• Screening2: Making Arrangements | Ataraxia

  <p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>Making Arrangements: Ataraxia</em>, a video installation by Crit Streed.</p><p><br></p><p>Making Arrangements is an ever-changing configuration in glass positioned in relationship to a video projected on the wall. The woman in the video is endlessly moving two chairs in an empty room in pursuit of the perfect arrangement. The shelves of milk glass have equally been arranged to balance, flow, fill the eye and evoke an interest. “Milk glass with its curious cultural history presents an arena to reflect on our everyday actions that give us a moment of solace by putting things right in an uncontrollable world. Whether we live with few objects or collect many, we arrange. If we can find the right arrangement and create our space within the larger chaotic world, we think we can manage," says Crit. This installation is comprised of 143 pieces of milk glass framing the digital video.</p><p><br></p><p>Crit Streed was born in 1948 in Washington, Iowa, where she grew up. She received a B.A. in art from the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, and her M.A. in painting and drawing and M.F.A. in painting and lithography from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Between short-term teaching positions, she lived and worked in Nepal from 1982 to 1984, and has participated in various artist residencies nationally and abroad. She has exhibited widely and is Professor Emeritus of Art at the University of Northern Iowa, where she had taught since the 1980s. Recently, she completed a residency in Cadaqués and currently lives and creates in Cedar Falls, IA.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403.

• The Agitators by Mat Smart

  <p>"A must see... A powerful history lesson that needs to have a voice." - Rochester Democrat &amp; Chronicle</p><p>Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Young abolitionists when they met in the 1840s, they were full of hopes, dreams, and common purpose. This is the story of their 45-year friendship – from its beginning in Rochester to the highest halls of government. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other, and – in doing so – they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history. Presented in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of women’s suffrage – and in the midst of the Iowa Caucuses.&nbsp;</p><p>"The Agitators" by Mat Smart<br>Directed by Chris Okiishi<br>with Curtis M.

• The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities

  <p>Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening the original documentary film&nbsp;<em>The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920</em> at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship &amp; Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.</p><p>Object guides describing the details of each item on display are available for visitors in the Main Library Gallery.</p><p><strong>Main Library Gallery Hours:&nbsp;</strong><br>Monday, Wednesday - Friday: 9:00am - 6:00pm<br>Tuesday: 9:00am - 8:00pm<br>Saturday- Sunday: 1:00pm - 5:00pm<br>Please visit <a href="http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/">http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/</a> for hours and holiday info.</p><p><em>Many thanks to our exhibit and event sponsors for their support: Friends of the University of Iowa Libraries, Arts and Humanities Initiative, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, the University of Iowa Theatre Arts Department, and the University of Iowa Department of American Studies.</em></p>

• Unwrapped: Gifts from the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project, 1988-2018

  <p>Retired computer entrepreneur Peter Norton (Norton Antivirus Software) is a contemporary art collector as well as an active participant in various civic and philanthropic activities. In 1988, the Norton Family Christmas Project began commissioning artists to create original, multiple-edition works that were mailed as holiday greetings to friends, colleagues, and selected institutions. In 2017, the CRMA received the bulk of these wonderful holiday greetings from Director Emeritus Terry Pitts and his wife Kathy Hall.</p><p><br></p><p>The objects and artists’ books that comprise the Project collection are incredibly varied. A sense of whimsy runs through many of the pieces: salt and pepper shakers become snow globes, a music box exhorts us to be silent. Many works also have a sociopolitical focus, addressing issues as varied as slavery, AIDS, and gender identity. Taken together, the Norton Family Christmas Project objects and artists’ books provide a wonderful snapshot of the last thirty years of activity in the art world at large, presenting the work of both emerging and more established artists. The 2018 edition of the Norton Family Christmas Project was the last and ended the series.</p> 2020-01-31 16:00:00 -0600

• Rachel Breen and the Bluestocking Artists Collective

  <p>Opening Reception and Gallery Talks: January 31st, 5:00-7:00pm</p><p>Spring 2020 Kocher Visiting Artist Rachel Breen relies on nontraditional materials (rocks, thread, etc.) and specific exhibition spaces to help her explore social concerns, such as women’s rights, the textile industry and clothing consumption, and agriculture and the ecosystem. Breen, who considers herself as much an activist as an artist, works with numerous social justice organizations, which also provides information and inspiration for her art. Funds from the Robert and Joan Kocher Visual Arts Endowment support this exhibition and Breen’s visiting artist award.&nbsp;</p><p>Active in the Iowa City-Cedar Rapids corridor, Bluestockings members support one another in their creative practices while addressing the systemic issues that limit representation and success in the arts for gender marginalized people in particular. Their group exhibition highlights the diversity of materials used while advocating for a common message of intersectional feminism and solidarity with all communities affected by systemic oppression. The collective is open to all women, trans-identifying, non-binary and femme-identifying artists who desire a supportive space to critique, share business tips, raise awareness and create.</p> 2019-09-24 18:00:00 -0500

• Seasonal Tree Rock Painting at Prairiewoods

  <p>At different times in life and even various times within the same year, we may find ourselves in different seasons of the heart. We may be in the rush of promise, hope and possibility present in spring, or withdrawing inward during the challenges of grief, loss or turbulence in winter. In this contemplative and creative workshop at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), facilitator Andi Lewis will read passages from John O’Donohue’s book <em>Anam Cara</em> to help us discern which season of the heart we are in. Then we will delve into that season and express our emotions through painting on smooth rocks. We will use a paint brush and fine dotting tools to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind seasonal tree. This is a fun, relaxing process that can be done by anyone, but it may be too contemplative for young children. (If you’d like to bring the whole family, consider coming the next morning to our popular Rock Mandala Painting instead!) This class is aimed at both those who have painted rock mandalas and those who are totally new to rock painting. Please register and pay by Jan. 29. The cost is $13 per person includes rocks and art supplies. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2019-12-19 20:30:00 -0600

This is the story of their 45-year friendship – from its beginning in Rochester to the highest halls of government. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other, and – in doing so – they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history. Presented in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of women’s suffrage – and in the midst of the Iowa Caucuses.&nbsp;</p><p>"The Agitators" by Mat Smart<br>Directed by Chris Okiishi<br>with Curtis M.
