*Finished Production Exhibition*
April 29th – May7th
Opening reception: May 3rd, 5pm

Graphic Design is more than just little jpg images you see on your computer
screens. Graphic designers have many different ways of generating ideas and
solving problems through various mediums and forms. The variety can be
ranged from manual analogue screen prints to digital interactive program
for an iPad.

Finished Production Exhibition allows you to explore a variety of mediums
used to create works by graphic design students in University of Illinois
Urbana Champaign. We are also showcasing a collaboration between University
of Illinois students and University of Iowa!

This is an open exhibition for all University of Illinois Graphic Design
students who are interested in showcasing their work. If you wish to submit
your work please email hong106 at illinois.com. Submissions accepted until
April 27th. Art works need to be dropped off at Indi go, April 28th from
1-3pm.

*SUONO MOBILE 81: Distant Counterpoint*
May 2nd, Thursday, 7:30 pm

SUONO MOBILE USA was founded in 2012 by co-directors Nathan Mandel
(saxophone) and Philipp Blume (composer and vocalist). We are affiliated
with the international SUONO MOBILE initiative, which was started in 1995
in Freiburg, Germany, and is currently active in Buenos Aires, Argentina;
Berlin and Stuttgart, Germany; and now in Champaign-Urbana, IL.

SUONO MOBILE is not primarily an ensemble, but rather a kind of think tank,
dedicated to producing integrated, themed concert programs rather than
merely growing a repertoire. The goal of our music-making is threefold:

• to inform our audiences about works and composers whom they haven’t
encountered before;

• to pursue projects that situate sound and music within an infinitely
flexible, open, vital, and interdisciplinary context where anything is
possible; and

• to increase the visibility of contemporary music in Champaign-Urbana’s
already rich cultural landscape, while also raising the profile of
Champaign-Urbana in the eyes of the national and international contemporary
music community.

Our performances are marked by heightened sensitivity, historical
awareness, unexpected juxtapositions, and the engagement with, rather than
suspension of, disbelief and skepticism.

SUONO MOBILE USA aims to produce 1-2 new concert programs per calendar year
and to bring these programs to other cities whenever feasible.

Our inaugural program, “SUONO MOBILE 81: Distant Counterpoint”, presents
pieces that question assumptions about simultaneity: how do sounds come
together, how do they provide context for one another, how can they be
imagined apart? In addition to works by Philipp Blume and Vin Calianno
written specifically for this program, we will present pieces by Benjamin
Britten, Ondrej Adàmek, Kristian Twombly, and Gregory Wanamaker.

Personnel:

Philipp Blume, voice and objects
Frank Horger, audio and video media
Nathan Mandel, saxophone
Aaron Romm, trumpet
Kyra Saltman, cello
Sun-Young Gemma Shin, violin
Drew Whiting, saxophone
