“And, in some instances, cheap materials. One of the best group shows came at the start of the year, in the midst of an already interminably long winter. “The Exquisite City, City of Cardboard” at the Chicago Tourism Center exhibited a wonderfully wacky, three-dimensional metropolis made out of the stuff used for package parcels. Dozens of artists of all stripes – from printmaker Jay Ryan to musician Sally Timms – wrought houses and buildings, entire blocks, cars and telephone lines out of cardboard, transforming the otherwise banal Tourism Center into a minicity complete with sound and lighting effects. Initially, 40 artists were invited to participate. Seventy contributed. If that’s not local solidarity, we don’t know what is.” –Lauren Viera, Chicago Tribune
Congratulations to Kathleen Judge and all of the artists who contributed! As Tim said… “What a highlight to our amazing year!”
