UBS 12 x 12: New Artists / New Work: Ann Toebbe October 8-30, 2011

UBS 12 x 12: AnnToebbe   First Fridays    UBS 12 x 12: New Artists / New Work: Ann Toebbe October 8-30, 2011   Chicago artist Ann Toebbe's latest collage paintings were inspired by her husband's grandmother, Mary Bard's 1949 book The Doctor Wears Three Faces about the expectations and isolation of being a doctor's wife, which was made into the movie Mother Didn't Tell Me. Herself a mother of two, Toebbe began thinking about the role of women within the home, then and now, and the ongoing centrality of the kitchen within domestic life.  Toebbe's exhibition debuts at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, on October 7, 2011 during First Fridays and runs through October 30. After ten years, Toebbe is the final artist of the UBS 12 x 12: New Artists/New Work series at the MCA before it evolves into the Chicago Works program in November. Comprised of three large-scale collage paintings made of individually cut and painted pieces of paper --The Doctor's Wife (7 x 10 ft), The Grocer's Wife (6 x 8 ft), and The Photo Engraver's Wife (6 x 8 ft) -- Toebbe's exhibit is based on conversations she had with her mother, mother-in-law, and step-mother-in-law centered on fond memories of their childhood kitchens, and the difficulties of being married and a mother in the 1940s and 50s. They each wrote a short text and made a drawing describing their mother's kitchen, which Toebbe uses as the basis of her paintings. Her vivid visions of domestic spaces bring to life often overlooked details of the environments of daily life, which become the cornerstone of memories. They also reflect issues of class difference and a shared material culture. The disorienting, flattened perspective derives from her study of Russian icon painting, Cubism, and folk art. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Toebbe received a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and her MFA from Yale University, and now resides in Chicago. Toebbe's work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Chicago, New York, Boston, Cincinnati, and San Francisco, among others.

5 Pieces Gallery/ Focus on... Scott Everingham

Focus on... Scott Everingham born 1978 in Toronto, Canada Scott Everingham is a painter who manipulates paint the way a writer may use a collection of words - translating the language into a visual explanation of what is around him, and attempting to develop landscapes and environments that are at once representations of paint, and life. Much of his painterly process is influenced by fiction: literature, film, and imagery that surrounds him. This allows a freedom to occur directly on the canvas - where most of his ultimate choices take place, with his preparation occurring while reading or viewing. Slowly the spaces he is singularly involved in become metaphors for the structure, balance, and hope of his own life, yet each work is alive with time (or lack thereof), light, and movement. Often upheaval ensues - perhaps as an allegorical approach to insecurity, distrust, or the inability to completely understand death. In the end, it's a visual story-telling that expresses how paint can describe a mental state while suggesting that the audience is an active participant. Scott Everingham holds a BFA from NSCAD University in Halifax, and an MFA from the University of Waterloo, and was a semi-finalist in the 11th and 12th RBC Painting Competitions. He recently won a Canada Council for the Arts Project Grant, and had his work Dear Life purchased by the Canada Council Art Bank. He lives and works in Toronto. www.scotteveringham.com
