Chicago Galleries

We all have internal conflicts. Seeing someone else conscientiously explore their dichotomies sheds light on all of our own issues.

A previous ArtLetter surveyed our readers and they graded the Cultural Center the highest. These shows will help you understand why.

A cold night, but some good art on the horizon.

Unfortunately, I sense that there are numerous galleries that are not going to be around much longer. I doubt they have anyone to fault but themselves.

There are a lot of shows opening - and the ones I'm writing about are just the tip of the iceberg. Go out and find out for yourself. And even if you disagree with me, you're certain to find a lot you'll like.

Here is an installation that bravely and wildly exposes the creative process, throws it in front of your face, in all its messy, hand-made, stream-of-consciousness glory. It's literally like peering into the mind of an artist, and in this case an extremely talented, witty, thoughtful one.
