SUMMARY:ICA Opening Celebration Winter 2024 - Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the opening of Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses \, a retrospective show of the experimental and genre-defying artist.\n\n\nJoin us for an evening celebrating the opening of Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses\, a retrospective exhibition of the experimental and genre-defying artist\, Carl Cheng\, whose six-decade career operates at the intersection of identity\, technology\, and ecology. \nEnjoy small bites from Dim Sum House and vibe to the electrifying sounds of techno\, deep house\, and disco music courtesy of DJ Yolo Ono. Welcome Remarks by Hallie Ringle (Interim Director and Daniel and Brett Sundheim Chief Curator) will take place at 7:15PM. \nNote: ICA will be closed to the public until Friday\, January 17th at 7PM. Regular hours will resume on Saturday\, January 18th. \n\nAccessibility\nASL interpretation will be provided for this program. \nICA is committed to creating a welcoming environment for all visitors. For more notes on accessibility including accessible parking nearby visit our Accessibility landing page. If you require any accessibility accommodations or have any questions about the program\, please contact Brittany Clottey (bclottey@ica.upenn.edu). \n \nAbout the exhibitions\nCarl Cheng: Nature Never Loses is the first in-depth survey of Carl Cheng’s prescient\, genre-defying work from the 1960s to the present that will transform both floors of the ICA. Cheng began his career in the experimental context of the Southern California art scene and the post-war aerospace industry\, resulting in artworks that operate at the intersection of identity\, technology\, and ecology. Over the last six decades he has worked in a variety of media to reflect on environmental change\, the relevance of art institutions to their publics\, and the role of technology in society. Because the majority of Cheng’s oeuvre is still in his possession\, the exhibition will be an exciting and rare opportunity to animate the arc of his career through a presentation of artworks that are multidisciplinary\, ephemeral\, material\, process-based\, and interactive. The exhibition will also be presented at The Contemporary Austin – Jones Center (September – December 2024)\, Bonnefanten (May – September 2025)\, and Museum Tinguely (December 2025 – May 2026). Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses is curated by Alex Klein\, Head Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, The Contemporary Austin\, with assistance from Rachel Eboh\, Curatorial Assistant\, The Contemporary Austin. The exhibition is organized for ICA by Denise Ryner\, Andrea B. Laporte Curator. \nEntryways: Nontsikelelo Mutiti is the inaugural project for a new series that commissions artists to activate the façade of ICA’s building in partnership with Maharam. For this iteration\, Mutiti combines African hair braiding patterns with symbols often found in ironwork. She reimagines the decorative architectural features first created by enslaved blacksmiths from West Africa which is now found across the United States\, including in Philadelphia. This exhibition is organized by Hallie Ringle\, Daniel and Brett Sundheim Chief Curator. \n \nSupport\nProgramming at ICA is made possible in part by the Emily and Jerry Spiegel Fund to Support Contemporary Culture and Visual Arts and the Lise Spiegel Wilks and Jeffrey Wilks Family Foundation. Public and Student Engagement at ICA is supported by the Bernstein Public Engagement Fund\, Suzanne Weiss Doft & Jacob W. Doft\, Stacey & Robert Goergen Jr.\, Hilarie L. & Mitchell Morgan\, the Nash Family Foundation\, Joline & David Stemerman\, and by Dana McDonald Strong & Mark W. Strong. \nCarl Cheng: Nature Never Loses is organized by The Contemporary Austin\, Texas\, in partnership with the Institute of Contemporary Art\, University of Pennsylvania\, Philadelphia; Bonnefanten\, Maastricht; Museum Tinguely\, Basel; and the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles. \nMajor support for Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, also by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and Teiger Foundation\, with sustainability efforts guided by Rute Collaborative as part of Teiger Foundation’s Climate Action Pilot. Additional support has been provided by Nancy & Leonard Amoroso\, Barbara & Theodore Aronson\, Dorothy & Martin Bandier\, Carol & John Finley\, Cheri & Steven Friedman\, Marjorie & Michael Levine\, Bryan & Meredith Verona\, and Caroline & Daniel Werther. \nSpecial thanks to Philip Martin Gallery\, Los Angeles; Art + Technology Lab\, LACMA\, Los Angeles; REDCAT\, Los Angeles; curatorial fellows Emily Leifer and Pelle Tracey; and studio assistants Maya Buffett-Davis and Markele Cullins.

A Q&A with the audience will follow the conversation. \nCarl Cheng: Nature Never Loses is curated by Alex Klein\, Head Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, The Contemporary Austin\, with assistance from Rachel Eboh\, Curatorial Assistant\, The Contemporary Austin. The exhibition is organized for ICA by Denise Ryner\, Andrea B. Laporte Curator. \n \nRegistration\nVirtual viewing for this program will be available soon. \nLive captioning and ASL interpretation will be provided for this program. \nICA is committed to creating a welcoming environment for all visitors. For more notes on accessibility including accessible parking nearby visit our Accessibility landing page. If you require any accessibility accommodations or have any questions about the program\, please contact Brittany Clottey (bclottey@ica.upenn.edu). \n \nAbout the exhibiton\nCarl Cheng: Nature Never Loses is the first in-depth survey of Carl Cheng’s prescient\, genre-defying work from the 1960s to the present that will transform both floors of the ICA. Cheng began his career in the experimental context of the Southern California art scene and the post-war aerospace industry\, resulting in artworks that operate at the intersection of identity\, technology\, and ecology. Over the last six decades he has worked in a variety of media to reflect on environmental change\, the relevance of art institutions to their publics\, and the role of technology in society. Because the majority of Cheng’s oeuvre is still in his possession\, the exhibition will be an exciting and rare opportunity to animate the arc of his career through a presentation of artworks that are multidisciplinary\, ephemeral\, material\, process-based\, and interactive. The exhibition will also be presented at The Contemporary Austin – Jones Center (September – December 2024)\, Bonnefanten (May – September 2025)\, and Museum Tinguely (December 2025 – May 2026). \n \nSupport\nProgramming at ICA is made possible in part by the Emily and Jerry Spiegel Fund to Support Contemporary Culture and Visual Arts and the Lise Spiegel Wilks and Jeffrey Wilks Family Foundation. Public and Student Engagement at ICA is supported by the Bernstein Public Engagement Fund\, Suzanne Weiss Doft & Jacob W. Doft\, Stacey & Robert Goergen Jr.\, Hilarie L. & Mitchell Morgan\, the Nash Family Foundation\, Joline & David Stemerman\, and by Dana McDonald Strong & Mark W. Strong. \nCarl Cheng: Nature Never Loses is organized by The Contemporary Austin\, Texas\, in partnership with the Institute of Contemporary Art\, University of Pennsylvania\, Philadelphia; Bonnefanten\, Maastricht; Museum Tinguely\, Basel; and the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles. \nMajor support for Carl Cheng: Nature Never Loses has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, also by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and Teiger Foundation\, with sustainability efforts guided by Rute Collaborative as part of Teiger Foundation’s Climate Action Pilot. Additional support has been provided by Nancy & Leonard Amoroso\, Barbara & Theodore Aronson\, Dorothy & Martin Bandier\, Carol & John Finley\, Cheri & Steven Friedman\, Marjorie & Michael Levine\, Bryan & Meredith Verona\, and Caroline & Daniel Werther. \nSpecial thanks to Philip Martin Gallery\, Los Angeles; Art + Technology Lab\, LACMA\, Los Angeles; REDCAT\, Los Angeles; curatorial fellows Emily Leifer and Pelle Tracey; and studio assistants Maya Buffett-Davis and Markele Cullins.

Vibrational healing is the ancient art of healing with sound; it traces back to ancient Egypt & Tibet. Sound vibrations can heal the physical body at a cellular level by adjusting blockages and imbalances. These imbalances can cause the body to have a slower frequency vibration which may lead to dis-ease or illnesses. Natural healing sound frequencies can be transferred or introduced externally or directly into the body to create a more harmonious state. \nAt Black Lotus\, we combine the use of crystal chakra singing bowls\, gongs\, tuning forks\, and more to give a relaxing & transformative experience. We can balance chakras\, repair auras\, uplift the mood or help with grounding. Vibrational healing is a great tool for meditation\, alleviating stress\, and relaxing stiff or sore muscles. \nFor more visit: www.diasporaeducationalservices.org/black-lotus \nhttps://linktr.ee/blacklotushhc \n\n\n\nDIRECTIONS: \n \nBlack Lotus is not on Lincoln Drive despite the address…it is actually on Rittenhousetown Lane.

DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy of Stacey Gray\nMeeting at Blue Bell Hill Park\nThis location will not require hiking to access from the available parking areas.\nPlease note that there will be bathroom access during the service day.\nDr. King once said\, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?” By volunteering on this day\, we will be giving back to our park\, its users\, the creek\, and the plants and animals that rely on it to live. This year\, we will be completing a variety of projects around Blue Bell Park\, including removing invasive vines and cleaning up litter. This will not only make this area of the park more beautiful\, but it will keep our watershed healthier for all!\nAll are welcome to attend\, and no experience is needed. We encourage attendees to work within their own comfort level\, and we always strive to accommodate needs on an individual basis. With that being said\, this service day may include the following activities:\n• Invasive plant removal: bending over\, using long handled tools\n• Litter clean-up\n• Repetitive motions\nWe provide gloves\, tools\, and instruction–you just need to show up! Be sure to wear sturdy footwear and long pants\, and remember to bring water with you. Detailed information and confirmation of the meeting location will be sent by email the day before the event. If you are hoping to bring a group of 5 or more people\, please reach out to us first. For more information contact Marisa Miller at miller@fow.org.\nRegister Below!
