Chicago does artist-run like no other. I was so happy to write about the HARD WORK the fine folks at @juliuscaesarchicago have been up to, preview some of the coolest booths at the @barely_fair function, and of course get lost in the art historical sauce a lil bit. Thanks for speaking with me @roropaints, @_tony_lewis_, @daisyroseduguid, @bodyconfidence, @project_art_distribution, @_rebeccaeaton @_themission_, & @jimddempsey @corbettvsdempsey. Thank you as always to my captain at the good ship @chicago_reader @booksnotboyz for editorial support and suggesting a BF BTS. See you at the fair!

I laughed so much researching & writing this story about ten years of Western Pole for the @chicago_reader. Thank you Jesse @marmblatt for your commitment to this work, Brian @patientinfo for hosting the exhibition, Kerry @booksnotboyz for great edits, and Jen @jendelosreyes, Jessica @jessica_campbell_art, Lia @liairenekohl, and Max @leaf_bootleg for your interviews. Thank you to all 300(ish) artists who have participated in Western Pole over the past decade. I am very grateful (on the eve of Official American Gratitude Day™️, no less!) to live in Chicago and be in community with so many creative, resilient, and dogged as hell folks.

Last slide is a Mariame Kaba quote (from a 2018 episode of Beyond Prisons) that didn't make the story but deeply informed the writing.

You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger fan of @theandicrist than me. She works so hard, looks out for everyone in her orbit, and has developed a truly unique style and practice. It was a pleasure to write about Andi for @newcitymag's annual Breakout Artist issue. Congratulations to all of this year's artists and shoutout to all the contributing writers!

In today's @chicago_reader: a profile of the BTS (as in behind-the-scenes) boys over at @bob.mov. It feels groovy to celebrate their work, which in turn celebrates so many. Chicago, I love you, let's keep going.

Stepping into 2025 with new headshots/portraits by the talented Ash Dye - who made the whole process very straightforward (there WAS a moodboard [slide 9]) and comfortable. You should hire Ash for your photography needs. @_ash_dye_

Also did a big website update [slide 10]. I wrote a lot in 2024. Hoping to keep that up.

I loved talking to Isabelle and Karsten about this exhibition at the Renaissance Society. Maybe you will like reading about it? Some secrets revealed! Online and in print today! Page-mates with editor extraordinaire Kerry Cardoza's great story about the "cerebral" and overlooked painter Gertrude Abercrombie in the print weekly. Swipe for me haunting the cabin by Laurel.

I loved talking to Isabelle and Karsten about this exhibition at the Renaissance Society. Maybe you will like reading about it? Some secrets revealed! Online and in print today! Page-mates with editor extraordinaire Kerry Cardoza's great story about the "cerebral" and overlooked painter Gertrude Abercrombie in the print weekly. Swipe for me haunting the cabin by Laurel.

This Sunday at 1 pm join me @21chotelchicago for the next talk in our On Creative Practice series. Arts and culture writer Erin Toale will be in conversation with textile artist Bryana Bibbs to discuss artistic practice, the importance of family history and how to make a life as an artist.

Bryana’s work is currently on display in Gallery 3 as a part of the Elevate series at 21c Chicago and this will be the last opportunity to see her work before the exhibition ends.

I hope you’re able to join us for this compelling and intimate conversation.
