<span id="goog_258648249"></span><span id="goog_258648250"></span>Clutch Gallery is pleased to present "Canyon Flow" by <span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><a href="http://studiogang.com/">Studio Gang</a></u></span>, in collaboration with <a href="https://chidm.com/">Chicago Design Museum</a>.

<br />
The dynamic qualities of nature, and the striking forms shaped by natural processes, are an endless source of inspiration for our architecture. From the "vertical topography" of our Aqua Tower in Chicago, with its undulated balconies, to the dramatic, canyon-like spaces of our Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, we are interested in how design can learn from nature to bring people together for meaningful shared experience. The liquid material of concrete often provides the perfect medium for this kind of architectural innovation. Canyon Flow embraces both the physical power of nature's forces and the wonder they inspire, as well as embodying the immersive currents of the creative flow we seek. —Jeanne Gang, Studio Gang<br />

(<a href="http://wgnradio.com/2017/05/16/busy-beaver-button-co-and-chicago-design-museum-on-pins-and-needles-and-the-power-of-the-promotional-button/">Listen to the podcast here</a>. Clutch is discussed at 10:40.)<br />
<br />
Dave Hoekstra visits with Christen Carter, owner of the Busy Beaver Button Company and Tanner Woodford, executive director of the Chicago Design Museum at Block 37, who have collaborated on a small-scale exhibit at the Museum called “On Pins and Needles”. The so-called clutch gallery is a 25-sq. inch display of political buttons significant to historical women’s political movements, all in a vintage wooden clutch purse. Carter also talks about getting into button-making through the grassroots punk music scene, and Busy Beaver’s big time clients and archive of historical buttons; Woodford discusses the rich heritage of Chicago’s visual artists and advertising firms, and more.</div>

Also sitting in as the resident co-host and musician for the hour is Chicago guitarist and Matchbox barman Graham Courter.<br />

Clutch Gallery inhaled deeply and released one long, austere note, reveling in its reverberations and neatly composed, tiny harmonies. Eventually, this breath will run out and Clutch will taper to its limit. This impending moment of death thrills artists Breitbart and Gruszczynski, yet the pristine, privileged wait is surely too difficult for them to bear. A decision was made to exhaust the little gallery in violent, erratic melody. The artists will ACCELERATE the lifespan of Clutch by using its space in every conceivable way for one month, imposing upon it a different challenge in curation EVERY DAY. We will saturate its content with FERTILIZER and OIL, building tempo and crescendo to the end. Clutch was the world, and we is the Sun. Who can overcome the spoiled one?<br />
<br />
Jack Gruszczynski is a Chicago-based artist who received his BFA in Fine Arts from Columbia College Chicago. His work is mainly performative and employs relationship as medium.<br />

Logan Breitbart is a Chicago-based artist. He is a member of Poems While You Wait, Runaways Theater Lab, and teaches GED courses in Cook County Jail.</div>Society of Smallnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07589132536011962350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659381750720094681.post-13731067169823613052015-01-16T23:17:00.000-08:002017-03-25T09:33:24.420-07:00Unstuck Time: A Small Stage for Wandering Minds by Leslie BaumJanuary 16 - February 15, 2015<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">In 2003 I visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The temples and stone sculptures possessed a staggering beauty and scale, but it was the small arrangements of stone rubble at every site that really struck me. I speculated. Perhaps these still-life-like groupings and stone stacks were the work of bored tourists, of wandering minds and wandering hands? A few years later, I encountered something similar in New Mexico: arrangements of pottery shards on the dry earth of Pueblo archeological sites.</span><br />

Time unsticks in these moments. The ancient slips into the now. The piles, cairns, and mosaic-like images pulsate with intimacy and evidence a deep urge to play and to delight in touch, shape, form, pattern and texture.<br />
<br />
Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect.<br />
<br />

I believe it encompasses these ever-so-casual tableaus placed by anonymous hands. The arrangements, easily abandoned, are gestures of impermanence. The stones, shards, and rubble are ever-ready to become something else for someone else, without incident.<br />
<br />
Snow covers the ground. Lake Michigan is cluttered with ice. The sun–soaked sand and stones persist. They are here in Clutch. Take a moment and unspool time. Play without purpose.<br />

Maps are often thought of as tangible guides to territories—concrete or abstract, philosophical or scientific, political or imaginary—but they also bring new landscapes into being. They are the physical embodiments of a set of decisions and protocols, blueprints for the act of walking, traversing the land, and a way of being. Contemporary artists, whose artistic practice incorporates walking, understand this. Their works explore a range of questions from the arbitrary nature of national boundaries to the privatization of public space, while they present new maps for bringing new social communities into being.<br />
<br />
Terra/Form: Cultivating A Community offers one such possibility. Terra/Form is a group show in which artists have come together to create a metaphorical garden, a microcosm of a community they wish to see made visible in the world. On view at Clutch Gallery, Terra/Form provides an intensely personal viewing experience while also activating public conversation. As the gallery itself moves with its caretaker, each step taken during the scheduled exhibition materializes the thinking and the performance of a journey. Walking becomes an aesthetic experience and a community-building dialogue.<br />
<br />
Just as walking symbolically reclaims land or space, so does planting and tending a garden. The artists at Clutch Gallery present a viewing experience that enacts a kind of cultural planting of seeds and setting down of roots, a simple gesture that encourages reconnecting with the earth, and with the community of other viewers and gardeners, a mobile act that conjures the preciousness of running one's fingers through the earth itself.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"When you give yourself to places, they give you yourself back; the more one comes to know them, the more one seeds them with the invisible crop of memories and associations that will be waiting for you when you come back, while new places offer up new thoughts, new possibilities." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Rebecca Solnit, <i>Wanderlust: A History of Walking</i></blockquote>
<i>Terra/Form is an exhibition organized and curated by students enrolled in Rhoda Rosen's Contemporary Cartography course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In this course, students read, write, present and walk the city exploring both object-based and more ephemeral artistic mapmaking practices while calling into question the scientific and art historical languages by which mapmaking is framed.</i><br />

Nuts is the ongoing project of Scott Wolniak,
which he considers to be an unlimited edition.
With labor-intensive care, the artist crafts painted plaster replicas of
common shelled nuts. Based on a joke
about value in art, coupled with the surrealist notion that all things can
transform in the mind's eye, Wolniak takes great
care to produce accurate renderings of these rather dumb models. The pieces can function in a variety of
contexts, including art galleries, domestic spaces, or here, in this box! For Clutch, the plaster nuts have been
mounted like bobble-heads, onto small springs.
The nuts are looked down upon, and seem to be quivering or in
orbit with one-another. Clutch has also
been equipped with a bamboo floor as an additional piece of this installation.<br />

Scott Wolniak is a multidisciplinary studio artist based in
Chicago. His work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art in America, Chicago
Reader, New City, and the Houston Chronicle, among others and is included in
the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Joan Flasch Book Art
Collection at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and many private
collections. He is a Lecturer in the
Department of Visual Art at the University of Chicago.<br />

Part II of Captain Morely Miniscule's adventures as Clutch's docent. <br />
<br />
Located on 2010 West Carroll Ave. in Chicago, <a href="http://artsoflife.org/" target="_blank">The Arts ofLife</a> is a charismatic band of artists who perform music, write poetry and
create art. The Arts of Life is committed to providing quality, innovative
services for artists with developmental disabilities. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Clutch and Captain Morley Miniscule visited The Arts of Life
on May 22nd for a viewing of Erin Washington's <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Untitled (Aerophyte)</i>. Captain Miniscule spoke to resident artist
"Chris" who said the current installation reminded him of sea creatures.
"Like sea foam under the water," he elaborated. Another artist,
"Pablo," wanted to know more about the reason the gallery was so
small. He told Captain Miniscule that he liked going to the Art Institute, but
hadn't been in a while. He thought it was great that Clutch could come to his
studio for a visit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

Curriculum Fair on Thursday, May 15th. Clutched by <a href="http://societyofsmallness.com/" target="_blank">Society of Smallness</a>’s
representative and docent Captain Morely Miniscule, the exhibit <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Untitled (Aerophyte)</i> by Erin Washington
cross-pollinated with teachers to produce an intoxicating infusion of
creativity and instruction. The Curriculum Fair showcased juried lesson plans featuring
visual art to teach across the curriculum. Erin's work was received with great
enthusiasm and elicited a host of reactions: "As a child, I always loved
either small things or exaggeratedly large things," said one visitor.
Captain Miniscule kept his lips "pursed" when pressed for details
about the nature (pun very intended!) of the exhibit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clutch curator—as well as strategist for the fair—Georgina
Valverde, later shared with Captain Miniscule that the installation was partly
inspired by Walter De Maria s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.diaart.org/sites/page/52/1365" target="_blank">New York EarthRoom</a>.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was Captain Minuscule’s first outing as Clutch’s
docent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though he was self aware
that the 25-inch wooden purse was smart and made him look good, he understood
the mission: managing one of the smallest traveling host environments for
curated artwork. Captain Miniscule encountered a few challenges with sight
angles and distance lengths as he adjusted to meet individual patrons’ viewing
needs. The appropriate context for viewing art is an age-old question: Behind
ropes and protected by guards to keep viewers at arm’s length? Or close enough
to allow them to touch and potentially make off with the work? In its youthful,
bounding exuberance, Clutch makes an active case (again, pun very well
intended) for the latter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The intimacy of the experience invited open dialogue about
Erin's perspectives on art and nature. Many teachers mused on the relationship
between the gold Mylar environment and the air plants they suspected could not
survive without dirt to support them. Other patrons were familiar with these
dirt-less creatures and expanded on their understanding of the nature of this
plant. (Coincidentally, Clutch made its debut at the fair a year ago with an exhibition by
Rachel Harper that also featured live plants!). </div>

Erin transforms the interior of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clutch into a glowing environment filled with tillandsias,
also known as aerophytes or air plants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The gallery walls are covered with metallic gold Mylar, a material long
associated with the space age and DIY survival tactics. Four different
aerophytes are nestled in this luminous environment. The figurative symbiosis
between “space blankets” and air plants manifests Erin’s ongoing preoccupation
with temporality, flux, and ephemera.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Erin has
adopted Mylar into her lexicon of materials as a phenomenological symbol for
the sublime. In an earlier project, <i><a href="http://erinwashington.com/artwork/3389142_Don_t_Breathe_Too_Much_at_Kirk_s.html" target="_blank">Don't Breathe Too Much</a></i>, she lined an entire room with Mylar,
forcing its residents to “live on gold” for a month. In this installation the
tillandsias, which literally live on air, are extended the same golden
nourishment, foregrounding their meaning as stand ins for vibrant, evolving
artworks struggling to flourish—even survive—within the institutional
discourse. <o:p></o:p></div>

pounds of soil that must be watered and raked daily since 1977—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Untitled (aerophyte)</i> raises questions
about the viability of ephemeral works of art. How can they be sustained and
nurtured in their transplanted state, so alienated from their genesis? In the
not too distant future, will astronauts farm in the void?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Erin Washington embraces materiality and labor to examine
themes of vulnerability and permanence. Questioning how time structures
transitions in ephemera, she creates mixed media paintings, drawings, and
sculptures, which unravel time through the performance of their making, and
their subsequent degradation. Erin employs fugitive and symbolic materials such
as chalk, blackberries, lemon juice, fire, ashes, moss, sugar, bone and saliva.
Colors fade or pigments are burned: and the resulting objects emulate the
cycles they describe. Her actions and products are in a constant state of flux,
highlighting the disharmony between meaning, beauty, and a fundamentally messy
universe. However, the temporality of the work’s making counters ambivalence;
the immediate process and presentness<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the work demands eclipses uncertainty…for the moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clutch Gallery is pleased to present <i>Detritus, </i>an interactive installation by Krissy Wilson that invites viewers to compose poetry using bits of found language on fragments
of porcelain, pottery, and glass collected from tidal shorelines. An ongoing project, <i>Detritus</i> has manifested as cento—<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">poems written from excerpts of existing texts—</span>and live performances with a document camera. <br /><br />For her show at Clutch
Gallery, Wilson will ask gallery visitors to compose and document their own poems using shards collected from Dead Horse Bay, Brooklyn, New York. <br /><br />You can read an interview about <i>Detritus</i> on <a href="http://www.varsity.co.uk/culture/5251" target="_blank">Varsity magazine</a>. Wilson also maintains a process blog at <i><a href="http://poemsfromthethames.tumblr.com/">poemsfromthethames.tumblr.com</a></i>. Wilson has received grants to execute <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Detritus</i> at Dead Horse Bay and Fort Bragg, California. She hopes to perform an iteration
of this project on the foreshore of the River Thames in London this summer.<o:p></o:p><br /><br />Krissy Wilson is a writer
and artist based in Chicago, IL. She is pursuing an MFA in Writing at the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago and she holds a BA in English from the
University of Florida. She works at SAIC as a teaching assistant, writing
fellow, and Special Collections Assistant in the <a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/jfabc" target="_blank">Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection</a>. Her interdisciplinary practice is characterized by constraint-based

Clutch Gallery is pleased to present 41.8757° 87.6244°, a group show curated by students in Professor Rhoda Rosen’s Contemporary Cartography course at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. 41.8757° 87.6244° identify the historic Michigan Boulevard district in the Chicago Loop area where the School is located.<br />
<br />
41.8757° 87.6244° rethinks the idea of the dérive,
otherwise known as “drift;” an intuitive movement through space based on a
reading of interior and exterior cues; a wandering through space.<br />

41.8757° 87.6244° is a card file filled with typewritten
and handwritten texts on 3”x5” index cards. Each text is an instruction, a
prompt to follow. Each prescribes <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a way to interact with the environment, a quest, described in
concrete or abstract terms. 41.8757° 87.6244° provides cues for new methods of
transit through spaces that are both familiar and unfamiliar.</div>

It’s not everyday that you open your jewelry box filled
with shoulder-length earrings from the 80s and find yourself in a temple of
high culture. For her Clutch installation Laura Davis presents an art gallery
of Modernist sculptures made from custom jewelry. A convex mirror on the back
wall creates a scale shift that incorporates the viewer harmoniously into the
exhibition space. </div>

Laura Davis (b. 1971, Holland, Michigan) is a Chicago based
artist working in sculpture, drawing and installation. Originally trained
in enameling and metalsmithing, Davis is interested in the decorative arts as a
subject. Her work examines the intersection of craft, design and art by using
display structures and context to disrupt notions of value. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laura Davis’ most recent exhibitions include the Museum of
Contemporary Art, Chicago, threewalls, Chicago; Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago;
Gallery 400, Chicago; SPACES, Cleveland; The Dairy Center for the Arts,
Boulder, CO; and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art, Grand Rapids, MI.
Davis holds an MFA from the University of Chicago and a BFA from the Cleveland
Institute of Art. She teaches in the Department of Contemporary Practices at
the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.</div>

August 12 - September 8, 2013<br />
<br />
As a young immigrant from Mexico, Marcos Raya remembers
being most shocked by the oppressive way in which Americans lived their lives
by the clock. No one escaped the regimentation of time, especially his mother
who worked day in and day out in a factory. Early on in his career, he took
apart a wristwatch and put the loose pieces back inside, a gesture that
announced his refusal to live by the strictures of conventional time. Provoked
by the small dimensions of Clutch Gallery, Raya revisits the moment that
signaled his intent to become an artist and invites us to consider the
existential necessity of becoming the masters of our own time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marcos Raya was born in Irapuato, Mexico and immigrated to
the United States in the 1960s. He attended the progressive Windsor Mountain
Preparatory School in Lennox Massachusetts where he studied drawing and
painting. In 1968 he returned to Mexico to avoid the draft. There, he studied at
the San Carlos Academy and came of age politically by taking part in the
student movement. He returned to Chicago and found a home in the Pilsen
neighborhood where he established himself as an independent artist painting
murals, mentoring young artists, and developing a prolific studio practice.
Marcos Raya’s work has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally. His most
recent work will be shown in London at the Pertwee, Anderson and Gold Gallery in September.</div>
