From the President

THIS PA S T summer, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) did something unprecedented in its 152year history. We successfully completed our first-ever School-only fundraising campaign. Beautiful/Work: The Campaign for SAIC began four years ago, raising funds for student scholarships and faculty support. We ended the campaign having raised $55 million, 10 percent over goal, helping ensure that SAIC continues to be a home for the artists, designers, and scholars who are influential in shaping our shared society. This issue of School of the Art Institute of Chicago magazine celebrates the success of the campaign and underscores the importance of the work we do. Artists and designers are essential because they explore our world, question it, reframe our understanding, and build new approaches to some of our greatest challenges. SAIC has long been at the center of educating those who make and interpret our culture, and this issue’s feature article includes reflections on Beautiful/ Work from 55 SAIC students, faculty, staff, alums, friends, and supporters who believe in the School and its mission. I am honored to have my own

thoughts included among them, and I hope you find the conviction in these voices as thrilling, fulfilling, and inspiring as I do. But if you need more convincing, this magazine also features plenty more reasons why SAIC is so remarkable. For example, another recent first for SAIC is our commissionership, with our partner the University of Chicago, of the US Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. The prescient and urgent investigation we presented there, Dimensions of Citizenship, explores how artists and designers envision what it means to be a citizen today. The photo essay in this issue captures the exhibition, which was shaped by a team of curators, exhibitors, and administrators, including many members of the School community, such as Assistant Professor Ann Lui, one of the curators, and Lecturer Iker Gil, the associate curator, as well as exhibitors Jeanne Gang (HON 2013), Associate Professor Andres L. Hernandez (MA 2004), and the 2018–19 Bill and Stephanie Sick Distinguished Visiting Professor Amanda Williams.

designers as they just begin to understand the potential of their talent. This three-year bridge program helps prepare Chicago Public Schools secondary students for further study at SAIC or another college. These and the other stories included in this issue highlight the important role SAIC plays in fostering the work of artists, designers, and scholars and the important role so many of you have played in enabling the School’s work to continue. The Donor Honor Roll, recognizing the more than 2,100 contributors to Beautiful/Work, is a testament to a widespread belief in the power artists, designers, and scholars have in making our world a better place and the essential contribution SAIC has had, and will continue to have, in educating them.

Rana Siegel’s Chicago

MY CHI CAGO

Chicago Cultural Center

Rana Siegel (MFA 2008) likes to move. And touch. And smell. As a fiber artist and senior administrative director for the Ceramics, Performance, Printmedia, Photography, and Sculpture departments at SAIC, she’s very hands-on—and it shows in how she experiences the city. If there’s a place where she gets to be tactile and imaginative, Siegel is there. This is her Chicago.

G RO CERY RUN S I like to spend hours driving all over the city buying great food because Chicago offers such a variety of ethnic cuisines and mom-and-pop shops. I like to start at Floriole because they make the best baguettes— they’re just a great bakery in general. Then I might hit Joong Boo Market or Kurowski’s, which has an awesome variety of really affordable dried sausages. Paulina Meat Market is so beautiful, and the butchers are kind of sassy and funny, too. You gotta do your research.

CHI CAG O C U LT U R A L C E NTE R

When I lived in Philadelphia, I used to order online from them, and I didn’t know where they were located. After I moved to Chicago, my mind was blown that they were right up Milwaukee Avenue. They have anything from science kits to geodes. If you go fishing, they have everything. There’s weird pencils and glass beakers and wires and motors and all different varieties of duct tape. It’s the most random, yet oddly specific, store you could possibly think of.

It’s like a big manor house. Some rooms are so grand, with vaulted ceilings and big, cathedral-like windows. But there are some small, intimate spaces, too—corridors where people have hosted performances and a courtyard with wooden suspended bridges and platforms, like stage sets. There’s a drama to it that I think adds definition to work shown there. It’s a great place to put on your headphones and meander.

CA LU M E T FISHE RIE S It’s an old-school smoked fish shack. You can’t eat there; so I get fried scallops and a Dr. Pepper and drive to the Calumet Beach a few blocks down. You can take your fish and sit on sand, grass, or big boulders—sit anywhere!—and look back at downtown. Then driving back north along Lake Shore Drive, something about that view is my favorite. It just highlights the best of what Chicago looks like. ▪ To hear a podcast of this and other My Chicago interviews, visit saic.edu/magazine.

SAIC ’S CO LLE GE A R TS ACCE S S PRO GR AM (CAAP), a three-year college bridge program designed for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students, is already a fruitful outcome of Beautiful/ Work: The Campaign for SAIC. CAAP’s legacy will be felt for decades as its young artists forge ahead through college and their careers. For CAAP student Muang Htay, the route to Chicago was fraught with displacement and uncertainty. He realized early that art was his means of enduring. “I grew up in the United Nations refugee camp in Thailand, and my family moved to Chicago in 2008 when I was 8,” Htay recalls. “When I was living in Thailand as a political

refugee, we were surrounded by jungle, and a lot of the art I encountered was either inspired by nature or political conflicts. I would watch films to escape the reality around me.” Now a graduating senior, Htay plans to study Fashion Design at SAIC. Thanks to CAAP, he has a leg up on the art-making process. “CAAP has matured me as both an artist and an audience,” he says. “I am so grateful for the resources CAAP has provided over the years; it has presented me with many artistic jobs and careers. As a student that will be attending SAIC this fall, I

am more than prepared for the school environment.” The CAAP program began in collaboration with CPS and with a generous gift from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation. Students take classes tuition free through the School’s Early College Program, with generous scholarships provided to cover costs, academic and financial advising, and mentorship for successful admission to SAIC or other institutions of higher education. The program has been sustained with additional gifts from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation, the Grainger Foundation, and Northern Trust, among others. So far 29 students have completed the program, and all have gone on to college.

Mitch Morales, an 18-yearold Pilsen-based artist, says that CAAP taught her how to be confident as an artist. “It’s not just about presenting my work to others, but also about being confident in the process of art making. I sometimes don’t understand when other students at my high school stress a great deal as they begin a new piece,” she says. “I’ve found myself getting into that flow easily—knowing what to do and why I’m doing it.” ▪ The CAAP program is part of Continuing Studies at SAIC.

Expert Advice from Amy Lawson Smeed (BFA 1997)

NE XUS CAREE R Conversations hosted by SAIC’s Career and Professional Experience (CAPX), gives students a chance to interact with alumni and creative professionals about their career journeys. Amy Lawson Smeed (BFA 1997), who will be visiting campus this fall, was the first woman head of animation in Disney history when she led the team for Moana. Smeed has been working at Disney Studios for 20 years, animating movie favorites such as Frozen, Wreck-it-Ralph, and Tangled. This is an excerpt from our conversation with her. What did you study at SAIC? I took an animation course at SAIC, and I totally fell in love with it. Prior to that, my passion was painting, so I had taken lots of life drawing and painting classes. I was also taking graphic design courses because I loved design and was unsure of the job possibilities in animation. Something I really liked about the School was you could try different art disciplines and not be penalized.

Is there a discipline that you wish you had studied or experimented with at SAIC? I would have focused more on filmmaking overall. I would love to know more about the art of story, cinematography, and writing.

trying to prove myself and learning from the artists around me. Because I was in the animation department, I met a lot of animators, and I would ask for critiques on my work. I learned so much through that process.

How did you come to work for Disney Studios right out of school? After I graduated college, I was hoping to get my foot in the door at Disney any way I could. I realized my reel was probably not strong enough to get a job as an animator. I went to a conference in California called SIGGRAPH. I met [someone] who worked for Disney and stayed in contact with him. He told me a position was available in their scene setup department. I interviewed and was hired for the production Dinosaur. I’m still learning today, and I’ve been at this studio for about 20 years, animating for about 16 of them.

When they started their trainee program, I applied, got that position, and was assigned an official mentor. I was promoted after about three months to assistant animator and shortly after that to full animator. The first project that I became an animator on was Chicken Little.

How did you keep yourself motivated while you were working your way up to animation? It took me around four years to get the animator position. After work, I would stay late and create animation tests,

What is the most rewarding part of your job? I love breathing life into the characters we create. One of the most important parts of my job is having the audience connect with our characters. It’s very special when we hear from the community about how our characters affect their lives. ▪ Visit saic.edu/careers to learn more about SAIC’s career programs and find out how to become one of our experts.

SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO

B OOK S 2018 is the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I’m becoming a bit obsessed with it—I’ve read it five times. Frankenstein is interesting for an artist to read because it’s about the maker’s relationship to his creation before, during, and after. It’s about ethics; it’s about love; and it’s about being terrified of both the power of what you can make and what you really want. In a world of lost-andfound, sometimes the lost finds you. F OOD When I was a kid, my mom taught me to sew and how to can food like jam,

tomatoes, and pickles. Ever since I taught the class Seeing Through the Garden in Japan with Professor Alan Labb, I’ve been into making Japanesestyle pickles. I’m obsessed. The kind I’ve been making lately are red radish pickles with ginger, cardamom, garlic, and chilies. I like ’em hot.

THI N K I NG I’m thinking about life in the trees. I just bought a cabin in the Appalachian Mountains, and I plan to build a studio there. As I fall asleep, I imagine the landscape, and I plant gardens and design

structures in my head. There are a lot of interesting features including rare mountain bogs and unusual wildlife like bobcats, luna moths, and hellbenders (Look that one up!). Being in the woods really feeds me. The cabin is in an international dark sky reserve, so you have a clear view of the stars and celestial events like meteor showers. It’s really amazing to be in the trees; I feel like it’s a human right, maybe a forgotten one. I think: What are we doing to make that accessible to everyone? ▪

In the Museum with Jennifer Lee Zao Wou-Ki, Pink Composition

Zao Wou-Ki, Pink Composition (Composition en rose), 1951, oil on canvas, 87 × 114.3 cm (34 ½ × 45 in.), without frame

CHINE SE CAL LI GR APHI C S TROK E S and modernist abstractions coalesce into Zao Wou-Ki’s landscape Pink Composition (Composition en rose) in the Art Institute of Chicago museum’s modern and contemporary art collection. Figures etched into paint reveal “the rough line of a moon, of a sun, of mountains in the distance, thatched cottages, the birds themselves, some trees, maybe some boats, then what looks like a human figure to the left, and a couple of animals—dogs or wolves—that are either playing or preying,” says Assistant Professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism Jennifer Dorothy Lee. Zao painted Pink Composition shortly after he left Shanghai to work as an artist in Paris. His works from this era fall into the category of modernist abstraction, yet his training in traditional Chinese painting is apparent through the figurative elements. The tension between Zao’s inclusion in the Western modernist canon as a French painter and his Chinese identity make his work difficult to characterize. This is exactly why Lee chooses to teach this era of Zao’s work to her undergraduate students.

“For some people, he’s a Chinese diaspora painter. For other people, he’ll always be a Chinese painter that nonetheless really does a kind of Western modernism. For other people, I think he is more or less a French painter,” she explains. Lee says that some students have difficulty engaging with midcentury modernist painting because it feels extremely distant from them. But the complexity of Zao’s identities and the placement of his works in art history resonate with many of the international—and especially Chinese—students in Lee’s courses. The ways that Zao is characterized and the way that he presented himself inspire students to question their own relationships to their national identities and what it means to study art in an American school. Students might ask themselves: “Am I a transnational citizen of the world? How do I position myself? How does that impact the kind of style I adopt?” ▪

Here is the story of the campaign in the voices of 55 people who helped make it happen.

It was a simple yet daunting idea with a profound impact: the School would embark on its first-ever significant fundraising campaign dedicated solely to raising money for student scholarships and faculty resources. The campaign’s goal of $50 million would support the very people who reimagine our city and the world through their creative talent, entrepreneurial energy, and cultural leadership.

separate from society. Rather, the artist is a citizen with the same obligation as every other citizen: to use their expertise to participate in the world. What is unique about the role of the artist and designer is that their expertise has to do with vision, meaning both what we look at aesthetically and the meaning that artists reveal. The visionary creativity of artists—to be able to see something before it is there— is essential to how humanity solves its problems.

How do scholarships transform students’ lives?

I’ve heard stories from many artists who might not have been able to go to SAIC at all had it not been for a scholarship grant. What have the artists and designers at SAIC taught you?

Most significantly, creating requires being brave and being open. It does not always require genius. It requires intense dedication.

What makes SAIC a world leader in art and design education? The passion

Scholarships make it easier for students to stay focused on their studies without having to work outside jobs. I am a purist when it comes to education. When you are in school, you should be allowed to listen and learn full-time. “The best thing about practicing art in Chicago is the balance the hulking city provides, where artists are respected, but not venerated, which allows them to continue to innovate and improvise.”

Why Chicago? Because Chicago is closer to the middle of the country than the coasts, it becomes a vortex of diverse winds of influence and a generator of innovative hybrid forms and in-between practices. What have your students taught you? My students have

DIMENSIONS OF CITIZENSHIP What does it mean to be a citizen today? This question is at the heart of the US Pavilion’s Dimensions of Citizenship exhibition at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. The US State Department selected SAIC and the University of Chicago (UChicago) to commission the exhibition, which highlights the urgent need for architects and designers to envision citizenship in today’s uncertain landscape. “Questions of belonging, of who should be included, and how, are posed with every athlete taking a knee, every #metoo, every presidential tweet, and every protest sign or fist raised,” the curators state. US Pavilion Curators Niall Atkinson, associate professor at UChicago; Ann Lui, assistant professor at SAIC; Mimi Zeiger, an independent critic, editor, curator, and educator; and Associate Curator Iker Gil, lecturer at SAIC, invited

architecture and design teams to create seven installations, each exploring a different scale of citizenship. Twenty SAIC students also showed their work in Venice at Design Artist Citizen Site: Exploring Belonging, the culminating exhibition of a course taught by Lui and Gil. Dimensions of Citizenship opened to many positive reviews. Metropolis noted the exhibition “successfully deconstructs the spaces and mechanisms of citizenship at a time when its meaning holds profound and immediate consequences for many,” while Curbed praised the curators for pulling off a “masterstroke,” calling the exhibition “a profound, urgent entreaty and a faint but persistent signal of hope.” Dimensions of Citizenship and its programs, Citizen Lab and CitizenSHIP, run through November 2018.

ON SAIC.EDU/MAGAZINE The School of the Art Institute of Chicago magazine highlights the immeasurable impact artists and designers make on our communities and our world. In their own voices, 55 students, alumni, faculty, and business and cultural leaders reflect on the importance of an art and design education through their support of Beautiful/Work: The Campaign for SAIC. As commissioner of the US Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, SAIC partnered with the University of Chicago to examine the concept of citizenship through seven scales: citizen, civitas, region, nation, globe, network, and cosmos. In concert with her exhibition at Sullivan Galleries, Safehouse, which looks at the sensorial unconscious of the Puerto Rican anticolonial movement, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz (MFA 1997) participates in an online-only Q&A for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago magazine.
