LVL3 hosts an opening reception on Saturday, November 10, 2012 from 6-10pm at 1542 N. Milwaukee Ave, 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL. ACRE and LVL3 are proud to present INFINITE JAMZ, the next installment in ACRE's year-long series of exhibitions by 2012 ACRE summer residents.
INFINITE JAMZ is
a group shows comprised of four artists from the 2012 Summer ACRE Residency program.
Infinite Jamz explores relationships of light and color amongst various systems
of support. Biff Bolen uses paint to address the speed of his rapid attention
span. Patrick Costello’s interests in his community inspires patterns combined
with natural tones from the environment. Chris Duncan ponders perception in his
portrayals of geometric abstractions. Mac Katter explores image-mediated
experiences and the psychological perceptions of advertising. All four artists
consider their ever-changing impressions through different methods of
expression.

PATRICK COSTELLO makes a lot of visual and performance-based
art projects. He also grows vegetables, preserves food, rides his bike,
and eats lots of greens. He claims Charlottesville, Virginia, nestled
in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, as his hometown. His
visual art is inspired by geometric quilts and textile patterns,
planting seeds, and canning food. Patrick's art has been shown internationally, including at Space 1026 in Philadelphia, PA, Booklyn Art Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, and Trance Pop Gallery in Kyoto, Japan.

CHRIS DUNCAN employs
the use of color, repetition, accumulation, sound and reflections,
along with a wide variety of materials(tape, crayons, string, rocks) to
ponder ideas of perception and transcendence, in both conceptual and
physical forms. Often in flux between the overwhelming and minimal,
Duncan's work is a constant balancing act of positive or negative, loud
or quite, light or dark...etc. Duncan holds an BFA from the California
College of Arts and Crafts, is a 2013 MFA candidate at Stanford
University, and has shown nationally and internationally with frequency.
His work is in the collections of Berkeley Art Museum, SFMOMA, the
Kemper Art Museum, and the editions he has published under the moniker
LAND AND SEA(his publication company he runs with his wife) have
recently been acquired by the NYMoMA. Chris is based in Oakland
California.
MAC KATTER is an artist working and living in California. He received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

ACRE (Artists’ Cooperative Residency and Exhibition) was
founded in 2010 with the ambition to provide the arts community with an
affordable, cooperative, and dialogue-oriented residency
program. The residency itself takes place each summer in rural southwest
Wisconsin and brings together artists from across disciplines and
levels of experience to create a regenerative community of cultural
producers. Over the course of the following year ACRE endeavors to
further support its residents by providing venues for exhibitions, idea
exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and experimental projects.
