		<description><![CDATA[“These are the people I love,” remarks Carmen Price as we admire his ninety-eight panels of graphically embellished names of friends. The salon-style grid of drawings, like commemorative texts, are adorned faintly with pearlescent acrylic washes and cubed or loopy cursive lettering. Price traces his involvement in the arts back to grade school where he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Do you remember “USA for Africa”? What about “We Are the World”—those well-intended expressions of the otherwise non-existent Reagan-era social conscience? (Okay, we shouldn’t forget “Hands Across America”). In 1985, composer Quincy Jones, along with stars Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, enlisted the help of dozens of (then popular) recording industry superstars, forming a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Brian McNearny and Edra Soto’s two-person show, “Forever Vegetal,” treats the themes of birth and death with mythological import. On the birth side, McNearny’s “Bog” is the place where life begins—in a thick, heavily textured oil painting. The primordial Dagobah sends forth the figure of “Glob,” the vaguely mutant form surfaced from oil paint [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The West Town gallery Roots &#38; Culture has shown a wide variety of work over the last three years, but, as with most good independent spaces, there’s a house style. It is a recognizable look, the folksy RISD-style psychedelic expressionism promulgated in the wider culture by macramé owls with twig antlers and Day-Glo silk-screen posters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Jason Foumberg The Hyde Park Art Center has long positioned itself as a booster for a Chicago Style. In the 1960s the Center hosted the legendary “Hairy Who?” exhibitions and now, seventy years after opening its doors, they’re at it again by defining a moment in the city’s artistic history with the exhibition “Artists [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sabine Gruffat’s video art and Vanesa Zendejas’ drawings/collages couldn’t be less similar, and experiencing the two together at Roots &#38; Culture is less thought-provoking than incoherent. Gruffat’s work is much stronger and more provocative, suggesting an obsession with media theory in the Marshall McLuhan tradition of media as extensions of ourselves. Gruffat plays with the [...]]]></description>

At turns grim and hopeful, the responses present a slice of Chicago’s varied interests. Brian Sholis, Art Critic: I suspect this year&#8217;s fair will be a cake of apprehension and worry frosted with taut smiles and outward [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED &#8220;Suspend&#8221; focuses on the work of five contemporary female painters working in various modes of deconstruction: from flat surfaces and geometric patterning to painterly landscapes and aggressive gestures. That the work is not immediately &#8220;feminine&#8221; is to its credit—it holds up as a legitimate counterpoint to all-boys shows, like the one currently at neighbor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Isak Applin’s exhibit &#8220;Six More Miles&#8221; presents a case study on the life and times of an assemblage of various hipster types. “5000” stands as a quasi-example of “The Potato Eaters” of our time; a bunch of beard-sporting, flannel-wearing guys alongside women bearing equally expressionless faces bears a striking resemblance to the emptiness and futility [...]]]></description>
