Exhibitions
CAA sponsors exhibitions that are on view during the Annual Conference.
The CAA Annual Exhibition for the Chicago conference in 2010 will take place (see below for description), and CAA is still planning for an exhibition to coincide with the centennial conference in New York in 2011. There is no current call for proposals for the CAA Annual Exhibition.
CAA Annual Exhibition
The exhibition Picturing the Studio, taking place December 12, 2009–February 13, 2010, explores the richly complex politically and psychologically charged notion of the artist’s studio through the work of contemporary makers. It is on view at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Sullivan Galleries, located at 33 South State, Seventh Floor.
Picturing the Studio is curated by Michelle Grabner, professor and chair of the Department of Painting and Drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Annika Marie, assistant professor in the Department of Art and Design at Columbia College Chicago.
Artists include: Bas Jan Ader, Conrad Bakker, John Baldessari, Stephanie Brooks, Ivan Brunetti, Ann Craven, Julian Dashper, Dana DeGiulio, Susanne Doremus, Joe Fig, Dan Fischer, Julia Fish, Nicholas Frank, Alicia Frankovich, Judith Geichman, Rodney Graham, Karl Haendel, Shane Huffman, Barbara Kasten, Matt Keegan, Daniel Lavitt, Adelheid Mers, Tom Moody, Bruce Nauman, Paul Nudd, Frank Piatek, Leland Rice, David Robbins, Kay Rosen, Amanda Ross-Ho, Carrie Schneider, Roman Signer, Amy Sillman, Frances Stark, Nicholas Steindorf, and James Welling.
A CAA reception is scheduled for Friday, February 12, 6:00–8:00 PM, and will feature a site-specific installation by the artist Jan Tichy with Narelle Jubelin, Carla Duarte, and Jon Brumit. A poster-catalogue with art by Adelheid Mers will also be available.
This show is also part of Studio Chicago, a collaborative project that explores the artist’s studio. Read an excerpt from the exhibition catalogue essay in the November CAA News.
Regional MFA Exhibition
Representatives from colleges, universities, or art schools in the conference city organize an annual group exhibition of student work from MFA programs in the region around the conference city.
The Regional MFA Exhibition will not take place during the 2010 Annual Conference in Chicago.
