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.
