"I'm very interested in Modernism. It's like idealism, in general...trying to search the expansion of the human ability to see things in a different way. They are all very ambitious adventurism in a way." --Hiroshi Sugimoto

| | | Highlights from the ART21 Magazine | |
From the January/February "Movement" issue:
One of the organizers behind the Guerrilla Girls Twin Cities Takeover, Megan Johnston, shares how the project originated and details how the feminist collective played a pivotal role in shaping today's pluralist climate. Composer Julia Adolphe describes her process of translating mood and meaning into music through her composition for the aria So Donia Speaks. Artist collective Postcommodity explains the motivations behind their bi-national land art installation Repellent Fence / Valla Repelente, which traced an indigenous trade route to suture a land divided by the border. Canadian art critic Sky Goodden contributes a poetic text that likens contemporary artists to migrating birds, both refusing to be caged and always in motion.

Involving a wide spectrum of stakeholders from diverse organizational contexts, the event served as a catalyst for shifting the paradigm of education in and through visual art. Revisit the event, or experience Creative Chemistries for the first time, with expanded resources and video documentation from the inaugural event.
