Danielle Lurie:  Our New Favorite Artist

MG_6763-Edit

Danielle Lurie’s work is simple, funny and profound.  It exhibits that special depth that one expects from Japanese calligraphy and seldom from cartooning.  It comes as no surprise then that Lurie uses Japanese ink for her creations.

As many of you know, Rachel Monosov is a TincaArt staple.  Her work fascinates and scares me at the same time.

Although I cannot pry my eyes away, looking directly, deeply, makes me question my understanding of my body as a woman, my role in society, and my status in the universe.

St Art saw much of the same magic in Monosov’s work.  Director Serge Trioche supported the Bunny Project and ensured its fruition.

The Process was a long one, taking over a month of work.  Rachel modeled for a sculptress every day for almost three weeks and the form came alive in clay.

Supported by a steel form, the details were decided:  making the calfs and feet that of a bunny, the size of the ears and the discreet the hairstyle.

Once it was perfect and an exact duplicate of Rachel’s body in every detail, the structure

Once it was perfect and an exact duplicate of Rachel’s body in every detail, the structure was broken apart in order to created the mold that could later be used to create multiple works.

 

 

Once the mold was formed and dried, the hollow sculpture was created.  Finding and building a pump that would move carrot juice from mouth to anus in an on-going cycle was yet another adventure that is better discovered over a cocktail.

BEETHOVEN AS MAN AND MUSE

Contemporary Art and Film exhibit curated by Beethoven Festival 2011 Art Director Catinca Tabacaru buttresses 5 day and 5 nights of classical concerts performed by Chicago’s most renowned musicians.  The Festival presents the first collection of Beethoven Portraits in over 200 years and includes works by Amina Ahmed, Michael Cuffe, David J. Eichenberg, Carly Ivan Garcia, Ellen Gradman, Mostafa Heravi, Amy Hill, Edward J. Hines, Maya Kalabic, Hugh Leeman, Brian Leo, Danielle Lurie, Rachel Monosov, J. Thomas Pallas, Amir Parsa, Gail Stoicheff, Rhom and Anne Worbes.

CHICAGOInternational Beethoven Project (IBP) – the organization that brought the historic and critically acclaimed (Chicago Tribune, New York Times) Beethoven World Premiere to Chicago in 2009 – has again made Chicago its premiere location, this time for its newest project:  Beethoven Festival 2011. A radical new vision for presenting culture in both contemporary and historical contexts, Beethoven Festival 2011 is a five-day, multi-disciplinary celebration of the life, works and spirit of Ludwig van Beethoven through music and art.  To be presented in spectacular fashion at the edgy and acoustically superb CHICAGO URBAN ART SOCIETY from 4pm until 2am nightly, with many performances broadcast live on Chicago’s 98.7 WFMT radio.

The Festival features 70 musicians–performing over 80 pieces of music from 20 living composers, 12 contemporary artists, 5 filmmakers, 3 scholars, 2 actors and 1 poet.  Also featured are twenty new works for piano solo and music spanning 400 years –from baroque to rock, solo to orchestra, with plenty of Beethoven at center.  Food and Drink vendors will be on location to allow audiences to enjoy concerts with a glass in hand, in a home-like setting.

President and Artistic Director of IBP, George Lepauw, explains: “Few people get to experience the great master as he should be: a true radical in a radical setting.  Beethoven was a rebel who broke all the rules of musical and societal conventions, changing forever the world of art and the rights of the artist. He was the first modernist. Thus we are challenging all the rules of classical music programming, in honor of Beethoven’s spirit of defiance and experimentation, with the goal of inspiring artists and audiences to be fearless, visionary and always hopeful. Ultimately this project is not really about music, or art, but about humanity and bringing people together around memorable and beautiful sights and sounds.”
