chicago west loop galleries: part II

I can already here the bellyaching..."where's the russell post?"...calm down...I have the last installment from the west loop galleries in chicago. For you detroiters and midwesters out there, I highly recommend a trip to visit chicago galleries. It might not be as vast as chelsea or la but they do have talent to offer in their growing art district.

Great, great exhibition at Kavi Gupta Gallery's project space!

hahahaha...my photo host wouldn't allow for this image of artist Clare Rojas' "Naked Man" - a painting of a mustached naked man, phewy on sexist photobucket for not letting us see a naked cartoon man!

For this installation you went inside a dark room and climbed on a ladder to see a projection of old buildings playing to opera style music. To me this piece seemed like it would have fit into Shrinking Cities.

Good bye chicago, thanks for the hot dogs, pizza and art!
