In a presentation of drawings and sculptures, Carl Suddath's discrete floor, wall and hanging works are installed in the gallery specifically.   Through this specificity the independent works interact with each other and the site, exploring formal, metaphorical and social relations.   Simultaneously dissonant and harmonious, these works create a space for reflection and interaction.

At the Edge: Innovative Art in Chicago

Chicago's art scene continues to be an expansive and energetic creative arena. As the city's artistic activity intensifies, Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois at Chicago encourages the most innovative aspects of that dynamism. Inquiry, experimentation and ingenuity are the basis of At the Edge .

Six one-person or artist-curated exhibitions taking a risk. At The Edge unveils newly created works that are difficult to show in commercial spaces, that extend a working artist's practice, and/or push the boundaries of art experimentation. This is the third year of annual At The Edge exhibitions intended to encourage the most innovative aspects of the Chicago art community's current dynamism. Special thanks to the jury that selected this year's At The Edge projects: Marc Fischer (Chicago and previous At the Edge artist), Barbara Wiesen (Director, Gahlberg Gallery, College of Dupage), Tricia Van Eck (Curatorial Assistant, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago), Julia Fish (UIC faculty member), and Lorelei Stewart (Director, Gallery 400). A triennial catalogue featuring all At The Edge projects and essays by area writers will be published in 2005.
