 | Michael Theodore: Field Theory
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 1*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present 'Field Theory,' a solo exhibition of the work of Michael Theodore. While scientists build mathematical models to better explain the mechanistic structure of the universe, musician and new media artist Michael Theodore builds models in software and hardware to better explore perceptual sensations. Using various media Theodore creates dynamic fields of color, light, and sound that are inspired by observation and experiences of the natural world. In 'Field Theory' Theodore explores the two seemingly contradictory impulses that drive his work as an artist. The first is the need to experience as deeply as possible the continuous flood of sounds, shapes, and colors streaming in from the world around him. The second is the attempt to grab onto some small piece of this magic and distill it into coded instructions that a machine can understand.
Theodore was born and raised in New York City, and joined the faculty of the University of Colorado College of Music in 1998, where he is an Associate Professor of Music Composition and Technology, and the Director of the ATLAS Center for Media, Arts and Performance. Theodore's technology-informed work with sound, visual media or both has been presented across the United States, and in Mexico, Trinidad y Tobago, Greece, Spain, Germany, Sweden, France, Australia, Japan, and China. An active collaborator, Theodore has created a number of pieces with performance artist Michelle Ellsworth, has performed in venues such as the Newport Folk Festival with punk-folk artist Tim Eriksen, and recently released a recording with Glen Whitehead(Psychoangelo/Panauromni) that received airplay on the BBC, and a "Top Ten Classical Music Recordings of 2010" pick from Timeout Chicago. He earned his BA from Amherst College, his MM from Yale School of Music and his PhD from the University of California, San Diego.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum, is a three-part series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE will feature solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado new media artists whose work charts new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
The exhibition is generously supported in part by the NBT Charitable Trust, the HBB Foundation, Wayne F. Yakes, MD, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees. Additional support for the exhibition was provided by a CU Innovative Seed Grant and the ATLAS Institute.

 | The Anxiety of Influence: Selections from the CU Art Museum's Ceramics Collection
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum and Kim Dickey, Professor, Department of Art and Art History, University of Colorado Boulder
Drawing on Harold Bloom's seminal work of poetic criticism, "The Anxiety of Influence," to interpret the significant role that "influence" plays within the global history, culture, and tradition of ceramics, this exhibition will present Modern and Contemporary Ceramics as well as selected historic works from the CU Art Museum's permanent collection. The exhibition will feature major pieces by Scott Chamberlin, Rick Dillingham, Arthur Gonzalez, Wayne Higby, Anne Kraus, Graham Marks, Jim Melchert, Linda Sikora, Suo Tan, Peter Voulkos, Betty Woodman and many others. The exhibition will also include works on paper by noted ceramic artists such as Robert Arneson and Ken Price to further explore the conceptual, aesthetic, and methodological influences on Modern and Contemporary ceramic artists. While many previous exhibitions have chronicled the decorative and technological influences of various ceramic traditions as they travelled across Eastern and Western cultures, this exhibition is the first to apply Bloom's complicated post-Freudian theories of "influence" to the realm of ceramics and its poetics, in order to construct a more complex understanding of the medium.

Please join us on Monday, June 25th in ATLAS 100 for a special ATLAS Speaker Series featuring CU Faculty members and artists Michael Theodore and Mark Amerika. Both artists create work that focuses on the interaction of technology, art, and humanity. During the talk from 4:00 to 4:45pm, they will discuss their current projects and upcoming exhibitions. Following the talk, there will be a casual reception in the ATLAS Lobby. At 5:30pm, Michael Theodore will give a guided tour of his solo exhibition, ‘Michael Theodore: Field Theory’ at the CU Art Museum. This event is free and open to the public.
Michael Theodore, CU Professor of the College of Music and Director of

Theory,' an exhibit which will be featured as part of the ART/TEKNE
series of the CU Art Museum. The series features solo-exhibitions of
Colorado new media artists whose work charts new relationships between
technology, aesthetics and society. While scientists build mathematical models to better explain the
mechanistic structure of the universe, musician and new media artist
Michael Theodore builds models in software and hardware to better
explore perceptual sensations. Theodore creates dynamic fields of color,
light and sound inspired by observations and experiences of the natural
world using a variety of media and technologies.
Mark Amerika, CU Professor of Art and Art History
and Research Fellow at the ATLAS Institute, will discuss the Museum of
Glitch Aesthetics (MOGA), a new artwork commissioned by the Abandon
Normal Devices (based in England). MOGA tells the story of The Artist 2.0, an online persona whose personal
mythology and body of digital artworks are rapidly being canonized into
the annals of art history. MOGA will feature a wide array of artworks
intentionally corrupted by technological processes, including digital
video art, still images, game design, sound art and electronic
literature. See Mark Amerika's video trailer at glitchmuseum.com plus additional artworks to be released June 22.

| | Michael Theodore: Field Theory
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
ART/TEKNE: Part 1*
The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to present 'Field Theory,' a solo exhibition of the work of Michael Theodore. While scientists build mathematical models to better explain the mechanistic structure of the universe, musician and new media artist Michael Theodore builds models in software and hardware to better explore perceptual sensations. Using various media Theodore creates dynamic fields of color, light, and sound that are inspired by observation and experiences of the natural world. In 'Field Theory' Theodore explores the two seemingly contradictory impulses that drive his work as an artist. The first is the need to experience as deeply as possible the continuous flood of sounds, shapes, and colors streaming in from the world around him. The second is the attempt to grab onto some small piece of this magic and distill it into coded instructions that a machine can understand.
Theodore was born and raised in New York City, and joined the faculty of the University of Colorado College of Music in 1998, where he is an Associate Professor of Music Composition and Technology, and the Director of the ATLAS Center for Media, Arts and Performance. Theodore's technology-informed work with sound, visual media or both has been presented across the United States, and in Mexico, Trinidad y Tobago, Greece, Spain, Germany, Sweden, France, Australia, Japan, and China. An active collaborator, Theodore has created a number of pieces with performance artist Michelle Ellsworth, has performed in venues such as the Newport Folk Festival with punk-folk artist Tim Eriksen, and recently released a recording with Glen Whitehead(Psychoangelo/Panauromni) that received airplay on the BBC, and a "Top Ten Classical Music Recordings of 2010" pick from Timeout Chicago. He earned his BA from Amherst College, his MM from Yale School of Music and his PhD from the University of California, San Diego.
*The ART/TEKNE series, curated by Lisa Tamiris Becker, Director, CU Art Museum, is a three-part series planned for the summers of 2012-2014. ART/TEKNE will feature solo-exhibitions of internationally known Colorado new media artists whose work charts new relationships between technology, aesthetics, and society.
The exhibition is generously supported in part by the NBT Charitable Trust, the HBB Foundation, Wayne F. Yakes, MD, the CU Art Museum benefactors and members, as well as by the CU Boulder Student Arts and Cultural Enrichment (ACE) fees. Additional support for the exhibition was provided by a CU Innovative Seed Grant and the ATLAS Institute.
