This issue’s cover image:Fountainhead Lofts Building, 4Art Gallery1932 S. HalstedPilsen East, Chicago

Not unlike the industrial boom that created the neighborhood over 100 yearsago, Pilsen East has seen a wave of newsettlers entering its more than century-oldbuildings and occupying storefronts alongSouth Halsted: creative entrepreneurs.

Perhaps it’s a sense of kindred spirit with ghosts from one of the nation’s firstunionization battles that attracts this newbreed 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 buildingshere allows galleries to act as more thanjust a showplace: it’s home, studio, intimatemeeting space, inspiration—all gathered ina concentrated environment where galleriesand 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 artisticsuccess with hundreds of artists havinglaunched national careers.

Today more than 35 galleries and over 100 artists participate in monthly openingscalled 2nd Fridays, giving people a taste of an environment that spawns big ideas.

Chicago Arts District 2nd Fridays35 Galleries. One night. One Neighborhood. January 9th, February 13th and March 13th from 6-10pm.

Winter 2009

Chicago winters are long, but this issue of

Chicago Gallery News is traditionally our

shortest of the year, covering just three

months. Brevity hardly equals boredom!

In a city well-known for its breathtaking

winters, the art community does its part to

put on some spectacular shows indoors

where it’s warm.

To start, make a new year’s resolution

to catch the many exhibitions that began

at the busy end of 2008; don’t miss Michael

Wolf: The Transparent City at the Museum

of Contemporary Photography or the

MCA’s Jenny Holzer: PROTECT PROTECT.

New shows around the city are fresh

opportunities to look inward and stay close

to home. In January Chicago artists

William Conger, Theaster Gates and

Jim Lutes have retrospectives opening at

the Chicago Cultural Center, the MCA and

the Renaissance Society. Significant shows

and events come to the suburbs as well as

downtown: Evanston’s Block Museum

exhibits Robert Mapplethorpe in January,

while the Winnetka Antiques Show marks

its 40th anniversary in March.

And, as if we could forget our galleries, the

CADA now organizes First Thursdays each

month, providing an evening to visit districts

during the week after work until 7pm.

We’re coming out of a wild fall filled with

change, and we will meet more surprises

for sure this winter as we embrace what’s

to come in 2009, and beyond!

Chicagoans Exhibit in CityMuseums and Centers This WinterTheaster GatesMuseum of Contemporary Art (MCA)220 East Chicago Ave.January 3 - February 1

Theaster Gates is a self-proclaimed trickster and preacher, and accordingto him, practicing art has become increas-ingly difficult to separate from the rest oflife. Gates himself is a dynamic presenceat art events and exhibitions around thecity, and this winter he constructs a temple-like structure at the MCA thatmerges aspects of African American andJapanese traditions.

The construction will be worth visiting more than once: it also serves as a contempla-tive 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 perfor-mative space for the Black Monks, a group of Baptist-Buddhist musicians who mixslave spirituals, monastic chants, and jazz to create a singular sonorous experience.

Jim LutesThe Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, Cobb Hall5811 South Ellis Ave.January 4 - February 15

Chicago-based painter Jim Lutes is often consideredheir to the Imagist tradition. Only part of the story,Lutes came to artistic maturity in the late 1970’s andexemplifies a larger and more complex art historicalnarrative that entails the emergence of figuration andregionalism under the declining influence of abstractexpressionism. Over several bodies of work, Lutesvacillated between a populist mode of figuration anda 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 lyricalprocess-based abstraction. Lutes is represented by Valerie Carberry Gallery, located in the John Hancock Building at 875 N. Michigan Ave.

William Conger: Paintings 1958-2008Chicago Cultural Center78 East Washington St.January 24 - March 29

William Conger’s work has been a part ofChicago’s artistic fabric for decades, and now a50-year retrospective of his work will be showndowntown at the Chicago Cultural Center. In 2002 Conger designed Intersections ~ Chicagofor the 18th District Police Station at 1160 N.Larrabee on the city’s north side. The work unifies the public areas around the station andreflects the rich history, cultural complexity andurban atmosphere of the neighborhoods servedby the facility. Just one example of howConger’s career has long been tied to Chicago’s Public Art Program, it is fitting nowthat the city is showing his vivid, formally composed, abstract work to Chicagoans andvisitors during our darkest months. The exhibition offers many opportunities to contem-plate 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.

Letter From The Publisher

2009 comes on the heels of manychanges – downs and ups of everykind, around the world as well as athome, where Chicago is getting a lot more attentionfollowing 2008’s presidential election and our 2016Olympics bid. We’re now showing others what makesour home quite a bit different from other cities: all atthe same time we’re local, worldly, hardworking,sophisticated and accessible. We have much ofwhich to be genuinely proud, but we’re not showy.The same characteristics are true of our unique artcommunity. We’ve been on the same rocky road aseveryone else, but we’re still solid and optimisticbecause that’s Chicago. So, this winter take thechance to get a many-sided look at what sets our gal-leries, artists, institutions, and even ourselves, apart.

Our winter weather can actually help us go out andvisit galleries because we’re forced to slow down andchoose our outings wisely. We’re inclined to lingerlonger indoors in spaces and museums, to see art alittle more deliberately. Winter’s lighter schedule isrefreshing; having fewer obligations allows for morespontaneous plans.

This issue of CGN hopefully offers lots of inspirationto take up new routines, go new places and indulge in Chicago. If you think you can just hide out until thespring art fair season, I urge you to get out there now- go to galleries for First Thursdays. Go downtown fora weekend Architecture tour, since you’ve probablybeen on the summer boat tour with every houseguestyou’ve ever hosted. Look more closely at the city’spublic art around town. And visit the Art Institutewhile it’s FREE for the month of February.

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 40other things I wanted to do next week! So, I encour-age everyone to pick 3 new things to do just by theend of March. Go to Pilsen for 2nd Fridays. Tour theCultural Center or the new Driehaus Museum. Visitan art center. Meet an artist. Visit 4 photography gal-leries 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 oppor-tunities and so much creativity. Art world veteranssaid to me that I’m still new to our art community, and we will all certainly have to weather tumultuouseconomic periods again in the future. The past yearwas a new beginning for CGN, but we’re here for thelong haul to always support our art community andChicago.

Consider what art is worth to Chicago and what it is worth to you, and then go find what you like here athome. Make a resolution to include art in more areasof your life this year. We will be even prouder of ourcity this year; with so many now interested, thinkabout all the ways to confidently answer, “What’s sogreat about Chicago?”

Ask Natalie

Each issue, Chicago Gallery Newsfounder Natalie van Straatenanswers a popular question wereceive from our interested readers.

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 goodinvestment, 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 afinancial investment. Instead, think about its quality,your passion for it, and your desire to experience itevery 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 dealerwho 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 isunlikely that the dealer will simply buy a work backwhen you decide to sell it years later. Similarly withan 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 ajeweler – 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 otherway). Learn why the art is priced the way it is, andask for biographical background about the artist. Inthe case of the secondary market (artwork that hasbeen owned previously), the provenance – or history– of the piece should also be made available.

In short, become an educated collector. Buy whatyou 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.

Richard H. Driehaus Museum Exhibits Fine and Decorative ArtsFor many years, the sooty, dark mansion onErie, between Rush and Wabash, sat awk-wardly among the big steel high rises thatpopped up overnight. The property quietlywaited alongside the Michigan Avenue frenzy.

The building is Samuel M. Nickerson’s “MarblePalace,” built between 1879 and 1883, and itwas one of the grandest residential buildingserected in 19th Century Chicago. Today theRichard H. Driehaus Museum occupies theGilded Age mansion, exhibiting period objectsfrom the Driehaus Collection of Fine andDecorative 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 fiveyears of extensive and exhaustive restorations to return the building to its formerglory, 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 late19th and early 20th century fine and decorative art. The museum also boasts oneof the largest private collections of work by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Described asa “splendid survivor amongst the hulking high-rises of River North,” the Museum is a must-see attraction for those interested in American architecture, decorativearts, historic preservation, and the history of Chicago.

That the building has been so painstakingly restored, and its art shown to thepublic when clean lines and open floor plans have become much more in vogue,is a testament to the importance of historic preservation. Tastes are naturallyever changing, and new homes are still being built all around the River Northneighborhood where the mansion is today. Taking time to tour the museum andpeer 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 notsaved or even fought for, but Chicago has long been an important, dynamic archi-tectural 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

District Tours & Walks

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 RiverNorth in Chicago in 1997. It was called“Art-Tech” and the gallery's focus was on kinetic art. One of six exhibitions wasreviewed 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 mylife; it's simply something I grew up with.There are artists, architects and literati (my mom) in my family. I've never becomean artist I wanted to be once. The galleryis 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 ofartists or philosophy or approach?KK: The gallery has grown with its certain artists, and vice-versa, they have grownwith the gallery. My philosophy has not changed, but I've been narrowing down theselection of work that I want to exhibit. On the other hand, I'd like to have more timeand 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 regularpassers–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, galleryexhibitions 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 andglobal 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 respectfor the gallery's program, or simply don't really know what their work is about. I hopeone 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 havebeen tempted by certain European art centers.The gallery's participation at various internationalart fairs is, of course to a certain extent only, a vehicle that allows me to be at those places. I shall continue this way for a while.

A Cozy Reading Spot Downtown at The Chicago Publishers Gallery

See Architecture World’s Winter Highlights - On Foot or By BusIf you’re looking to discover Chicago Architecture this winter, but you think taking the warm weatherboat tour is the only way to do it, the Chicago Architecture Foundation does the driving and offers Highlights by Bus. Discover Chicago’s diverse architecture, in and out of the city, on this three anda half hour, 30 mile on-and-off trip, which traces the city’s development from beginning to present,visiting the Loop, Hyde Park, the Gold Coast, the lakefront, several historic districts, university cam-puses, parks, and old and new neighborhoods. Stops include the Rookery downtown, Mies van derRohe’s IIT campus, and an interior tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House in Oak Park.

Don’t want to sit on the bus? Embrace cold temperatures and walk the city for the ModernSkyscraper tour to examine many of the buildings that constitute Chicago’s architecture canon, from the minimalist Mies van der Rohe Federal Center to the formidable Daley Center. CAF also follows Modernism in the hands of a second wave of notable architects such as Helmut Jahn andPostmodern structures such as Philip Johnson's 190 S. LaSalle. Also look at contemporary examplessuch as the tower at One South Dearborn, Trump Tower, and the Art Institute's Modern Wing.

The annual Southern Graphics CouncilConference draws attention to an art mediumthat 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 interde-pendent, local print practices are at once threatened, celebrated, worthy of preservation and dangerously divi-sive. Printmakers’ resources are limited, and what is done in one location will probably affect someone, some-where 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 installa-tions, printed artists’ books, graffiti prints and paste-ups on city streets, even work that exists only in cyberspace.

Taking place in Chicago this year, events for 1,200 people take place in over 40 citywide venues, including hostColumbia College’s affiliated spaces, the Art Institute of Chicago and the School of the Art Institute, the ChicagoCultural Center, neighborhood & community-based art centers, and area art galleries.

Classical Portraitist MarlaFriedman’s work in oil and pastel features portraiture, figurative, large-scale historicnarrative and still-life paintingsin the Realist Tradition.

Influenced by late nineteenthcentury French academic painting and drawing,Friedman’s critically acclaimedpainting illuminates the artist’sreverence for a nuanced and delicate, yet powerful,interpretation of her subject.

Chicago Tribune art critic AlanArtner states, ‘Friedman ShowEvinces Portraiture Elegance....[Her paintings] present theartist’s strong technique withadmirable, even beguiling clarity.’
