Around the Coyote, as a cultural partner of The Artist Project at Artropolis, brings you the Around the Coyote Video Lounge curated by LiveBox. ARTropolis is Chicago’s citywide celebration of arts, antiques and culture. The Video Lounge will open for the preview celebrations on April 24th, and run concurrently with Art Chicago through April 28, 2008.
Since the rise of You Tube and the use of video as a communication language, there has been talk about the death of video art. For many it is becoming increasing difficult to access the artistic quality of video art when the format represents entertainment and cheap reproduction. Very recently though, there has been talk of Video as “New.” New York times critic Holland Cotter wrote in January 2008, “At present it is shaped by a combination of pop fantasy, ingrained cybersmarts, neo tribalism and the angst-free take on contemporary life that marks attention-deficient internet culture.” Cotter was talking about a collection of rising video artists who were creating stunning original video. You Tube habitation and the like had liberated these artists to create fearless work. The ARTropolis Video Lounge is a celebration of video as a seminal medium for young artists today.

Utopia of Space: Post for Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republik
Curated by Latitia Norkeit and Maxim Neroda
How does one bring international art into a country which does not have the financial means required to organize an international exhibition? Latitia Norkeit and Maxim Neroda, two artists from Germany who currently live and work in Bishkek, met this challenge by creating a project in cooperation with the Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts, giving it the provocative title “Post for Kyrgyzstan.” For the past few months, packages have been arriving at the museum from artists all over the world. The exhibition will give visitors access to a wide variety of contemporary art otherwise not available, and also show that art does not necessarily involve expensive materials and immense effort.
Plans are underway for a new incarnation of the exhibition in Nürnberg and Berlin.

Opening Reception: Friday, March 14, 2008 6pm-9pm
Grounded: Photography and Our Contemporary Environment is an exhibition that brings together international photography and video art that focuses on the fundamental relationship between humans and nature and show the complex and dynamic interrelationship between humans and the earth, and to the environmental troubles we are currently confronted with. In partnership with the St. Louis Earth Day organization, the theme of the exhibition was developed through an ongoing discussion with about their interest in adding a collaborative and artistic component that directly involves the community. The group of photographers represented in Grounded are among an intensifying, global movement of artists who are addressing environmental concerns and critically engaging in issues like climate change, extinction, conservation, environmentally sensitive building and planning and waste management and believe that art can play a critical role in providing creative insight into these challenges. Grounded proposes art as a way of creating a better understanding about our relationship with nature and the environment and to explore the renewed role of contemporary art as a leading force in the global debate about the future of the planet. The Ellen Curlee Gallery specializes in contemporary fine art photography with a special emphasis on the work of international photographers.
The gallery is located at 1308-A Washington Ave. in
the Washington Ave Loft district. Hours are 11:00 am to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday. (314) 241-1299

Monumental
Directors Lounge 2008, Scala Theater, Berlin -
coinciding with the 58th Berlin International Film Festival
Cloudland will be screened in a program curated by Kim Collmer with assistance from Voyeur Collective.
Monumental shows work which in some ways both subverts and rallies behind the notion of monument. Often a singular object suggesting timelessness, the nature of monuments and their meaning becomes more complex as we see evidence of crumbling dynasties around us. The theme for the screening is loosely addressed with works about religious ritual, technology, unfilled journeys, political commemoration, home, pompous ritual, cultural history, and nature's glories. We will be screening an international group of artists. The running time is approximately 55 minutes.
