Through Salvage, an ongoing series of symposiums sponsored by the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory, UChicago Department of Art History, and the College that explore the value of art and the use and reuse of materials, the Office of Civic Engagement hosted a conversation with Woodlawn neighborhood community members to discuss public art and open space on the mid-South Side. The Office also identified Woodlawn artmakers from the Revival Arts Collective (Anton Seals, William Hill, and Andres Hernandez) to speak about their practices atSalvage 3.0: Built Space. The symposium explored the act and art of salvaging public art and its positive impact on the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1468371054553-RQQ4XQTNK548FHX965XZ/flyer_wpaf.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1468370091648-2ELRNDC1QZFG5BH0W1WZ/salvage3-1_poster2-21.png Work In Salvage 3.1: Fashion, the Object Cultures Project continues its exploration of the art and practice of salvage by asking how and whether the ubiquity of the vintage, the retro, and the cyclically recurrent in fashion reanimates or revises regimes of value. We also consider how those reanimated styles impact the meanings attached to salvaged materials themselves and what they might teach us about the wider promise and peril of salvaging. In partnership with the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory (3CT), UChicago Arts, the Adelyn Russell Bogert Fund of the Franke Institute for the Humanities, the Art History Department, the Office for Civic Engagement, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and MODA at Chicago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1504202317030-XAA8FR6ON5U053X93R6B/ArtWalk+Map+v4F-1.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1511985255143-NVTXIW6Q42QUC2A483P9/64th+Street+Mural+SOC+-+18.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1440600782149-XRZ79TOCPXREQUJC5NA8/20150410_MODA_8152.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1440601207550-71NMWMJ7KSD1SMM1E81W/20140530_53rdFashion_028+%283%29.jpg Work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1440560282393-8309RT8BU54HIEFI36E0/image-asset.jpeg Work http://www.nikalevando.com/blog-1 daily 0.75 2017-08-31 http://www.nikalevando.com/blog-1/2017/8/31/art-walk-2017-hosted-by-the-evening-associates monthly 0.5 2017-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1504204884164-QN9OP98JS8LBHOJ5DC5A/19575251_10155747358944349_8472334947772019461_o.jpg Blog - Art Walk 2017 - Hosted by the Evening Associates Board of Directors - Evening Associates - Art Institute of Chicago http://www.nikalevando.com/blog-1/2016/2/8/artfeed monthly 0.5 2016-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454957258205-7EQPAA5SIYUWT8TIGRA5/image-asset.jpeg Blog - #ArtFEED Woman in Tub, Jeff Koons, 1988 Photo by Greg Birman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454959975559-ZQTA49PS712D3YMKJJLG/image-asset.jpeg Blog - #ArtFEED Andy Warhol https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454960026395-U9SZLGWPU5JK6ZZHRNOR/image-asset.jpeg Blog - #ArtFEED Cy Twombly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454960117843-AMHHD9A3O6ZVSQJ2CXQX/image-asset.jpeg Blog - #ArtFEED https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454960129820-AKO9A3XVQ07A8EPMVHMO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - #ArtFEED https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454960147825-5XFMNMSUHJU1Z8MU01EM/image-asset.jpeg Blog - #ArtFEED http://www.nikalevando.com/blog-1/2016/2/2/why-is-art-necessary-for-survival monthly 0.5 2016-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55dd2a90e4b0ec1e12a4827b/1454471794969-XRP35IFV7YTRKNEV1PL3/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Why is Art necessary for survival?
