Artist Statement: Takako Konishi 

 Daily life in our all-encompassing mediated culture has had profound effects on how we discern reality. Modern media through its various platforms and devices has grown into a behemoth, producing streams of imagery and content competing for our attention, often with messages that shape our attitudes, beliefs, and social values. With this premise I propose that content creation is equivalent to a new religion, and our hosting platforms are the new temples.

However, my art is not a negative critique of our mediated culture, I seek to explore and appropriate this data rich environment as raw material to create an art that has tension yet familiarity. Using collage, I explore the subject, aesthetic, pace, and sense of place we are creating through the many artifices of mass social media.

I am particularly interested in art that explores the fanatic, fringe, gaps, and contradictions in American culture. I feel to fully explore these areas, the art making process must also have a bit of fanaticism in it. My process typically starts with research, while stockpiling information on the subject. This involves image scavengery, photography, sketching and preliminary collage studies. Typically, a finished composition has between 500-800 layers that create the final piece.

My art is a diary, a daily confessional, a mosaic window in the temple of now.

greenstar brewing

We are thrilled to announce the opening of the first certified organic brewery in the state of Illinois! Cozy storefront micro-brewery right next door features a seven-barrel brewhouse along with serving tanks that feed directly into Uncommon Ground’s tap system. It really doesn’t get any fresher than that!

organic rooftop farm

our Edgewater location featured the first certified organic rooftop farm in the United States. We utilized 100% of all the produce grown directly below in the restaurant. before closing, we hosted annual urban agriculture internship opportunities during the summers as well as educational opportunities by appointment.
