Heaven Gallery welcomes Matt Sauermilch for his first solo show.

Sauermilch moved to Chicago in 2003 to attend the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago. He graduated in 2007 with a fellowship and has since
worked as a wood worker on the south side of chicago. His work has been
displayed at Heaven gallery, ARC Gallery, Around the Coyote, The Hills Gallery,
and most recently at SO3 Gallery. The Process of Wooding Out explores materials
found in the wood shop industry, ideas of high and low, and humor. Carving fast
food items out of exotic and imported woods, cheap processed food is juxtaposed
against finely hand crafted objects. A log cast out of wood glue and saw dust
returns byproducts of the wood-working process back into its original form.
Designer particle board, hand made out of pacific Koa wood, reproduces a
product that is typically machine pressed out of scraps. This low quality
building material becomes transformed into a polished recreation. The love
notes series jokes at loverly carvings. These ideas question the process of
wood working and use of materials while creating art. This show plays with wood
in interesting ways, just like Black Flag did with jazz in their final LP.

Heaven Gallery welcomes a solo show of new work by Scott Jarrett. In the Lining is an exhibition of reworked and reconsidered materials, objects, and histories selected by Jarrett according to a set of rules and regulations imposed upon long meditative walks throughout various neighborhoods. The imposed sets of rules and personal restraints that form the selection process are also applied to the making, which slows down intuition and desire, just enough to treat each piece of material as an individual history with transformed ambitions and qualities that constantly present themselves as the enveloped capacity to be seized, altered, or privileged.

In the past, Jarrett has photographed his assemblages of objects and places in a similar method, but left the world outside on its own terms. Now, these things have been brought inside his studio where the making might serve best thought of as a partnership entering into a new application.

Presciently stripped from the headlines, the term dead cat bounce denotes a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock. To the artists in Dead Cat Bounce, it signifies one’s dedication to creative rebirth and renewal even as times, traditions and masters move on.

Featuring four saxophones of all ranges plus upright bass and drums, Dead Cat Bounce since 1997 has been the unique artistic vision of founder and composer Matt Steckler. Word of DCB’s high caliber as a performance ensemble has brought them to festivals and concerts nationally, and garnered distinctions from Meet the Composer, Chamber Music America, American Composers Forum, American Music Center, Boston Music Awards, Jazz Times, The Washington Post, Cadence and many others in the creative music community.

"DCB revels in a reed-driven sound marked by sharply contrasting forms, textures and tones; strident, joyful, lush and strutting use of a horn section." - Washington Post
