3/11: Kimsooja - Dimensions of a Needle
Kimsooja’s work combines performance, video, sound and installation; addressing issues of the displaced self and others. Kimsooja tries to bring together a conceptual, logical and structural investigation of performance through immobility that inverts the notion of the artist as the predominant actor. Refusing to draw a systematic play of contrasts into any sort of tension charged dialectical relationship, Kimsooja instead tries to achieve a delicate equilibrium in which opposite poles are brought to the fore as a natural basis for harmony: inserting herself as both subject and object of the viewer’s gaze, an individual and an abstraction, a specific woman and every woman, instrument and actress, motionless and purposeful, balancing between presence and absence, wishing that the fact of what the eye sees is a truism.
Kimsooja is an internationally acclaimed Korean born (1957-) multi media artist who lives and works in New York, Paris, and Seoul. Solo exhibitions include P.S.1 /MOMA; Crystal Palace of Reina Sophia; Traveling solo show at Contemporary Art Museum of Lyon, Museum Kunst Palast Dusseldorf, and PAC Milan; Hirshhorn Museum; Vancouver Art Gallery; The Korea Pavilion, Venice Biennale; Miami Art Museum; Perm Contemporary Art Museum, Russia; La Fenice, Venice; Baltic Center; BOZAR Brussels; Kunsthalle Bern; Kunsthalle Vienna; the National Museum of Contemporary Art Korea for the Yong Gwang Nuclear Power Plant; Daegu Art Museum; Atelier Hermes Seoul; ICC, Tokyo; and CCA Kitakyushu.

Deadline 3/14: Art of Solidarity - Nicaragua Summer Intensive in Community Arts
Known as the land of lakes and volcanoes, Nicaragua has had a long tradition of struggling against the odds for its own cultural and national identity. The arts have always played a motivating role in reclaiming this unique identity, as seen by the cultural movement of musicians, painters, and writers that emerged from the 1979 revolution.
Art of Solidarity empowers travelers to grow as artists through immersion and exploration across this inspiring landscape, and to experience a collaborative process that can bridge cultural and historical divisions. Students will visit national monuments and museums such as the Plaza of the Revolution and the National Palace in the capital of Managua to learn about the history and culture of the region. They will also explore Lake Nicaragua by boat and gaze into the bottomless mouth of Volcano Masaya where indigenous people once worshipped and war refugees found a safe haven in its tunnels. In the mountain city of Estelí, the streets are lined with murals and live music reverberates off its walls. Students will connect with Nicaraguans through workshops, cultural events, and adventures to local rainforests and waterfalls. Northwest towards Honduras, the small rural town of Limay has ancient roots evident in the petroglyphs scattered along its majestic and winding river. Students will immerse themselves in the local culture living with host families and savoring all aspects of daily life-cooking, swimming in the river, hiking in the mountains, horseback riding, farming, and carving soapstone sculpture. In partnership with local artist groups, students will teach workshops to high school youth to create public art and digital media projects that culminate in a public art exhibition.
Program fees include all accommodations, all ground transportation within Nicaragua, and the majority of meals. Check out www.artofsolidarity.org.
Open to undergraduate and graduate students in all majors-18 years or older with a valid passport-who have completed at least one year of college. For all programs, credits can be applied to Studio Elective. For more information, or to inquire about scholarships, contact the School for Professional and Continuing Studies at spcs@mica.edu or 410-225-2219.
• $3,700 (does not include international airfare)
Includes tuition for 3 undergraduate credits in General Fine Arts or Video OR Studio Elective
• $5,260 (does not include international airfare)
Includes tuition for 3 undergraduate credits in General Fine Arts or Video OR Studio Elective + 3 undergraduate credits in Art History (with approval from the dept.)

Students will visit national monuments and museums such as the Plaza of the Revolution and the National Palace in the capital of Managua to learn about the history and culture of the region. They will also explore Lake Nicaragua by boat and gaze into the bottomless mouth of Volcano Masaya where indigenous people once worshipped and war refugees found a safe haven in its tunnels. In the mountain city of Estelí, the streets are lined with murals and live music reverberates off its walls. Students will connect with Nicaraguans through workshops, cultural events, and adventures to local rainforests and waterfalls. Northwest towards Honduras, the small rural town of Limay has ancient roots evident in the petroglyphs scattered along its majestic and winding river. Students will immerse themselves in the local culture living with host families and savoring all aspects of daily life-cooking, swimming in the river, hiking in the mountains, horseback riding, farming, and carving soapstone sculpture. In partnership with local artist groups, students will teach workshops to high school youth to create public art and digital media projects that culminate in a public art exhibition.
