For those of you going to chicago on tuesday here is an imagestudio tip. I just recieved notice from
Bodybuilder and Sportsman Gallery of their current exhibition of
Diana Guerrero-Macia' exhibit. She "samples text and imagery from pop culture and then reassembles these fragmentary sources into "paintings." These are not paintings in the traditional sense but are hand-sewn fabric (typically using wool, cotton and vinyl) that is stretched like a canvas". Also look for any
Ken Fandell that might be on display. He was just in a
group show with other gallery artists working in diverse ways with images.
I also recommend other galleries in the West loop - especially
Donald Young now showing Gary Hill (a very important artist who uses video and sound- you don't see this everyday) and
Rhona Hoffman and among others.
Monique Meloche Gallery has a group show up entitled "Sublime, Soft-core Monkey Butts and Scarlett Johannson on Skull Island" that invovles numerous image artists. There is one bus that will go right to the west loop after we arrive at the art institute. Otherwise, I plan to head over there at about 12:30 in a cab - if anyone wants to pile in. -

Here is a pdf of an article on new economic model of work.
CoasesPenguin.pdf. It talks about the peer-commons system that is a theoretical description of open source work methods like those that are creating linux operating system. -paul
