Subj: Senior Show

Congratulations to all the seniors. The show was very excellent. I was very impressed by the consistent quality of the work. Each individual’s show was well-focused and everyone’s pieces worked together very well in the gallery. I really enjoyed seeing the show and talking to the people there.

however. . .
I would like to see the senior/BFA shows up longer in the gallery. It is often difficult for many of our alumni to find a time in their busy schedule to go down and see the show. If the show was up longer, it would give us more of an opportunity to see the fine work that the students are creating. (Oh, by the way, ANYONE can post their work on-line at the artiwu gallery for everyone to see anytime)

I believe the show will be up until this Thursday, April 22.

Subj: **Photographers**

******PHOTOGRAPHERS******

I AM LOOKING FOR INFO ON BUYING A NEW CAMERA FOR A BACKPACK TRIP THIS
SUMMER. I WANT SOMETHING BOTH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC AND PROB WITH A ZOOM.
IT NEEDS TO BE COMPACT AND DURABLE AND NOT SO EXPENSIVE THAT MY TRIP
WOULD BE RUINED IF IT WERE LOST OR STOLEN. I HAVE FOUND A FEW OPTIONS,
BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF ANYONE COULD SEND SOME GOOD ADVICE OR WEB
SITES TO CHECK OUT BEFORE I BOUGHT ANYTHING!

ON ANOTHER NOTE... I WENT TO SEE HUBBARD STREET DANCE OVER THE WEEKEND
AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE! I THINK EVERYONE WOULD ENJOY THE SHOW -ESP THE
WORK BY NACHO DUATO AND READ MY HIPS (CLOSING). IT RUNS THROUGH MAY 2 AT
THE SHUBERT AND TICKETS RANGE FROM ABOUT $12 TO AROUND $35

CHICAGO CULTURAL CENTER
78 E. Washington, Chicago, Illinois 60602

Jacob Hashimoto: Armada
April 10 - June 6
For this exhibition, Hashimoto has created a new room-size installation especially for the Chicago Cultural Center. “Armada” is both kinetic and interactive, intended to engage the viewer by the manual activation of its more than 1,000 small wood and fabric sailboats &ndash each suspended in space &ndash into a gently undulating motion. This most recent of Hashimoto’s projects continues his vision of buoyancy that has been called “simple, elegant, beautiful &mdash and necessary.” A recent graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Hashimoto currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Subj: f news (School of the Art Institute Paper)

I just discovered a new art newspaper. The F News by the students of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I've only seen two issues so far. But it looks like a pretty good art newspaper. This month's issue in April has numerous interesting articles.
-New MCA Curator's Laboratory of Ideas": An interview with the new curator at the MCA.
-Exploring Chicago's smaller galleries
-"At the end of the Alpha6et" Creating art for yourself, not to examine what is art.

There's a regular column called "Art Blotter" filled with funny art stories. (This will be a nice source for funny art stories in the artiwu digest.)

I think the article on the new curator at the MCA deserves to be shared with artiwu, so I'm gonna write up a brief abstract on it.

Subj: Art-o-Mat

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- As cigarette vending machines teeter toward extinction, Clark Whittington came up with the idea of incorporating a 1950s model for a work of conceptual art he called Art-o-Mat.

Instead of selling packs of Camel or Winston cigarettes, Art-o-Mat dispenses similiar-sized art works, ranging from "Dog Chewed Matter" (with the aid of Whittington's mixed-breed puppy, Maggie), to ones with intriguing titles like "Chunks" and "Surf & Turf."

There's also a "Pack of Poems," which contains four tiny scrolls featuring original poetry.

Whittington, 31, is hoping Art-o-Mat will hook people on art instead of nicotine. He's displaying original works form 40 artists from as close as Winston-Salem to as far away as Ohio. (AP)
