It’s that time! The SENIOR THESIS ART EXHIBITION at the Daura Museum of Art • April 27th-May 14th • Opening reception April 27th at 3pm on the Dell •

You are invited to attend the zoom lecture "The Conservation of Paintings: Historical and Technical Discoveries" presented by former Associate Conservator of Paintings for the Art Institute of Chicago, Barry Bauman. During his 46 years of experience treating and analyzing damaged paintings, he has uncovered lost signatures, hidden dates, and entire paintings hidden beneath other works. Two of his discoveries were so phenomenal they landed the front pages of the The New York Times. Professor Nikkole Huss, Curator of Concordia University Chicago's Art Collection will serve as moderator of the event which is fueled by the audience's questions.

Barry Bauman founded and directed the Chicago Conservation Center, which for 20 years was the largest conservation facility in the nation. In 2004, he left the private sector to establish Bauman Conservation, America’s first conservation laboratory dedicated to offering complimentary services to museums and nonprofit organizations including Concordia University Chicago. It is estimated that Bauman contributed more than $6 million in conservation services to museums and nonprofits. In August 2018, he opened Conservation Ventures, a company that focuses on presentations and CAP grants to assist museums with recommendations and priorities for long-range care. Concordia University Chicago was awarded one of these grants in 2020. For additional questions about the April 14 presentation, contact Professor Nikkole Huss, Curator of Concordia Chicago's art collection, at [email protected].

"Spinning brooms, twirling mops, and bright purple cabbages are common objects found in my artwork. Stripped from their usual domestic setting and often paired with heavy industrial components, they defy their expected place and function. A wobbly balance between work and play engages the viewers imagination with humor and absurdity. My intent for my artworks is to utilize objects of function to access and explore fundamental human characteristics: vulnerability, awkwardness, and humor.

My process for creating art often begins rummaging through a junkyard. My grandfather owned a salvage business in the central valley of California, so growing up I had a unique experience of discovering objects and questioning their function. A myriad of unlikely objects, each with their own history and purpose, poetically coexist in a junkyard. In selecting objects I hope to bring a similar experience to the viewer in the gallery: one of delightful curiosity and discovery.

Swept Away, includes work created before the pandemic as well as during. As viewers see these objects through the lens of “pandemic cleanliness,” they will each bring their own experiences of 2020 into the interpretation of the work.

BIO:

Chelsea Tinklenberg a Professor of Art at the University of Lynchburg. She received her Master of Fine Art degree at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and Bachelor of Fine Art degree at Northern Arizona University. In summer 2017, she was a part of the digital stone project, a residency in Italy. In summer 2018, she completed a 2 month internship at Franconia Sculpture Park, and in spring 2019, she was invited to exhibit her work as a solo show in Philadelphia’s Napoleon Gallery. She is currently experimenting with both kinetic and static sculptural forms to capture playful, comedic, movement that eludes to our ever-changing struggle to achieve balance."

Art unveiled in Drysdale meant to unify, inspire change The year 2020 will be remembered as a year of constant change and inner reflection, events that inspired artist Frankie Slaughter to create “Spring Twenty Twenty” which now resides in the Drysdale Student Center.
