ON THE COVER The Chicago Arts District Thrives in Pilsen East This issue’s cover image: Fountainhead Lofts Building, 4Art Gallery 1932 S. Halsted Pilsen East, Chicago Not unlike the industrial boom that created the neighborhood over 100 years ago, Pilsen East has seen a wave of new settlers entering its more than century-old buildings and occupying storefronts along South Halsted: creative entrepreneurs.
08 4:23:23 PM
Perhaps it’s a sense of kindred spirit with ghosts from one of the nation’s first unionization battles that attracts this new breed of artisans. Tools of the trade are no longer hammers or sewing machines, but rather pigments and brushes and pixels and computers.
The modern day flexibility of the buildings here allows galleries to act as more than just a showplace: it’s home, studio, intimate meeting space, inspiration—all gathered in a concentrated environment where galleries and artists are mixed in a mélange, giving it the sense of always being fresh and dynamic. The neighborhood has already proven itself an incubator for creativity and artistic success with hundreds of artists having launched national careers. Chicago Arts District 2nd Fridays, within(Reason) Gallery
Today more than 35 galleries and over 100 artists participate in monthly openings called 2nd Fridays, giving people a taste of an environment that spawns big ideas. Chicago Arts District 2nd Fridays 35 Galleries. One night. One Neighborhood. January 9th, February 13th and March 13th from 6-10pm.

Theaster Gates
2009 comes on the heels of many changes – downs and ups of every kind, around the world as well as at home, where Chicago is getting a lot more attention following 2008’s presidential election and our 2016 Olympics bid. We’re now showing others what makes our home quite a bit different from other cities: all at the same time we’re local, worldly, hardworking, sophisticated and accessible. We have much of which to be genuinely proud, but we’re not showy. The same characteristics are true of our unique art community. We’ve been on the same rocky road as everyone else, but we’re still solid and optimistic because that’s Chicago. So, this winter take the chance to get a many-sided look at what sets our galleries, artists, institutions, and even ourselves, apart. Our winter weather can actually help us go out and visit galleries because we’re forced to slow down and choose our outings wisely. We’re inclined to linger longer indoors in spaces and museums, to see art a little more deliberately. Winter’s lighter schedule is refreshing; having fewer obligations allows for more spontaneous plans.
Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) 220 East Chicago Ave. January 3 - February 1 Theaster Gates is a self-proclaimed trickster and preacher, and according to him, practicing art has become increasingly difficult to separate from the rest of life. Gates himself is a dynamic presence at art events and exhibitions around the city, and this winter he constructs a temple-like structure at the MCA that merges aspects of African American and Japanese traditions.
The construction will be worth visiting more than once: it also serves as a contemplative space meant to inspire dialogue across philosophical and cultural boundaries on topics ranging from politics and religion to culture, food, and art as well as a performative space for the Black Monks, a group of Baptist-Buddhist musicians who mix slave spirituals, monastic chants, and jazz to create a singular sonorous experience.
Jim Lutes The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, Cobb Hall 5811 South Ellis Ave. January 4 - February 15
This issue of CGN hopefully offers lots of inspiration to take up new routines, go new places and indulge in Chicago. If you think you can just hide out until the spring art fair season, I urge you to get out there now - go to galleries for First Thursdays. Go downtown for a weekend Architecture tour, since you’ve probably been on the summer boat tour with every houseguest you’ve ever hosted. Look more closely at the city’s public art around town. And visit the Art Institute while it’s FREE for the month of February. Jim Lutes, The Mark, egg tempera on panel, 2006, 411/2 ” x 35 1/2”
When I recently took part in artist K.S. Rive’s Before I Die I Want To... project, I said I want to bake a soufflé. Then I got home and came up with about 40 other things I wanted to do next week! So, I encourage everyone to pick 3 new things to do just by the end of March. Go to Pilsen for 2nd Fridays. Tour the Cultural Center or the new Driehaus Museum. Visit an art center. Meet an artist. Visit 4 photography galleries in a weekend or 10 openings in a single night. It felt at times like the bad news didn’t stop in 2008. But our city is full of undiscovered places, new opportunities and so much creativity. Art world veterans said to me that I’m still new to our art community, and we will all certainly have to weather tumultuous economic periods again in the future. The past year was a new beginning for CGN, but we’re here for the long haul to always support our art community and Chicago. Consider what art is worth to Chicago and what it is worth to you, and then go find what you like here at home. Make a resolution to include art in more areas of your life this year. We will be even prouder of our city this year; with so many now interested, think about all the ways to confidently answer, “What’s so great about Chicago?” - Ginny Berg

Chicago-based painter Jim Lutes is often considered heir to the Imagist tradition. Only part of the story, Lutes came to artistic maturity in the late 1970’s and exemplifies a larger and more complex art historical narrative that entails the emergence of figuration and regionalism under the declining influence of abstract expressionism. Over several bodies of work, Lutes vacillated between a populist mode of figuration and a painterly abstraction.
This mid-career retrospective at the Renaissance Society surveys Lutes’s career from his gritty Chicago cityscapes and narratives of disillusionment of the ‘80s, to his process-based abstraction in the ‘90s: a synthesis of figuration and his a lyrical process-based abstraction. Lutes is represented by Valerie Carberry Gallery, located in the John Hancock Building at 875 N. Michigan Ave.
William Conger: Paintings 1958-2008 Chicago Cultural Center 78 East Washington St. January 24 - March 29 William Conger’s work has been a part of Chicago’s artistic fabric for decades, and now a 50-year retrospective of his work will be shown downtown at the Chicago Cultural Center. In 2002 Conger designed Intersections ~ Chicago for the 18th District Police Station at 1160 N. Larrabee on the city’s north side. The work unifies the public areas around the station and reflects the rich history, cultural complexity and William Conger, Geisha, oil on wood, 36x36”, 2008 urban atmosphere of the neighborhoods served by the facility. Just one example of how Conger’s career has long been tied to Chicago’s Public Art Program, it is fitting now that the city is showing his vivid, formally composed, abstract work to Chicagoans and visitors during our darkest months. The exhibition offers many opportunities to contemplate Conger’s ambiguous references and perhaps to see something new each visit. Conger is represented by Roy Boyd Gallery, located in River North at 739 N. Wells. 16
Richard H. Driehaus Museum Exhibits Fine and Decorative Arts For many years, the sooty, dark mansion on Erie, between Rush and Wabash, sat awkwardly among the big steel high rises that popped up overnight. The property quietly waited alongside the Michigan Avenue frenzy.
Each issue, Chicago Gallery News founder Natalie van Straaten answers a popular question we receive from our interested readers.
The building is Samuel M. Nickerson’s “Marble Palace,” built between 1879 and 1883, and it was one of the grandest residential buildings erected in 19th Century Chicago. Today the Richard H. Driehaus Museum occupies the Library Ceiling Gilded Age mansion, exhibiting period objects Richard H. Driehaus Museum from the Driehaus Collection of Fine and Decorative Arts alongside original furnishings from the mansion. A well-known advocate for historic preservation, Chicago businessman and philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus founded the Museum in 2003. It took five years of extensive and exhaustive restorations to return the building to its former glory, but today the public is invited to tour the Museum building and its art collection. Winter is a fine time to linger indoors and marvel at the ornament of the architecture, the immense scale of the decoration and the many materials that are incorporated in the building’s design. Visitors will find 17 types of marble inside and a prized, unique collection of late 19th and early 20th century fine and decorative art. The museum also boasts one of the largest private collections of work by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Described as a “splendid survivor amongst the hulking high-rises of River North,” the Museum is a must-see attraction for those interested in American architecture, decorative arts, historic preservation, and the history of Chicago. That the building has been so painstakingly restored, and its art shown to the public when clean lines and open floor plans have become much more in vogue, is a testament to the importance of historic preservation. Tastes are naturally ever changing, and new homes are still being built all around the River North neighborhood where the mansion is today. Taking time to tour the museum and peer into another age is to see a bit of Chicago’s past taste as well as its glory. Our city’s expansion has come at the expense of some buildings that were not saved or even fought for, but Chicago has long been an important, dynamic architectural center. In order to appreciate what’s new, it is helpful to still visit the old. The Richard H. Driehaus Museum 40 East Erie Street (60611) Tours are $25 for adults, given on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. www.driehausmuseum.org

Ask Natalie
Question: Is art a good investment? Answer: Of course art is a good investment if you mean: is it worth what I am paying for it? To be a good investment, you should expect to get long-term pleasure and satisfaction from the purchase, and the work also should hold its value. But never buy artwork only for the sake of making a financial investment. Instead, think about its quality, your passion for it, and your desire to experience it every day. If your art does increase in value, consider yourself fortunate that you did not have to pay more for it. Unlike stocks, bonds and similar investments, art is not liquid. Although you can go back to the dealer who sold you the piece, or find a dealer who represents the artist, remember that you bought it at “retail” and when they try to resell it for you, they will need to take a commission on the resale. Sometimes, you can arrange to “trade up” – but it is unlikely that the dealer will simply buy a work back when you decide to sell it years later. Similarly with an auction house, unless the artist’s work has substantially appreciated in value, it is unlikely that you will be able to sell it for more than your purchase price. One way of looking at the investment issue is to compare it with the purchase of a diamond. You buy it because you love it, get pleasure from it, and it holds its value over time. Should you sell it to a jeweler – your diamond must compete with those that he can buy elsewhere. Therefore, its value has to substantially appreciate for you to recoup your dollar investment. Learning about art takes time and effort. You should look at a lot of art before you buy, and pay an appropriate price. Find a dealer you can trust (if he/she pushes the financial “investment” issue, consider that a red flag of caution and run the other way). Learn why the art is priced the way it is, and ask for biographical background about the artist. In the case of the secondary market (artwork that has been owned previously), the provenance – or history – of the piece should also be made available. In short, become an educated collector. Buy what you can afford; stretch a little if you are confident in your choice as well as in the person who is selling it to you. It will be well worth the price. - Natalie van Straaten Founding Publisher, Chicago Gallery News

TM: I have known you for more than 15 years, and you have always had a great passion for the art business. Now you have recently become a member of the Art Dealers Association of Chicago (CADA). Your reputation is growing - how long has it been for Kasia Kay Art Projects? KK: Wow, it's been a while. I opened my first, and short-lived, gallery in River North in Chicago in 1997. It was called “Art-Tech” and the gallery's focus was on kinetic art. One of six exhibitions was reviewed in the Chicago Tribune’s art section. TM: Give us a brief life story leading up to the opening of KK Projects. KK: Art has always been present in my life; it's simply something I grew up with. There are artists, architects and literati (my mom) in my family. I've never become an artist I wanted to be once. The gallery is my creative outlet, an "extension" of my vision & understanding of 21st century art. TM: Over the past few years we have talked about the fact that many dealers do more business outside of Chicago than in; is that true for you? If so can you give us a percentage – business here versus elsewhere? KK: It's approximately 50/50 that I do business here and there. More vanguard artwork ends up in both NY and internationally based collections. TM: Some have said the art world is extremely sexist. Have you found that to be true? Feel free to explain beyond yes or no. KK: I believe that the truth is somewhere in between. This would have to be a longer discussion, or argument, so I will leave the answer as it is for this interview. TM: In what ways has your gallery changed from when you first began, in terms of artists or philosophy or approach? KK: The gallery has grown with its certain artists, and vice-versa, they have grown with the gallery. My philosophy has not changed, but I've been narrowing down the selection of work that I want to exhibit. On the other hand, I'd like to have more time and funds to be able to get back to productions of site-specific installations. I like to bring ART out of the “white-cube” environment to people on streets, to regular passers–by. This way they can interact with it unexpectedly and, sooner or later, think about what they have experienced. TM: How do you answer, "What is your gallery all about?" KK: It's about 21st century art in a wide cultural context. The gallery's program is comprised of established and upcoming artists working in a variety of media, gallery exhibitions and curatorial projects, as well as site-specific installations. By promoting a diverse group of artists I wish to create a continuous dialogue with both a local and global community. TM: How many submissions a year do you receive from artists? KK: Too many. And sadly too many artists try too hard; they either have no respect for the gallery's program, or simply don't really know what their work is about. I hope one day they clarify their philosophy and find a gallery that is a good fit for them. TM: Can you talk to us about the pros and cons of being located in the West Loop? KK: There are no cons here. It's all about pros. TM: Have you ever thought about having a gallery in another city or country? If not perhaps you can tell us what your long vision is for KK Projects. KK: I've always wanted to be in NY and have been tempted by certain European art centers. Kasia Kay Art Projects Gallery The gallery's participation at various international 1044 W. Fulton Market (60607) art fairs is, of course to a certain extent only, Tel 312-492-8828 a vehicle that allows me to be at those places. www.kasiakaygallery.com I shall continue this way for a while. 19
The annual Southern Graphics Council Conference draws attention to an art medium that has been responsive to changing technologies but that also retains otherwise obsolete techniques. Printmakers employ the latest digital imaging tools as well as centuries-old techniques; as our world becomes increasingly interdependent, local print practices are at once threatened, celebrated, worthy of preservation and dangerously divisive. Printmakers’ resources are limited, and what is done in one location will probably affect someone, somewhere else. Digital files can circle the world in seconds, and new technologies change the nature of exchange. Prints can be made and exhibitions can be mounted in ways that break away from white walls to include installations, printed artists’ books, graffiti prints and paste-ups on city streets, even work that exists only in cyberspace.
Global Implications: Southern Graphics Conference comes to Chicago in March
Taking place in Chicago this year, events for 1,200 people take place in over 40 citywide venues, including host Columbia College’s affiliated spaces, the Art Institute of Chicago and the School of the Art Institute, the Chicago Cultural Center, neighborhood & community-based art centers, and area art galleries. Chicago Gallery News’s pullout maps indicate some participating galleries, so check out our maps and website for up-to-date information.
