The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Visiting Artists Program

AMY FRANCESCHINI Thursday, March 11, 6pm SAIC Columbus Auditorium, 280 S. Columbus Dr.

Amy Franceschini is a pollinator who creates formats for exchange and production that question and challenge the social, cultural, and environmental systems that surround her. An overarching theme in her work is a perceived conflict between humans and nature. Her projects reveal the ways that local politics are affected by globalization. In 1995 Franceschini founded Futurefarmers, an international collective of artists. In 2004 Franceschini co-founded Free Soil, an international collective of artists, activists, researchers, and gardeners who work together to propose alternatives to the social, political, and environmental organization of space.

At ARTexhibitionLink Gallery UNO opens Seung Yun Shin's Solo Show 'No End' Seung Yun Shin's kinetic installation consists of small square mirrors arranged onto a panel on the floor reflecting light sources from the ceiling and the walls of the gallery. 'I built up a motorized system to put the mirrors in close proximity.Each mirror is moved up and down by motors, in a seesaw-like pattern. The movement of mirrors has varying speeds. In terms of the imagery that is produced, the mirrors and their movement reflect in variety of angles. The motion of face of the piece presents landscape of water. All around walls and ceiling are flood with reflection from mirrors like waterfall.' Seung Yun Shin.The gallery space is transformed into a magical landscape of sublime pure beauty. During: March 2010 Opening Reception: Friday, March 12th 5 -9 pm Gallery hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 4.30 - 7.30 and by appointment
