7-9PM Cashing Out, curated by Petrushka Bazin Larsen - the first exhibition to use NURTUREart's new Online Registry as a curatorial resource. Cashing Out features artists' musings on our current financial system and their creative proposals for establishing alternative economies. The exhibition is informed by economic inequities, excessive production of goods, unfair wages, discord between nations and an overall desire to become a more sustainable society where we rely on each other and our natural abilities to make ends meet. Looking to the artist as an author of innovation and creative problem solving, Cashing Out also considers how our current economy can be destabilized using community networks, cooperative economics, bartering, and other exchanges.
By bringing together video, sculpture, participatory prompts and ephemera by Shinsuke Aso, Nicky Enright,Heather Hart, Mary Jeys, Michelle Kaufman, Carolyn Lambert, and Scott Massey, the gallery becomes a space for conversation about these circumstances and hopefully a catalytic platform for new solutions.
On view through May 16, 2013

7-9PM Videorover: Season 6 in partnership with RAPID PULSE, an International Performance Art Festival based in Chicago. Curated by Giana Gambino and Rachel Steinberg.
The sixth season of Videorover will showcase performance-inspired works made for the camera and to be presented on screen. The works in this exhibition are created using performance as a departure point and medium, privileging the body as the vehicle for production but also looking to the camera as a collaborator. In these works, performance acts allow the camera to complete them, mediating the gap between performer and audience.
Expanding the boundaries of what is or can be performance art is one of the many focuses of RAPID PULSE, as well as questioning ideas on presence, live-ness and mediation. Curated by Giana Gambino and Rachel Steinberg, Videorover: Season 6 will feature works by artists: Bridget Batch, Heather Delaney, Kerry Downey, Michael H Hall, Constantin Hartenstein, Gabriel Hosovsky, Lindsay Packer, Daniel Seiple, Alina Tenser, Jacob Tonski, and Roland Wegerer.
