Sep 20    Exhibit: “Joel Sheesley: A Fox River Testimony”
Plein air and studio artist Joel Sheesley exhibits 73 landscapes — painted over a two-year period in all seasons — depicting the Fox River and watershed from West Dundee to Ottawa where the Fox River joins the Illinois River. The exhibit explores issues of mortality and permanence as the artist positions landscape art as a means to deepen our experience and appreciation of nature. The Earth is the repository of all human and nonhuman history. In taking the Earth as motif, the artist addresses, through landscape, one of the most consequential subjects of our time. Joel Sheesley, emeritus professor of art at Wheaton College, is a painter whose current work focuses on the landscape. He has been a recipient of an Illinois Arts Council Artists Fellowship, has exhibited work in Chicago galleries and had a solo exhibition at the Chicago Cultural Center. His work has also been exhibited widely in university galleries. The Conservation Foundation’s Fox River Initiative is an environmental education and outreach program about the Fox River and the Fox Valley. Through “Art of the Fox” the foundation hopes to broaden interest in the health of the Fox River by appealing to the river’s aesthetic value. In partnership with The Conservation Foundation's Fox River Initiative

Sep 20    Joel Sheesley “The Paradoxical Landscape Frame”
Exhibited alongside the Schingoethe Center’s collection of American Indian artifacts, A Fox River Testimony invites questions about ways of framing the landscape. The Western European art tradition has taught us to frame landscapes as pictures in a way that contrasts sharply with the Native American approach to landscape. The European tradition of framing, or picture-making, can be seen as a paradoxical strategy that simultaneously presents and obscures the landscape it offers as subject. The esthetic frame, when acknowledged as self-reflexive and culturally oriented, can still be a useful window through which to observe the landscape. In partnership with The Conservation Foundation's Fox River Initiative

Sep 25    Main Stage: Walter Isaacson “Bringing Leonardo Da Vinci to Life”
At the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, Leonardo da Vinci is history’s most creative genius. Listen as past editor of Time magazine, chairman of CNN and best-selling author Walter Isaacson draws from the original Renaissance man to teach audiences the importance of creativity and challenging the status quo. Walter Isaacson is a professor of history at Tulane and an advisory partner at Perella Weinberg, a financial services firm based in New York City. He is the past CEO of the Aspen Institute, where he is now a distinguished fellow, and has been the chairman of CNN and the editor of TIME magazine. Isaacson’s most recent biography, “Leonardo da Vinci” (2017), offers new discoveries about Leonardo’s life and work, weaving a narrative that connects his art to his science. He is also the author of “The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution” (2014), “Steve Jobs” (2011), “Einstein: His Life and Universe”(2007), “Benjamin Franklin: An American Life” (2003), and “Kissinger: A Biography” (1992), and coauthor of “The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made” (1986). He is a host of the show “Amanpour and Company” on PBS and CNN, a contributor to CNBC, and host of the podcast “Trailblazers, from Dell Technologies.” Isaacson was born on May 20, 1952, in New Orleans. He is a graduate of Harvard College and of Pembroke College of Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He began his career at The Sunday Times of London and then the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He joined TIME in 1978 and served as a political correspondent, national editor, and editor of digital media before becoming the magazine’s 14th editor in 1996. He became chairman and CEO of CNN in 2001, and then president and CEO of the Aspen Institute in 2003. He is chair emeritus of Teach for America. From 2005-2007 he was the vice-chair of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, which oversaw the rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. He was appointed by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate to serve as the chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which runs Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other international broadcasts of the United States, a position he held from 2009 to 2012. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Society of the Arts, and the American Philosophical Society. He serves on the board of United Airlines, the New Orleans City Planning Commission, the New Orleans Tricentennial Commission, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Society of American Historians, the U.S. Defense Department Innovation Board, the Carnegie Institution for Science, and My Brother’s Keeper Alliance.
