11:30 am Roman Villareal (Spirit of the Marsh) Born in The Bush neighborhood of Chicago in 1950, Villarreal is a self-taught artist with a decades-long body of work including sculpture, painting and assemblage. He demonstrated a strong interest in art from a young age, playing with putty and clay as a child. His mother recognized his talent and described him as a “shaper”—a nod to his future career as an established sculptor. Roman’s work reflects his lived experiences—from personal tragedies to joyful moments with family—and those of his community—the struggles and triumphs that followed the fall of the steel mill industry.
12:30 pm Vivian Visser (Bubbling Up) Vivian Visser has been creating sculptural works that explore our spiritual relationship with Nature since the early ‘90’s. She attempts to share her ideas about our need to create a better relationship with Nature as a way to find peace within ourselves and each other. In addition to the Bubbling Up installation at Big Marsh Park, Visser’s works include a commission of interpretive public art work for the Openlands Lakeshore Preserve, an environmental sculpture for the Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival in Taiwan and three trees for the Chicago Tree Project.
1:30 pm Peter Krsko (Tree House) Peter Krsko listens to nature and creates objects and experiences to share his observations. His approach combines science and art; participatory, interactive and community arts; and play with hands-on education. Krsko also creates collaborative and community public art, such as sculptures and murals, inspired by biological concepts of diversity, differentiation, participation and co-ownership. His sculptural installations mimic the structure and form of natural entities as well as the dynamics and laws of interactions among members of the ecosystems.

This exhibition takes interest in the parts that make up the whole and how a single element can impact the world at large. Much like a single choice in material or form can change an entire piece, each work in a collective can change and impact the whole by proximity.

The works chosen for this exhibition will have a strong sense of material choice and presence that is both able to stand on its own while also engaging with its environment and the works around it in a way that fundamentally changes the experience of the space.

If selected for the exhibition, artists must be a current CSI member or sign-up for membership. An artist statement will be required for the accepted piece.

Color/Form

Chicago Sculpture International Juried Exhibition at the College of Lake County

June 22-August 9, 2023

Opening Reception: Thursday, June 22, 5-7 pm

“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” — Wassily Kandinsky

Sculptors were invited to enter up to two works in the Chicago Sculpture International Juried Exhibition at the Robert T. Wright Community Gallery of Art at the College of Lake County in Grayslake, IL. The exhibition will be juried and curated by Wright Gallery’s curator, Ann Rintz.

No other element impacts aesthetics so directly and urgently as color. Artists who combine color with structure understand the boundless and captivating energy of this synthesis. Using color to evoke a mood is essential in their practice and message. Color/Form’s purpose is to compile creations that celebrate color and form interpreted in three dimensions.

Gallery Hours*
Monday to Thursday: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Friday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Closed Sundays

CSI Project Space | 1912 N. Damen Ave.

Exhibition Hours: Fridays-Saturdays, 1-6pm and by appointment.
For uestions about the gallery or exhibits: csiprojectspace@chicagosculpture.org

In conjunction with the Chicago Park District (CPD), Evanston Arts Council, North River Commission, and Marquette Park, IN, Sculpture in the Parks (SITP) is a leased program of large scale sculptures in different parks throughout the Chicagoland area organized by Chicago Sculpture International (CSI.) Works are site-contextualized to harmonize with the aesthetic of the particular park. Most of the sculptures are placed in front of park field houses, many of which are architecturally significant and have landmark status. These are designated as "cultural centers," which offer cultural and environmental programs for youth, adults, and seniors. The sculptures are changed out every other year in October. The CPD has more than 600 parks and a total of over 8,800 acres of green space, making it the largest municipal park manager in the country.

CSI also collaborates with the Chicago Park District to organize the Chicago Tree Project (CTP), which transforms dead trees into public art that are infested with Emerald Ash Borer or other diseases. The CTP uses art as vehicle for community engagement throughout Chicago parks and creates unique opportunities for citizens to celebrate the beauty of nature.
Each CTP artist aims to create an impact on the neighborhood and park visitors.

This exhibit Sculptura In Urbs In Horto celebrates this important collaboration between our parks and our organization. Maquettes from exhibiting sculptors are also offered for sale here in our gallery.

Exhibiting sculptors: Terry Karpowicz, Janet Austin, Emily Moorehead-Wallace, Andrew Arvanetes, Nicole Beck, Paul Russell, Brian Monaghan, Ruth Aizuss Migdal, Ted Sitting Crow Garner, Berthold Boone, Indira Freitas Johnson, Kara James & John Bannon.
In memorium: Ron Gard and Dora Natella

ALIVE

What does it mean to be alive and a part of Nature?

All animal and vegetable tissues are made up of a complex collection of cells
endlessly at work generating energy for life. In this sense, there is no life without action.
All these little parts and drops of goodness ignite the living in our world illuminated
by the energy of the sun.

We are not mere observers taking measurements and making plans. We are a
structured and complex stimulus being, emerged within the patterns and cycles of Nature. These connections and patterns along with their cycles are expressed as a whole through the living. This experience of life, however interconnected and reliant upon parts both big and small, is inevitably singularly perceived.

Often an artist’s most groundbreaking work comes from being immersed in a culture of study and intellectual pursuit. Chicago, home to some of the most globally revered academic arts institutions, could be considered a sort of proving ground for tomorrow’s most promising contemporary emerging artists.

Chicago Sculpture International (CSI) is calling for artists who are enrolled in, or recently (2022 or later) graduated from a degree-seeking program to submit works of sculpture, installation and media work to be featured in the second annual juried group exhibition By Degrees, scheduled for August 5 - September 16, 2023 at CSI Project Space in Chicago.

Artists will be able to submit up to 3 works for consideration. There is no fee for entry. Accepted artists will be granted a one year non-transferrable student membership to CSI.

This call is not limited to students and graduates of Chicago-area institutions, but accepted artists will be required to gallery sit for at least two 3-hour shifts (or a single 5-hour shift) during the run of the exhibition.

SAVE THE DATE: August 19th, 2023

Chicago Sculpture International Membership Picnic at The Chicago Riverfront (with a rain date of August 20th). More details to follow . . .

Membership would like to mention CSI’s Outreach Chair Shencheng Xu, who will be traveling in China in June to share his sculpture there.

He received an invitation letter for the 2023 Chengdu International Sister Cities Sculpture Creativity Activity. He was invited to a participate in a 6-day sculpture creation workshop with the theme of "Friendship" in Chengdu from June 11 - 16. As a member of CSI, he would like to use this opportunity to gain a better understanding with local organizers and artists, while introducing Chicago Sculpture International to them. We hope to have artistic exchanges and cooperation in the future.

Show and Tell

If you'd like to send a picture of your studio to membership (karajohnson@chicagosculpture.org) and a three-sentence explanation of what is seen in the shot, membership is working on a collection of images to show how our sculptors work, organize, and create in 2023.

Land Acknowledgment

To provide immediate assistance to Native American communities in Chicago, you can send donations to the city’s American Indian Center.

The City of Chicago, and its surrounding areas, have always been, and always will be, home to numerous Native American communities. As a team dedicated to the uplifting of Indigenous People’s sovereignty everywhere, we recognize that each program and exhibition associated with this project is taking place on the traditional homelands of the Council of Three Fires—the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa—as well as the Menominee, Miami, and Ho-Chunk Nations. Further, we acknowledge that Chicago is home to one of the largest urban Native American communities in the US.

Land acknowledgments are not rhetorical gestures, but rather calls to action. We therefore invite each of our non-Indigenous colleagues to learn more about the forced removal of many of the communities listed above from the state of Illinois and to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into their line of work. We also encourage everyone to ask themselves how they may benefit from the continuation of settler colonialism, militarism, and warfare. Confronting these realities allows us to break down our privileges and adopt anti-colonial practices that can one day help us in creating a more equitable society.

We are thinking about celebrating CSI’s 20 year anniversary in a special way. If you have connections to publishers or have an interest in creating a catalog or online collection to commemorate this event, please reach out to Berthold Boone or myself. Thanks!

Note: The following are not CSI sponsored calls but may be of interest to our members.

A monument design contest to commemorate honor, remembrance, and resilience
Submissions must be received by August 31 at midnight.
The winning artist will receive a cash prize of $20,000.

On this day, millions have died from COVID-19 and its variants, or have been infected. For those who have perished, for those who have lost a loved-one, for those who have recovered, and for those who courageously and selflessly served during the darkest and most uncertain days of the pandemic, we announce a competition to design a COVID-19 Monument of Honor, Remembrance, & Resilience sponsored by the Hektoen Institute of Medicine.
This Monument will be a physical sculpture or art installation that addresses and symbolizes the myriad issues and emotions encountered by citizens throughout the world as they navigate this powerful scourge and tragedy of our time. No other event in the past two centuries touched everyone as did the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether by death, illness, grief, or at best, lock-down, the pandemic left no one unscathed. This universal event respected no boundaries and did not discriminate by age, gender, religion, or nationality. As this pandemic excluded no one, our Monument is unequivocally inclusive and will embrace the sentiments of all citizens throughout the world.

Our hope is that we will conquer this virus, and the pandemic will be history—a distant memory. But lest we forget, it is critical that we come together to reflect, and to honor those who continue to fight on the front lines, those brave souls who ensured our survival. They are the nurses, doctors, health care workers, the public service sector employees, airline and banking personnel, those who rang up our groceries and medicines, delivered our packages, prepared our to-go meals, drove our buses, and many more. They all encountered significant risks dealing with an unknown illness. The Monument will honor these individuals and allow those who lost loved ones to mourn and know they are not alone. The monument design contest will bring forth ideas to educate and enlighten with the wisdom and experience we have shared.

Additionally, the Monument will celebrate resilience and victory. The discovery and distribution of the vaccine, engendered by multiple agencies, effectively saved millions of lives. This triumph of science in the COVID-19 vaccine and concomitant testing advances must be lauded and serve as a reminder of hope in the face of intense adversity and obstacles.
