Artist Talk: Mark Rospenda Thursday, October 5, 2023 7:00 to 8:00 EDT Peeler Art Center, Auditorium Join us for an engaging artist talk featuring Mark Rospenda and his thought-provoking exhibition, Filter Feeder. The talk will take place at the Peeler Art Center, Auditorium. Mark's work explores the concept of filter feeders, immobile ocean organisms that passively absorb food from their surroundings, drawing a parallel to the human experience of images constantly inundating us without seeking them actively. Through drawings and paper sculptures, Mark's self-portrait as a poetic representation of knowledge and belief raises questions about the fragility of our understanding when faced with moments that challenge our perceptions of reality. This event is free and open to the public. |

Artist Talk: Marc Fischer Friday, May 5, 2023, 4:30 - 5:30pm EDT Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (lower level) Temporary Services is Brett Bloom and Marc Fischer. We are based in Ft. Wayne (IN) and Chicago. Salem Collo-Julin worked with us from 2001-2014. We have existed, with several changes in membership and structure, since 1998. We produce exhibitions, events, projects, and publications. The distinction between art practice and other creative human endeavors is irrelevant to us. The best way of testing our ideas has been to do them without waiting for permission or invitation. We invent infrastructure or borrow it when necessary. We were not taught this in school. We try different approaches, inspired by others equally frustrated by the systems they inherited, who created their own methods for getting work into the public. Temporary Services started as an experimental exhibition space in a working class neighborhood of Chicago. Our name directly reflects the desire to provide art as a service to others. It is a way for us to pay attention to the social context in which art is produced and received. Having “Temporary Services” displayed on our window helped us to blend in with the cheap restaurants, dollar stores, currency exchanges, and temporary employment agencies on our street. We were not immediately recognizable as an art space. This was partly to stave off the stereotypical role we might have played in the gentrification of our neighborhood. We weren’t interested in making art for sale. Within the boundaries of “what sells” artists often carve out tiny aesthetic niches to protect, peddle, and repeat indefinitely, rather than opening themselves up to new possibilities. Experiencing art in the places we inhabit on a daily basis remains a critical concern for us. It helps us move art from a privileged experience to one more directly related to how we live our lives. A variety of people should decide how art is seen and interpreted, rather than continuing to strictly rely on those in power. We move in and out of officially sanctioned spaces for art, keeping one foot in the underground the other in the institution. Staying too long in one or the other isn’t healthy. We are interested in art that takes engaging and empowering forms. We collaborate amongst ourselves and with others, even though this may destabilize how people understand our work. This event is free and open to the public. |

Artist Talk: Professor John Berry Wednesday, March 8, 2023, 4:30pm est Peeler Art Center, Visual Arts Gallery The paintings in Arboreta draw inspiration from the history, structures, and resilience of the Schrebergarten in Leipzig Germany, exploring the implications for how we organize our images, ourselves, and our communities. Hovering between landscape and abstraction, flat shapes compartmentalize space into different surfaces, barricades, and hiding spots. The artifice and ambiguities of spatial illusion are out in the open, weaving a seemingly wider range of frequencies into a smaller, simpler encounter. This event is free and open to the public. |
