SUMMARY:The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross
DESCRIPTION:UIMA invites you to hear Haydn’s  The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross which he wrote in 1786 in response to a commission from the bishop of Spain’s Cadiz Cathedral. The bishop requested music to accompany the cathedral’s Good Friday service that year. In addition to introductory and concluding sections\, Haydn wrote a movement for each of Jesus’ last sayings or utterances during the crucifixion. \nThe work has nine movements sometimes referred to as “sonatas” or “meditations”: seven Adagios\, each based on Christ’s last utterances\, framed by an Introduction and a dramatic conclusion in Il terremoto (The Earthquake). Each one is in a different key and remarkably varied.  Haydn’s work will be performed by the Village Strings at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Cathedral on Wednesday\, April 5\, 2023 at 7 pm .

SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Loss: for G
DESCRIPTION:Anders Zanichkowsky is an artist\, weaver\, and the owner of Burial Blankets. Part of the group show “Aesthetics of Loss” (February 18 – April 16) “for G” is a memorial for their first love\, made of handwoven cloth and an audio piece created from cell phone recordings addressing him in death as a way to mourn. The live performance is a chance to experience the work in an intimate gathering that may feel like a cross between a wake and a late-night phone conversation. At turns affectionate\, philosophical\, and raw with grief\, the audio piece circles around themes of romance and youth; the magic of cinema\, art\, and memory; and the vulnerability of queer people to untimely death. \nThe gallery opens for seating at 6:30 and the performance begins promptly at 6:45\, running approximately one hour. Afterwards there will be a reception with the artist in the East gallery. During regular hours\, visitors to the museum can sit with the cloth and listen to the audio piece over their headphones. \n\n\n\n\n RSVP \n\n\n\n\nAccessibility and COVID Precautions: \nUIMA has a wheelchair accessible entrance and mens and womens bathrooms. Proof of vaccination is required and masks must be worn during the performance. There will be armless chairs for all who want them and a section designated for social distancing at 6 feet apart. Light refreshments will be served during the reception and masks will become optional for people eating or drinking. This work is in English with no visual captions or transcript and makes references to IV drug use\, mental illness\, early death\, and suicide. If you have any other questions about attending\, please contact the museum staff.

SUMMARY:Aesthetics of Loss Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:AESTHETICS OF LOSS is a collection of work by seven artists who have experienced loss of family members recently. Their studios became places for grieving and understanding the sudden vacuum of losing loved ones either suddenly or over a long period of illness. Caregiving\, memory\, helplessness\, loss and the ultimate mystery of death are explored through painting\, print- making\, fibers\, ceramics\, photography\, installation and video. Some artists utilize objects and clothing left behind by their loved ones and transform them into artworks and some use ritual and natural materials as memorial or commemorative actions of grieving and coming to terms.

SUMMARY:UIMA Annual Fundraising Gala: Ukraine\, My Love

How are they different?

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: At Home
DESCRIPTION:At Home: Cindy Bernhard\, Ellen Greene\, Ann Toebbe\, Gwendolyn Zabicki\nOCTOBER 8- DECEMEBR 4\, 2022\nThis exhibition presents works by four Chicago artists with a focus on paintings. As the exhibition title suggests\, the show’s premise is about the artist’s exploration of the layered emotional resonance of the concept of home. We have been living in a pandemic when most people have spent an unusually long time in their homes.Conversely\, around the world\, refugees have been forced to leave their homes\, some with the hope of returning and others seeking a new life and home. We are asking the question; what does home mean? Is it a familiarity with the environment\, or is home just an abstract place in our minds?\nIn the atmospheric paintings of Cindy Bernhard\, we can see imaginary interiors with pop culture elements\, food\, and motifs from lifestyle blogs. In her works\, she humorously critiques the nature of artifice and creates a vision of home as she wants to remember it. There are always pets\, a small dog or cat\, to add to the domesticity of the image.\nEllen Greene is looking back at domesticity and motherhood and the time when children are starting to assert their independence and leaving home years later. Some of her oil paintings depict the artist and her daughters. In others\, figures are absent; what remains is a respectable floral wall-papered pattern interrupted with childhood vandalism.\nAnn Toebbe’s paintings are reminiscent of architectural or design drawings\, but she fills them with personal objects worth a closer look. In these obsessively crafted paintings\, we see representations of the resident’s individuality and aesthetic choices. In each work\, furniture selections\, plants\, carpets\, knick-knacks\, and items are left around\, representing a home that cannot be replicated even if one wants to. These unfolded rooms are based on living spaces of the artist’s family\, friends\, and acquaintances\, recreated from memories or photographs.\nIn the works of Gwendolyn Zabicki\, intimate images of everyday life are quietly captured; brushing teeth\, drying hair\, or sleeping. These simple rituals happen every day\, unobserved or remembered. These events can only occur in the comfort and privacy of our homes.\nThe exhibition is curated by Stano Grezdo and Linda Dorman.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Owen HcHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Owen McHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection\nSaturday\, October 8 – Sunday\, December 4\, 2022\nOpening Reception: October 8 12:00-4:00 pm\nThe Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is delighted to announce Owen McHugh and Abstraction in the Permanent Collection. This exhibition highlights abstract\, non-representational works in UIMA’s Permanent Collection alongside Owen McHugh’s most recent works from 2017 to the present. Artists exhibiting from the Permanent Collection include Corey Postiglione\, Kathie Shaw\, John Hoyland\, Alexander Hunenko\, Martin Hurtig\, Lida Petruniak-Colucci\, Michael Mandziuk\, Irma Osadsa\, William Pura\, and David Samila.\nOwen McHugh is a local Chicago Artist deeply rooted in Abstraction throughout his career. He maintained his M.F.A from Northern Illinois University\, and he taught Two-Dimensional Design as well as painting and drawing courses at Columbia College Chicago for over forty years. His work is in many permanent collections including the National Museum of American Art\, State of Illinois Collection\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL.\nWhile many abstract artists gravitate to working within one stylistic approach in abstraction\, geometric or gestural\, McHugh attempts to bridge the two together. This ambiguous configuration of conflict\, becomes a metaphor of existence for McHugh. In his most recent years\, McHugh developed his own personal process in which he began an arrangement of organic forms that then underwent a transfiguration through repeated overlays and spattering\, modifying coloration and organic shapes in his beginning formations.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Wanting it Both Ways
DESCRIPTION:The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is delighted to announce a new group exhibition titled Wanting it Both Ways\, featuring mixed media works by Bill Conger\, Tanya Hastings Gill\, Mie Kongo\, and Jennifer Mannebach. \nBefore it became synonymous with a defect or shortcoming\, the etymology of the word “flaw” related to a fragment\, splinter\, or piece of something\, and was closely associated with the idea  of a stray ember.  A fragment or “flaw” as a spark\, a glowing ember\, is an incendiary condition  quite different from the more typical notion of a fragment as a leftover or remnant. \nThese insistent fragments may preserve a fleeting moment or memory; something that is not embalmed in time but is a flickering touchstone to revisit and find more–more permutations\, more iterations\, and more potentialities. These artists contend with the desire to capture a sense of the fugitive\, often  manifesting in fragmented forms that speak to the interdependence of things. They are acutely  aware of how small altercations can shift things substantially\, looking at the interplay of material  identities\, as well as the relationship between the maker and the materials. \nThis practice of working with forms and ideas can result in work that can feel like a temporary  capture— revealing the desire to have it both ways\, to hold still for a moment in time\, just long  enough to see what gathers at the edges before releasing it into another recombinant state. \n  \nExhibition runs through June 4

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Operation Payback
DESCRIPTION:What We Didn’t Know Then\, What We Know Now\nProf. Luciuk is a renowned scholar in the field of Ukrainian studies specializing in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States. He is a full professor of political geography at the Royal Military College of Canada.\n\nProf. Luciuk will discuss a book\, titled “Operation Payback: Soviet Disinformation and Alleged Nazi War Criminals in North America.” The book is a compilation of approximately 40 commentaries written by Prof. Luciuk in the past four decades\, along with documentation related to the topic of how Jewish and Ukrainian communities in the United States and Canada were manipulated with disinformation and set against each other since the 1960s in an overt plan to set both communities against each other.\n\nThe key document of the book is the translation of the KGB memorandum written in October 1985 that outlines Operation Payback (Retribution)\, which confirms that the KGB had several directorates created to advance Jewish demands that Nazi war criminals be brought to justice by alleging that many of these war collaborators were living among Ukrainian emigres. These allegations were repeated so often that they were presumed to be true.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: "Naturally"
DESCRIPTION:The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art is delighted to announce Naturally opening on February 5th\, 2022 featuring works by Judith Roston Freilich and Lilach Schrag who have come together for their first joint exhibition.\nFascinated by forces of nature and mind\, Judith Roston Freilich and Lilach Schrag examine\, each in her own way\, essence\, energy\, and evolution. Judith Roston Freilich’s works on paper and textiles were inspired by her aspirations to integrate the arts into everyday life. Throughout her life\, Roston Freilich’s home and works have always centered around the cycles of life and the natural offerings of every season. The vital consequences of climate change and the COVID-19 virus have impacted the artist’s work\, and aspires that her artistic creation will act as a springboard for awareness towards scientific ways that aim to heal our planet. With images and materials drawn from both her natural and domestic environment\, Lilach Schrag uses organic found objects\, fabric\, paper\, enamel\, and acrylic paints\, charcoal\, graphite\, threads\, pins\, and staples in making large-scale energy-packed paintings with epic figures and creatures transforming into each other and into vegetation. Layered\, camouflaged\, and not immediately identified\, they convey a sense of awe\, urgency\, determination\, and vulnerability. The natural materials rich with texture\, meaning\, and previous life sends Schrag on a fantastic flight\, and at the same time keeping her grounded in this physical world.\nArtist Biographies:\nJudith Roston Freilich earned a BFA and merit-based scholarship award from Washington University in St. Louis. While working at Landfall Press as a printing assistant and curator\, she earned a graduate degree in printmaking with Misch Kohn from the Illinois Institute of Technology. She has exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been selected for the Rockford Midwestern Biennial at the Rockford Art Museum\, the Evanston and Vicinity Biennial at the Evanston Art Center\, the Bradley International Print and Drawing Show. Her work is in multiple permanent collections including the Library of Congress.\nLilach Schrag graduated from Hamidrasha Art School in Israel\, and holds a Master of Arts from Spertus Institute\, Chicago. Her work has been featured in publications such as the Chicago Tribune\, and The Jerusalem Post\, and she has exhibited in solo and group shows in the United States and in Israel including: Spertus Institute\, Governors State University\, 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago as well as the Janco Dada Museum and the Jerusalem Biennale in Israel.
