Juventus 2003 was a competition designed to highlight the diverse ideas currently engaging students and recent graduates of studio art programs. The 12 awardees are Adrianna Bamber, Tonia Bonnell, Aimee Brown, Stacie Johnson, Danielle Nelson, Rocyeun Kim, Karin Patzke, Melissa Scherrer, Barbra Tolentino, Ruslan Trusewych, Faith Veenstra and Erik Waterkotte. They were selected for the exhibition by a panel of jurors that included Nicholas Sawicki, faculty member, Department of Art, Grinnell College, Tom Palazzolo, artist, Marissa Woloszczuk, artist, and Michael Griffin digital artist.
Painting, photography, prints, sculpture and mixed media are all represented in the exhibition. "Taken together, the works seem at once quarrelsome, dissonant, and categorically in sync. The resulting accumulation of ideas speaks to contemporary artistic concerns, but more than anything, the revisitation of established precedents binds this group of artists together," observes Sawicki.
The exhibit will open with a reception December 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. Prizes will be awarded to exhibitors. This program is partially supported by a grant from the Governor's International Arts Exchange Program of the Illinois Arts Council.
The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art was created to preserve and promote the knowledge and appreciation of contemporary Ukrainian art and culture. It serves as an artistic anchor in Chicago's West Town community, providing world-class art exhibitions, concerts, literary readings, and educational and cultural exchanges.
UIMA is located at 2320 W. Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL telephone 773-227-5522. The Institute is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information on the event or UIMA please visit www.uima-art.org.
