I’ve hit my winter limit.

This is a quick post about seeing art in Chicago.

– If you missed the Film Por Vida show at Peanut Gallery you blew it. So many great photos from so many great people. Thank you so much to Tim Johnson for putting it together! Opening pictures are here.

– Tomorrow night (Thursday, February 7th) is the opening for As You Are a celebration of 10 years of the You Are Beautiful project. Such a simple amazing inspiring project. I couldn’t back anything more. Matt Hoffman is also putting together a book about the project. Kick a few dollars into the Kickstarter if you can.

– Saturday night I’m burning something!
VISITATION RITES A national slew of artists have contributed sacrificial sculptures to be consumed by the Franklin’s ritual fire pit. All sacrifices and peripheral behavior will be monitored be the all-seeing video eye of the Franklin, and kept on record for later review. Visitation Rites runs concurrently with Christopher Smith’s solo exhibition The Visitor’s Hours at the Franklin.”

I’m still getting some of the film from Austin developed and slowly adding the best ones to flickr. A full Austin recap eventually. In the meantime here’s a quick edit of some House Park rolling around on the morning of the last day.

Travel. Travel as much as you can. Explore. Adventure. Get a good crew and go.
