<blockquote>Through her pointed and deftly edited
video installations, Candice Breitz looks at the stereotypes and
visual conventions found in films and popular culture. Breitz's videos
often explore the relationship between the god-like presence of pop
stars, actors and their awestruck fans, and examine the impact of
popular culture in a global context and the important role of spoken
language in relation to how we are perceived.<br>

</blockquote>
<blockquote><font face="Verdana" size="-2" color="#000000">Hybrid Realities brings together artists using
classical or figurative imagery to negotiate contemporary reality.
Many of the participating artists are interested in hybridizing the
vast encyclopedia of available images, reworking influences from art
history, fairy tales, low art, and advertising culture, which combined
with technical virtuosity can result in a hybrid fiction, a
post-surrealist, neo-romantic, or futuristic space connected by the
urgency of narrative.</font><br>

oldest public programs of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Formalized in 1951 with the establishment of an endowed fund by Flora
Mayer Witkowsky, the Visiting Artists Program hosts public
presentations by artists, designers, and scholars each year in
lectures, symposia, performances, and screenings. It is a decidedly
eclectic program that showcases artists working in all media including
sound, video, performance, poetry, painting, and independent film, in
addition to significant curators, critics, and art historians.<br>
<br>
The primary mission of the Visiting Artists Program is to educate and
foster a greater understanding and appreciation of contemporary art
through discourse. VAP maintains a long-standing commitment to ethnic
and gender diversity and has been at the forefront of the movement
toward a more socially engaged and theoretically informed aesthetic
dialogue.</font></a></blockquote>
