Letter fromthe PublisherIt’s been two years since I tookover CGN from founding publisherNatalie van Straaten, and since then I’ve learnedmore than I could have imagined – about the maga-zine itself, how to navigate details of running a smallbusiness, how to Tweet, and most of all, aboutChicago’s art dealers, artists and supporters.
My own art scene education is constant, and it’s alsorelatively easy to keep up with, since it’s part of acareer I love. But for those who don’t follow the artworld as part of their job, there’s so much to learnfrom so many sources that it can be overwhelming,as well as intimidating. I always hope that CGN canopen minds and be a guide to discovering, enjoying,and maybe even collecting art.
I talk about CGN often to people I meet, and part ofthe conversation frequently steers towards how tostart collecting art and why. I try to first share myown stories about becoming interested in buying art,since buying a single piece is where everyone starts;before collectors are collectors, they’re buyers.Anyone can be a buyer, but what makes buying (andcollecting) art more rewarding than other types ofpurchases is the human element – meeting artists,attending discussions, and visiting studios (these arenot off-limits places – many artists are happy toshow you work in progress and to just talk - see ourstudio listings on page 37.) Learning about contem-porary work is a living subject; it is constantly chang-ing and offering surprises as well as challenges.
We continue to add to our profile series, mostrecently interviewing the Chicago-based artist,Dzine. Reading about where an artist’s work comesfrom, what piece first made a collector want to col-lect, or what event spurred a dealer to open agallery can help make some sense of the art world.
Art dealers are your educators, and they’re happyto answer even the most basic questions. They’readvocates for their artists, and they’re teachers tothe rest of us. Ideally, dealers can dispel art worldmysteries - not add to them, since they are on the frontlines of information, particularly about emerging artists.
Consider art education an ongoing course thatmeets for your whole life - in countless classrooms,with an endless number of teachers. You don’t haveto be on your own when learning about art, and youdon’t have to take a series of formal courses. Butyou do have to talk to people, keep your eyes open,and your curiosity on its toes.
CGN has been brainstorming ways of getting newgroups of would-be collectors together, and we’llcontinue to keep you posted. Enjoying art and hav-ing it in your life can be such a rewarding experienceenhanced by wonderful relationships with dealersand artists. You won’t want to miss out, so keeplearning. I always will be.
- Ginny Berg
News - What’s HappeningAt the start of a new decade we can see the ups and downs of the past tenyears in our rearview mirror, and then look hopefully forward toward all that’sto come. Read on for highlights from Chicago’s latest winter features, and ourusual lineup of art world profiles, including a new interview with an artist.
CGN starts 2010 with a focus on the creative ground zero: the artist’s studio.Studios can be inspirational, mysterious workplaces, and they are at the begin-ning of the art chain of galleries, collectors, museums, and history. Art can’tget more personal than when it’s in progress in the studio, so if you have thechance to drop in and get to know an artist, take advantage of the opportunity.Stay warm these next few months, and have fun exploring the art scene!
Winter is long on cold, and a little short on highprofile art events in Chicago, but this season,some noteworthy exhibitions are taking placeat the Chicago Cultural Center. Since you’relikely staying close to home in the next fewmonths, make sure to visit the following shows,as well as special events, that honor theseartists (and more).
Opening receptions for both exhibitions areon Friday, January 29 from 6-8pm.
Angel Otero: New Paintings and Sculpture
Angel Otero’s name has been showing up allover the Chicago art scene for a little whilenow. Otero received great attention at NewInsight at Art Chicago in 2008, his work wasincluded in the MCA’s Constellations in 2009,and he was the featured artist at SAIC’s annualBareWalls in October 2009. Otero recentlyreceived his BFA and MFA from the School ofthe Art Institute, and he was one of only fourawardees nationwide to receive the prestigiousLeonore Annenberg Fellowship in the visualarts in 2009 - an award that will support Otero’swork for two years in New York.
Otero is a very young artist, (ie: under 30)who creates deeply personal paintings andsculptures - drawing on experiences fromgrowing up in Puerto Rico as well as trainingin Chicago. He masterfully uses multiple mate-rials and textures to create work that is as visu-ally stimulating as it is emotionally. This exhi-bition at the Cultural Center will be Otero'slargest solo show to date, bringing together12-15 new works, so for at least a few winterweeks, his work belongs to Chicagoans.
January 23 – March 28, 2010Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. WashingtonJan. 28, 12:30pm: Gallery Talk with the artistOtero is represented in Chicago by Kavi GuptaGallery in the West Loop.
Hollis Sigler: Expect the Unexpected
Hollis Sigler’s images are bright with searingcolors - a visually appealing lure to viewers.With a little observation, Sigler’s familiarbackdrops of dark and mysterious night skiesand tumultuous elements throw her delicatelydrawn characters into an emotional spotlight,telling stories from Sigler’s own life - youthfulyears, as well as wrenching older days, duringwhich she created her well-known series,Breast Cancer Journal: Walking with theGhost of My Grandmothers.
Sigler’s vivid style reflects on passion, fear,romance, escape, desire, suburban entrap-ment, and dreams of fame; psychologicallycomplex narratives each reveal the aftermathof a scenario but leave the viewer to solve themystery of what has occurred.
The exhibition, organized by the RockfordArt Museum in collaboration with the ChicagoDepartment of Cultural Affairs, is curated byPatty Rhea, and shows more than 60 worksdating from 1981 to 2001.
Beyond the Cultural Center, Printworks Galleryin River North will have a show of Sigler’sprints in February, while nearby Carl HammerGallery will feature some of Sigler’s paintingsas well as prints. And beyond the exhibition,an excellent series of events and discussionswill be taking place.

In Sebastian Campos’s home on the 42nd floor of a downtown Chicago high-rise, thewalls are covered in art, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the city. Artist MichaelScoggins’s Army Men, 2007, an oversized piece of paper with childlike scribblings ofAmerican soldiers chasing after innocent people, hangs on a wall between the kitchenand Sebastian’s office. Soccer Ball (Human Furriery Series), 1999, a deflated latexrubber soccer ball with nipple molds of Argentinean artist Nicola Costantino, sits on ashelf next to the collector’s flat-screen television. Black-tinted windows of the JohnHancock Building interrupt a complete view of Lake Michigan. As he sips an after-workbeer, Campos, who holds a BFA in Fine Art and an MAA in Arts Administration from theSchool of the Art Institute of Chicago, takes me on a tour of his collection, revealingpersonal, cultural and art historical anecdotes about each piece. A polite, reservedman, Campos smiles shyly as he talks about acquiring an abstract time-lapse photo-graph by Chicago artist John Opera. When we arrive in his office, he tells me about apainting by emerging Houston-based artist Kent Dorn. Here, an ambiguously genderedperson clad in a NO AGE t-shirt and short skirt flips the bird while decaying on a citysidewalk amongst thick globs of paint. The tour moves along swiftly with Camposstopping only momentarily to brush the black hair out of his face.
How did you begin collecting art?My father, Luis T. Campos, has been collecting for thirty-some odd years, and he hada strong influence on my interest in art collecting. I grew up with his collection, which
focuses on Latin American artists,op artists, kinetic artists andartists who work with color theory,like Josef Albers. Since I was achild, both my brother and I werecollectors of things—matchbooks,baseball cards—so I always hadideas about collecting. As anundergraduate at the School ofthe Art Institute, I began collectingworks from friends, trading art andsometimes buying it. You know,trading anything from a home-cooked meal for a drawing or aphotograph, and just trading art
with one another. But I didn’t go to SAIC to become a visual artist. I wanted to showand promote artists instead of actually create art. Collecting was one part of that. Ibegan collecting maybe 10 years ago, and haven’t stopped since.
What else promoted your decision to stop making art?I was more interested in listening to the artists who were discussing their works, doingcritiques, and giving critiques. So I knew even before I went in to art school that I wasgoing in to learn about how artists created works.
How has your relationship with your father changed through art collecting?When I went to the School of the Art Institute for my undergraduate degree, my fatherstarted involving me more in his collection. That’s when our relationship began tochange. He’d ask if I had seen any new things that he might like. It was no longer justfather/son—it became more of a team looking at artwork in museums, and appreciatingart in a different way. He became more interested in my interpretation of works and myopinion on art.
What’s the focus of your collection?It’s all over the place. I first began collecting pop art prints. I was always a big fan ofthat movement, and really enjoyed Warhol. I had many opportunities to buy pop art
prints, so I got pieces for a fraction of what they’reworth. And from there, I went into buying works onpaper. Then I began focusing on more establishedartists, emerging young artists, and then photogra-phy. Now I’m most interested in painting and video.I focus my collection on Chicago artists first, andthen artists from other cities like Houston and LosAngeles.

Tell me aboutyour work asa curator & anart advisor.I began doingcuratorial workwhen I was partof the StudentUnion Galleries(SUG) at SAIC.In May 2009, rightafter Art Chicago,I curated a showat AndrewRafacz’sgallery calledAccumulation,which featuredworks by Adam Gondek (Chicago), Kenneth JamesBeasley (Houston) and Renee Lotenero (Los Angeles).I’ve curated other shows in Chicago, as well as Houstonand Lima, Peru, where my family is originally from.
As an art advisor, I work with a variety of clients,including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, gallerieshere in Chicago and Houston, and private collectors.I like helping people get an idea of what they’d like tocollect, the importance of collecting, and showing themworks that they didn’t already know about. I also spend alot of time managing my family’s collection in Houston.

What most influenced your choiceto become an Art Dealer?I started as a ceramic artist and came toChicago to attend the graduate program atthe School of the Art Institute. I decided tomake the transition to art dealer to pursuethat specific creative moment when one,as an artist, is rendered speechless by thepresence of something extraordinary—thematerialization of a thought before you.
That intoxicating moment—the end that jus-tified all means—unfortunately happenednot as often in my studio as I wanted. I dis-covered, however, that I experienced thatsame thrill in the presence of art by artistslike Xavier Toubes, Stephen DeStaebler, orRuth Duckworth, to name a few. I realizedI could be in the presence of what I findinspiring, yet still be an active participant inthe development of an artist other thanmyself. Clay was at the root of this passionand I wanted to present it front-and-centerand support its voice and legacy in our cul-tural landscape. I wanted to defuse somepolarized concepts, such as beauty andrelevance, or craftsmanship and content.
The gallery recently moved from PilsenEast to the West Loop. What motivatedyour move?Opening my gallery in Pilsen East (TheChicago Arts District) in 2004 was funda-mental to its conception and development.Being a young dealer, the Chicago ArtsDistrict offered me what no other neighbor-hood could—the opportunity to pursue mygoals where I could simultaneously live andbreathe art, while considerably lowering myoverhead and noticeably raising my qualityof life. My Halsted St. store-front space hadpeaceful gardens in the back to share witha community of artists also pursuing artisticinterests, and the Chicago Arts District’s 2nd
Fridays, and other joint-publicity events,tremendously supplemented my own effortstoward getting my gallery known and bring-ing people in.
In the summer of 2008 I closed my Pilsenspace. The beginning of the economicdownturn was the perfect time to pauseand reflect upon the experience that I’dgained, and to learn more about otherareas of interest - the non-profit sector,fundraising and management. After a yeargaining hands-on experience in thoseareas, I was ready and eager to push thegallery forward. This time I felt I needed tobe alongside a concentration of Chicago’sestablished galleries.
So, with a renewed passion, I reopenedlast fall in the West Loop. I’m still focusingon contemporary ceramics, but I’vewidened the scope to incorporate paintingand works on paper addressing materialityand process.
When you dream “big,” wheredo you see Dubhe Carreño?It’s all about where I see the artists Irepresent, and witnessing the results ofmy ongoing partnerships with them, aswell as with museum curators and critics.The ultimate reward is recognizing a young,talented artist and introducing him/her tothe public - right after graduate school, orwithout any formal training. I hope to helpthem gain a position in the history of art byplacing their work in international museumcollections and in the private collections ofindividuals who value and treasure art’spresence in their lives.
What’s up next at the gallery in 2010?I am very excited about my Januaryexhibition. Ceramic sculptor Anne DrewPotter is exhibiting an intriguing andintelligent figurative installation entitledLe Cirque de L’Armée Rouge (Circus ofthe Red Army) January 8 - March 5, 2010.
Loaded with references from contemporaryliterature, hierarchy’s social roles, andrecent world history, Le Cirque de L’ArméeRouge alludes to the dynamics of “followersand leaders” through allegorical characters.Potter was educated both at the New YorkAcademy and London’s Royal Academy,and she is a former resident of the verycompetitive Archie Bray Foundation. Potteris a great example of who I would like topromote in the gallery—emerging artistswho, through visually and conceptuallyengaging work, utilize the medium of clayto express their voices and become part ofthe contemporary art dialogue.
And a final note: my deepest condolencesto those touched and inspired by the legacyof artist Ruth Duckworth, who lived 90years and gave Chicago and the world thegift of her extraordinary talent. She hasbeen an inspiration to me since the verybeginning—when I discovered my interestin art—and I feel honored to have had theopportunity to meet her and spend timewith her a few weeks before her passing.

15 Minutes with a DealerThis past October during Chicago Artists Month, aproject called Studio Chicago quietly began. It runsthrough October 2010 and offers a packed, dynamiclineup to engage Chicago artists in particular, as wellas curious Chicagoans & the international community.
The programs that are a part of Studio Chicago, includ-ing everything from publications, talks and discussions,to studio tours and exhibitions, have been proposed bymembers of Chicago’s arts scene and will be devel-oped throughout the year. The project’s goal is to buildcommunity and celebrate the working artist, while peek-ing behind doors to reveal their sites of creative produc-tion from historical and contemporary perspectives.
Artists work in more mediums (and new media) thanever before, and the idea of a typical studio filled withcanvases and paints is not as dominating as it oncewas. Today, artists may have workspace filled withmultiple computer screens and digital editing tools.There are romantic notions about the artist’s studio,as well as very practical realities, and all sides will beexamined through a range of core questions, such as“How and why does the studio matter to art and artiststoday?” and “What infrastructures are needed to sustainthriving art practice, and what role does the artist studioplay within this infrastructure?”
Several area institutions are core partners for StudioChicago, including the Chicago Department of CulturalAffairs, Columbia College, Gallery 400, Hyde Park ArtCenter, the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Schoolof the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), and threewalls.
Studio ChicagoThru October 2010Visit www.studiochicago.org for details.
Picturing the Studio at SAICPicturing the Studio is presented by SAIC, and contin-ues through February 13, at the Sullivan Galleries.

Several specialinstallations will also be undertaken by artists on site.
Curated by Michelle Grabner, SAIC, & Annika Marie,Columbia College, Picturing the Studio is presented inconjunction with the College Art Association's 98thAnnual Conference in Chicago, February 11–13, 2010and is made possible in part with funds from theCollege Art Association and the Illinois Arts Council.

You didn’t grow up with wealth and privilege;can you talk about having come so far in abusiness where the odds of success arestacked against you?I have great memories of growing up in BrightonPark (on Chicago’s southwest side) in a very bluecollar, middle class household. The old schoollessons & qualities I learned there have stuckwith me: honesty, integrity, loyalty, hard work,& making it a point to enjoy your life no matterwhat your financial situation is.
What drives you in your artwork fromyour family and your early life?A healthy escapism really drives me to obses-sively create a sort of magical, fantastic world.
I didn’t grow up exposed to the art world at homeor in elementary school, but I remember seeingthese beautiful Monet, Picasso and Calderposters on the walls at school. Obviously thiswas before the Internet, so I had to educatemyself about the art world at a very youngage in order to know more about the imagesI encountered daily. I also experienced a lotthrough comic books & cartoons, whichevery child can relate to.
My father was a salsa musician before com-ing to Chicago, so as a child I always had agreat sense of audio, percussion & music lis-tening to him play. The funny thing is, it was-n’t until I watched the Charlie Brown Peanutsholiday specials that I got turned on to Jazz.These happenings in life are the kinds that Ilove, become obsessed with, & investigate.
Another big impact on my artistic career isthe strong connection I have with PuertoRico. My family was very good about travel-ing to the island to visit relatives & connectwith our history, & that ultimately gave me asense of identity and culture. These are theexperiences & feelings I still carry with me today.
You currently show with Deitch Projectsin New York - some say Jeff Deitch is thebest “star maker” in the business. Tell usabout your relationship with him, as wellas your other artist / gallery relationships.Jeffrey is very enigmatic, & obviously his reputa-tion precedes him. He has been very helpful &influential on my career, and on the art world &market in general. He’s a very smart person & Itrust him quite a bit. Collectors, curators & institu-tions trust his vision, since he is very meticulouswhen he makes a commitment to an artist, projector exhibition. His decisions are very calculated &well thought out, & for him, it is all about the mes-sage & the quality of the work. He has organizeda very talented, hard working team at the gallery.These are the qualities that allow me to producethe most honest, sincere work I can in my studio.
My other two dealers (SCAI the Bathhouse inTokyo, & Leeahn Gallery, Daegu, South Korea)have very similar qualities. My gallerists trust myvision & support my projects artistically & finan-cially, which is rare these days. My first solo exhi-
bition in Vienna is with Galerie Krinzinger in 2010.Ursula Krinzinger is legendary for her commit-ment & vision, & her grooming of young artists &stable of prominent international artists speaksfor itself. I love to work with galleries that are inthis business for the long haul.
Talk about recent show at Art Basel, Miami.Silvia Cubiña, Director of the Bass Museum, & Idiscussed working together for awhile. During hertime as director of the influential Moore Space inMiami, she generated a lot of buzz amongst herpeers & other artists. So, asking me to produceone of her first exhibitions at the museum was abig decision that I didn’t take lightly. I actuallycanceled a few gallery exhibitions to focus onthis show. Out of the 8 large-scale installations,sculpture & paintings I produced for this exhibi-tion, only one pre-existed. Otherwise, the workwas made specifically for the museum. My goalwas that it worked in a smart, cohesive manner.
Not many artists reach the level of participat-ing in the Venice Biennale. Tell me aboutwhat you exhibited there; did your careerchange as a result of the experience?The Venice Biennale was an amazing opportuni-ty. The group of artists I exhibited with was handpicked to produce a proposal at the request of theUkrainian Pavilion & the billionaire collectorVictor Pinchuk (who helped fund the exhibition.)Once the artists where finalized, we went througha rigorous process of realization, budget, etc.My sculpture was a platform & metaphor for theUkrainian Diaspora. I related to this because Iam a child of first generation Puerto Rican immi-grants & encountered stereotyping while growingup, as well as an adult in the art world. I pro-duced a video asking, What is it to be Ukrainian?We approached people in rural & urban sectorsof The Ukraine as well as in Chicago – an impor-tant connection, since Chicago has one of theworld’s largest communities of Ukrainian immi-grants; the first wave arrived during 1870-1914.I worked with well-known Ukrainian filmmakers,journalists, musicians, scholars & locals toensure the video I produced was factual - butalso needed to make sure the viewerlistened, watched & questioned the piece. To
bring theviewer in,I createdan absurd,lowriderboat sculp-ture thatscreamedbeauty,desire,culture &commodity.The piece’stitle isDnipro, the name of the famous river separatingold & new Kiev. The piece also served as thevoice carrying a message from generations ofUkrainians across the river. The sculpture wasfabricated in Chicago & shipped to the Biennale,where we presented in front of the Pavilion open-ing night on the canals of Venice. The projectreally was a lot of work to pull off, & it wiped meout physically & emotionally. When everythingwas finally over, I was so exhausted I needed totake at least a month off.
Describe international projects you’ve done.I’ve been fortunate to create some great projectsaround the world, but I think a few stand out.For the installation I produced with FundamentFoundation in Tilburg, Netherlands, initially Iwas asked to create (along with a great cast ofartists: Jessica Diamond, Franz Ackermann, OsGemeos, Fabian Marcaccio) a large site-specificinstallation in the city center. We had to over-come some obstacles, &they didn’t have a largebudget, but in the end, the piece was such asuccess that the city & the foundation kept it for3 years instead of the intended 3 months.
The other two project standouts are local:• The permanent mosaic installation commis-sioned by the City of Chicago for the SedgwickEl stop, made entirely of Venetian glass & mirror.• The 100 foot painting produced for the newMcCormick West building’s permanent collection,curated by Paul Klein.
Thoughts on the current economic downturn?I hope it weeds out a lot of the crap we’ve hadto look at in certain galleries, & most art fairs.My hope is that the some of the exhibitionsyoung museum curators are getting away with -overrated, hyped, young ‘art stars’ & repetitivetrendy group exhibitions - are over. I firmlybelieve that slow & steady wins the race.Honest work will always prevail.
Any tips for youngsters coming up as artists?Create a unique language. Be concerned aboutthe authenticity & quality of the work - the artworld, & general public, will see through every-thing else.
Will you always be an artist?Yes. A healthy, happy artist at that.
What excites you right you now?Clarity.

Question:I love the new Modern Wing at The Art Institute,but I am confused about the name. Doesn’t theWing have modern and contemporary art? Whatis the difference between those two terms?
Answer:While the words “modern” and “contemporary”are often interchangeable in the English lan-guage, they are quite different from each other inthe art world. A simple rule of thumb would be:
• Modern Art dates from Impressionism -- orsome time in the late nineteenth century, depend-ing on which “ism” you wish to include -- up tothe 1960s.
• Contemporary Art usually covers work createdfrom the mid-twentieth century up to now – art ofour time.
But there are all sorts of overlapping chronologi-cal dates, periods or styles that distinguish thetwo broad terms. Within them are: expression-ism, realism, modernism, post modernism, photorealism, minimalism, abstraction…to name onlya few.
Often, museums or institutions will house Modernand Contemporary art together. For example,The Art Institute has described its new ModernWing as providing “a new home for the museum’scollection of 20th and 21st century art, includingthe museum’s world-renowned collections ofmodern European painting and sculpture, con-temporary art, architecture and design, and pho-tography. Indeed it is a repository of bothModern and Contemporary treasures. Oncethere for a visit, the galleries within the museumare divided to better showcase the differenttypes, styles or periods of art.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York wasestablished in 1929. It, too, includes a combina-tion of modern and contemporary art in its collec-tions despite its “Modern” name.
Some institutions clearly define their contentswith a specific name. For example, The Museumof Contemporary Art in Chicago, established in1966, has in its collections work from 1945 to thepresent, with an emphasis on late 20th and 21stcentury works.
