TEACHING ARTIST:
Ongoing teaching in higher-ed, workshops, and collaborations within her creative community disposes Hannah Givler to a theoretically engaged practice, deeply invested in learning and sharing knowledge about materials. In 2012, Hannah developed the inaugural wood and metal shops at the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago where she also designed/fabricated for Logan Exhibitions and co-created workshops with Arts and Public Life. She has been an artist in residence at the Chicago Artist Coalition, Vermont Studio Center, 8550 Ohio, The Center for Land Use Interpretation, ACRE, and Umoja Center for the Arts in Arusha Tanzania. Her works have been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as The Cultural Center in Arusha Tanzania, The Banff Centre, 4th Ward Project Space, Logan Exhibitions, Chicago Artist Coalition, Riverside Art Center, Flatland Gallery, and DEMO Projects. These experiences have fostered work that varies in scale, often taking the form of architectural installation, sculpture, sound, and the collaborative organization of conversations and events.

So you hung something(s) on a wall…but now you have to deinstall your exhibition or move out of your apartment and perhaps make it appear as if it never even happened (sad? but often true). Join us for a workshop session that will guide you in wall repair, erasing the evidence of used anchors, screw holes, small or even mighty cracks in plaster. 

We will talk about and demonstrate repairing walls made of various materials including drywall, plaster, brick, and wood…this workshop promises to demystify installation practices, bring down the proverbial walls, and empower you to confidently tackle all of your wall repair projects.

All are welcome, but the workshop is limited to 10 participants. FREE for PS1 members; by donation (suggested: $20) for others. RSVP below to reserve your spot.
