Logan Square ARTicipation Tour Bringing out the artillery for Chicago Artists Month, Chicago ARTillery and Elastic Arts Foundation host a roster of interactive and participatory art events, exhibitions and open studios throughout the month of October 2009. Chicago ARTillery works on display are either painted collectively or have various ways that they can be displayed. In many works, the artists allow the audience to determine how to position them. The Chicago ARTillery Collective asks the audience to think, touch, move, and rearrange the works.

Montanez; Tracy Kostenbader; Camilo Quitze Quintana; Rene Montanez; Iris Iris Pasic; Julia Rochholz and photography by Chrystal McGrew plus invited guests. The featured large-scale works have various ways that they can be displayed and the artists allow the audience to determine how to position them. Each arrangement presents a new theme or new protaganists who are often hidden in other display arrangements. The result is due to the unique technique of using various canvas or paper panels. The works are inspired by music jams and improvisation. As the music plays, the art will be moved and rearranged; the audience is invited to get moving on the dance floor and to move the art on the walls. Exhibition display October 1 through November 15
Elastic
Sound & Vision Gallery Presents "Exhibiting 200 — 12"x 18" acrylic on paper, a four year exploration of various jazz musicians, improvisational Jazz, creative music, electric music, and alternative sound, where I created abstract sketches in a response to their sound stream, and what I am feeling, or seeing during these performances. Vibrational sound narratives are a very comprehensive system of patterns, or vibrations that teach our bodies at all levels how to have a new experience. They activate a practice similar to Vibra Keys association with sound, shape, and image in the context of emotional response, and unlock visual-spatial intelligence in the artists among us, who think in pictures and images. Some of the musicians perform at venues in Chicago: Elastic Arts Foundation, Chicago Calling Arts Festival, Brown Rice, Umbrella Music Festival at the Chicago Cultural Center, Velvet Lounge, Ancestral Lofts, Heaven Gallery, AACM tribute to Fletcher Henderson at Millennium Park, Earnest Dawkins Sunday Afternoon Jam sessions, Nicole Mitchell's tribute to Alice Coltrane, Ways & Means Trio, and Dan & Jon Godston’s Mingus Awareness Project just to list a few." —Alpha Bruton Exhibition display during the month of October during shows (check website) or open by appointment" call: 312.867.1846 (leave message).
