![]() Tip of the Week Siebren Versteeg
Raising eyebrows and even occasionally a few hackles since his rock-star
debut at last May's Stray Show, UIC grad student Siebren Versteeg has
discreetly found his place in the sun. The MCA has also found a place
for him in its sometimes uneven monthly "12x12: New Artists/New Work"
series, which has never had a more contentious or glittery participant.
Versteeg's digitally animated "Being Here" scrolls between a
date/time stamp, still images of the scruffy artist sitting in a waiting
room and a wall-mounted television monitor. A live video feed has been
edited into the image of the monitor through which live feeds of CNN
news reports are broadcast. Versteeg's cultural evolution, while not
televised, will most certainly be viewed. Siebren Versteeg shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 East
Chicago Ave, (312)280-2660, through November 30.
