Our “Little Black Dress” installation, created by Suzanne (sculpture), Sherry Antonini (poetry & sound) and Niki Nolin (video) is certainly getting around these days. Selections of the sculpture and the text can currently be seen at the Rockford Art Museum as part of the 2010 Rockford Midwest Exhibition, which runs until April 18. From there, check out the C.S.I (Chicago Sculpture International) booth at Art Chicago 2010 located at the Merchandise Mart from April 29 through May 3. The Little Black Dresses and the video will be there! They then move to the Koehnline Museum at Oakton Community College for the “Sculpture Invasion 2010” which opens on Thursday, May 13. And, of course, they are always on view at Blink Contemporary Art in Michigan City, IN. |

Bio |
Suzanne Cohan-Lange is a sculptor, designer and art educator whose principal concern over the past thirty years has been the design of educational programs, museums and art installations using a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach.
Suzanne recently retired as founder, Chair and Professor Emeritus of the Graduate Department of Interdisciplinary Arts at Columbia College, after 25 years and the design of three graduate programs including the highly regarded Center for the Book and Paper Arts. Ms. Cohan-Lange co-founded and designed Chicago’s first Children’s Museum, ExpressWays Children’s Museum, 1982 (now the Chicago Children’s Museum.) She has since designed several museums in Chicago and the Midwest including the Arti-Fact Center at Spertus Institute, the children’s facility at the Swedish Museum of Chicago and a multi-arts center for Pathways, a state agency that provides housing and services for Chicago area foster children. Suzanne is currently the President of the Board of Directors of The Lubeznik Center for the Arts. She and her husband, Richard Lange have recently opened Blink Contemporary Art, a studio/gallery in Michigan City, IN. As a sculptor, Suzanne has worked in steel, resin, cast paper and more recently, wood. Her current work combines carved and found wood with man made objects, video, poetry and sound in large scale sculpture and multi-media installations being shown extensively in Chicago and the Midwest. Her sculpture has always dealt with the figure as a metaphor for the human condition. |
