Out & About | Erin Cramer's CURIOUS CREATURES (March 9th-25th)

A menagerie of animals, real and imagined, will fill swell gallery throughout the month of March. 

Dundee native turned Art Institute Lecturer, Erin Cramer, sculpts her critters from handmade paper pulp, using things like flax, hemp, cotton, abaca, kozo, recycled clothing, and recycled scrap papers.

Of her work, Erin has said "Handmade paper’s seductive versatility allows me to create lightweight works of art that look like they are made out of anything from concrete to skin. My hope is to engage viewers through approachable art that will spark a curiosity of the mystery and playfulness of the natural world."

Artist's Reception: Friday, March 9 from 6-8pm. Erin will give a short talk about her work at 7pm. 

Open: Saturdays & Sunday, March 10-25 from 1-5pm. Erin will be in the gallery every Sunday to chat and answer questions.

Uncanny Specimens Zine!

Check out our latest zine project, which pulls together all the awesome resources we uncovered during September's UNCANNY SPECIMENS week.  Grab a copy at the Library's Zine Exchange on the 1st Floor...

UNCANNY SPECIMENS WRAP UP

It's been a whirlwind of a week that included excellent discussion and resource sharing, amazing stories and expertise, some good old messy printmaking exploits, and some awesome writing.  The week ends today with a Resource Showcase on the 4th Floor of the Library, so if you're on campus, stop by to peruse the materials in the 4th Floor Lurie Lounge. Thanks to all the panel and reading participants, the folks who came to play with ink and octopi with us, and all the attendees for the week's programming.
