time exhibition currently on view at the Zimmerli Art Museum. Presented by the Department of Art & Design at Mason Gross School of the Arts\, the Zimmerli Art Museum\, and Windows of Understanding. \nModerated by: Elvis Fuentes\, Dodge Lawrence Graduate Fellow at the Zimmerli Art Museum \n  \n Register\nFeaturing\n© Filippo AlferoPAV – Parco Arte Vivente\, inaugurazione mostra “The God Trick” e convegno internazionaleTorino\, 04/05/2018 \nSteve Kurtz\nSteve Kurtz (Professor Emeritus) is a founding member of Critical Art Ensemble. CAE is an award-winning collective of artists of various specializations—including digital imaging and web design\, wetware\, film/video\, photography\, text art\, book art\, installation\, and performance—dedicated to exploring the intersections between art\, technology\, political activism\, and critical theory. For more than three decades CAE has produced and exhibited art around the world that examines questions surrounding information and communication technology\, biotechnologies\, and ecological and environmental struggle. CAE has written eight books on cultural resistance\, the latest being Aesthetics\, Necropolitics\, and Environmental Struggle. Their writings appear in more than 20 languages. \n  \nPhotographer: Peter Rosemann \nHamlet Lavastida\nHamlet Lavastida artist (* 1983 in Havana/Cuba) is a political activist by way of his art. This provocative\, boundary-pushing artist thrives on highlighting the distinctly Cuban spirit of cultural resistance. His work arose from the need to create an objective criterion for certain hidden areas of the implementation\, administration and functioning of state political practices in Cuba. Central to Lavastida’s artistic practice is the appropriation of texts\, images and symbols\, as well as political speeches and ideological terminologies\, which he questions critically within the framework of his work. The relevant factor is their reinterpretation using the same or a similar format to that in which they were originally created revealing the absurdity of these historic brands and at the same time examines and demystifies the tools of propaganda. Issues such as cultural policy\, design\, public sphere\, archaeology and historiography are addressed from different media such as video\, collages\, performances\, public interventions and installations. Hamlet’s work has been exhibited widely\, including at the Artium Museum in Spain\, the Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Poland\, and the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin\, Germany. \n  \nMarita Muukkonen and Ivor Stodolsky\, representing Artists at Risk\nARTISTS at RISK (AR) is a non-profit network institution at the intersection of human rights and the arts.

In his videos\, feature films\, sculptures\, and technologically complex installations\, Beloufa plays on the viewer’s sensory experience\, inviting them to reappraise their own beliefs and stereotypes. He addresses present-day issues that range from power relationships to digital surveillance\, to data collection and nationalistic ideologies\, to identity and a post-colonial understanding of the world. \nNeïl Beloufa’s work is strongly influenced by the world of the web\, by videogames\, by reality TV and political propaganda\, using the vocabulary of the information age to lift the lid on the value system of a society permeated with digital technology\, where everything\, from food choices to human relationships is established on the basis of an algorithm. \n Register URL:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/calendar-event/visiting-artist-lecture-neil-beloufa/ LOCATION:Virtual Events CATEGORIES:Art & Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Neil-Beloufa-event.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220228T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220228T210000 DTSTAMP:20260505T093540 CREATED:20220127T173056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220216T140714Z UID:10002325-1646074800-1646082000@www.masongross.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture: Lex Brown DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of the artist \nThis virtual lecture is presented as part of the spring 2022 Visiting Artist Lecture Series\, free and open to all.

Registration is required. Live captioning is available. \nJonathan Berger’s work centers around the practice of exhibition making\, encompassing a spectrum of activity concerned with a rigorous investigation of the many ways in which the exhibition site can be repurposed\, and the subsequent potential for that site to allow for an expansion and reconsideration of what art can be and how it can be made. While his projects vary significantly\, the exhibitions themselves are always the “work\,” with the discrete parts contributing to a greater whole. He maintains an interest in abstract and experimental forms of both archival work and non-fiction\, including embodied biography\, portraiture\, oral history\, and documentary\, as rendered through the creation of large-scale\, narrative-based exhibitions made from both constructed and found objects. \nMost recently he presented the exhibition An Introduction to Nameless Love\, which was co-commissioned by the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at Harvard University and Participant Inc NYC\, and exhibited at each venue in 2019 and 2020 respectively. The exhibition was created over a six year period involving some 47 collaborators in its production. His current project\, The Store\, at the Aspen Art Museum\, exists as a hybrid environment that is at once a place of commerce\, exhibition\, and archive. \nBerger has also presented solo installations at the Busan Biennial\, South Korea; Vox Populi\, Philadelphia; Maccarone\, New York; Karma\, New York; Grimm-Rosenfeld Gallery\, New York; Frieze Projects\, London; Adams and Ollman\, Portland\, OR; and VEDA\, Florence\, Italy. His collaborative and curatorial projects have been presented at venues including Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; The Hebbel Theater\, Berlin\, Germany; The Queens Museum of Art\, New York; and Performance Space 122\, New York\, among others. From 2013–2016\, Berger served as Director of 80WSE Gallery at NYU\, where he mounted a wide range of collaboratively produced major exhibition projects presenting the work of Ellen Cantor\, Bob Mizer\, Printed Matter\, James “Son Ford” Thomas\, Michael Stipe\, Vaginal Davis\, Susanne Sachsse\, and Xiu Xiu\, among others. He is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art Professions at New York University\, and he lives and works in New York City and Glover\, VT. \n  \n Register URL:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/calendar-event/visiting-artist-lecture-jonathan-berger/ LOCATION:Virtual Events CATEGORIES:Art & Design ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.masongross.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Jonathan-Berger-event.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220125T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220125T213000 DTSTAMP:20260505T093540 CREATED:20211208T155636Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220124T175815Z UID:10001748-1643139000-1643146200@www.masongross.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:The Raritan Players presents "The Arts as Black Resistance in Eighteenth-Century London: The Music of Ignatius Sancho" DESCRIPTION:Image credit: Francesco Bartolozzi\, engraving of Ignatius Sancho after a portrait by Thomas Gainsborough (1768).

Namoda studies the unlikely meeting points between antagonistic mythologies and gives new meaning to symbols through boldly constructed images. \nA signature aspect of her work is that it brings together a constellation of external references that the artist then mixes with very personal aspects of her world\, close to how a novelist constructs a story by amalgamating the personal with the universal. In this way\, Namoda’s works sometimes depict friends of hers and people she knows but in a different time or extraneous context. Furthermore\, Namoda’s figuration brings together earthly scenes with oftentimes complex theological contexts\, and her work can bring together the most sacred and symbolic images with the most popular and contemporary. This freedom is one of the central aspects of her painting\, which questions the geographic and temporal limits of stories told but not usually painted.
