From the press release: "[It is] a very physical exhibition, focusing on our experience of being there, and being with the paintings...They create and generate confrontations and connections...These are works that shout at us. They challenge us, but they also caress us. They look back at us, and throw us off balance. The motto of the exhibition is borrowed from the American filmmaker John Waters, known for his more than usually experimental style. Out of all the possible candidates, he is the one who defines the task of art as being: to confuse us in a beautiful way." The exhibition opens on November 2 and will be on view through November 25.

Lois Brand “Make sense of the modern world through the POP CULTURE paintings” The Lois Brand works are pseudo-sanctification of icons and messages from Heroes to levels of Hell, combining a bright array of reds, yellows and oranges with dark graffiti lines. It perfectly captures the period in which it was painted, a time when Brand was transitioning from fashion to the studio, turning her urban graffiti into neo-expressionist paintings. Like the rest of her body of work, the paintings are infused with iconic imagery and showcases her mastery of symbolism. On any given day you could be at a different level of Happiness or Hell, as per the daily issues of life… Light switch! (Turn It On!) The Mask Icon as the cover layer we all use for confidence. Face Icon, Noir et Blanche is the black and white positive negative yin-yang of womanhood! Her work reflects the Pop generation. Visit http://www.MuseumMasters.com for more information. M. Dreeland M. Dreeland introduces a pop art style that mixes basic acrylics and techniques from the old masters, with hi-tech tools of the present and future. Modern technology, with the use of graphic design programs, has allowed M. Dreeland to spotlight a unique step and repeat style by using multiple layers and common objects. Thick paint and bold colors characterizes M. Dreeland's work. American Heart Association entitled "Pop Heart" was donated for their charity ball auction at the 2008 gala at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. M. Dreeland is currently in 2012 "the featured artist" at the Time Warner Center in New York City where he has previously showcased pieces from his collection in December 2009 and April 2010. His work will again be commemorated from October through January 2012. M. Dreeland was recently commissioned to create an installation piece on entry doors at the Andaz Hotel on Fifth Avenue in NYC. M. Dreeland has shown at the prestigious Art Basel in Miami at the Red Dot Art Fair with the Artisan Direct Ltd. Gallery. M. Dreeland works have been in recent publications including the New York Times, Art Observer, Whitewall Magazine, Paper Magazine, Manhattan Magazine and GQ Magazine. Visit http://www.MuseumMasters.com for more information. Peter Marco It was out on the streets of New York City that New York native Marco, honed both his style, his brand, and his sales approach. With MARCOART, his first retail store / studio / boutique in the Lower East Side, Marco quickly established a base of operations from 1993 to 2005. His entrepreneurial spirit attracted the attention of a local real estate agent and the newly formed Lower East Side Business Improvement District who invited Marco to join as a commercial member. He re-located his retail operation and was soon approached by Swatch Watch to design what later became the best-selling Artist Swatch of all time. Unicef also commissioned Marco to create a series of products including coffee cups, giant floor puzzles, and placemats which it sold in through it’s catalogs with all the proceeds going to fight poverty in the Third World. As ambassador to the Lower East Side, Marco presented electronic music legend Moby with an original acrylic on canvas tribute painting in his then newly opened downtown hotspot Teany. He sold iconoclastic Spanish film director Pedro Almodovar special limited edition hand-pulled silkscreen prints at his studio/boutique. For Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathway as in-house artist, he muralized an entire cafeteria and created original Acrylic on Canvas tribute Portraits of: Shaq, Wayne Gretzky, Flava Flave, Dwayne Wade, Carmello Anthony, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, Usher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Jonas Brothers, and NYC Police Chief Esposito, to name just a few. Marco is currently working on separate exclusive European/Japanese, and American Licensing programs, a series of children’s books, a vast line of licensed products, an animated children’s cartoon, a TV show, an illustrated novel & has and continues to donate his artwork to the philanthropic gala fund-raisers of thousands of charitable organizations. FAO Schwarz in partnership with Toys R Us opened the Marco Pop Shop on Fifth Avenue this fall! Visit http://www.MuseumMasters.com for more information. Sid Maurer No other artist, living or dead, has done or is capable of doing what Sid Maurer does to achieve the desired results. He starts with a simple black-and-white image, which he enlarges, and a piece of plywood. He gessos the piece of wood, then takes exacting measurements of both the wood and the image so they are one and the same. He then glues the photographic paper onto the wood in such a way that it is fully and permanently affixed. It is bonded to the wood and will remain there for many, many lifetimes. He then bombards the image with mixed media -- crayon, acrylics, watercolor dyes, varnish -- anything that moves him in the artistic process to yield a rendering that does justice to the subject. The result is a unique blend of a painter's passion, tempered with the compositional eye of a great graphic designer. Any contemporary artist who endeavored to duplicate Mr. Maurer's method would be lost without Sid's early experience as a graphic designer. In this regard, he is completely unique in the history of art and, in all likelihood, into the future as well. Visit http://www.MuseumMasters.com for more information. Robert A.

MCA Stage: Martin Creed's Unconventional Ballet

MARTIN CREED WORK NO. 1020 (BALLET)  November 15-16, 2012

Martin Creed, the British multimedia artist, creates an unconventional ballet featuring his rock band and five dancers.  Work No. 1020 (Ballet) is a mix of talk, film, song, and movement built upon the five body positions of classical ballet and the notes of the musical scale. It is presented in conjunction with Martin Creed Plays Chicago, the year-long 2012 MCA artist-in-residence project in which he creates visual and performance art work in non-gallery settings in the museum throughout the year, including the massiveMOTHERS sculpture on the plaza. The performances are presented in the Edlis Neeson Theater on Thursday and Friday, November 15-16, 2012 as part of the MCA Stage's Global Stage series. In Work No. 1020, Creed creates a framework in which audiences experience subtle changes of time, speed, and direction. The choreography is methodical and geometric, comprised of the building blocks of classical ballet -- five basic positions of the feet that are the foundation of every other step. The work is performed by five classically trained dancers from London, and is co-created with Lorena Randi, a dancer/choreographer associated with Sadler's Wells Theatre in London who commissioned the original presentation of the ballet in 2009. Creed creates a parallel set of musical building blocks with the notes of the scale. Between sections of the dance, Creed and his band play songs with humorous and pessimistic lyrics such as, "What's the point of it?" or "Pass your bad feelings on." The music compositions correspond with the minimal choreography. Film clips show Creed getting dogs to cross a white space in different directions and a man kicking a plant, along with more mature content such as vomit and an erection. He introduces and explains the songs with his distinctive hesitant and reflective speaking pattern. VIDEO ABOUT MARTIN CREED PLAYS CHICAGO      ABOUT THE ARTIST Martin Creed's works range from poetically simple objects to large-scale participatory performances, including painting, sculpture, films, dance, performance, and music that re-evaluate the status of art with a generous sense of humor. Labeled a conceptualist and provocateur, Creed is creating new works every month to appear in non-gallery spaces in and around the museum, as well as on the MCA Plaza, and out in the city. As the MCA turns the museum over to Creed for the year, his residency illustrates the MCA's vision of an "artist-activated, audience-engaged" museum. Creed (b. 1968) is one of the UK's leading artists and winner of the 2001 Turner Prize. He recently organized the project Work No. 1197: All the bells in a country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes for July 27, 2012, as part of the UK government's Cultural Olympiad that accompanies the London 2012 Olympic Games. TICKET INFO  Work No. 1020 (Ballet) is 70 minutes without intermission and takes place November 15-16, at 7:30 pm at the Edlis Neeson Theater, 220 East Chicago Avenue. Tickets are $28, $22 for MCA Members, and a limited quantity of $10 student tickets is available. The MCA Box Office is at312.397.4010 or www.mcachicago.org. One free museum admission is granted with an MCA Stage ticket stub, valid up to seven days after the performance.
