11 November - 3 February 2024 - Johanna Hedva:
IF YOU'RE READING THIS, I'M ALREADY DEAD
The exhibition reaches into the different kinds of agencies that are found in bodies otherwise thought to have none, bodies whose materiality is considered inert or dead. The materials in the exhibition complicate and refuse normative standards of how we understand a “thing” to be “alive” or not. They include AI used to generate images and text, as well as to produce vocal clones based on Hedva’s voice; raw audio recordings of the sun, aurora borealis, and the Mars Rover; sonifications of black holes and nebulae; handblown glass and black goo; urethral sounding rods; a pelvis bone; the Saros Cycle; Metal Zones; and the artist’s own hair, blood, and saliva. The entanglements of these together affect a standalone cosmos that limns the political as much as the mystical stakes of how matter—especially the kind considered invaluable according to dominant capitalist ideologies—can be brought to, sustained through, and foreclosed from life.

9 September - 11 November 2023 - Disrupt And Resist : A Love Letter To The Disability Community On What Showing Up For Each Other Can Be
Curated by Alissa Maru and Jen White Johnson
An exhibition of 7 contemporary disabled designers and artists engaging in disability advocacy through creative resistance and anti-ableist disruption. This exhibition amplifies the ways disabled artists show up for themselves and each other. Shining a light on the joy of their own lived experience, the exhibition amplifies the mission of exploring accessibility, disability justice, radical joy, belonging, and inclusivity. Disrupt and resist means to advocate for access-centered protest, dismantling the desire for a non-disabled body. To honor the unique beauty of each individual, celebrating the diversity of minds and bodies that enrich our world. To proudly identify as disabled and neurodivergent, using our art and activism as tools for empowerment and transformation.

Falling on Deaf Ears by Los Angeles-based artist Julio Sims is a free-standing folding screen mural, measuring 6' high x 22' long x 1' deep, depicting individuals using American Sign Language (ASL) to express the following concept: “What if a tree falls and no one hears?” The artwork will be installed facing the 22' length of windows to the left of the building’s entrance and will be viewable from outside the building. The pleated surfaces will display three sets of dual images conveying each ASL sign creating a lenticular effect of the illusion of movement for pedestrian passersby.

1 September - 19 November 2023 - Mari Katayama: Mine and Yours
Curated by
Felix Hoffmann.
At the core of Katayama’s practice is living everyday within her own body, which she uses as a living sculpture, mannequin, and a lens through which to reflect society. The combination of Katayama’s hand-sewn objects, sculptural pieces, and photography challenges viewers to question the body and its complex relationship with the surrounding environment and society.

The group exhibition shows the mutual dependencies that exist between people, societies, and institutions. The fourteen artists offer critical, solution-oriented perspectives on social relationships and power structures. At its heart lie individual and collective experiences of disability, illness and healing. The desire for justice, the pressing need for resistance and the importance of creativity in the charged zone between vulnerability and resilience are central to their works.

14 October - 11 November 2023 - Jay Afrisando: is sound is tactile is visual is sound is
Exhibition closing and participatory workshop: Saturday, November 11, 3:00-4:00pm CST
Curb Appeal Gallery is pleased to announce our third exhibition Jay Afrisando: is sound is tactile is visual is sound is. This exhibition marks the Chicago debut of two recent works by Afrisando: In Which to Trust? (2022) and Embodied Music Club (2023), both of which invite audiences to rethink their understanding of and relationship to sound. Using open captioning as a creative accommodation, the 5-channel film installation In Which to Trust? presents five aurally diverse listeners’ differing experiences of audio. Embodied Music Club comprises a series of raised, tactile graphic scores and recorded audio interpretations of those scores created by four visually diverse people. Creative accommodations accompany the scores, including sound captioning in both visual and Braille formats. At the exhibition closing on Saturday, November 11, Afrisando will host a workshop at Curb Appeal inviting visitors to the gallery to interpret and record their own sound scores as part of the growing archive generated by Embodied Music Club.

30 September 2023 - 13 January 2024 - Experiments in Art, Access and Technology, or E.A.A.T.
Curated by Vanessa Chang and Lindsey D Felt. Exhibition chronicles the emergence of access as an animating principle of art, science, and technology. Invoking the field’s ethos of experimentation and collaboration, E.A.A.T. prototypes a new program that links communities, institutions, and ways of knowing through practices of creative access. The E.A.A.T. exhibition introduces methods in art and technology that arise from—and viscerally embody—lived experiences of disability. Meesh Fradkin, Carmen Papalia, Josephine Sales, Andy Slater, and Olivia Ting premiere new work developed in Leonardo CripTech Incubator, an art and technology fellowship for disability innovation. These works span spatial audio, surveillance technologies, gaming, haptics and auditory prostheses. E.A.A.T. artists deploy access as a creative form, a liberatory tool, and an experiential technology for sustaining community.

“OUR HANDS”: READING WITH DEAFBLIND POET JOHN LEE CLARK - by Clare Mullaney
The first director of the Perkins Institute for the Blind, Samuel Gridley Howe, was praised for his purported advancements in blind students’ education. But DeafBlind poet John Lee Clark’s poem “Oralism” presents a different historical record: emphasizing the abuse blind students suffered under Howe, who demanded that young pupils cover their “malignant eyes” with ribbons and “forget [their] words.” Referring to the 19th-century letter board for blind writers—which allowed students to draft manuscripts by hand so that they would be legible to sighted readers—Clark says of Howe: “He made us write letters we could not feel.”

What is Crip Queer Love? - Natalie Choi
This piece shows the tickling, unique, and colorful ways people in the disability community express love to demonstrate an alternative to straight, neurotypical, able-bodied love. From prosthetic dildos to hand-painted shot glasses that mimic a lover’s IV meds, this piece is a celebration of the ways that disability is integrated into expressions of affection. This is for the lovers who reinvent what it means to love: accommodating for partners who are amputees, handicapped, autistic, chronically ill, and all the various in-betweens of neurodivergence and non-able-bodiedness.

Hailed by the Brooklyn Rail as “a triumph of intention and reinvention, centering disability and celebrating Herman’s rebirth as his own divine form,” VITRUVIAN shares an allegorical tale of the life cycle of the Vitruvian man as he traverses multiple hemispheres, now in the embodiment of a Disabled Black man. Based on Da Vinci’s famous sketch, the piece explores the ways natural phenomena and history enter and live in the body.

Tuesday, February 21, 6 - 7:30pm EST - Alice Sheppard: Moving Architecture: Architecting Movement
On Zoom.
In this talk, disabled dancer and choreographer Alice Sheppard considers the dynamic relationships of movement, architecture, and public space. Sheppard learned her craft partly in a dance studio, and partly on the street interacting with people and the built environment. She quickly learned that architecture and movement fed each other in challenging ways, especially when it came to her lived experience as a Black disabled queer woman. Carving through the walls of so-called accessible buildings and contouring around the movements of well-established dance forms, Sheppard surfaces her joy in disabled movement and pleasure in the unexpected architectures of body, building, and space.

WITH REBEL FAYOLA ROSE (FOUNDER OF DISABILITY JUSTICE DREAMING), SHARONA FRANKLIN, CATHERINE FRAZEE AND GABRIELLE PETERS (DISABILITY FILIBUSTER AGAINST BILL C-7), HEATHER KAI SMITH, AND THE CURIOSITY PARADOX
Carmen Papalia is a Vancouver-based, non-visual artist working in the realm of social practice. His artwork is concerned with unsettling traditions of cultural ableism, which he achieves by centring and affirming disability cultures in environments and places where members of the broader disability community are underrepresented. Papalia develops participatory projects that reveal non-visual sensory landscapes, demonstrating the possibilities of creative and justice-oriented accessibility practices.

November 1 - December 21, 2022 - "Without Hands" - The Art Art of Sarah Biffin
Sarah Biffin was born into a farming family in 1784, where records state she was 'born without arms and legs'. Teaching herself how to write and draw from a young age, Biffin rose to fame as an artist and established a career as a portrait painter. Throughout her long and successful career, she travelled extensively, took commissions from royalty, and recorded her own likeness through detailed self portraits. Her artworks - many proudly signed 'Without Hands' - are a testament to her talent and accomplishment.

10 February 2022 - Proof: Pathology by Frances Bukovsky
Lenscratch / Fine Art Phototgraphy Daily
This week we are considering projects that all provide a form of proof. Each artist considers the idea from a different perspective.
"Chronically ill and disabled individuals are often asked to take on a burden of proof, whether to gain access to accommodations, treatments through insurance companies, or to satisfy a social demand to justify why someone is the way they are." - Frances Bukovsky

January - 1 April 2022 - #CripRitual
#CripRitual is curated by Critical Design Lab (Aimi Hamraie, Cassandra Hartblay and Jarah Moesch).
Disabled, crip, d/Deaf, Mad, and Sick people face a lot of barriers and stigma. One way that we deal with these barriers is through rituals. Rituals can be things that we do to create accessibility, mark important moments, or to be in community with others who have similar experiences. We chose some art to be part of a show called #CripRitual. The art is by disabled artists. The artwork is about rituals, things we do all the time, or with special purpose, to make life more accessible for ourselves and other people we care for.

Bernice Olmedo - Radical Alterity and the Crip/Disabled Subject
Berenice Olmedo is an artist whose work bridges a gestural politic and radical alterity, renewing and reconfiguring the conflict central to the notion of humanness through a distinctly Crip lens. Utilizing sculptural, performance, and social practice modes, Olmedo’s work circumvents the representational trap that is part and parcel of a reduced, oppositional framing of normative and non-normative, or able and disabled.

Disability/Arts/NYC: A Convening
Saturday, January 28, 2017
1:00-4:30pm
The New School
Starr Foundation Hall, U L102
63 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10003
In the last few months, a group of NYC-based artists, activists, and academics have formed the Disability/Arts/NYC Task Force. DANT is forming around a unique moment for disability arts and artistry. We are witnessing bold and brilliant artwork across genres and disciplines that take up disability as a profound aesthetic and analytic value. And yet, there are persistent obstacles that limit the possibilities for disabled artists and artistry. DANT is in the process of naming this unique moment and developing a movement for disability arts to thrive in New York City.
As part of this ongoing work, we are hosting a groundbreaking convening that will bring together disabled artists, members of the broader arts community, and representatives from some of NYC’s city agencies. We will use the convening to strengthen the coalition of disabled artists and allies while also beginning to craft a disability/arts platform for future policies and practices in NYC.
DANT is deeply grateful to our sponsors, which currently include: Dance/NYC, the Council for the Study of Disability at New York University, the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities, The Eugene Lang College Arts Program at The New School, Inclusive Fashion & Design Collective, with other sponsors pending.
We hope you can join us. Participation in this event is by invitation only. Please let us know if there is someone you believe should be present.
Registration: Please RSVP as soon as possible by clicking here.
Seating is limited.
Accessibility and accommodation information can be found in the registration system through the link above.
We strongly believe that significant change can occur in practice and policy in New York City, and that our art, given the light of day, can have an impact on disabled people’s social, cultural and political positioning and authority.
We look forward to seeing you on January 28.

A collaboration between Project&, the social justice and art organization headed by Jane Saks, and renowned war photographer Lynsey Addario, based on the Studs Terkel archives on AMerican Work. Saks and Addario interviewed 24 individuals across the US to discuss what works means to them, and how they perform their diverse fields, after which Addario created large-scale photographs of each subject.
The list of subjects and panelists includes an amazing roster of luminaries. The artist is thrilled to have been chosen to be part of this project, in studio-practice photos that depict the artist in collaboration with painter Tim Lowly.
Photographs and an extensive schedule of events will be featured at the Harold Washington Public Library on South State Street and Van Buren. For a full run-down of the project, click below. All events are free.

Deadline: Friday, July 15, 2016 - ABS ART AND DISABILITY INSTITUTE:
AESTHETIC PRACTICE AND CRITICAL THEORY
Art Beyond Sight (ABS), in partnership with the Dedalus Foundation, and with generous support from the Shelley and Donald Rubin Foundation, is proud to announce the launch of a major professional and academic initiative dedicated to increasing art world access for visual artists with disabilities and generating critical dialogue about contemporary art and disability.
The ABS Art and Disability Institute (ADI) is a seminar-based study program that will place emerging visual artists with disabilities working in any medium, as well as artists who make work about disability, alongside curators, established artists, theorists, and museum/gallery professionals in a year-long academic and practice-based program. The culminating year-end event of ADI will be a symposium and public exhibition of participants’ work.
Contributing to the expansion of efforts to amplify the voices of historically underrepresented groups, the Art and Disability Institute’s goal is to provide the opportunity for disabled fine artists to benefit from rigorous critical studies and studio practice and engage in professional development in order to enrich and advance their careers. In addition to providing opportunities for exhibition, professional network building, and critical reception for artists with disabilities, corollary ADI goals are to promote inclusion of artists with disabilities in the larger art world, to increase the potential for all disabled individuals to see themselves reflected in art, and to better reflect diversity to all NYC audiences.
ABS is looking for 15 emerging and early-career visual artists to participate in ADI’s pilot year beginning in October 2016. Ideal artist candidates are:
• Artists with disabilities, or artists making work about disability, working in any medium, in the first ten years of their career;
• Professional working artists, or students in a relevant graduate study program;
• Residents of the greater NYC area, able to travel independently to Manhattan and Brooklyn for program activities;
• Willing to collaborate and fully engage in building a meaningful experience both for themselves and for future participants.
The pilot group of artists will engage in critical and creative dialogue and participate in a dynamic and active interrogation of what it is to be a professional artist who has a disability. Together you will formulate and examine questions of access, identity, representation, professional development, and artistic rigor arising in the intersection of art and disability.
Beginning in October 2016, the selected ADI participants will engage in critical discussion, strengthen professional networks, and create new work with peers, mentors, and the public. As the inaugural class, this group of artists has the unique privilege of not only participating in but also collaborating on the development of the program. You will also have the opportunity to become mentors for the next group of ADI participants. The rigorous curriculum, based on research conducted in spring and summer 2016, includes:
15 in-person seminars: These will be held primarily at the Dedalus Foundation’s Industry City Brooklyn space, facilitated by ABS staff/consultants and guest lecturers from the contemporary art world. Discussions will center on subjects such as disability and art theory, questions of identity both adopted and projected, critique and studio practice, professional skills and networking, and mentoring from contemporary art professionals. The seminars will be the heart of the program and offer a critical platform for participants and their work. Three of the seminars will be public lectures held at Dedalus’s Manhattan location, designed to ignite the conversation about disability, difference, and art for a broader audience.
An online community: An online resource to augment in-person seminars will be built on a free platform open to participants and the public. It will contain content such as readings, video of lectures and active discussion threads, enabling the conversation to continue outside of the classroom.
Year-end symposium: Artist growth and collaboration will be presented to the public at a one-day symposium in Spring 2017, featuring short talks by all participating artists and keynote presentation(s) inspired by seminar themes or guest lecturers. Artist participants will play a key role in determining the theme and speakers at this symposium.
Year-end exhibition: The pilot will conclude with a Spring 2017 exhibition of participant artwork, conceived and curated by the artists together with the advisory committee. The exhibition, to be held at the Dedalus Foundation gallery space in Brooklyn, will be accompanied by a printed catalogue and topical essay by a writer selected by the students.
ABS wants to hear your voice. Help shape the vital and necessary dialogue on diversity in the visual arts while taking advantage of a forum for engagement with academic and visual arts professionals and peers. Don’t miss the chance to be a part of this groundbreaking study program, tuition free for pilot participants.
Nominate yourself or another potential candidate using the online form linked here.
For questions or assistance completing the nomination form, please contact Kashfia Huda, ABS Administrator, at administrator@artbeyondsight.org or at (212) 334-8720.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Arts and Disability Center (NADC), and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) warmly invite you to participate in our upcoming Careers in the Arts Online Dialogue.

EVENT 2: Thursday, April 23rd, 2015, 3:00-5:00
Speaker: Bethany Stevens, J.D., M.A.
Pushing Pleasure: Stripping Ableism & Embracing Cripsex
We need a politic of cripsex that demands sexual pleasure and recognition of sexual oppression of disabled people. Disabled people acting on our own sexual desires are often considered pathological and dangerous to ourselves and to society - as we may reproduce disabled offspring. Often framed as victims of abuse or abusers, disabled people experience erasure and demonization of our sexuality. Advocating for the centrality of pleasure and the right to decide the terms of our sexual life, debunks the myths that disabled people are sexually monstrous by making clear how our sexuality is fluid and experienced on a spectrum like those with typical bodies and minds. The orgasmic potential of disabled bodyminds helps all of us to expand notions of what sexual activities are and acknowledge the many ways pleasure can be experienced. In order to value disabled bodyminds, we must embrace our sexual agency and desirability, demanding significant effort and practice to untangle social narratives. In the current social climate of silence and shame, advocating for pleasure is a fundamentally political act against ableism. It’s time to push back.
