Artist Selina Trepp will give a free public lecture. This event is presented in conjunction with her solo exhibition, Unprofessional Practices, and supported by University Galleries’ grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Illinois Arts Council, and Alice and Fannie Fell Trust. Additional support is provided by the Lori Baum and Aaron Henkelman University Galleries Community Fund.About the artistSelina Trepp’s work concerns itself with ecology, economy, and improvisation and how these concepts come together in practice. Finding a balance between the intuitive and conceptual is a goal. “If in doubt, be radical” is the best advice she ever received. Trepp works across mediums, combining performance, installation, painting, and sculpture to create intricate setups and analog processes that result in animations and installations. Trepp’s pieces live in the world: she installs them in public spaces and projects them in storefronts, plazas, and lobbies, as well as in galleries and museums. Her goal is for the work to create a mutual experience in which people can connect.In addition to her studio-based work, Trepp is active in the experimental music scene. In this context she sings and plays the videolah, her midi-controlled video synthesizer, creating projected animations in real time as visual music. She performs with a varying cast of collaborators and as one half of Spectralina, her long running audio-visual collaboration with Dan Bitney.Trepp’s stop-motion animation We Walk Together is permanently on view at O’Hare Airport’s International Arrivals Terminal. Woven, her site-specific hand-drawn animation responding to music composed by Dan Bitney, was projected on the 2.5-acre façade of Chicago’s Merchandise Mart in 2021. Trepp’s work has also been screened, exhibited, or performed at the Gene Siskel Film Center; Los Angeles Filmforum; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Centro Cultural, São Paulo; Centre cultural suisse, Paris; and Migros Museum of Contemporary Art, Zurich, among many others.
