Grant Achatz was only 33 when an international food magazine called his restaurant the best in America. But then
Grant was diagnosed with stage IV tongue cancer, threatening his ability to taste, speak, and swallow. Several cancer
specialists recommended the surgical removal of up to 75% of his tongue. Fortunately, Grant contacted Dr. Everett
Vokes, an oncologist at the University of Chicago Medicine, for another opinion. Dr. Vokes recommended a new
approach combining chemotherapy and radiation. In just a few short months, Grant’s cancer was in full remission,
with no need for tongue surgery. He was ecstatic. Because to Grant, cutting out his tongue would have been like
cutting out his heart. To learn more or make an appointment, call 1-888-824-0200, go to uchospitals.edu, or visit
the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center at our Hyde Park campus or at Silver Cross Hospital.

The Renaissance Society presents a newly
commissioned body of work by Peter
Wächtler. The Brussels-based artist’s
practice is concerned with narrative and
spans the disciplines of writing, filmmaking,

the tension between the familiar and the
uncanny as it personifies the inanimate,
anthropomorphizes the animal, and
distorts the human.

Fri, Jan 22–Sun, Mar 13, 2016
Reception: Fri, Jan 22, 6–8pm
Logan Center Gallery
Unsuspending Disbelief questions the
notion of a straightforward relationship
between the photograph, what it
depicts, and what it “means.” Drawing
on traditional categories of picture
making, from portraits of a beloved,
to documentary and architectural
photography, this exhibition considers
strategies of recontextualization that
displace the authority of the camera’s
gaze. Featuring the work of ten
contemporary international artists, the
exhibition is curated by Laura Letinsky,
Professor, Department of Visual Arts.
Free.
Presented by Logan Center Exhibitions

Our Work: Modern Jobs—Ancient Origins
Through Sun, Apr 24, 2016
Photos by Jason Reblando pose the
question: how much of the past lives on
today? This series of portraits reveals that
many of today’s professions originated
in the Middle East thousands of years
ago. Reblando’s images pair an artifact
that documents the origins of a specific
profession with a person who, millennia
later, pursues that same job. These
surprising connections are reminders
of the intelligence, resourcefulness, and
inventiveness of our ancestors.
Museum.
Persepolis: Images of an Empire
Through Sun, Sep 11, 2016
This exhibition presents large-format
photographs of the ruins of one of the
greatest dynastic centers of antiquity built
at the height of the Achaemenid Persian
Empire (550–330 BC). The photographs,
taken during the Oriental Institute’s Persian
Expedition (1931–1939), record the forests
of columns, monumental audience halls,
and stone relief carvings of the people who
came from all corners of the empire to
honor the Persian king.

Monster Roster:
Existentialist Art in
Postwar Chicago
Thu, Feb 11–Sun, Jun 12, 2016
Smart Museum of Art
This is the first major exhibition to
examine the history and impact
of the Monster Roster, which has
been overlooked despite being one
of the most important Midwestern
contributions to the history of
American art. It examines the complex
aesthetics and personal styles of
Golub and his compatriots—including
Cosmo Campoli, June Leaf, Dominick
Di Meo, Seymour Rosofsky, and Nancy
Spero, among others—and uncovers
the Monster Roster’s relationships with
preceding generations of Chicago
artists and influences on the wellknown Chicago Imagists who followed.
Monster Roster brings together
approximately 60 major paintings and
sculpture from the Smart Museum
and other major public and private
collections to provide the authoritative
account of the movement, from the
formation of Exhibition Momentum
in 1948 to the group’s dispersal in the
mid-1960s. A fully illustrated catalogue
will accompany the exhibition.
Curated by John Corbett and Jim Dempsey,
with coordinating support from Smart Museum
Curator of Contemporary Art Jessica Moss and
Smart Museum Senior Curator Richard A. Born,
the exhibition features work by Robert Barnes,
Don Baum, Fred Berger, Cosmo Campoli,
George Cohen, Dominick Di Meo, Leon Golub,
Theodore Halkin, June Leaf, Irving Petlin,
Seymour Rosofsky, Franz Schulze, Nancy Spero,
Evelyn Statsinger, and H. C. Westermann.

collaborations with Steve Martin.
Tilda Swinton: Shape-Shifting Sylph of
the Silver Screen
Thursdays, Jan 7–Mar 3, 7pm
Tilda Swinton is like no other actress in
major motion pictures today. No one else
is more openly gender-bending, seems
less affected by industry beauty standards,
or acts with more unsettling intensity.
This retrospective traces her career as
she shape-shifts almost unrecognizably
through roles and genres—in her words,
“walking the tightrope of identity, of sexual
identity, of gender identity.” Highlights
include Orlando, Michael Clayton, and
Snowpiercer.
Presented by Doc Films and the Nicholson
Center for British Studies.

Survey of 1960s Horror
Thursdays, Jan 7–Mar 10, varying start times

replete with ghosts (The Haunting), zombies
(Night of the Living Dead), the occult
(Rosemary’s Baby), and more. General $5/film, $30 quarterly pass

(2013) marks its theatrical premiere and
is held in conjunction with his current
Renaissance Society exhibition. Originally
displayed as part of McCarthy’s Park
Avenue Armory installation, it was
described by Holland Cotter in The
New York Times as “satire framed in the
language of Disney, Duchamp, 1950s
suburbia, 21st-century greed and Craigslist
pornography. The piece is grand and gross,
with ambushing flashes of beauty and an X
rating.” (2013, 7 hours)

the Film Studies Center.
Experimental Cinema in Eastern
Europe: Medium Experiments
Fri, Jan 29, 7pm
Eager to explore alternatives to traditional
filmmaking, artists in Eastern Europe
risked arrest to gain access to state-owned
video equipment. From the mid 1970s to
early 1980s, video expanded access to art
and society, documenting performance
art and producing politically subversive
reportage. This presentation includes films
from two of the most important media
innovators from the former East, Gábor
Bódy (Hungary) and Zbigniew Rybczyński
(Poland). (87 minutes, digital video)

represents the truest form of Surrealist
filmmaking. By the painstaking patience
of the artists, moments between moments
are brought to life on screen one frame at a
time. This series features some of the most
fantastic works of stop motion animation
across a broad range of techniques,
covering classics (The Tale of the Fox,
Fantastic Planet) and recent favorites
(Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the WereRabbit) alike.
Experimental Cinema in Eastern
Europe: Documentaries with a
Human Face
Introduction by Zoran Samardzija
(Columbia College Chicago)
Fri, Jan 15, 7pm
Young Eastern European filmmakers
of the 50s and 60s turned to
documentary filmmaking to engage
their subjects and create work that
advocated for social and political
reform. Including films by Želimir
Žilnik from the former Yugoslavia,
Sándor Sára (Hungary), and Helena
Włodarczyk (Poland), this program
demonstrates how documentaries
from Eastern Europe engaged social
problems and presented more intimate
and respectful depictions of individuals
and everyday people. (79 minutes,
digital video)

Eric A. Stanley and Chris Vargas:
Criminal Queers
Thu, Feb 25, 7pm
Visualizing a radical trans/queer struggle
against the prison industrial complex and
toward a world without walls, this film
imagines what spaces might be opened up
if crowbars, wigs, and metal files become
tools for transformation. It expands our
collective liberation by working to abolish
the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and
desires are confined. Q&A with filmmakers
Stanley and Vargas after the screening.
(2013, DVD, 70 min)

The Iron Ministry with director
J.P. Sniadecki
Fri, Feb 26, 7pm
Filmed over three years on China’s
railways, J. P. Sniadecki’s documentary
traces the vast interiors of a country on
the move: flesh and metal, clangs and
squeals, light and dark, language and
gesture. Scores of rail journeys come
together into one, capturing the thrills
and anxieties of social and technological
transformation. This film immerses
audiences in fleeting relationships and
uneasy encounters between humans
and machines on what will soon be the
world’s largest railway network. (USA,
83 minutes, DCP)

Fri, Mar 4, 7pm
For many, Peter Anton’s house embodies
an end-of-life nightmare, but for
filmmakers Dan Rybicky and Aaron
Wickenden, Anton’s home is a treasure
trove. The film’s remarkable journey follows
a gifted artist through startling twists and
turns, providing enough human drama for
a season of soap operas, plus insights into
mental illness, aging in America, and the
redemptive power of art. (USA, 2014, 93

King Lear Screening Party
Sun, Mar 6, 2pm and 7pm
In 1970–71, two great directors were

common and much that sets them apart.
This event will allow those with enough
stamina to see both of these films in
one day (though not everyone need see
both). There will be a discussion after
each film led by Richard Strier, Professor
Emeritus in English at the University of
Chicago. Pizza between the films will be
provided.

In his memoir Words Without Music, Glass credited his
nights spent reading in the University’s Harper Library
as providing the basis for his trilogy of autobiographical
operas—Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha, and Akhnaten—
and said that the “impact of such original and professional
researchers and academicians” at the University was
“enormous” during his formative years.
