This Saturday is the first show of the summer season at the illustrious Believe Inn, and it's going to be a doozy. If you're not familiar with the work of Pourous Walker this would be a grand opportunity to correct that error. This year the Inn will have a gift shop, and since I was fortunate enough to show some work there last summer, H Mathis (Chicago's premier curator) asked if I'd contribute some stuff to have for sale. The below image, an out-take from the MCA installation, amongst a few others will be available for purchase.

Portractions?
Here's a couple more shots taken in the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing. The only real reason I'm posting is to view them full-size and on the black background. I'm not sure where to go with these abstracted portraits (portractions?), but I think they have potential. For what? Beats the Hell out of me...
It was funny, when I was walking around the museum taking photos it felt very natural and comfortable, like something I should be doing. Then it dawned on me that I'd spent most of the damn winter doing just that.

Modern Post
This weekend the Art Institute of Chicago celebrated the opening of the new, 200-Brazillion-Dollar Modern Wing by throwing a free-opening-day party, complete with gospel singers (totally bad ass), tours of the galleries and bags of potato chips. Oh, and there was a bunch of art to look at as well. The new structure is really impressive, and the way it is incorporated with Millennium Park via the sky walk is worth the trip down there by itself.
Target is paying everybody's admission up until May 21, so get on down there before the prices get steep.
There's an entire gallery for Richter. Aces.

Spending 30 Hours Driving Along the Same Street
Last week I drove with Tim out to San Francisco. If you look at a map you'll notice that you get on Interstate 80 in Chicago and stay on the same road, sans turns, for 2000-plus miles, straight into the Bay Area. It's difficult to get lost. Here's some shots taken along the way.
Did you know that the second you enter Iowa from Illinois you can see Nebraska off in the distance? The state is that flat. No joke.
Once you lose your Soul in Reno you can find redemption in a gas station parking lot.

Heavy Metal B Sides
Nestled in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood there's an Industrial Oasis that's seemingly easy to miss amongst the chain- retail stores, upscale housing, and intoxicated caucasians. Early Sunday morning I decided to trust the weather man (who claimed the rain had moved out of the area) and get on my bike to explore the crunched up cars and metal scrap piles that form Landscapes of Discards within the Clybourn Corridor. The weather man lied--I got soaked, but I first got these shots.
I will be making many a trip back to this spot throughout this summer, I reckon.

Put Me In, Coach
Temperatures in the thirties, gusting winds and chance of snow- it must be Opening Day. Here's a few shots taken during various stages of the demolition of Tiger Stadium last Summer.
