		<description><![CDATA[“I am for an art that embroils itself with the everyday crap &#38; still comes out on top,” wrote Claes Oldenburg, in 1961, in a non-traditional artist statement titled “I am for an art.” Brandon Alvendia would like to see more artists define their practices in light of Oldenberg’s spirited dictums. He reframes Oldenburg’s “everyday [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As studio artists, Jenny Kendler and Molly Schafer felt limited in the amount of time and money they could spare to champion “the magical and natural world” that they both care deeply about. Through their previous collaborations they learned that activism sometimes works better outside the gallery system. “We found there exists enormous gaps between [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I walked into Woman Made Gallery this past Wednesday to review Beatrice Fisher’s retrospective, surveying fifty years of art making. Intrigued by the gallery’s website, which noted this was Fisher’s first solo exhibition and that she had studied under renowned Chicago artists Karl Wirsum and Don Baum, I had certain expectations; I was instantly taken, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem like a small victory, but paper still exists. Yes, paper, that humble material. What we once claimed to drown in is now a collector’s item. For some, it’s like Tic Tacs, disposable and then who cares? But many do cherish and covet it. I’ve seen someone sniff paper and sing, “Ohh that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is William Staples a man out of time, or does the rigor with which he poses questions about his medium provide an unsettling reminder of how easy it’s become to collapse art history into visual culture, paintings into “images”? To look at Staples’ paintings is to grapple with this question. Most of his works are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Jason Foumberg
I’ve long romanticized the role of Old Man. Retired and happily pensioned, my time is my own. The long days return with childlike buoyancy, I drink bourbon for sport, and maybe write a memoir because, hell, I’ve seen it all. But old age is a destination, and like any long road trip there’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An artist working in collage can make one of two major statements: by selecting and cutting material from piles of old magazines, the collagist either despairingly critiques the ever-flowing fountain of consumer information, or else she is a cosmopolite, joining disparate faces and places into a communal frame.
Candace Hunter is this second type of collagist. [...]]]></description>

Elijah Burgher introduced me to sigils, which are words or sentences with the vowels removed and the remaining letters crushed into a compact shape. The phrase, now unreadable, resembles an abstract line drawing in its careful composure. If the sigil’s creator wishes to release its original meaning into the world, like a spell, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Jason Foumberg
On a recent summer evening at dusk, a group of people decided to go for a walk together, silently. This involved, most basically, a quiet herd of amblers moving through a Logan Square neighborhood eyeing green grass and fingering cinderblock walls. On another level, though, this was a Walk, as Thoreau would have [...]]]></description>
