SUMMARY:Fotos y Recuerdos
DESCRIPTION:Salvador Dominguez\nOn Display: September 2nd – October 17th\nReception: Friday\, October 10th\, 6:00-8:00PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 10th\, 7:00PM \nSalvador Dominguez was born in 1985 in Zacatecas\, Mexico\, and grew up in Pomona\, California. He now lives and works in Chicago\, Illinois\, where he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. Like many first-generation immigrants\, language is an important part of Dominguez’s narrative. Not just in terms of communication but also in its relevance within a broader contemporary American culture. Employing pattern\, vibrant shifting colors and abstracted pictographic imagery\, Dominguez’s works occupy a unique space between painting\, textile-making and functional design. \nDominguez’s 2024 solo presentation with De Boer Gallery at the New Art Dealers Association\n(NADA) Contemporary Art Fair in Miami was recognized by ARTnews in their top 6 selections\nfrom the fair\, writing “In his works that take on art history from the Renaissance to Pop art\,\nDominguez imbues his own sense of cultural history to provide a sharp commentary on growing\nup in the United States as the child of immigrants.” \nRecent solo and group exhibitions include De Boer Gallery (Los Angeles\, CA)\, Andrew Rafacz (Chicago\, IL)\, Western Exhibitions (Chicago\, IL)\, DePaul Art Museum (Chicago\, IL)\, Lubeznik Center for the Arts (Michigan City\, IN)\, Ralph Arnold Gallery at Loyola University (Chicago\, IL)\, Walker Art Gallery (Garnett\, KS)\, National Museum of Mexican Art (Chicago\, IL)\, Carroll University (Waukesha\, WI)\, One After 909 (Chicago\, IL)\, Thomas Masters Gallery (Chicago\, IL)\, and the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (Chicago\, IL).

SUMMARY:Minor Mistakes in Correcting History by Mike Rea
DESCRIPTION:On Display: October 28th-December 9th\nReception: Friday\, October 28th 6-8 PM\nMike Rea has conflated the notions of working hard and playing hard for over a decade with his bombastic wooden sculptures. Replicated and reinvented moments of cinematic horror\, science fiction\, comedy and drama intermingle with memory to form bizarre personal narratives. Over the years\, each uncanny conglomeration of familiar objects and themes has both thrilled and confounded audiences. The delight in the experience of Mike Rea’s vision is the balance between a feeling of understanding that is quickly replaced by new\, surprising discoveries. Whether as conventional sculptures standing alone\, or as props in interactive installations and performances\, these often-massive objects reflect a culture of humor\, violence\, vulgarity\, and sensitivity.

SUMMARY:Recent Work by Robert Mattson & Marjorie Nilssen
DESCRIPTION:On Display: September 9th – October 7th\nReception: Friday\, September 9th 6 to 8 p.m.\nRobert Mattson and Marjorie Nilssen are from New London\, Minnesota\, and are sharing their work in acrylic and wax for this exhibit. Robert Mattson earned an MA in Art from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud\, MN. He was an Art Professor at Ridgewater College in Willmar\, Minnesota from 1967-2001. Mattson’s paintings are expressions of formal oneness created through a process of give and take. They are spontaneous and intuitive and are the culmination of 65 years of being a painter. \nMarjorie Nilssen earned an MA in Art from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud\, MN. She was an Art Professor at Ridgewater College in Willmar\, Minnesota from 1988-2021. For the past 10 years she has been fascinated with the encaustic process because of its sensual and forgiving qualities. Most of the works in the exhibit were created by melting wax\, burning paper and adding color to create unique forms. Sometimes\, melted wax and oil paint is mixed and carefully applied to wood panels. Marjorie works intuitively and spontaneously to discover the most unique one-of-a kind pieces which are purely aesthetic and are not connected with any specific meanings or symbols.

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening: 5 minute Drift by Melissa Leandro
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Leandro 5 minute Drift presents the work of Chicago-based artist Melissa Leandro as she reflects on personal familial and cultural realities that coalesce experiences from her everyday life\nand family histories. Leandro’s exhibition introduces a hodgepodge of domestic vignettes through the use of woven\, quilted and embroidered textiles\, uniquely upholstered furniture\, collaged plastic tablecloths and plaster sculptures created by Leandro and her father. Her practice is shaped by past experiences and relationships; specifically family memories of her mother working as a\nhousekeeper in Miami\, Florida; her grandfather’s farm house in Costa Rica; and her father’s living as a construction worker and builder. Through the process of cyanotype printing and drawing\ntechniques\, Leandro documents her present day collecting of souvenirs\, knick-knacks\, and natural detritus during her travels within and outside of the U.S. She considered the ephemeral nature\nof personal objects\, both treasured and disposable\, and seeks to recognize how they shape her sense of identity.

SUMMARY:Art Gallery Hours
DESCRIPTION:Visit the gallery from 3-6pm to see Erin Furimsky’s solo exhibition\, “Beneath Repetition” at the Rockford University Art Gallery in the Clark Arts Center. \nErin Furimsky’s meticulous details reflect elements of domesticity\, floral motifs\, and calligraphy. The fullness of the ceramic sculptures give the illusion of buoyancy\, complementing the vivid surface treatment. Fragments and layers accumulate organically across the bulbous surfaces of Furimsky’s sculptures\, leaving a sense of order remaining as the embellishments are coupled with linear patterns and blocks of solid color.

SUMMARY:Gallery Reception for "Compact(ed)" with artists Kristina Paabus and Max Seinfeld
DESCRIPTION:Compact(ed) with artists Kristina Paabus & Max Seinfeld\nExhibition Dates: Jan. 27 – March 3\, 2017\nFriday\, Jan. 27\n6-8:30 p.m.\, reception for the artists\n5-6 p.m.\, artist lectures in CAC 111 \nIn the works of Paabus and Seinfeld\, moments of intimacy emerge amongst layers of tension. Both artists create balance using abstract\, formal elements and explore architecture and language. The interplay of color\, line\, space\, and texture in Max Seinfeld’s minute sculptures represents the action and emotion found in both relationships and the environment. Kristina Paabus’ drawings and prints use dramatic spaces and gestural lines to create complex environments that examine structural systems of logic. Seinfeld’s accents of color that highlight shapes and movement complement Paabus’ concentrated negative space and layering of patterns. Both artists explore spatial relationships with engaging details that instill a desire to investigate the constructs of society.

SUMMARY:Art Gallery: Letitia Qesenberry 'small antidote'
DESCRIPTION:Letitia Quesenberry \nsmall antidote \nExhibition dates: \nOctober 28 – December 2\, 2016 \n  \nFriday\, October 28 \nReception for the artist: 6-8:30pm \n  \nLetitia Quesenberry uses subtlety and obscurity as tools of investigation\, lenses through which she inspects themes of memory\, perception\, and representation. While her portfolio varies in approach and message\, a unity of effect runs through her work. Quesenberry offers this thread of continuity\, a cognitive emotional moment of rest and quiet\, to consider the many ways that certainty is elusive and ambiguity is compelling. \nVisit https://www.rockford.edu/artslectures/artgallery/ for more information about upcoming exhibits. The Rockford University Art Gallery provides a varied series of art exhibitions and related programming in support of theDepartment of Art and Art History and is an important educational and cultural resource for the campus and community. The Gallery is located in the Clark Arts Center\, the locus of the University’s Department of Art and Art History. \nAdmission is free. \nHours:\nMon-Wed 3:00 to 6:00 pm\nFri 2:00 to 5:00 pm\nand by appointment.
