Fresh VUE: Theaster Gates & Huguenot House
Theaster Gates: 12 Ballads for Huguenot House
Pictured here, 12 Ballads for Huguenot House was created by Chicago-based artist and urban planner Theaster Gates. His project for documenta(13) unites two disused buildings—one in Chicago and the other in Kassel, Germany—by dismantling parts of each to reuse in rebuilding the other. The spatial re-imagining is realized in twelve thematic “ballads.”
Theaster speaks about his work at American University, Washington, DC, on November 6, 2012. His talk is the second annual lecture in the new Kinetic: Conversations in Contemporary Art lecture series at the University. Fresh Art International makes history that night by recording the inaugural Fresh Talk LIVE podcast.

Conversations About Creativity in the 21st Century
In this episode, Chicago-based video performance artist Jefferson Pinder explains the importance of physical exertion in his work. Hear how his fascination with Houdini and street theater led to his new live performance series: The Escape Artist.
Jefferson makes his first appearance as the Escape Artist at 8:05pm, Sunday, December 4, 2011, in Salisbury, Maryland.

Chicago
Chicago was amazing! Spent time with Torkwase Dyson at Studio South Zero, her solar-powered workspace at The Dorchester Project. A video performance artist new to the city, Jefferson Pinder shared the skinny on his upcoming performance project. FAI will feature each of the artists on Art Talk in the next few weeks.
Explored the city with stops in Hyde Park, South Side, West Loop, Downtown, the Art Institute of Chicago and Millenium Park. No matter how difficult it must be to keep that sculpture shiny, Anish Kapoor's wondrous Cloud Gate is worth every effort. If you're headed to Chicago between now and 23 December, take time to see Unlimited Ocean, Wolfgang Laib's sublime installation in SAIC's Sullivan Galleries. This slide show offers a taste of my encounters.
