Artslant- MDW Review

MDW, Part II

by Steve Ruiz

Last weekend was the second iteration of the MDW Fair, an independent visual arts fair located at the Geolofts building in the industrial district west of Bridgeport. Despite this being the second round for MDW, and only a few months after the first iteration, the fair’s legacy is about only seven months old and still in flux, so a quick history may be useful:

In early 2011, the city of Chicago was experiencing a particularly Chicago-style problem: its emerging, independent artists and galleries were being cut out the art fairs, alternative and straight. Version Fest’s NFO XPO couldn’t take the refugees, as it was too politically left, and perhaps perceived as career-endingly DIY to some emerging artists, whereas Art Chicago couldn’t or wouldn’t price their spaces low enough for adoption by independent spaces or small galleries. While visual art fairs in Chicago have had a long and sordid history (usually told with deep sighs on either end), they have served as valuable gathering sites in a city where visual art culture is remarkably fragmented by geography, institutions, and access. With dozens of local art groups opting out of Art Chicago, a new alternative had to be found.

Through e-mails and rushed meetings came MDW (originally Midway Independent Art Fair), an experimental revision of the shape and role of an art fair. MDW is produced by a few of the city’s most ambitious organizers: the Public Media Institute (Ed Marzewski and Aron Gent), Threewalls (director Shannon Stratton), and Roots & Culture (director Eric May). The speed of this group’s deployment was incredibly rapid, racing from concept to an announcement, to proposals. to an opening about three weeks later. With square footage for booths at bargain prices, MDW was priced to move fast.

MDW Fall Showcase, 2011.

As a place of gathering, MDW was a major success. Everyone showed up, everyone seemed to be participating in one or more of the booths (myself included), and though few sales made, the event launched a number of outside projects and productive collaborations. While its aesthetics were mixed, the sharp spaces and rough edges reflected the way things are normally done in Chicago each weekend, where the city’s best art might occur in a basement gallery paradoxically manicured on only two walls. The fair also reflected the city’s middle reality; namely, that our community is composed of a range of spaces, collectives, galleries, and studios, none of which are operating in opposition to one another. New loft spaces sell work and adopt a clean image despite being unincorporated; established storefront spaces still invite students to the after-parties and put on experimental exhibitions. Whatever this artist-run community is independent from, or whatever it presents an alternative to, it isn’t necessarily within Chicago.

But that was all the way back in the spring.

This fall’s fair was different, less about showing Chicago to itself, and more about learning from what we’re doing, and building on what we’ve done. This second MDW is the result of a Threewalls conference, titled Hand in Glove, which would focus on organizing alternative art communities, making them practical and sustainable, without threatening their essential independence. These academic and critical pursuits seemed to demand proximity to the subject of their discussion, especially as many of the speakers and attendees were artists themselves, so integrating a second MDW fair was the natural, albeit impromptu, choice.

The group at Hand in Glove was distinctly non-local, however, with intercontinental visitors and historic presenters (Courtney Fink of Southern Exposure, Nato Thompson of Creative Time, and Martha Wilson of Franklin Furnace to name only a few) describing their motivations, experiences, and technologies for building communities of artists. The fair was also expanded, both in the number of participants and the variety of hometowns represented. Milwaukee in particular showed up strong, with Small Space hosting hunts for spaces of social potential in the industrial districts surrounding the Geolofts; both naBr’s video by Phyllis Baldino and the Green Gallery’s first in the curious “Lunch Box” series were stand-outs, sharing an ad-hock appreciation for built installations as installation spaces. Maryland’s Nudashank took its odd corner space and ran with it, giving an added appeal to works from Tracy Thomason and Bettina Yung.

Duncan MacKenzie and Richard Holland of Bad at Sports broadcasting from ACRE. MDW Fall Showcase, 2011.

Chicago spaces were broad and overall very good, with Jno Cook’s kinetic sculptures, Brian Kapernekas at the 65GRAND’s space, Sara Mosk’s collages, ACRE’s endlessly crowded booth, Industry of the Ordinary’s Whiskey and Kisses, and many others. Along with fixing earlier issues with ancillary services, such as opening more bathrooms, having more volunteers and event staff, and providing crucial on-site food (via Eric May’s much enjoyed E-Dogz food truck), the fair’s organizers encouraged a healthier, more artist-focused event by requiring only solo or two-artist proposals from exhibitors. This subtle tweak was very effective, giving the MDW Fair a feeling of advocacy rather than exhibition, choices made on salience rather than diversity, expressing taste over marketability.

Overall, the second MDW Fair showed one of the best alternatives to a market-driven art community that I’ve seen, with arbitrary, conflicting, confusing, but universally constructive relationships forced out of interaction. During the Hand in Glove presentation on alternative funding models, speaker Jeff Hnilicka’s demonstration of the human mic caused a dog to bark at the back of the room, and also led an art space on another floor to turn up the bass. The rest of the presentation had to fight bass bounce with volume, by Hnilicka adopting a louder voice and, perhaps incidentally, a more empassioned tone, just to get beyond the bassline. I wasn’t sure which I was nodding along to. Likewise, while hearing Lane Reylea and Martha Wilson describe the importance of artist-run spaces as alternatives to established cultural practices and institutions, and what it means to be an artist when art becomes political and these alternatives become the subject of cultural freedom or frenzy, I was increasingly amazed at the event’s organization.

More than just a fair, MDW is a consciously open and healthy site for developing and strengthening artist networks, making room for artists to exhibit, encourage, improve, and inspire each other, while also taking the bold contextual step of acknowledging that yes, visual art also happens to matter.

NUDASHANK is excited to announce that we will presenting the work of Tracy Thomason and Bettina Yung at the MDW Fair in Chicago from Oct. 21st - Oct. 23rd. The MDW Fair is located at: Geolofts, 3636 S. Iron Street, Chicago 60609.

Formed in spring 2011 as a collaborative project between the Public Media Institute, Roots & Culture and threewalls. The MDW Fair was conceived as a showcase for independent art initiatives, spaces, galleries and artist groups from the Chicago metropolitan area. The initial fair, which took place April 23 & 24th of 2011, drew large crowds and press from ArtSlant, The Chicago Tribune, Bad at Sports and more as Chicagoans gathered for a special focus on the visual arts in their county.

This fall, The MDW Fair presents an exposition of solo and duo exhibitions curated by small not-for-profits, artist-run spaces, emerging galleries, collectives and independent curators.

In conjunction with The MDW Fair, threewalls & Alliance for Independent Arts Organizers will be hosting The Hand in Glove Conference on the first floor of the Geolofts. The Hand in Glove Conference is a new semiannual conference for independent visual arts facilitators working at the crossroads of creative administration and studio practice. This conference is open to people engaged in the pragmatic realities and imaginative possibilities of organizing exhibitions, re-granting programs, publications, residencies, public programs, platforms for projects, and a variety of other programming that challenges traditional formats for the production and reception of art at the grass-roots level.

New Nudashank Shop- Up and Running

2011-08-03T09:35:00.000-07:00

NUDASHANK is excited to announce the launch of its online “NUDASHANK Shop.” The NUDASHANK Shop is a web store that presents affordable works on paper, screenprints, and small paintings by a crossection of local and national emerging artists. At this point the shop features over 50 works by 11 artists. Most of the works fall within the price range of $100-$500. Art can be purchased using the site’s shopping cart feature and payed for via Paypal. We will be updating the site monthly with new works, zines, and prints.

We hope that the shop will be an accessible way for beginning collectors to acquire new, exciting works while at the same time supporting our future programming and the careers of these emerging artists.

Take a look here.

Ted Gahl Heating Up in New York

2011-07-30T06:55:00.001-07:00

Ted Gahl has been killin' it in the studio for awhile now. We found his work through our first juried painting show, Chromatose, back in August 09, then awarded him a two person show with fellow RISD grad Tatiana Berg. He also had work in Color Me Bad and Out of Practice. Recently, Ted has been beginning to receive some much deserved press and exhibitions. His work was included in "Not the Way You Remembered" this past spring at the Queens Museum of Art, curated by Jamillah James. This summer, a large selection of Ted's paintings appeared in "Shakedown," a group show at the Dodge Gallery in the LES. Some great press resulted on Art Net and This Week in New York.

Excerpt from "Lower East Side Summer Shows 2011" on This Week in New York

Coming up in August, Ted will be showing in the project space of the new Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton, NY. Keep an eye on this rising talent.

NY Studio Visits with Meghan Petras and Nick van Woert

2011-06-23T18:07:00.000-07:00

While we were up in NY for Out Of Practice, we got to visit a couple studios, including Meghan Petras and Nick van Woert.

Petras, who works in her home-studio, makes her pieces on un-stretched canvas and stretches the compositions after they're painted. In some, she's cut up and re-sewn the canvas, creating seems and disjointed marks.

Meghan also makes ceramics (above) and rugs, which I did not photograph, but they're awesome!

ART BLOG ART BLOG is extremely pleased to announce the opening of "Out of Practice," curated by NUDASHANK. This show is the second in a series of exhibitions ART BLOG ART BLOG is presenting at a temporary location in Chelsea, NY on the 11th floor of 508 West 26th St. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 3rd from 6-9 p.m. The exhibition runs through Saturday, June 18th. Open hours will be Wednesdays - Saturdays from Noon- 6p.m. and by appointment.

"Out of Practice" draws parallels between work that reflects its own materiality, deconstructs its own creation, and refers directly to the studio environment in which it was created. This meta approach serves as the basis for finding new ways to experiment within the medium of painting- expanding its limits, while drawing from a rich history of influences. In realizing such direct combinations of canvas, wood, paper, and pigment, the works in this exhibition evince a formalist minimalism as vestige of the long hours spent alone in the studio.

NUDASHANK is an artist-run gallery in Baltimore, MD owned and operated by Seth Adelsberger and Alex Ebstein. They have collaboratively curated over 20 exhibitions since the gallery’s inception in March of 2009. This show is their first curatorial effort in NYC.

Radiant Fields is a vibrating, neon collision of compressed and

between cosmic collages and flattened geometric structures.
Extending beyond the frame into site specific installation,
Edmiston, Fendley, and Riddle mix folk art, psychedelia, sci-fi,
and abstraction in the full depth of field.

Jordan Bernier

Nudashank, along with other area artist-run galleries (including Open Space, Current and Gallery Four) were asked to nominate Baltimore-based artists for a series of solo shows at the Baltimore Contemporary Museum. The 3 sets of 4 solo shows, called Baltimore Liste, will be on view throughout the month of May. Congratulations to Jordan Bernier, Caitlin Cunningham (Nudashank nominees) and the other ten artists selected to exhibit!

Caitlin Cunningham

From their press release:

To produce Baltimore Liste, The Contemporary museum has joined forces with seven local galleries (Area 405, Open Space, Current Gallery, Gallery Four, Nudashank, Subbasement Gallery and Jordan Faye Contemporary Art) each gallery nominated three artists. After visiting 21 studios, Sue Spaid has selected twelve artists to have solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Museum during the month of May.

In other words, "Every day is 'May Day' this May."

Catch 'em while you can! This show is short! One Week only!

The first Exhibition is May 11-15

Opening Reception : Friday the 13th from 6:30 to 9:30
