Creative Adaptation in the Visual Arts
The 2010 Kreft Juried Exhibition

The artwork submitted should be rooted in a “useable past” while addressing a new condition, a new technology, or a new era either formally or thematically. Prints, drawings, paintings, photographs, digital images, sculpture, etc. are eligible.
Only original artwork produced within the past five years will be accepted—reproductions are not permitted. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to apply.

Pooneh Maghazehe
Exhibit runs through December 6 • Kreft Center Gallery
Winner of last year’s Kreft Competition show, artist Pooneh Maghazehe returns for a solo exhibit.
Born into a Shiite Muslim family of Iranian descent and raised in Philadelphia, Maghazehe explores the delicate balance between bi-culturalism and assimilation in a combination of embroidery, all-American hot iron branding, Amish fashion, hipsters in leather, sacred Islamic numerology, and gangsta-bling.
At its core, her work responds to and adapts the tendency for the human psyche to subscribe to specific categorizations, or subcultures, in response to feelings of ambivalence, uncertainty and/or anxiety.
This gallery is free and open to the public.

Living With Art II:
Selected Works from the Collection of Bruce Leep
Exhibit ran September 1 - October 4 • Kreft Center Gallery
Friends of Concordia, Bruce and Mary Leep, have assembled a large and eclectic collection of art, focusing on contemporary and emerging artists. The exhibit at Concordia contained single works from a number of artists from Indiana and the Chicago area that are just coming into prominence.
A second part of the exhibit offered pieces considered "outsider art,” work from self-trained or untrained artists which often have a primitive quality but still make a powerful artistic statement.
The third part of the exhibit featured works by Chicago artist Miguel Malagon, who draws particularly on his Hispanic heritage to create striking images of contemporary life.
