NEWS - WHAT’S HAPPENINGLetter from the Publisher: renewal in the new year

Happy new year! 2014 is upon us and I’ve been anticipating the start to this year for quite awhile. In this winter issue we are look-ing forward to many new exhibitions in galleries and museums around the city, and things are taking shape to make this a year of fresh takes on the issues of our day.

Recently I read a Wall Street Journal interview with the collector and philanthropist Eli Broad. When discussing his many reasons for collect-ing art, Broad spent quite a bit of time talking about the ever changing market and the atten-tion on the stratospheric prices a lot of works have achieved in the past few years, but he also pointed out that what really resonates with him are “artists’ thoughts on the ‘human condition.’” I liked this point of view because it brought home to me the reason why, despite the market ups and downs and the numbers game many people follow, we really ought to pay close

attention to what artists are doing in their work and how they explain what moves them to create engaging art. What they see every day in the world and how they see it is different from how you and I do. We can read the newspa-per and listen to pundits all day long, but how artists reveal their thoughts and perspectives on a range of current issues and conditions can enlighten us, enrage us, or simply make us stop and appreciate a moment. They draw from a deeper well of meaning and share their resourc-es with the rest of us.

When collectors Eileen and Peter Broido spoke with Kevin Nance for this issue, their passion for collecting recalled familiar sentiments about connecting with artists and the energetic dealers who represent them. The couple has been collecting for decades, but for them the adventure never ends.

In the museum world, many starts get going in 2014. Nance interviewed Solveig Øvstebø, the Renaissance Society’s first new director in 40 years. The Norweigan Øvstebø is young and

eager to experiment at the Ren. Continuing the spirit of a new year and new beginnings, Franck Mercurio previews the reopening of Northwestern University’s Block Museum this January. After closing last summer the museum freshened up its galleries and took the oppor-tunity to mount two new exhibitions. Mercurio also highlights local artist William J. O’Brien’s first major survey exhibition opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art in January, which will introduce many to his work for the first time as well as surprise those familiar with his engaging, tactile sculptures.

And there is still more. Illustrator Edward Gorey’s works will be celebrated at LUMA. Christoper Wool comes to the Art Institute. Two major conferences take place here this winter: the College Art Association returns in February, while the Glass Art Society arrives in March. The Chicago International Art, Antique & Jewelry Show debuts in Navy Pier’s Festival Hall at the end of April. There is so much to explore in Chicago this season. Art in every form from every period will fill up our year.

BY FRANCK MERCURIO

William J. O’Brien’s first big solo museum exhibition at the Renaissance Society in 2011 helped cement his reputation as a skilled ceram-icist. Standing out from the 100 ceramic works were O’Brien’s “busts”—highly expressive, human-like heads that carry a wide range of cultural references from 19th century face jugs to rubber Halloween masks. These pieces read as engaging psychological portraits, but they also showcase O’Brien’s accomplishments in the medium of clay.

So, it may be surprising to learn that the 38-year-old, Chicago-based artist is well versed in a variety of media—besides ceramics—in-cluding assemblage, painting, drawing, and metal sculpture. Examples of each genre are presented in O’Brien’s first comprehensive museum exhibition, William J. O’Brien, opening January 25 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. “The work in the studio was nothing like the stuff I saw in the [Renaissance Society] show. He had all these other incredible bodies of work,” says MCA curator Naomi Beckwith who organized the O’Brien exhibition. “What I wanted to do was to bring the breadth of his works out to the public.”

O’Brien first exhibited at the MCA in 2005 as part of the museum’s 12 x 12 series (now called BMO Harris Chicago Works). He was also includ-ed in the MCA’s group exhibition Phantom Limb: Approaches to Painting Today in 2012.

“Bill is clearly someone, institutionally, who we’ve been watching for some time,” says Beckwith.

O’Brien’s current exhibition is the latest install-ment in the MCA’s “ascendant artist” series—which has featured such notables as Rashid Johnson, Amalia Pica, and Paul Sietsema. As the word “ascendant” implies, these exhibitions present artists who are not quite at mid-career, but are on the brink of fame. Says Beckwith, “We’re catching people on their way up.”

O’Brien is the first Chicago-based artist to be showcased in the MCA’s ascendant artist series. “It’s really great to feature someone located here [in Chicago], someone who’s already showing in New York,” says Beckwith. “It’s nice to come home and look at the talent that’s right under our noses.”

In addition to being represented by the Shane Campbell Gallery in Chicago, O’Brien is also represented by the Marianne Boesky Gallery in

New York and the Almine Rech Gallery in Paris.

The physicality O’Brien brings to his art is a constant that runs through each genre he tackles.

“He has such a bodily invest-ment in the work that he produces,” says Beckwith, “You can see him really working across the page in the drawings. You can see him wrapping, mold-ing, reshaping, breaking and sticking things together in the assemblage work.”

Representative of the physical-ity of O’Brien’s process is the layering of tex-tures in his work. His ceramic busts are heavily textured, often featuring knobs of clay protruding from glazed surfaces, giving a kind of bumpy, nubby appearance. Some of O’Brien’s “paintings” are assemblag-es constructed of layers of detritus—packing materials, old clothes, sticks—all covered in a unifying pigment. His metal sculptures are created by welding a series of planar elements together, giving the impression of texture through layering. Even O’Brien’s drawings are multilayered.

A counter-balance to the “masculine physical-ity” of O’Brien’s pieces is his interest in color, pattern, and naïve forms—qualities that are often associated with feminist artists, outsider artists, and/or artists of color.

“There is almost a kind of feminist gesture there,” says Beckwith, “where you see his work moving from the decorative, associated with

women’s work, to something that feels like abstraction. You see his work veering from quilting and textile to assemblage.”

This push-and-pull between masculine and feminine, art and craft, high and low is evident throughout all of O’Brien’s works. “He’s think-ing about those things that have been dropped out of art history,” says Beckwith, “while using those things that have been valued by art history.”

In September 2011 a fire almost completely destroyed O’Brien’s studio and the studios of three other artists in an Avondale warehouse. Many of his works were lost. Luckily, enough works survived in the galleries and in the hands of collectors that the current MCA show could still be mounted. New pieces have filled the

gaps, including a large-scale, site specific installation that Beckwith describes as “totemic objects” exploring the idea of “monuments to feelings.” When speaking of O’Brien’s likely reception at the MCA, Beckwith stated, “He’s been teaching at the School of the Art Institute for a while. It’s going to be amazing to have his students here [at the MCA] alongside his colleagues. Clearly, he has a collection base and group of supporters here in the city. It’s nice to have what feels like a big family hug around William at this time.”

Accompanying the MCA exhibition will be a mono-graph, William J. O’Brien, co-written by Beckwith and Trevor Smith of the Peabody Essex Museum, which will include a creative writing piece by local critic Jason Foumberg. The monograph will include a checklist of the 140 objects to be displayed in the MCA exhibition.

By KEVIN NANCE

When Peter and Eileen Broido moved from the west suburbs to a highrise condo overlooking downtown Chicago in 2004, it wasn’t the spectacular view of the Chicago River and the Loop that was the primary selling point.

“It was the wall space,” Peter Broido says. “That and the size of the freight elevator.”

He smiles when he says it, but he isn’t kidding. The Broidos needed plenty of room to display their impressive collection of contemporary art, which currently consists of nearly 180 paintings, sculptures and mixed-media pieces on view. (An additional 50 artworks reside at their adult children’s homes on the East Coast, with about 30 more pieces in storage.) And the freight elevator was of real concern. Early on, a recently acquired 10-foot-wide panoramic photograph by Gerard Maynard missed fitting into the elevator by a couple of inches. The building management suggested that the piece could be hoisted by crane to the Broidos’ balcony more than 30 floors above the riverbank, but in the Windy City this seemed like too much of a risk; in the end, they donated the photograph to the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Another acquisition, a large painting by Chicago artist Judy Ledgerwood, made it into the elevator but couldn’t be brought through the apartment door because the corridor outside was too narrow; the painting’s frame had to be broken down and reassembled inside the apartment.

Such are the adventures of one of the city’s most prolific art-collecting couples, who have spent the past 40 years in daily dialogue with art. They’ve feathered their 2,600-square-foot nest with works by Chicago artists (Ledgerwood, Jim Nutt, Karl Wirsum, Curtis Mann, Tom Friedman, John Pittman and Stephanie Brooks, among others) and others from elsewhere in the United States (John Baldessari, Jane Hammond, Jenny Holzer, Byron Kim, Chris Martin, Bruce Nauman, Jon Pestoni, Raymond Pettibon, Lari Pittman, Zak Prekop, Richard Tuttle, Kehinde Wiley, etc.). Most recently they’ve begun branching out to Europe, with emphasis on works by German artists such as Frank Nietzsche.

Abstract painting dominates the collection, which also includes a smattering of mixed-media work, notably a large painted collage on a sculpted metal and canvas substructure by the Argentine-American artist Fabian Marcaccio. A group of works on paper—including works by Nutt and Tuttle—take refuge in a bathroom, where they’re shielded from the natural light that otherwise suffuses the apartment.

Most of the pieces were acquired soon after their creation and early in the artists’ careers; the Broidos collect only what they like, not what they think might appreciate in monetary value. “We don’t do it as an investment,” Peter Broido says. “The fun for us is finding art, putting our money where our mouth is, and seeing what happens. And it’s been OK.”

The Broidos rarely sell their holdings (though they do sometimes trade one piece for another), instead choosing to donate to museums. Beneficiaries of their largesse include the Museum of Contemporary Art (where the Broidos are longtime supporters and members of MCA’s Merge, a collecting group), the Akron Art Museum and the Elmhurst Art Museum, which displayed several Broido-donated works this fall as part of Inventory, an exhibition of EAM’s collection.

“What strikes me about Peter and Eileen’s collecting is that they’re focused on emerging artists,” says Staci Boris, EAM’s chief curator. “They like to seek out new artists, not people who have a track record or are well known. They enjoy the discovery aspect of it, the process of figuring out who is interesting and who has a future. They’re unique in their vision, and they don’t follow trends.”

Along the way, the Broidos have become fixtures on the Chicago art scene, mixing with artists, curators, gallerists and other collectors with an ease born of an engagement sustained over four decades. As Eileen Broido puts it with a smile, “We’re kind of part of the woodwork in Chicago.”

The Broidos’ collecting journey began soon after they moved to the Chicago area in 1969. (Originally from Manhattan—where he spent much of his undergraduate years at Columbia University visiting art galleries at a time when you could pick up a Jasper Johns painting for $500—Peter Broido was a surgeon at Central DuPage Hospital for many years; his wife was a nurse.) Although they lived 30 miles west of the Loop, the young couple came into the city most weekends. “We spent a lot of time on the Eisenhower Expressway,” he recalls with a smile. One day they were walking down Michigan Avenue and turned east on Ontario, where they were met with a scene that reminded them of Disney’s Fantasia: a row of people coming out of an art gallery carrying small paintings.

“It was like those walking buckets from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Peter Broido recalls. “The Phyllis Kind Gallery had had a show of Roger Brown paintings, and people were taking their pieces home with them.”

The Broidos were enchanted. They didn’t buy a Brown then—though they would do so a half-dozen times in the years to come—but they met Kind, who introduced them to the Hairy Who painters, including Wirsum, Nutt and Gladys Nilsson, along with other Imagists including Brown and Ed Paschke. “That was fun,” recalls Eileen Broido, who was so enthused that she went back to college, studying art history at the University of Illinois at Chicago and, later, the University of Chicago.

In the next two decades, the Broidos amassed one of the city’s largest and most significant collections of Imagist painting, focusing on works that combined figurative and abstract elements. Over the years, however, they began to feel that the Imagists were stuck in a bit of a rut. The turning point came with a Paschke retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1989-90. “We looked at it and said, ‘Ed Paschke is repainting Ed Paschke,’” Peter Broido recalls. “We started looking critically at what we were buying, and basically all of those artists were painting the same things. They hadn’t really moved on. And we decided it was time for us to move on, too.”

Although the Broidos continued to buy some work by Chicago-based artists, often from Chicago galleries (they maintain relationships with the Rhona Hoffman, Kavi Gupta and Shane Campbell galleries to this day), they began to make an increasing percentage of their acquisitions in New York, forging relationships with dealers in Chelsea and, in later years, on the Lower East Side. And while their earlier purchases had featured the figure, more and more the Broidos concentrated on purely abstract works.

“Abstraction just seemed to wear better,” Peter Broido says. “If you go back and look at abstract art from the ’40s, the ’50s, it still looks pretty fresh. Hans Hofmann, my God! Those are just fabulous paintings. They still sing.” On the other hand, his wife says, “It’s just hard to find anything incredibly new with the figure.”

In the 1990s, photography and conceptual art came to the forefront of the art world, but the Broidos largely stuck with painting. Conceptual art they found “a little boring,” Eileen Broido says. And photography? “The problem with photography is in some ways the same thing that’s true with figurative art,” her husband says. “What are you going to do with it that’s different today? You need to make your mark in some way, and another sunset isn’t going to do it.”

As the Broidos developed their taste in art—they rarely disagree; “After 45 years of marriage, we’re pretty much the same person,” Peter Broido says—they also established patterns in the manner of their collecting. They often visit art fairs—they’re regulars at Art Basel Miami and NADA, and say they have enjoyed the first two years of Expo Chicago at Navy Pier—but almost never buy at the fairs. “What I find art fairs most useful for is making connections with dealers I’ve never met before and seeing work that we haven’t seen,” Peter Broido says. “I probably will never buy anything out of a fair, because we don’t like making snap decisions.”

For similar reasons, the Broidos tend to avoid making studio visits with artists with whom they have no prior relationship, because of what they experience as an implicit pressure to buy. “I like talking to artists, because I think they’re terrific people,” he says. “But I really don’t want to go to their studios, because you feel pressured. It isn’t even overt. It’s subtle, but I just don’t want to be in that position. If we went out on a tour with 100 people, I’d be thrilled to go to artists’ studios, but I don’t want to be there one-on-one.”“We do sometimes go after we’ve purchased a

piece,” his wife adds. “We were just in Berlin and went to Frank Nietzsche’s studio. His dealer said, ‘You’re here, Frank’s here, why don’t you stop by and say hi?’ We did, and it was interesting to meet him. But there was no pressure, because we had already bought a piece from him.”

The gregarious Broidos especially enjoy discovering new artists by talking with gallerists—which explains their increasing preference for smaller and emerging galleries on New York’s Lower East Side. “Nowadays if you go into the galleries in Chelsea, and if the dealers are there, they’re certainly not out where you can see them,” he says. “On the Lower East Side, the owners are there. They’re young and energetic and enthusiastic and intelligent, and they really enjoy telling you about their art, which is the way it used to be when I was younger. It’s fun to see that.”

And so for the Broidos, the fun continues. The day after their interview with Chicago Gallery News, they were off to Miami for another round of art-fair visits, combing the aisles in search of new artists to collect. Fortunately for them, they still have a few square feet of open wall space.

When Solveig Øvstebø first received a phone call from The Renaissance Society in Chicago about the possibility of her becoming the institution’s new executive director—replacing Susanne Ghez, who was retiring after 40 years in the position—the timing could hardly have been worse.

For one thing, Øvstebø had recently accepted a new term as director of Norway’s Bergen Kunsthall, which she had led for nearly a decade and which was expanding with additional gallery space and a new office for her. For another, she was three days away from giving birth to her daughter, Ella. As she recalls now with comic understatement, “It was not a time when I was looking for a new job.”

But the Ren, as the renowned art space on the University of Chicago campus is known, was persistent. Six weeks after the first call, a second one came. “We had a very short list of people we wanted for the job, and Solveig was on the top of that list,” says Canice Prendergast, the member of the Ren’s search committee who took the lead in communicating with Øvstebø. “It’s a very difficult job to fill, because we need to have one of the best curators of avant-garde art in the world who also happens to be very good at running an institution like ours. It’s rare to find someone with both qualities; the group of people who do is very, very small. The new director also has very big shoes to fill, since Susanne essentially created the Renaissance Society and turned it into a world-class institution. But given Solveig’s track record, we thought she was the ideal person to fill those shoes.”

This time around, Øvstebø found herself intrigued. She knew of the Renaissance Society’s high regard on the international art scene, having hosted some of the same artists whose work had been shown at the Ren. The two organizations’ structure and practice were similar; they were both non-collecting institutions focused on temporary exhibitions of cutting-edge art. Most important, the Ren’s search committee emphasized that she could concentrate on presenting art exhibitions largely free from the complicating factors—audience and sponsor expectations, commercial and market forces, political considerations—that plague her peers around the world.

“Sometimes those factors can become so important for an institution that there’s not enough space left for what’s really interesting to me, which is the art production and the communication with the artists,” she says in an interview at her office, where she took over

from Ghez last fall. “They convinced me that this is a place where art comes first.”

In her new job, Øvstebø says she plans to increase the Ren’s profile locally by expanding its outreach efforts, which could include a satellite gallery to supplement the institution’s smallish 3,200-square-foot exhibition space in Hyde Park. (She has no plans, however, to support a move away from the University of Chicago campus in search of larger permanent quarters. “That’s not on my to-do list,” she says, “and I have a big to-do list.”) She also wants to publish exhibition catalogs and other publications on a larger scale and within the timeframe of the exhibition in question (as opposed to the current practice of publishing some catalogs after-the-fact).

In addition to her duties overseeing the Ren’s administrative operations and strategy, Øvstebø is also its chief curator. Her first outings in Chicago begin this month with a show of new work by the German artist Nora Schultz (January 12-February 23), followed by an exhibition by the Canadian artist Christina Mackie (April 27-June 29). These will be the earliest demonstrations of Øvstebø’s vision of the curatorial role as closely tied to artistic production in the early stages of the creative process. Last year, for example, she spent four days in Schultz’s empty studio in Berlin in conversation with the artist, acting as a sounding board and filter for her ideas.

“This institution is not just a passive space where we show artworks that have been seen elsewhere,” Øvstebø explains. “Instead of picking artworks that have been shown in museums or biennials or galleries, I am asking the artists to present works that they are producing with us, that are completely new, that maybe are based on ideas that the artist hasn’t been able to try out yet. This is a place where they can experiment with new ideas, and so in dialogue with us, new works can come about.”

Although it was not a factor in her decision to accept the new job, there was an additional circumstance that made Øvstebø’s move to Chicago seem, in hindsight, somehow inevitable: She was born here. In 1972, her parents moved to the Windy City, where her father, a professor of theology, served a two-year stint as pastor of the Norwegian Memorial Church, also known as the Minnekirken, a Norwegian-speaking Lutheran congregation in Logan Square. The family went back to Norway when their new daughter was 18 months old, never to return.

“It’s a strange thing,” muses Øvstebø, 40. “My daughter is now the same age I was when we lived in Chicago the first time, and I am now the age my mother was when we were here. And because I was born here, I am a U.S. citizen, but never had an American passport. I thought it would be hard to get one, but I went to the embassy and brought my birth certificate, and they gave me my passport, just like that.” She smiles. “And here I am.”

LUMA presents two exhibitions featuring the work of Edward Gorey and highlights his connection to his hometown, Chicago

In February the Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA) will present two concurrent exhibitions of the work by writer and illustrator Edward Gorey (1925-2000), Elegant Enigmas: the Art of Edward Gorey and G is for Gorey - C is for Chicago: The Collection of Thomas Michalak. Well known for his illustrations colored by dark humor and wit, Gorey has worked for decades as an artist, creating book covers, magazine illustrations, and costume and set designs. While the exhibitions will display many of these examples, they will also draw heavily on Gorey’s connection to his hometown, Chicago.

Even those unfamiliar with Edward Gorey the artist will recognize his idiosyncratic style. Tim Burton’s dark tales, particularly Coraline, and the work of Daniel Handler - more famously known as Lemony Snicket, are direct inheritors of Gorey’s dry wit and Edwardian-inspired designs. “Snicket admits to being a ‘complete rip off’ of Edward Gorey,” said LUMA Senior Curator Jonathan Canning.

It is easy to see why Gorey’s work stays relevant and beloved. “[His] detailed drawing style draws in the eye and engages the viewer,” said Canning. His perfectly balanced compositions [also] have a cinematic quality to them. He was very influenced by film, theater, and ballet.” This love for these art forms was shared by Gorey and his college roommate, the poet Frank O’Hara. Gorey and O’Hara, who both attended Harvard on the GI Bill, were known on campus for “throwing the best parties” according to poet Donald Hall, and to essentially turning their dorm room into a literary salon.

But before attending Harvard and before serving in WWII, Gorey was a student at Chicago’s Francis Parker school and for a short while attended the School of the Art Institute. G is for Gorey - C is for Chicago: The Collection of Thomas Michalak will present several items from his days as a student in Chicago, including yearbooks from Francis Parker. The Thomas Michalak Collection was recently given to Loyola University Chicago Libraries. Thomas Michalak (BS ’63) is a retired Harvard librarian and a member of the board of directors of the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts. He has been collecting Gorey materials for over 35 years.

The companion exhibition to G is for Gorey – C is for Chicago is Elegant Enigmas: the Art of Edward Gorey, and it was organized by the Edward

Gorey Charitable Trust and the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. The exhibition has been traveling throughout the country and will continue on when it leaves Chicago in June.

One of the key points in the exhibitions is that “Gorey was a very hardworking commercial artist right up to the end of his life,” said Canning. He illustrated magazines—including numerous covers for TV Guide—and had a long-time relationship with Anchor books, which was a division of Doubleday. Gorey served as the art editor, creating the overall uniform style including the lettering, typography and design layouts. Gorey is also well known for his opening animated credits of the PBS television series Mystery!

Despite Gorey’s interest and work in popular culture, “We do not find that his work was at all influenced by it,” said Canning. Gorey maintained his own unique and idiosyncratic style. Children are common characters, and as in many original fairy tales, they do not always fair so well. It seems danger is often lurking around the corner. In one illustration, a small boy wearing a coat with a sailor collar peers over his shoulder. His expression is wary. Two bears more than twice his size are following close behind. There is a tenderness to it and

yet it is, as Gorey described much of his own work, “mildly unsettling.” Perhaps this is another reason we continue to return to his mysterious images. There is always more to the story than what appears on the surface.

On February 22 LUMA is hosting the Edward Gorey Birthday Bash to benefit Loyola University Chicago Libraries and LUMA. This is one of many programs and events LUMA is planning in conjunction with the Loyola University Libraries (some of the events will take place on the Rogers Park campus). Events include lectures, performances and readings of Gorey’s most beloved stories including (among many) the macabre Gashlycrumb Tinnies – a abecedarian book that tells the story of the untimely death of 26 children all of whom represent a different letter of the alphabet – and the cautionary tale of the Wuggly Ump (What is a Wuggly Ump? You’ll have to see for yourself). In addition to these events, with what one can only imagine is a hint of irony, LUMA is also co-sponsoring a blood drive with the Law School.

Edward Gorey’s engaging storytelling and remarkably grand characters, many of whom we see draped in fur and wearing top hats – a nod to the Edwardian details he loved, would be enough to draw visitors to the exhibition, but the personal effects from the Michalak collection – including letters from the artist to friends – offers us a much fuller look at the life of the artist, his inspiration, his lifelong dedication to the arts and the creation of his particular world full of dark-humor, wit, and playfulness.

The exhibitions are on view February 15-June 15, 2014 and are co-presented by Loyola University Chicago Libraries and LUMA with cooperation from the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. Details can be found at luc.edu/gorey

Juan Angel Chávez is a passionate and active member of Chicago’s art community. The artist was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and currently lives and works in Chicago where he teaches at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). He has exhibited his work internationally and has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards from notable organizations including the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation and 3Arts, just to name a few.

Tell me about where you’re from and your transition to Chicago.I’m originally from Chihuahua, Mexico, and I moved to Chicago when I was 13 years old. At first I suffered from severe culture shock. I was in 7th grade, and I didn’t speak English. I came from a place where the emphasis was on farming and ranching, and my school’s agricultural curriculum focused on breeding cattle and growing apples. At first, Chicago was suffocating, and I wanted to run back to splicing fruit trees and vaccinating cattle.

After a year of living in Uptown/Andersonville, I adapted and gained confidence as I explored the city. When some of my neighbors started to get involved with the Latin Kings, at my mom’s first opportunity she enrolled me in art classes. She encouraged me to apply my talents through a constructive form, and I owe a lot to her and the teachers she roped into her art class conspiracy.

The real assimilation into Chicago culture happened when I discovered skateboarding, because it gave me space and freedom. It made me think of the urban space as a landscape and not confinement. I’ve grown with the city and now feel like I’m a part of Chicago. I go back to Chihuahua quite often, and I love going there,

but after a few months, I’m ready to feel the energy of the city again.

Please discuss your visual arts studies and how you’ve honed your practice and technique over the years.My art studies are a bit complex. I think my mother had a lot to do with that because, aside from enrolling me in art classes, she had my high school teachers register me for SAIC’s early college programs as well. I attended SAIC for my undergrad on a scholarship, but my career was short lived when I was asked to leave the school. I had an issue with writing in English, and my scholarship was revoked.

I decided to get involved in as many positive and creative endeavors as possible. I started working with the National Museum of Mexican Art, and I got involved with community public art. I took skateboarding more seriously and began to hang out with DJs, graphic designers, graffiti writers, and rave promoters. I’m partly SAIC schooled and partly street schooled.

How and when did you first start exhibiting?In 2001 I was very involved in public art. I was painting murals and mosaics in schools, and I didn’t really see the value of exhibiting my work. I started putting up relief sculptures on boarded up buildings all over the city to try and change the idea of advertising space with something more whimsical. I didn’t have a goal with that series - it was just fun! Shortly after, I was nominated for the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation’s Individual Artist Award, and I won it. That really changed my perspective and marked the direction of my work.

Your mixed media art has many components. I particularly enjoy the carpentry elements in your large wooden pieces. Talk about the significance of the materials you use – what

are you drawn to working with, and why?I view the use of materials and objects as contemporary artifacts ingrained in the quest for survival, exploration and establishment. Carpentry to me is not just construction; it represents components of methods or processes that signify shelter and navigation in the establishment for survival. It is really interesting for me to see materials that reveal an essence of history in their texture and shape.

Tell me about your studio practice.My two kids take a lot of my time, so I work out of my home studio at night. At first it was hard to adapt to working at home, but I’ve made some interesting changes and this new process has made me think in more detail about my projects. I make everything small scale now and that helps with materials, budget, labor, space – plus I don’t get stuck with storage issues.

Chicago’s public art is one of my favorite things about this city. You have work on view at various CTA stations as a part of the city’s public art initiative. How do you feel about having work displayed at these locations? I’m a big fan of the public art in Chicago as well, and I’m honored to be a part of the city’s collection. The work I’ve done for the CTA has immortalized my art in the city - I love that! I would love the opportunity to make another public art piece, and I still think about making more public art, but I don’t know how my new ideas would apply. New work would be very different than VIDA SIMPLE at the pink line, for example.

You are one of many commissioned artists involved in the Hyde Park Art Center’s Not Just Another Pretty Face program. (This year’s show runs thru March 30, 2014.)Would you share comments on the program? I’ve done NJAPF three times; it’s been lots of fun and great works have come out of it. Cultivating relationships between artists and patrons is an excellent idea. HPAC is not afraid to try new things and neither are their NJAPF patrons. It’s very liberating to try and reinvent the wheel when considering portraits.

Are you in the middle of any big projects? I’m gearing up for larger projects this spring and summer, but this winter I’m trying to focus on the creation of smaller works with a new direction. I’ve always done very large projects that have an immediate result, but I want to try and focus on pieces that take longer to make.

How do you see Chicago’s art community?Chicago is a very vibrant city, and I love being a part of its art community. Emerging artists are making really inspiring and amazing work, and the creative energy in this city is more intense because of that; it keeps me on my toes.

When you walk into Ann Nathan’s gallery you feel like you’re floating. The gallery sits about a half story above street level, and when you stand at one of the enormous picture windows looking out at those passing by, you are in another world. I imagine that is just as Nathan intended it.

For more than 30 years in Chicago, Ann Nathan has run a gallery. She began in 1980 in a 200-square foot space she rented from the ceramicist Ruth Duckworth. “The space was tiny. We showed jewelry and ceramics, and we used every inch of space. The pedestals opened up and doubled as storage space,” Nathan recalls. For several years the gallery existed there before a couple of moves, then survived a fire and relocated and rebuilt in her current space on Superior Street. “Although many galleries have since opened further south and west, I think this area will always survive because of its location.” The galleries are close to the L and blocks from Michigan Avenue.”

When talking about how she has thrived for so many years, Nathan admits she has always had a simple approach. “I am open to showing what works.” This is, though, limited to figurative art and realism. “When we started

everyone was showing abstract work, but I was never interested in doing what everyone was doing.” This perspective has freed Nathan to show a diverse range of artists and styles. The work, by artists from around the world, ranges from the dreamy paintings by Christina Haglid to the bold and dynamic sculptures by the long-time Chicago artist Michael Gross. “Michael’s work is unique and strange,” Nathan said. “It’s sculptural, functional furniture.” This is another trend you’ll find at Nathan’s gallery. The furniture pieces are always functional. In fact, when we met, Nathan and I sat and talked on two beautifully carved wooden stools.

In regards to how the gallery and art landscape has changed in Chicago, Nathan seems unfazed. “Chicago is a welcoming place, but every space is different.” Nathan believes you have to pick work you like and show what you like to show.

Nathan and her gallery staff are certainly welcoming to visitors, a trait that has undoubtedly helped in the gallery’s success throughout the decades. While you explore the work in the gallery and move from a gigantic charcoal portrait by Mary Borgman to playful, smiling nude sculptures by Esther Shimazu, you feel transported, at least for a little while, to a place far away from Superior Street.

Last August, the staff of the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University were confronted with a near disas-ter. A pipe connected to the museum’s sprinkler system burst. Luckily, the collections were not damaged; but the museum needed to close its gallery spaces—for all of fall quarter—while repairs were made.

Instead of viewing the closure as a set-back, the Block saw an opportunity to upgrade its facilities and focus its energies on developing a robust series of programs and exhibitions for winter quarter. “It really gave us a chance to do what we needed on a system wide level to bring us to a state-of-the-art space,” said Susy Bielak, the Block’s Associate Director of Engagement. “It also gave us time to launch with a program in January that we’re really quite exhilarated about.”

The museum’s under-utilized entry-foyer has been transformed into the Spot Lounge, a more inviting—and activated—space. Comfortable seating, study areas, and WiFi now attract students, professors, and university staff to this new social hub.

The Block’s renovated gallery spaces will be celebrated officially on Saturday, January 18, with the unveiling of two new temporary exhibitions and a slate of public programs.

Steichen/Warhol: Picturing Fame features photographs by Edward Steichen (1879-1973) alongside Polaroids by Andy Warhol. It is the first exhibition to compare the works of the two artists side-by-side and to fully explore the in-

fluence of Steichen’s photography on Warhol’s portraits. “The exhibition posits an unlikely comparison between Steichen’s early glamour photogra-phy and Warhol’s late career portraits,” says the Block’s Special Projects Curator, Elliot Reichert, who organized the exhibition.

Beginning in the late 1920s, Steichen became famous for photographing Hollywood’s elite and defining the conventions of glamour pho-tography during Hollywood’s golden era. Steichen/Warhol presents vintage Steichen prints from the Block’s permanent collection (recently donated by Richard and Jackie Hollander), including portraits of film stars such as Greta Garbo and Clara Bow.

These images had a profound effect on War-hol, influencing his silk-screen style portrait paintings of the 1970s and 80s. Warhol began his process by snapping Polaroids of celebrities and wealthy collectors, consciously employing some of the same photographic conventions established by Steichen 50 years earlier.

“Warhol never really intended these [Polaroids] as art objects to be exhibited,” says Reichert, “They are pieces of his process that have been reintroduced as objects worthy of study.”

The exhibition presents a range of Warhol Polaroids recently acquired from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, bring-ing a fascinating new perspective on the artist’s creative process. Combined with 49 Steichen images, the total number of works in the exhibi-tion is 140.

Opening in tandem with Steichen/Warhol is The Left Front: Radical Art in the “Red Decade,” 1929–1940, curated by Northwestern University PhD candidates John Murphy and Jill Buga-jski. The show examines Depression-era artists who questioned the capitalist system in the face of economic catastrophe and practiced art as a form of social and political activism.

“Artists were becoming activists, taking it to the streets, beyond the galleries and museums,” says Murphy, “and asking ‘What kind of art earns the name revolutionary?’ They saw them-selves as soldiers in a class struggle using art as a weapon.”

Examples in the show include over 100 prints, paintings, posters, rare books and ephemera assembled from the Block’s permanent collections, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Terra Foundation, the Smart Museum, and the Hull-House Museum.

In the 1930s, printmaking was seen as a way of distributing art to the masses. Lithographs, etchings, and woodcuts—by the likes of Carl Hoeckner, Rockwell Kent and Stuart Davis—figure prominently in the exhibition.

“These artists were making political gestures,” says Bugajski, “but also trying to shift the social fabric by moving art away from institutions and the upper crust and bringing it to the people as a force for change.”

The Block will open The Left Front with a series of events and programs meant to engage Chicago in the question of “What is revolu-tionary art?” On Saturday, January 18, the museum will host what Bielak calls a “multi-fold opening” including performances by NU students and a presentation on “Fashion and Revolution” by Tom Mitchell, professor of English and Art History at the University of Chicago. For a full roster of upcoming pro-grams addressing “revolutionary art,” visit the Block’s website at block.northwestern.edu.

Passings:

Artist Ellen Lanyon died suddenly on October 7, 2013 at age 86 while traveling back to the US from a painting trip to England. According to Elizabeth Whiting, Curator at the Union League Club, “Ellen Lanyon is an icon and Chicago treasure who left an indelible mark on both the Chicago and New York art communities. Her paintings, prints, and collages depicting flora and fauna, birds, gears, gadgets, antique toys and tools have a distinctly Chicago flavor as they nod toward surrealism and remind us of the excitement and power of ordinary objects to endlessly fascinate us with their mystery and secret lives. For over 70 years, through her art, her teaching and mentoring, her commitment to women’s issues and artist’s causes, Ellen Lanyon was a petite but potent force whose role in Chicago’s art history is profound.” Lanyon is the recipient of the Union League’s Distinguished Artist Award in 2014 (more info below.) Lanyon was born in Chicago in 1926. She received her BFA in 1948 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA in 1950 from the University of Iowa. Her work is represented in Chicago by Valerie Carberry Gallery.

Dean Langworthy, a well-known sculptor and preparator died on September 29, 2013 from leukemia. He was 64. Langworthy was a senior rigging specialist for Methods & Materials from 1990 until his death, and he most recently exhibited his sculpture as part of the Chicago Sculpture International’s show on the lakefront in 2012-13. Some of Mr. Langworthy’s artwork will be shown at Zolla/Lieberman Gallery in February.

Awards and Exhibitions Elsewhere:

On January 31 the Union League Club of Chicago will honor Ellen Lanyon and Theaster Gates as Distinguished Artists at its Beaux-Arts celebration. Lanyon, who died in 2013, and Gates were selected in mid-2012 by vote of their peers as representatives of Chicago artists to both the visual arts and the larger community.

Artist MartinJon Garcia has been producing a comic web series about the non-profit arts called Our Cultural Center.

Fine American and European paintings from the 19th and 20th Centuries, particularly Regional Impressionists (1890-1930) and Contemporary American artists.

This year begins Kamp Gallery’s 38th anniversary as one of the Midwest’s most esteemed purveyors of historical and contemporary Fine Art Painting.

We have an established expertise in selling art of quality and rarity by artists who pursued their

careers either in part or whole in the Midwest and whose work withstands comparison to many of the most well-known American and European artists.

This year, we will continue to have an “open gallery” policy, but in order to better serve your specific art collecting interests, we highly advise an appointment for painting conservation, historical framing and fine art appraisal services.

If you don’t know about Kamp Gallery, you should visit us. And if you think you do know, visit again as we are always changing!
