OTHER PEOPLE’S PROPERTY
Looking at visual languages in terms of advertising and popular culture, artist Hank Willis Thomas recontextualizes how visions of beauty perpetuate race and gender-based identities. His use of photography, film, sculpture and other media views bodies as sites of identification and as objects of consumption.

This show won a Pulitzer Prize, was directed by an Oscar-winner, is making its East Coast debut in Philly…what more is there to say? With tickets as low as $10, this show is sure to hit all of the right notes. There are only five performances though, so hurry and buy tickets if this sounds like a noteworthy night out. To get to the Opera House, take the R-5 to Suburban Station, which is a 10-minute walk to the theater. http://www.operaphila.org/production/silent-night?sourceno=28117

Jennifer Greenburg at The Print Center
Have you heard of The Print Center? Their mission statement is to keep printmaking and photography vital in contemporary art. The most wonderful part is that it is free to the public. Check them out on Monday-Saturday from 11:00 am-6:00 pm.The Print Center is located on the South side of the 1600 block of Latimer Street between Spruce and Locust Streets. The latest exhibit will be up January 11th-March 16th. The opening reception will be Thursday, January 17th, from 5:30-7:30. The artist’s name is Jennifer Greenburg. More information about her art is printed below, thanks to The Print Center’s website.
“Revising History is an exhibition of new photographic work by Chicago artist Jennifer Greenburg. The exhibition features a series of manufactured images Greenburg created in which individuals in found, vintage negatives are replaced with her own image. She commandeers source material from other people’s lives, thus hijacking their memories as her own. The resulting images are highly believable, as Greenburg is seamlessly integrated into an array of interiors, interacting with people from the original photographs and engaging in the action of the captured moment. The images depict events ranging from an office party to the last seconds of a ping pong competition, and just like most snapshots, they memorialize events that are only fleetingly significant.
Greenburg is an Assistant Professor of Photography at Indiana University Northwest, Gary, IN. She holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from The University of Chicago. Greenburg has exhibited internationally and is represented by Martha Schneider Gallery, Chicago, IL and JDC Gallery, San Diego, CA. A full-length monograph on her work, The Rockabillies was published by the Center for American Places in 2009″
