ON THE COVER: The Rangefinder Gallery at Tamarkin Camera First Fridays in River North are Here For years the public has regularly asked, “Are gallery openings on First Fridays?” As well known as the phrase is, in River North there has never been such an event, since most openings happen every six to eight weeks. The Museum of Contemporary Art has had such a program, and other art districts in the city have designated monthly public opening nights, but it is in River North that the “First Friday” myth has long persisted. Now, one of the district’s newest galleries is taking advantage of the “First Fridays” name and of the public’s desire for a regular opening night schedule. The Rangefinder Gallery’s Dan Tamarkin is always full of energy and ideas. Often buzzing around the gallery rearranging furniture for the next opening or meeting with artists about future exhibitions, now he’s set his entire schedule for 2015 and has committed to having an opening reception the first Friday of every month (beginning January 9th to give everyone a chance to recuperate from New Year’s Eve festivities). He anticipates that a regular schedule will be popular with his own clients, but he also hopes that the energy catches on in other area galleries. When the whole neighborhood is involved, First Fridays will cease to be a myth and will become an engaging reality, giving new life to an historic arts district. The Rangefinder Gallery is part of Tamarkin Camera, the largest Leica Camera showroom in the Midwest, and one of the largest in the world. The gallery is dedicated to showcasing un-retouched film and digital photographs from the legendary Leica M camera. Rangefinder’s first four months of 2015 feature a variety of photographers. The program changes regularly, so please visit often. See you on First Fridays!

NEWS - WHAT’S HAPPENING Publisher’s Letter: Baby Steps Through Winter My daughter recently learned how to walk. Constantly watching out for her safety has helped me see the world with a new perspective: while I now anticipate a range of new dangers, I can also freshly see more wonder CGN Publisher Ginny Van Alyea in the everyday. Toddlers Photo: Jessica Tampas are innately curious; their inexhaustable delight in exploration is charming to a busy adult. Shiny objects and novel experiences can entertain grown ups too, but most of us are a little harder to truly impress. Each winter when I write this letter for our January-April issue, it’s a tough assignment. How can we get people to see things in a new light? Is it possible to be excited about the cruelest stretch of the year in one of the coldest cities in the country? Many people just want to flee until spring arrives. But instead of trying to force my enthusiasm on others, maybe the middle of winter just isn’t a time to be all abuzz. Instead, it may be a reprieve from the frenzy.

We have a chance to relax and slow down. The calendar is no longer a blur, and for most of us, if we’re going to venture outside, it had better be worth it. This is not to say that nothing happens when the temperature is below zero. As we come out of our post-holiday fog, the area’s cultural momentum builds each month, starting with winter season openings and continuing until we gratefully reach April. Just like a confident toddler who has mastered baby steps, soon we’ll be running again. Savoring these quieter times is a gift. Before we know it time will have passed us all by. Eight decades have passed for Richard Hunt. Long a sculpture star, as Hunt celebrates his 80th birthday, two institutions are reflecting on this prolific, resourceful artist’s career. Franck Mercurio visited Hunt’s studio to take a look back and to see what’s new. What’s new can be quite at home in an old space. Kevin Nance has a conversation with architect and contemporary art collector Carlos Martinez, whose collection began with a birthday present and snowballed from there.

Martinez looks to art and architecture to inspire many aspects of his life. Art has the power to inspire us all, but it can also offer a safe haven for at-risk youths in the city. Even in the slower winter months, there are day-to-day dangers that exist for many kids. Several area art programs are designed to offer a creative escape. Frank Mercurio talks to three Chicago nonprofits making a difference. While we are most often focused on art at CGN, we of course are aware that there are other events happening the world. Arist Tony Fitzpatrick candidly shares his (strong) opinions about artists’ reponses to current events as well as the art fair market and celebrities. A new year can bring a singular freshness to discover, no matter what your age, and even when we feel as if we can’t bear to go outdoors. Out there is undoubtedly something to explore and delight us, just as if we’ve never seen it before. You might just be impressed. Happy new year!

South Side Community Art Center Turns 75 SSCAC even received recognition from the White House when first Lady Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated the Center on May 7, 1941 in a ceremony that was broadcast nationwide on CBS radio. A gala celebration followed and featured national luminaries like singer Bessie Smith and actress Ethel Waters. The First Lady chronicled her visit to Chicago in the May 9, 1941 edition of her column “My Day”, Below is a portion of the entry: At 3:15 (May 7, 1941) we went to the South Side Community Art Center to dedicate their building. … Chicago has long been a center of Negro art. Many Negro artists have had a hard time getting their training and have starved as many artists do, even when they have achieved a certain amount of recognition. With the aid of federal money it (The Center) has been converted to its present purposes. Many people were influential for the Center over the years. When the Center opened Dr. Margaret Goss Burroughs was one of its youngest board members; she continued her active involvement in numerous capacities until her death in 2010. A prolific fundraiser for SSCAC, she is often remembered for her “miles of dimes” fundraising campaign that was instrumental in SSCAC’s purchase of the Bauhaus remodeled building.

Renowned artist Jonathan Green, fourth from left, poses with local students in front of his art work at the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) in 2010 when the Ballet based on his artwork, Off The Wall Onto the Stage: Dancing the Art of Jonathan Green, debuted at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance. It returns to Chicago on April 11, in celebration of SSCAC’s 75th Anniversary.

BY PATRICIA ANDREWS-KEENAN The story of the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) is best told through the gallery walls of its 1892 Gustav Hallberg designed building. The walls of the main gallery show every nail hole from every exhibit ever hung there. The inaugural exhibition of the Center, held in December 1940, featured works by Charles White, Bernard Goss, William Carter, Eldzier Cortor, Frank Neal and Archibald Motley, Jr.. Those first nail holes tell a story of a community committed to self-improvement and the belief that the arts hold a transformative power to enhance lives.

Today the SSCAC maintains its status as an active community resource under the leadership of Executive Director Maséqua Myers, a former student of Dr. Burroughs, and a committed board of directors, some with nearly 50 years of service. To mark the 75th anniversary SSCAC has developed a year of programming and events, including a revival of Off The Wall, Onto the Stage: Dancing the Art of Jonathan Green, which returns to the Harris Theater for Music and Dance on April 11. Green, a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, was a habitué of the Center and continues as a supporter. The Ballet is a collaboration of still art and dance and was first conceived by the Columbia City Ballet’s Executive and Artistic Director William Starrett after meeting Green in 2002. It debuted in Chicago in 2010 during the SSCAC’s 70th Anniversary celebration. As in 2010, there will be a special performance for Chicago Public School students. Mayor Rahm Emmanuel will serve as Honorary Chair of this 75th Anniversary event.

In 2015, SSCAC enters its 75th year and stands as one of the last surviving Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Arts Project (FAP) Centers and the oldest African American community art center in the country. Today the Center continues in its original mission to preserve, conserve and exhibit African American art and showcase African American artists. In its early years the Center was a hive of activity, as well as a who’s who of the Chicago Renaissance. In addition to a series of frequently changing exhibitions, renowned artists George Neal, William Sylvester Carter, Charles Sebree, Katherine Bell, Joseph Kersey and Sylvester Britton taught art classes. Inez Cunningham Stark, the editor of Poetry magazine, taught a poetry class; her students included future Poet Laureate of Illinois Gwendolyn Brooks, as well as Margaret Danner, and Robert Davis.

The Center will also host its 50th Annual Art Auction, as well as a recreation of its storied Artist and Models Ball, a showcase of the ‘avant garde’ that sometimes featured works on human canvases and was dubbed provocative for the time. Exhibitions for 2015 will include Black Comic Book Heroes, exhibits that pay homage to the Center’s founders as well as up and coming artists, and an exhibition partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Brooks, author Richard Wright, and Willard Motley attended a regular writers’ forum; on weekends musical legend Nat “King” Cole played jazz. Photographer and filmmaker Gordon Parks kept a studio at the Center. Lessons offered for free at the Center included oil painting, drawing, composition, watercolor, sculpture, lithography, poster design, fashion illustration, interior decoration, silk screening, weaving, and hooked rug making. By March 1941, nearly 13,500 people had attended classes, exhibitions, and events at the Center.

Myers refers to SSCAC’s 75th as “soaring towards our diamond anniversary.” She says, “I look forward to bridging SSCAC’s legacy of historical excellence in traditional art with the brilliance of the artists of today. Our goal is to attract art lovers from all over the world.” Her vision is borne out as art historians and researchers have traveled to view the Center’s archives from as far away as England, Paris, Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire.

Richard Hunt: Chicago’s Dean of Sculpture Best known for his monumental works of public art, Hunt has completed numerous commissions throughout the city and the nation. Chicagoans are perhaps most familiar with Hunt’s Flight Forms (2001) at Midway Airport, We Will (2005) on Randolph Street near the Chicago Cultural Center, and Eagle Columns (1989) in Jonquil Park. But Hunt has also created public works in nearly a dozen other states, including significant commissions in Michigan, North Carolina, and Washington, DC. Yet his prominence as a public sculptor often obscures Hunt’s thriving studio practice. “I make things from coffee table-sized to plaza-sized,” said Hunt during a recent interview. Indeed, the compact exhibition at the MCA focuses attention on eight of the artist’s more modestly-scaled works. “People know Richard from his public projects, but I think it is really important to address that he has been laboring in his studio making studio work as well,” says Naomi Beckwith, MCA curator. “There is this humbler-scaled, yet no less significant, practice in his studio that’s ongoing.” Hunt became famous at an early age through these “humbler-scaled” works. Arachne (1956) was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art when the artist was still in his twenties. Hunt created this and other early sculptures using found objects, such as discarded automobile parts and other detritus of industrial production. “It was about creating something from found material and the industrial waste that we’ve been producing as a society,” explained Beckwith. “You have artists starting to make things out of waste [in the 1950s]. I can’t help but think about it as a kind of commentary on excess production.” As a young artist, Hunt displayed a talent for imbuing obsolete, static objects with life and movement. “Some of the earliest works that Richard created were figural. They’re all humans or humanoids or little robots,” says Beckwith. “And it’s about reactivating—or literally reanimating—some of this stuff that seemed lifeless and pulled apart and wasted.”

By FRANCK MERCURIO On a quiet section of Lill Street overlooking Jonquil Park, a one-time CTA transformer station stands anonymously among its more gentrified Lincoln Park neighbors. Unassuming from the outside, the 1910 structure boasts an impressive three-story-tall interior space illuminated by rows of cathedral-like windows. Within this building (that once housed giant rotary converters powering Lincoln Avenue’s trolley car system), resides the studio of Chicago sculptor Richard Hunt.

Hunt himself cites Julio González (1876–1942) as a major influence on his early work. “Gonzalez talked about sculpture being the marriage of material and space—drawing in space—you know, that kind of thing,” says Hunt. “It got my attention.” González and other modernists pursued a more “constructed” way of producing sculpture, often assembling or welding separate components together to create three-dimensional compositions. It was a method that inspired Hunt. “I started out modeling, but then I saw this constructed stuff and was very excited by it,” explains Hunt. “I wanted to move in that direction. So that’s what got me started doing metal work, first soldering little things, then going on to weld.”

Hunt purchased the old transformer building from the CTA in the early 1970s and relocated his studio there. The atelier contains a diverse array of “stuff” bearing witness to Hunt’s vocation. Mountains of scrap metal stand next to large-scale works inprogress. Dozens of maquettes line tabletops alongside random pieces of African art. Rows of archival boxes and filing cabinets overflow with the memorabilia of Hunt’s 60-year artistic practice.

Although Hunt still uses this technique today, the idea of modeling isn’t entirely absent from his mature work—often, he welds together modeled components to create his sculptural constructions. Hunt works out his initial ideas using wax slabs that he shapes and solders to create maquettes. Guided by these initial models, he then models larger pieces from steel or bronze and welds these together to fabricate the finished work.

Chicago is celebrating the artist’s long and highly successful career— and his 80th birthday—with two new exhibitions: Richard Hunt: 60 Years of Sculpture at the Chicago Cultural Center (through March 29) and MCA DNA: Richard Hunt at the Museum of Contemporary Art (through May 17). 16

The final product is consciously abstract, yet reflects an underlying figural quality. Hunts sculptural compositions suggest wings, waves, body parts, and other moving, flowing, curvilinear shapes. Says Beckwith, “I’d always been amazed by his practice that is abstract, but borrows from these kind of surreal, biomorphic forms.” In the Cultural Center exhibition, 60 of Hunt’s signature sculptures are displayed from different periods of his career, including two new works never before exhibited in public. Along with the MCA show, the Cultural Center exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to view some of the best pieces created by Chicago’s prodigious dean of sculpture.

A Classic Setting for Eclectic Art By KEVIN NANCE The artistic sensibility of Chicago architect Carlos Martinez’s collection is best described as “eclectic.” Within the 3,000-square-foot Gold Coast condo he shares with his partner, Michael Tirrell, Martinez has amassed a significant modern and contemporary art collection that juxtaposes abstract and figurative work, often hung in pairings that emphasize the contrast. The art, in turn, exists in a kind of creative tension with the highly traditional interior architecture of the building, an upscale 1897 Holabird and Roche apartment complex that was one of the first of its kind in Chicago’s Gilded Age. A native of Cuba and a resident of Chicago since 1982, Martinez is now a principal at Gensler, a leading architecture firm, specializing in interior design. His taste for mixing periods and styles is evident at the couple’s Astor Street condo (which, they were happy to discover, was once occupied by László Moholy-Nagy, the Hungarian painter and photographer who founded the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology). Rich wood paneling, molding and floors, a massive mantelpiece and bookshelves form a striking old-world backdrop for the art, much of it by Chicago Imagists Ed Paschke and Roger Brown. Chicago Gallery News recently sat down for an interview with Martinez, his dog Blue snuggling beneath a blanket at our feet. Here’s an edited transcript of our chat. Q: How did you get started as a collector? A: It all started 28 years ago, which is when I made my first “serious” purchase—the first time I went into a gallery and bought something. It was a drawing by David Kotker, a young, up-and-coming sculptor here in Chicago who was doing some really big pieces. Zolla/Lieberman had a show of his studies for the sculpture, which were really wonderful, almost de Chirico-ish. A lot of David’s pieces were sort of perverted—the line drawing I bought has a kind of S&M quality. It’s really beautiful. Q: You still have it? A: Yes. I’ve never decommissioned a single piece. And then one day, David decided to get married, have a kid, and stop doing art. He was very well-known at the time—he was a darling of the art community here— but he’s not so well known now because he quit. I think I paid $600 for the drawing.

Q: Which was a lot of money then.

that happened was that around the time I bought that first piece, I did a project here in Chicago with a wonderful curator A: Oh yes. But it was a birthday present to my partner, Michael. So from that point, for and art consultant, Emily Nixon. She’s every Christmas and every birthday, I would extremely knowledgeable and has her own buy a new piece, occasionally more than one. company, Nixon Art Associates. I told Emily, “Christmas is coming up and I want to buy We’ve been together for 28 years, so that’s a present for Michael. He has heard of this how the collection happened. guy here in Chicago, Ed Paschke. Can you help me get a Paschke?” She said yes, she Q: Had you been single, would you still knew of a great piece by Paschke at a gallery have been collecting art? in Michigan. I went to see it and loved it, but then she said, “Let me show you these other A: Yes, for sure. I would have bought it for myself. (Laughs.) I’ve always loved art. My pieces also.” They were these two blackmother used to say when I was a kid, “When and-white drawings, “Hubert” and “Tudor” [1976]. And there they are [points to the you grow up, I think your house is going to drawings over the mantelpiece]. And then be like a museum.” (Laughs.) she said, there’s another piece, which I also loved. And I told her, “I’m going to buy them Q: And so it is. all.” So that was the beginning of the whole Paschke thing. Michael and I really love his A: Yes, although I don’t think of it as work, and over the years, when something a museum. (Laughs.) The other thing 18

to a Brown show at the Phyllis Kind Gallery and saw the piece “The Jim and Tammy Show.” I loved it, in part because here again we are dealing with popular culture in the context of fine art. I can’t say I understood it; in fact I wondered, “What the hell does it mean?” Q: You knew who Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were? A: Yes, although politically, I had absolutely no affiliation with their mission. I showed it to Michael and said, “We should get this, it’s so cool.” He said, “That is the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” (Laughs.) Q: It has a camp sensibility. A: Super-camp. It’s about religious fanaticism, of course, but also the scandal they had. So about three years ago, that piece came up at auction, I think at Leslie Hindman, and I said, “I have to get it. I was destined to have that piece.” I gave it to Michael as a Christmas present. He got a big laugh out of it.

comes up at auction, I often bid on it. Roger Brown was the other artist who Michael liked in particular.

Q: I see you also have a print by Le Corbusier, which makes sense given the architecture connection.

Q: You have several pieces by both artists, I see.

A: Yes, I bought a book about his lithographs in 1979 when I was an architecture student. I bought it at the Le Corbusier Foundation in Paris, and probably paid $20. The book now is worth $800, which is what a copy sold for recently at auction. I loved the lithographs.

A: I think there are about a dozen Paschkes and nine Roger Browns. We also have several other classics—a Motherwell, a Nevelson, a couple Picassos. There’s an Ellsworth Kelly, which is one of my favorites. It’s funny, because everything is either highly abstract or completely figurative. Michael says, “If we go into another room with faces looking at you…” Paschke is always a face, you know.

Q: He’s not so well-known for those, is he? A: No, but they’ve become very collectible. The Peninsula Hotel has six of them. When one of the lithographs came up for auction at Leslie Hindman, I said, “I need to have this piece.” I had a business trip and had to be out of town, so I told Michael, “Could you please go to the auction and bid on this piece?” The day of the auction, I called home and Michael said, “I feel terrible. I got to the auction a couple minutes late and didn’t get to bid on the piece. I’m really sorry.” I was so disappointed. A few months later, Christmas Eve comes, and we were going to have dinner with Emily Nixon. We got in the car to go to dinner, and Michael said, “I forgot something,” and went back inside. He took a long time and I was getting upset. Finally we went to dinner and came home and were having tea. I said, “Wait a minute, there’s something different.” There was the Le Corbusier piece, framed and hanging on the wall. That was really nice of Michael.

Q: What was it about Paschke’s work that appealed to you? A: Michael had met Paschke, and one of the things he really liked was how down-to-earth Ed was. I started reading about him, and I liked the story behind the art. When Ed did one of his early pieces of a female entertainer, he got some criticism for “exploiting” women. The story I was told was that the next year, he came out with this series of “Hubert” and “Tudor”—there was a third piece, which I’m tracking—about male entertainers, some of whom were transgendered. Ed was having a dialogue with the art community and its narrative around his work. I thought that was wonderful. I was on a panel recently and somebody asked me, “What inspires your work?” As an architect I look to the social construct of the time—what’s happening in the world, in popular culture. That was also the lens Paschke used in his art. The fact that he was a Chicagoan was also important, and that he was part of this school, the Imagists, with Roger Brown.

Q: And kind of wicked, also. A: Absolutely.

Q: What was the connection with Brown? Did you meet him?

Q: Your architecturally traditional apartment sets up an interesting dynamic with contemporary art hanging on the walls.

A: I never met Ed Paschke, and Michael never met Roger Brown. Part of what we like about Brown is that many of his paintings are about buildings and the people in them. Everybody thinks, “Oh, you’re an architect, so of course you like Roger Brown.” It was Michael who was mesmerized by his depictions of glowing windows in the black-box buildings. He really connected with that, and I loved it too, because I love Mies van der Rohe, and we lived in a Mies building on Lake Shore Drive at the time. I also like how Brown depicts the sky.

A: I always loved the idea of the contrast between classical architecture and modern furniture and art. In Spanish, the word for furniture is mueble, and the word for real estate is inmueble. Literally, what’s movable is mueble and what’s fixed is inmueble. The terminology clarifies the fact that some things you take with you, and other things stay behind. To me, architecture is designed for the ages, but furniture and art reflect where you are in time. So coming to this classical apartment was about creating a tension between the two things.

Q: Those pillowy skies—

A: Pillowy, yes. Or they look like drapery. He was even more outrageous than Paschke with his critical commentaries. We went 19

Art Offers Youths a Creative Safe Haven

BY FRANCK MERCURIO Chicago’s youth art programs help fill the gaps left by reduced or non-existent arts education in our public schools. For the city’s underserved youth in particular, extracurricular arts organizations provide havens where students can safely socialize, learn, and discover their own creative potential. These programs provide services that elevate art-making above the status of “leisure activity” by empowering youth to think creatively—not just about their art, but about their educational and life goals. Following are three profiles of non-profit art organizations that are making a difference in the lives of our city’s young people through art education, art therapy, and social services.

sculpture but also courses in new media, interdisciplinary arts, and design, including fashion design. Beyond offering a wide range of visual arts programs, one of Marwen’s goals is to get kids to think about their future potential, especially college. “Marwen has a fantastic, nationally recognized college planning and career development program,” explains Contro. “We help young people understand post-secondary education, apply, and get into college.” According to Contro, over 90 percent of Marwen participants — the majority of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds — are accepted into higher education programs.

Marwen

South Chicago Art Center

Founded by entrepreneur Steve Berkowitz in 1987, Marwen is one of the longest running—and most successful—youth art programs in Chicago. The organization (named after Berkowitz’s daughters, Marcy and Wendy) currently serves 1,000 students, from 6th through 12th grades, in more than 100 art programs.

A world away from Marwen and its River North gallery neighbors is the South Chicago Art Center, located on 91st Street near the Calumet River. “It’s pretty much a cultural desert down here,” says Executive Director Sarah Ward. “We’re the only program that has served this neighborhood for the past 13 years, and it’s the only consistent after school program.”

Many students return to Marwen as adults to teach. “A really important aspect of Marwen is that we aim to work with kids over the arc of many terms and years,” says Antonia Contro, Marwen’s Executive Director for the past 20 years. “A young person can come here in sixth or seventh grade, stay through high school and then continue through work opportunities with our teaching-artist community.” Marwen offers programs in traditional mediums such as painting, drawing and

Ward has a degree in art therapy from the Art Institute of Chicago. She sees multiple needs of the kids who live in the South Chicago neighborhood and participate in the Center’s programs. “While some programs might fit snuggly into an art education box or a social services box, we fill [students’] needs on a holistic level,” says Ward. In addition to offering 29 different programs 20

for elementary, middle school, and high school kids—covering subjects like art, gardening, and cooking—the Center also feeds students if they’re hungry and helps provide basic necessities like clothing. Most important, the Center gives its students a safe and stable place to go to after school to avoid South Chicago’s random violence. “They’re coming here to be in a safe place where people are not only going to teach them concepts and art, but they’re also going to be respected and heard,” explains Ward. “They don’t have to worry about the things that are going on outside of here.” The Center recently purchased a new building at the corner of 91st St. and S. Houston Ave. and has launched a $2.5 million dollar fundraising campaign to pay for the move and needed renovations. Located across the street from the South Chicago Public Library and the South Chicago YMCA, the new home will provide even more safety and security for its students. “It will greatly raise our profile,” says Ward about the relocation of the Center. “Plus we will have a gallery space, a kiln, and we’ll be open for more extended hours…it will become a really kid-friendly, safe space.”

Yollocalli Yollocalli means “heart of the house” in Nahuatl, the Aztec language. Located in Barrett Park in Chicago’s Little Village, this teen arts program is an outreach initiative of the National Museum of Mexican Art. Unlike many youth arts programs in the city, Yollocalli’s courses are structured as open-studio residencies.

“It’s not really teaching,” says Director Vanessa Sanchez of Yollocalli’s approach, “but more like a mentor relationship.” The students, in turn, collaborate on their instructor’s projects. As a prime example, Sanchez cites a recent collaboration with 96 Acres, a series of site-specific works and events headed by artist Maria Gaspar. Students worked alongside artists to stencil phrases and questions on the walls and sidewalks surrounding the Cook County Jail. In a technique called “reverse graffiti,” the participants “inscribed” words onto surfaces using a powerwasher. “Instead of applying paint to a surface, you’re cleaning a surface,” explains Sanchez. In addition to other street art classes, Yollocalli also offers unique programs like Digital Journalism, where students use narrative and storytelling in the manner of This American Life or Snap Judgement to create their own podcasts. To Sanchez, many of Yollocalli’s benefits are more intangible than the practical skills that students learn. “I think it helps build their character,” says Sanchez. “They always let us know how much they loved their time with us and how they’ve continued the tradition of giving back to the community or doing something positive for whatever neighborhood they’re from or for the city at-large.”

Mr. Imagination at Intuit The first Chicago retrospective for Mr. Imagination (Gregory Warmack, 1948-2012), a celebrated artist whose career spanned more than thirty years, is coming to Intuit. As the third of nine children growing up on Chicago’s Southside, Warmack spent his free time making small works from found objects for spending money. Following a 1978 mugging when he was shot and left to die, he had an out of body experience during his recovery that led him to dedicate himself to a new regenerative art for the people.

While America Burns...the 1% Gets a Tan I was reminded that these were the kind of events that used to motivate artists into civil discourse, civil disobedience, and dissent. There was a time when artists spoke to the county’s conscience and were part of the discourse, rather than another variety of mere ‘entertainment.’ This is where the marketplace mentality has led many of us. The conversation about what art is and does used to be the intellectual real estate that artists occupied. Now? Every Jerk worth eight figures has the public hanging on their every idiotic word, including artists, and believing that dollar bills equal brain-cells.

And in the booths? The big world turns:

There is a grim irony surrounding the art extravaganza in Miami this past December. Ten or 12 international art fairs call this mecca of tit-jobs, rhinoplasty, and spray-on tans home for about seven days each year, and in those days they waltz along Collins Avenue surprising each other with great thoughts about the presence of Miley Cyrus, Jeffrey Deitch, and Jay-Z. Whoo Ha!

The Clueless Oaf pays the Stiff-jawed Fraud a fortune for a meaningless accoutrement.

I followed all this on Twitter from Chicago, where it’s cold like it’s supposed to be. When one reporter breathlessly tweeted about being ‘tucked in’ at one fair’s nap station by Marina Abramovic, I thought, Oh Joy. Though I suppose it’s better to have her tuck you in than to wake up with her staring at you. That would give me the willies. The hookers, male and female, must do a brisk trade, while the celebrity crowd zips everywhere in ‘courtesy’ cars furnished by Audi, or BMW, or whomever paid for the franchise. There are a lot of 70 year-olds there with 30 year old wives. I, for one, love rolling up on those guys and telling them how elegant their daughters are, just to make them get so pissed.

It’s prom night for the swells, who dress to the nines just to watch their money fuck other money. Meanwhile...back in civilization? The Midwest town of Ferguson, MO burned. A grand jury’s decision regarding a white policeman’s killing of 18 year-old Michael Brown tore the scab off of the illusory and non-existent ‘Post Racial’ America. In another part of the country, in New York City, five Staten Island policemen walked free after choking 34-year-old Eric Garner to death on the street for selling ‘loosies’, or loose cigarettes. The combined national outrage at these tragedies erupted onto American streets in a way I have not witnessed since the bloody protest era of the Vietnam War. Watching in Chicago I was oddly proud of those who stopped traffic and created snarls in order that the world pay some attention to the class war that has seemingly snuck up on them. That Michael Brown and Eric Garner were poor should surprise nobody. In America? Cops can ONLY get away with killing poor people. 22

All over Miami Beach Dopes, Dim-Wits, and Dullards are staring at their iPhones, passing by a full gorgeous view of the Atlantic ocean, with its schools of porpoises and flying fish, and they’re watching for the latest tweet, text, or e-mail to arrive with earth-shattering news of where the Gagosian party is, pondering which dinner can they insinuate themselves into? Part of my own problem with this milieu is the worry that this is now how young artists think this is supposed to be done - art career via social-suction. It’s about who you know and all manner of horse-shit that has nothing to do with being an artist or making art. I want to shake them and tell them to wake the fuck up. The art fair circle-jerk is a celebration of the market, not the art. It is an environment where everyone knows the cost of everything and the definition of nothing. Admittedly my last art trip to Miami was two years ago; while there were some glimmers of hope in the margins of this rolling goat-fuck, the news this year that there was a ‘nap-station’ for those who were tired from shopping and exchanging great thoughts made me think about just how twee and vacuous this whole enterprise is.

Dealer Profile: Lisa Janes, Alibi Fine Art Q: The gallery has focused on photography. Will you continue to feature photography exclusively moving forward? A: I intend to continue to exclusively concentrate on photography. It is the medium I know and love best, and currently there are very few galleries in Chicago dedicated solely to it. I took Alibi on because I liked Adam’s selection of artists and the direction he had taken the gallery in up to that point. Deviations are inevitable, especially as I add new artists to the Alibi roster and explore potential collaborations with other organizations, but I aim to maintain the core characteristics established early on. Q: The CGN office regularly receives questions from artists about how they can get dealers to look at their work. Do you also get this question often, and are you open to reviewing new submissions even if you’re not seeking additional artists? A: I do get this question frequently, and I am sympathetic to it. Unfortunately I do not have time to respond to the numerous inquiries I receive, so I am not open to looking at unsolicited art, especially not in person. I jury and review portfolios through events such as Filter Photo Festival, and I encourage artists to take advantage of similar opportunities if they want their work to be seen by gallerists and curators.

An installation view in Alibi Fine Art’s new Ravenswood location

Q: You recently moved the gallery from Montrose to your current Ravenswood address. How is your new space?

BY LAURA MILLER Alibi Fine Art is a young gallery dedicated to photography - one of the few in Chicago that focuses exclusively on the medium. Located in Ravenswood on the city’s north side, Alibi is owned and operated by Lisa Janes. New to gallery ownership as of spring 2014, Janes continues to push the photo-centric mission of the gallery forward while aiming to highlight the work of often overlooked artists. Janes shared some insight with Chicago Gallery News about her new role at the gallery as well as her own interest in photography. - LM

A: The new location is working out well. Most of Alibi’s regulars have found me by now, and I have gotten a lot of new foot traffic from events such as the Ravenswood Art Walk. Sharing space with Manifold Chicago provides good cross-disciplinary traffic and the closer proximity to Lillstreet Art Center has benefited us as well. Q: How important is foot traffic to you and the gallery? A: I place slightly more importance on those who seek the gallery out because they tend to be the most loyal enthusiasts for the medium, however, I have had a lot of luck with repeat visitors who began as walk-ins.

Q: Tell me about your background and your interest in art. A: I am originally from Alaska, but I have lived all over the country since I left for college. I studied art at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. After receiving my BA, I completed the professional photography program at the New England School of Photography in Boston. I arrived in Chicago to take over the gallery last spring.

Q: What new shows do you have scheduled this spring? A: Coming up is David Akiba’s homage to Harry Callahan in the spring, followed by Dan Farnum’s color photographs of urban youth in Michigan. Plans are in the works to participate in more art fairs in 2015. Farther down the road I would like to work with artists from disadvantaged backgrounds to provide a way for them to show work that would otherwise go unseen.

Q: Are you an artist? A: I am an artist myself, though I rarely exhibit my own work. Q: Alibi Fine Art was established in July 2010 by Adam Holtzman (now one of Alibi’s represented artists), and you took ownership in the spring of 2014. How did this transition come about? A: Before I took ownership of Alibi last spring I was curating at a small gallery in Urbana, IL. Adam and I are old friends from school, and I had asked him to consign some of Joseph Sterling’s work to the gallery for an exhibit. During our collaboration he came up with the idea to turn Alibi over to me before he moved his family back to the east coast. It was something I had always wanted to do, and it was an opportunity I could not pass up.

Q: Do you have any big plans for the year ahead? A: A current professional goal is to find interesting ways to spotlight my artists through social media, events, and collaborations. Alibi Fine Art 4426 N. Ravenswood (60640) Tel 773-454-1512 F-Sa 12-6; and by appt. www.alibifineart.com 23

Art Builds Community in Uptown FLATS BY MARY DEYOE In Uptown, one block off the Wilson red line El stop, is the old Wilson Avenue Theatre - a former vaudeville theatre and site of one of Charlie Chaplin’s early performances. It was recently a TCF Bank. Today it is FLATS STUDIO, an arts center associated with FLATS apartments, based on a simple hope that art can build community. The grand foyer of the space has a high arched ceiling, and stark white walls are framed by Corinthian columns. With bare bones lighting and temporary walls that are more like large signboards, FLATS STUDIO possesses a raw, rustic feeling that strikes an appropriate aesthetic balance for the neighborhood. Uptown itself is a mix of million dollar homes and run down or abandoned spaces. You see a Starbucks on one block and a Dollar Store on the next. “We really wanted to use this space,” said Jay Michael, co-founder of FLATS, “as a means of bridging the gap between development and gentrification.” Since the first show in September 2014, the gallery has attracted a diverse audience including members of the community, SAIC professors and students, artists, and tenants from FLATS apartments. “We did not create FLATS STUDIO for our tenants, but it has been exciting to see them at the events,” said Michael. FLATS STUDIO hosts an opening for each show on the third Thursday of each month. The gallery’s December show, Playtime, featured work by roughly 10 artists, all of whom explored a different approach to the idea of play. In the center of the room was a small plastic slide and other playground structures. Nearby was work by artist and FLATS STUDIO co-curator Edward Muela: two orange paper mache rifles with arms and fingers poised in a gun shape (the thumbs up) for the barrels. And in a back room, on the bars of a defunct bank vault door, was a nice blue neon light bent into an elegant flourish.

professional commercial photographers. Co-Edit was founded by Chicago-based photographer Tim Klein. “We just let Tim take over the space,” said Michael. Michael has also curated a section of work on Co-Edit’s site.

The next show planned for FLATS STUDIO will be a collaboration with Chicago Public Schools, featuring work by high school juniors and seniors. SAIC graduate and co-curator Audra Jacot has a Bachelor’s degree in sculpture and a Masters in Art and Technology. Jacot is also a substitute teacher for the CPS Advanced Arts Program. “I am very excited about this show, and the students are extremely excited to show their work outside of the classroom.”

FLATS residential spaces are also filled with original art, each building featuring the work of one artist. At 4875 Magnolia photographs by Bob Rehak adorn the walls. In the 1970s Rehak lived and worked in Uptown and photographed residents. “Rehak’s work is almost the precursor to the site ‘Humans of New York,’” said Michael of the popular website that features portraits of everyday people on the streets of New York City. Hanging Rehak’s work in Uptown is a subtle way of connecting current residents with the past.

While art was not the focus when FLATS was formed, Michael said the desire to incorporate art into the business was natural, “and we’re only moving forward.” Prior to FLATS STUDIO, the company used vacant ground level commercial space in their buildings for exhibitions. For a year, JC Steinbrunner hosted his Salon Series at the FLATS 1325 Wilson Ave. location. Before that, Chicago artist and Bravo’s Work of Art contestant, Young Sun Han, curated pop up shows featuring work by other local artists.

“We have had a lot of fun meeting all of the artists,” said Jacot, and with such a large number of artists applying to show in the space, she is excited about all of the possibilities. In addition to supporting the arts through exhibitions, FLATS offers artists reduced rent to live in the studio apartments. To apply artists must demonstrate a commitment to their work and be below a certain annual salary. “This is another way we can support the arts,” said Michael. In the future, FLATS will include work space for artists, including a metal shop, woodworking facilities, and other amenities.

Artists for the FLATS STUDIO are selected by an application process. “In general, what we are looking for is a show theme,” said Jacot. All of the artists featured are local, which is important to Michael and Jacot, in order to keep the program centered on Chicago. “We want all aspects of our business to be hyper-local.”

FLATS STUDIO may not have been in Michael’s original company design, but it has certainly made a strong impression.

In January the FLATS offices will move to Uptown’s former Salvation Army building, where they will display photography from Chicago-based Co-Edit Collection, a website that sells work by 24

Rembrandts for the Rehabilitation Institute Art offers healing powers in a variety of ways. In Chicago, an important gallery exhibition of rare etchings by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijns benefits the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The special show at R.S. Johnson Fine Art, established in 1955 and specializing in works ranging from Old Master works on paper to 19th and 20th Century paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture, is gallery owner Stanley Johnson’s way to draw attention to RIC’s work and to thank the Institute for helping him get back on his feet following a stroke. Last fall Johnson told friends in a letter, “Eighteen months ago, as the result of a stroke, I suddenly was paralyzed from head to foot and was brought by ambulance to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago...Today, thanks to the RIC, I am back on my feet: working, traveling the world and walking one to two miles daily.”

Holocaust Photography Exhibited in 2015

The Illinois Holocaust Musuem and Education Center in suburban Skokie is always considering new and varied ways to communicate the many complicated perspectives of one of the 20th Century’s defining attrocities. A new exhibition coming to the museum examines images captured by Soviet Jewish photojournalists. Although World War II is one of the most documented conflicts of that century, western audiences know very little about these photographers who captured some of the most riveting and powerful images of the war. These wartime photographers were the first liberators to bear witness with cameras to Nazi atrocities, three years before Americans arrived at Buchenwald and Dachau. Photographers merged documentary photography with avant-garde sensibilities to create works that had a profound influence on 20th century art and beyond. Here art meets history.

Through Soviet Jewish Eyes: Photography, War, and the Holocaust is curated by David Shneer and Lisa Tamiris Becker, and is organized by the CU Art Museum, University of Colorado Boulder. February 22 – September 7, 2015 www.ilholocaustmuseum.org 27
