Concert
Orpheus in China
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free
Organized by Gene Coleman, this concert represents the combination of two programmatic strands that Coleman has been working on intensely for the past several years. One category,?Eurethos,?has identified the ongoing influence of European aesthetics on American culture. And the second,?Transonic,?has featured cross-cultural programs involving East Asian traditions. The result is a bill going under the title Orpheus in China, with Seth Josel (guitar), Hong Wang (Erhu), Carmel Raz (violin), and regulars from Ensemble Noamnesia played music by Richard Barrett, Peter Ablinger, Chao- Ming Tung and others.
This event was FREE and will took place in the gallery.
Panel Discussion
On Graffitecture: Chicago Graffiti Artists Attack Photographic Spaces
Front Forty Press
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free
Front Forty Press is Doug Fogelson, Dan De Los Monteros, and David Castillo. Describing their process as one of ?blind
collaboration,? Front Forty Press recently invited
a host of Chicago graffiti artists to work on
top of photographs of architectural interiors and
exteriors. The result is a very handsome,
straightforward publication entitled Graffitecture:
Chicago Graffiti Artists Attack Photographic
Spaces. Featuring a range of styles and
approaches, Graffitecture is at once a thoughtful,
expressive and aggressive project that gives
pause to the relationship between graffiti and
architecture as it is mediated through
photography. Please join us for a discussion with
Front Forty as they discuss the development of
this project.
This event is FREE and will take
place in Cobb Hall Room 402, down the hall from
the gallery.

Lecture
The Work of Katharina Grosse
Lane Relyea
Location: The Renaissance Society

Allover and At Once is Relyea?s staunch polemic that still has painters (and curators) in this town on guard. Relyea is currently an Assistant Professor in Northwestern University?s Department of Art Theory and Practice. The list of artists on whom he has written for monographs and magazines constitutes a seminal account of the trends and currents defining the field of contemporary art.

Lecture
Modern Color/Modern Architecture
William Braham
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free
What is the historical grounding for a discussion of how Katharina Grosse?s work relates to architecture? That is the question inspiring this lecture. While Braham will not discuss Grosse?s work directly, he will give a backdrop for considering the implications of her work as it relates to modern architecture. In addition to being an Associate Professor of Architecture at The University of Pennsylvania, Braham was elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in June 2006; he is a member of the International Association of Lighting Designers; and principal of Studio Luxe, a design and consulting practice. His book, Modern Color/Modern Architecture: A Genealogy of Color in Modern Architecture was published in the Spring of 2002.
