Subj: Art 1999 Chicago at Navy Pier
Did anyone go see the Art show at Navy Pier this past weekend?
This year's Navy Pier show was excellent as always.
It seems that there was more photography this year than in the past shows. Again, there was an absence of digital/computer work. Must be because the dealers are there to primarily sell, and the digital stuff doesn't sell as well, I suppose. Of course there is the exception with Nam June Paik who always seems to have work somewhere in the Pier show every year. Also absent from this year's show was any larger than life sculptures. (Of course there were the great large sculptures outside for the Pier Walk show.) Another "trend" I noticed is that quite a few galleries that had pieces made from corrugated cardboard.
If you missed this show, there's always SOFA (Sculpture, Objects, Functional Art) in the Fall. It's also at Navy Pier. The Pier Walk will still be up when this show comes around.
