installation by resident artist
Megan Pitcher - - Pitcher is a visual and performance artist who ruptures
social conventions to inspire the physical agency of the viewer. She dedicates
time and space for movement re-education and highlights the subtleties of
resistance and agreement. Her
development process is very inclusive of the communities that she serves and
for that reason, she is excited to share her work-in-progress with you. Come see and interact with a new movement and
media installation building on ideas from a previous work, titled Always There. Pitcher is also interested in visits by
appointment on Friday, August 23th from 6-8pm and Sunday, August 25th from
7-8pm.
Open Studios with
resident artists Maria
Dimanshtein, Megan Ewert, Silvia Lerin, Carrie Lingscheit, Sarah Nesbit and Susanne Nestory.
Carrie Lingscheit’s work exploits the subtleties of intaglio
technique to explore the malleable nature of memory formation and recall,
creating dubious narratives characterized by omission, distortion, and
hyperbole. Her work has been included in
numerous national and international exhibitions and in dozens of invitational
exchange portfolios. Recent exhibitions include the 2nd International Mezzotint
Festival in Ekaterinburg, Russia; and Fusion - International Contemporary
Intaglio Print Exhibition in Guanlan, China. Lingscheit holds a BFA from The
University of South Dakota (2006,) and MFA from Ohio University (2010.) She currently lives in Chicago.
