According to&nbsp;Carla Acevedo-Yates, the Marilyn and Larry Fields curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, you can’t. This month, Acevedo-Yates—who is of Puerto Rican descent—welcomed guests to a highly anticipated first look at her new exhibition, “Forecast Form: Art in the Caribbean Diaspora, 1990s–Today.” Its curation follows the idea of weather, in all its iterations, as a driving mechanism for Caribbean storytelling.&nbsp;Via Vogue&nbsp;<a href="https://www.culturedmag.com">Theaster Gates Digs into Chance the Rapper's Newfound Revolution</a>Chance the Rapper has had an explosive jump from young Chicago poet to sound artist and cold-blooded MC philanthropist. His latest interdisciplinary endeavors—including “The Highs &amp; The Lows,” a music and visual arts hybrid that he premiered at Art Basel, “Child of God,” an exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and the Black Star Line Festival in Accra, Ghana in January 2023—cross the definitions and expectations of art and entertainment to connect, represent, and advance Blackness. Here, CULTURED's Winter 2022 coverstar speaks in conversation with artist and professor Theaster Gates, whose two concurrent New York exhibitions at the New Museum and Gagosian 976 Madison Avenue join his long CV of works that try to intellectualize, understand, and, in many ways, salvage the human experience.Via Cultured&nbsp;<a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/police-london-gallery-banksy-former-agent-sculpture-2226405">Police Broke Into the Gallery of Banksy’s Former Agent, Mistaking a Sculpture for a Dead Woman</a>Police barged into a London gallery owned by Banksy’s former agent, mistakenly presuming a hyper-realistic sculpture was a person in a critical condition.The work, Kristina (2022) by American artist Mark Jenkins, depicts a casually-dressed woman collapsed over a table.Via ArtnetKey image: Kristina (2022) by Mark Jenkins, commissioned by Steve Lazarides.

The firm looks forward to welcoming local clients as well as those who have traveled to Chicago into its new full-service saleroom and preview galleries. The Carroll Avenue headquarters is located at The Auxiliary, a historic building which housed the former Benrus Watch Company.In addition to the Carroll Avenue headquarters, the firm has also opened a newly renovated office at 222 North Maplewood Avenue.

Hindman presents more than 140 auctions each year.

The selection committee unanimously chose Julien Creuzet: “In his work, poetry infuses with strength and generosity a plurality of practices: sculpture, text, video, music, performance, and new technologies. These different elements compose immersive and multi-sensory worlds animated by whispered memories. His singular practice and his talent for oral literature are guided by creolization and bring together a diversity of materials, stories, shapes and gestures. The questions raised by his work will find at the French Pavilion in Venice a particularly important resonance with those of our time."&nbsp;<a href="https://comfortstationlogansquare.org/features-blog/2022/11/30/home-comforts-2022">Third Annual Auction Raises Funds for Working Artists&nbsp;</a>Comfort Station is pleased to announce HOME COMFORTS, our third annual auction to raise funds in support of Comfort Station’s programming and working artists in our community.December 7–14.HOME COMFORTS is comprised of two different categories of works available, Deep Cuts and Commissions, each offering a range of works from both emerging and established artists. Through Deep Cuts we have invited Chicago-based artists to pull special works from their studio inventory and offer them up for auction, with proceeds split between the artist and Comfort Station. In the frenetic pace of making and showing work in the gallery circuit, many artists’ pieces often find their way back into the studio and off the immediate market. Deep Cuts aims to bring these works back into circulation, offering collectors unique pieces from different points in the artists’ careers.&nbsp;This year our commissions are offered in partnership with some of our favorite galleries in Chicago, highlighting the important connection between the non-profit and commercial sectors of the arts community. We’re grateful to DOCUMENT, Carrie Secrist, and Engage Projects for their support.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/top-videos-home/annual-international-small-print-show-held-in-chicago/3014407/?fbclid=IwAR0yC-4uziii4ItpxBJMMdzcmq_azv5qU8iVUIO2nASo4sEkLwuZgKhtr_U">Channel 5 Visits Chicago Printmakers Collaborative's Small Print Show</a>An annual international small print show will be held in Chicago, highlighting dozens of artists, NBC 5’s LeeAnn Trotter reports.&nbsp;</body></html>

But, she said recently, one of the highlights of her career was a piece that few people will ever see: an abstract mural of a night sky in a London psychiatric hospital.Commissioned by the British nonprofit Hospital Rooms and finished last month, the deep blue work depicts a cascade of falling stars and covers an atrium wall at Springfield University Hospital in South London. At moments when mental health patients could be feeling trapped, Biswas said in an interview, her mural might “give them a sense of wonderment, a bit of hope.”Via NYT&nbsp;<a href="https://news.artnet.com/market/10-memorable-artworks-from-the-past-20-years-art-basel-miami-beach-2213627">Tens of Thousands of Artworks Have Debuted at Art Basel Miami Beach Over the Past 20 Years.

The factors often vary greatly.Politics often play a role, as has been the case with the many recent protests led at museums by climate activists around the world. Personal interests often can become paramount as well, as they have with a variety of young provocateurs who have targeted others’ artworks, sometimes even as part of their own art practices.In each case, however, the base motive remains the same: to raise a ruckus by disturbing the look or reputation of art people know all too well.Via ARTNews&nbsp;

<html><head></head><body>CHICAGO, IL (November 9, 2022)– 3Arts, the Chicago-based nonprofit grantmaking organization, announced the recipients of the third annual 3Arts Next Level/Spare Room Award—a $50,000 unrestricted cash award given to three women visual artists who are past 3Arts awardees—during its 15th annual 3Arts Awards Celebration hosted virtually on November 7, live on YouTube. With support from an anonymous donor at the Chicago Community Foundation, this year’s 3Arts Next Level/Spare Room Award honors visual artists A.J. McClenon, Pooja Pittie, and Reveca Torres in recognition of their outstanding work in the arts and commitment to increased visibility for their communities.“The Next Level program is an uncommon concept in the grantmaking field in which a second award at a higher level is distributed to a past recipient,” said 3Arts Executive Director Esther Grisham Grimm, “It is one of the many ways that we as an organization show our ongoing support to our 3Arts community of artists throughout their entire careers and reflects our commitment to investing in the creative heart of our city.”During the November 7 event, 3Arts awarded ten 3Arts Awards recipients who received $30,000 in unrestricted cash grants. Another ten artists were selected by past 3Arts awardees to receive $4,000 unrestricted grants throughMake a Wave, an artist-to-artist grant program.3Arts premiered new commissions by past 3Arts awardees during the Awards celebration, including in a new performance with the all-women percussion group Woori Sori (“Our Voice”) by Aram Han Sifuentes; a new music video for her original song “Walls + Ceilings” from her debut album BT/SHE/HER by Bethany Thomas; a new dance film by Robby Lee Williams with fellow dancer Connor Cornelius and visual artist Genevieve Ramos; and a new video from Santiago X’s Land Acknowledgement series. The entire evening’s celebration is available to view on 3Arts’ YouTube channel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJkTk5sYa7w">HERE</a>.The celebratory evening was co-chaired by Candace Hunter (past 3Arts awardee), Lynn M. Lockwood (civic leader), and Mel Smith (3Arts Treasurer).The 2022 recipients of the 3Arts Next Level/Spare Room Award ($50,000 per artist):&nbsp;A.J. McClenon<figure class="image image-style-side"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419134/vohncvxlk0vsmbvmm02i.jpg" alt="image004.jpg"></figure>A.J. McClenon is an interdisciplinary artist, born and raised in Washington, D.C. and who now calls Chicago a second home. Among McClenon’s ongoing work, VEGA is an interdisciplinary project that includes performances, writing, video and mixed-media drawings/collages, and objects that explores histories of Black escapism and the future of renegotiations of human hierarchies among other species during escape routes into the skies and into the waters. McClenon received a Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, a Bachelor of Arts and minor in creative writing from University of Maryland and studied at The New School. McClenon has presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, LA Film Forum, Echo Park Film Center, Danspace Project, Woman Made Gallery, Roman Susan Gallery, Links Hall, National Museum of African American History &amp; Culture, and Hyde Park Art Center.“To me, this recognition is a vindication of faith: faith in the work, in the community, and in the process of creation. The 3Arts community works hard to push forward sustainable practices in the arts with unyielding intention, compassion, and the truest kind of empathy. This award will open up a new world of collaboration, a reachable focus, and the freedom to work in a way that I haven't been able to ever before,” says McClenon.Pooja Pittie<figure class="image image-style-side"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419134/rbyx8l771mj2rer9obq8.jpg" alt="image006.jpg"></figure>Pooja Pittie is a visual artist who lives and works in Chicago. Born and raised in India, Pittie began her career in accounting and finance. In 2016, she decided to pursue her lifelong passion for art and shifted her focus to painting full-time. Pittie has an incurable and progressive form of muscular dystrophy. Her painting process explores the constantly changing relationship between a slow-moving body and an active mind.&nbsp;Pittie is an alumna of the HATCH residency at Chicago Artists Coalition and the Center Program at Hyde Park Art Center. As a Board member of both organizations, she is an advocate for equity and accessibility in the Arts. Her paintings have been exhibited at EXPO Chicago, Art Miami, and the Union League Club of Chicago. Pittie is represented by the McCormick Gallery in Chicago.“For the past few years, the 3Arts community has been a safe and inclusive space for me to learn and grow as a disabled artist. I am grateful for the opportunity to support each other as we navigate the complexities of working as disabled artists. The award will give me the freedom to dive deeper into the themes of my practice, and at the same time, allow me to take a deep breath and create space for new ideas,” says Pittie.&nbsp;Reveca Torres<figure class="image image-style-side"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419135/owlrxftrdormc2hk6r5h.jpg" alt="image008.jpg"></figure>Reveca Torres uses painting, illustration, photography, film, movement, and other media as forms of expression and tools for advocacy and social justice. After completing degrees in Fashion Design and Theatre Arts, Torres worked as a costume designer and simultaneously with organizations doing disability work in health, advocacy, recreation, and peer support. She is founder of BACKBONES, a nonprofit and community for people living with spinal injuries (SCI) and is co-director of ReelAbilities Film Festival Chicago. Torres received fellowships with the Hulu+ Kartemquin Accelerator Program as well as Docs in Progress. She was also selected for the Craig Neilsen Visionary Award for her art and advocacy work. Tres Fridas Project, Reveca’s collaboration with artists Mariam Paré and Tara Ahern, recently exhibited alongside Frida Kahlo: Timeless at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art.“The Next Level award comes to me at a time where I am feeling more confident in the stories I am telling and the ways I am telling these stories through my lens as a woman of color with a disability. Receiving my second award from 3Arts makes me feel seen by my community, and puts me in a wonderful place by providing visibility and funds for me to make space for others with disabilities in the art world and society at large,” says Torres.The 2022 Next Level/Spare Room Award judges are Linda Earle, Allyson Esposito, and Sacha Yanow.&nbsp;As previously announced, the 2022 recipients of 3Arts Awards ($30,000 per artist):&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419136/au7qkrlw4ppxsqi1jpk2.jpg" alt="image009.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Dance artists Winifred Haun and Sarita Smith Childs; musicians Akenya and Nashon Holloway; teaching artists Peregrine Bermas and Simone Reynolds; theater artists Miranda Gonzalez and Omar Abbas Salem; and visual artists Rozalinda Borcilă and zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal.As previously announced, the 2022 recipients of the Make A Wave Awards ($4,000 per artist):Zahra Glenda Baker (vocalist, storyteller, and teaching artist); Maggie Brown (vocalist and teaching artist); Stephanie “Stef Skills” Garland (street art muralist and educator); Leah Ra’Chel Gipson (interdisciplinary artist and scholar); Terry Guest (playwright, actor, and director); Malik Johnson aka 99TheProducer (cellist, composer, and producer); Ivan Lozano (visual artist and podcaster); Elisabeth YJ Seonwoo aka Kerberus (dancer); Andrea Yarbrough (maker, curator, and educator); and Wai Yim (actor, director, choreographer, and playwright).&nbsp;</body></html>

Afterward, walk attendees are invited to enjoy cocktails and al fresco (in November!) dining at River North's restaurants.&nbsp;A November gallery walk has been around in the district for many years at a time when galleries are eager to invite collectors and visitors to the city on self-guided tour of area spaces, from Huron, Superior, and Wells Streets, while meeting artists, curators, and gallery staff.&nbsp;The galleries held a successful and busy September Gallery Walk and this weekend's gathering promises to be busy once again.

Late Autumn Gallery Walk in River North is Nov 4

<html><head></head><body><figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419126/t8hovzk3kydnhgqbgaui.jpg"><figcaption>Finite (2021) by Yiyun Kang</figcaption></figure>Via PRArt on theMART today announced the two acclaimed artists featured in its 2023 programming. Brooklyn-based multi-disciplinary artist Derrick Adams will present a commissioned piece for Art on theMART as a part of spring programming for 2023. Joining him will be Korean artist Dr. Yiyun Kang, whose projection will premiere as a part of the fall 2023 lineup. Additional plans for 2023 include the launch of a guest curator program: a platform for digital curators to commission artists and contribute toArt on theMART’s curatorial vision for 2024. &nbsp;Derrick Adams, a Baltimore-born, New York-based artist, identifies his practice as a fearless inquiry into Black life to emphasize a narrative that champions humanity and wholeness. Rooted in deconstructivism, Adams’ acclaimed work is multi-disciplinary spanning painting, collage, sculpture, performance, and video. &nbsp;Adams has chosen to study the influence of pop culture and self-image through the Black lens, leading him to question and reflect on the Black American experience through art history, consumerism, and iconography. Most recently, Adams assembled a multi-media installation titled “Packaged Black” at The Henry Gallery in Seattle in collaboration with Barbara Earl Thomas, which explored their shared dialogue on Black identity, practices and cultural resistance. &nbsp;Dr. Yiyun Kang, a veteran in the field of projection mapping and immersive art, has hosted exhibitions at numerous art institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum and Seoul Museum of Art, and has participated in international events such as the Venice Architecture Biennale and the Shenzhen New Media Art Festival. Working at the intersection of art, sound and technology, Kang’s projection mapping installations create kinetic environments for audiences to explore. She is perhaps best known for her 2021 solo exhibition at PKM Gallery in South Korea titled Anthropause, which explored the finite nature of humanity and the rapid depletion of Earth’s resources in the form of an animated digital projection. &nbsp;Adams is presented in partnership with Rhona Hoffman Gallery. Dr. Kang is presented in partnership with Superblue Gallery.&nbsp;“We look forward to sharing what renowned Derrick Adams has in store for spring 2023,” said Cynthia Noble, executive director of Art on theMART. “And Yiyun Kang’s impressive oeuvre of digital projection mapping artworks made her a natural choice to be featured on Art on theMART. It is truly exciting to connect with such a powerful voice from Seoul. Art on theMART’s fifth anniversary is shaping up to be one of our best years yet.”&nbsp;In addition to the two featured artists announced today, Art on theMART will also establish a guest curator initiative where specialists in digital art will be selected to joinArt on theMART for a 15-month period, commissioning new artists and bringing new voices and curatorial insights to Art on theMART. Art on theMART’s curatorial advisory board will select candidates who will work on assembling programs for 2024.&nbsp;“Our guest curator program will not only build upon Art on theMART’s curatorial vision and programming through new global perspectives, but will also bolster an under-served field,” said Noble. &nbsp;Art on theMART is free and can best be experienced from the jetty section of the Chicago Riverwalk on Wacker Drive between Wells Street and Franklin Street, where accompanying audio can be experienced. <a href="https://u56787.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=OiNP8Syn9LlCN8uf9dD0j5nGstIfx4iGmM0GxnxTR2F3BZbImuSq2RySZSDsL8Vqj6gUfiDdQRXHKVRY7b1Tun1AoeIb8ZEk6OlVCEUpRz3hGpRsN9Mfz77yTOQ9Qwg-2FJ-2FF7Zdzga-2FKvJYsx0tXhhRwGW7fXEkIuRrFW2yTTn24-3DwVbO_BYLPtpUivDHORxxkVXshLCRT3wjV7CgXbLJWP9J5MP-2BvAdgfICCFFHxnTjvEhUHLATit0Q8QLp1LC-2BEz94L007cIzaJ5X2O6z6fZNnnfytz4O2GEhL-2BoW19-2BOIjlTtwbGpi3oyzHiRn5ZMoVxQONGvXNOavkIfjHj9u8qC-2BPAa8mpOyDx2-2Fkx0fDfObeijnkQ-2B-2B7IokGL33PUkyVRmwaBKdhgjqZZvg82ruRCudDuAxvWJs1WC0UfZTkN9Emikx4FgGuXoqNJlZxsGx6UwM9w4AjJcPK39TyB7cDPuFCGVfvDMbUd6HGAkdPJ6QLhFx5ZYxv44waBKJlIOFSwceM0iezQvZOyFJEnvzMx8ff7OYjoAS0zG71Zwph7SkmmDWqo6D1K7nyPl1pr6U2-2FDL3Ywub1blQ9H0htzY-2FTJjz3-2BLfJQi75LxEYPwD7dY4T1qwGPIgEkp0OPteWtjs0pbeQxM07qIgP7OXaCB4otfzOq6sHXzM16Wn6oOo7m3wjXDr-2BmJ1ND7DAAf8izIr1TaJxIrNX-2BM1X69rMcb1RdtfqnBVl6ppsm-2FOaCL8H70IPKPeX3-2FZeN1O76rqF3WQ7it0iLJW4P4nsTan0TWRAskDMPQzVdZnRJc2Rqe7jSeYjWASgwlYT9JFZVo3ik5u5dVD4Jf0M3rvQFINMQRWYAy4ElrnAvVJ42-2BYTtn52zMPnaZnsr3RcHI5wRLDExMyEQKjBKtglY3njLubCLEQ8yD69qMXOC1EkPS2f4Fga9q2ImeISRlQHKdBnUz8MvCr2t8hbbqtuO5YPjscgH-2BYdNzumB3QQSG6d7y0EQinW3A03iRPZh6GEJDqEm-2BbGTMsLb-2BxBWmUCgb8FYf0cu7tyyw-2BLfHTG3RKnJ4d9r1oL1B-2B8crO2IgTJtz-2BOseM8hYrkbnat2g6GH0Yq1cujRF0KZ-2B9ESd-2BqlQnd24F5d5JKxIdH0Jw9ixzEKiIEKKmoWZHKFdGA5XVhGgUfZ9jk-2FQWlCvTWFsYQ5tveOIHeW03-2Fmh47RsSnqs2VB57-2FLVzpJ2AM4ioGw-3D-3D">Fall programming</a> is on view every night at 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. through Nov. 18, 2022. <a href="https://u56787.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=OiNP8Syn9LlCN8uf9dD0j5nGstIfx4iGmM0GxnxTR2ExyyhDCEaNXQdNUn0a-2BPDdQkqV906l-2FjfXprpZkdQD44PlLlFa0n8u7O-2F5KXBCAlVjnxO733x0AZeeWWp0K3B4m7Jw2SUTQ4qPuu-2Bocj2kFs9CW7cq8KymfsZveGmVFss-3DXJ-d_BYLPtpUivDHORxxkVXshLCRT3wjV7CgXbLJWP9J5MP-2BvAdgfICCFFHxnTjvEhUHLATit0Q8QLp1LC-2BEz94L007cIzaJ5X2O6z6fZNnnfytz4O2GEhL-2BoW19-2BOIjlTtwbGpi3oyzHiRn5ZMoVxQONGvXNOavkIfjHj9u8qC-2BPAa8mpOyDx2-2Fkx0fDfObeijnkQ-2B-2B7IokGL33PUkyVRmwaBKdhgjqZZvg82ruRCudDuAxvWJs1WC0UfZTkN9Emikx4FgGuXoqNJlZxsGx6UwM9w4AjJcPK39TyB7cDPuFCGVfvDMbUd6HGAkdPJ6QLhFx5ZYxv44waBKJlIOFSwceM0iezQvZOyFJEnvzMx8ff7OYjoAS0zG71Zwph7SkmmDWqo6D1K7nyPl1pr6U2-2FDL3Ywub1blQ9H0htzY-2FTJjz3-2BLfJQi75LxEYPwD7dY4T1qwGPIgEkp0OPteWtjs0pbeQxM07qIgP7OXaCB4otfzOq6sHXzM16Wn6oOo7m3wjXDr-2BmJ1ND7DAAf8izIr1TaJxIrNX-2BM1X69rMcb1RdtfqnBVl6ppsm-2FOaCL8H70IPKPeX3-2FZeN1O76rqF3WQ7it0iLJW4P4nsTan0TWRAskDMPQzVdZnRJc2Rqe7jSeYjWASgwlYT9JFZVo3ik5u5dVD4Jf0M3rvQFINMQRWYAy4ElrnAvVJ42-2BYTtn52zMPnaZnsr3RcHI5wRLDExMyEQKjBKtglY3njLubCLEQ8yD69qMXOC1EkPS2f4Fga9q2ImeISRlQHKdBnUz8MvCr2t8hbbqtuO5YPjscgH-2BYdNzumB3QQSG6d7y0EQinW3A03iRPJb6PoQGaw3H-2BoliJzKecJbgN-2FK-2BX3XCtbDQktuh17NVPJxvwdNDujSKVU2wzivqhPrc9ZrzckHAoQx55vn5Uu98-2B54n8SqralyOKr1LKhgSan4OlEjAfV-2FDAo6aZ3SsGCM01vIJpwnJZ9GHiaJLDwvKxW7o00OmDUxrWmFTwQMDRc-2Fh1979kRNvWR6REJd1RpBk7RFdAMsJrITulrWNmbA-3D-3D">Winter programming</a> premieres the evening of Nov. 19 with the new start times of 7:30 and 8 p.m. and will be on view nightly through Dec. 30.

This expansive permanent piece of public art continues Chicago’s legacy of providing both residents and visitors with exceptional art that is both free and accessible to all. Projections are visible to the public from Wacker Drive and along the Chicago Riverwalk. &nbsp;The program content rotates seasonally and is selected with the assistance and expertise of the Curatorial Advisory Board. The City of Chicago and theMART work in partnership to manage and curate the projected artwork over the course of a 30-year agreement. Privately funded by Vornado Realty Trust, owner of theMART, Art on theMART marks the first time a projection of its size and scope is completely dedicated to digital art with no branding, sponsorship credits or messaging. The permanent projection system illuminates theMART with 34 state-of-the-art projectors totaling almost one million lumens. &nbsp;&nbsp;</body></html>

<a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/arts/2022/10/27/artprize-moves-to-new-format-partnership/69597727007/">ArtPrize bows out in favor of new format, partnership</a>About 13 years after its debut and more than $6 million in awards and grants, the renowned ArtPrize contest in west Michigan will bow out and a new format will take its place through a partnership, officials announced Thursday.The effort, slated to be called "ArtPrize 2.0," is expected to "build upon the legacy of the international art competition," representatives said in a statement.Downtown Grand Rapids Inc., the city of Grand Rapids and Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University are leading the initiative."While there are certainly mixed emotions, we know the time is right to conclude the original ArtPrize experiment and open up space for new energy and creativity," said Rick DeVos, ArtPrize founder and chairman. "We are thrilled that the partnership of DGRI, KCAD, and the City of Grand Rapids is stepping forward to continue to produce an incredible fall event."Via Detroit News&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-ent-jerry-saltz-art-is-life-chicago-20221031-3tk6btvtrfcyzmcmapm7met3py-story.html">The Chicago origin — and breakdown — of Jerry Saltz, the everyman’s art critic</a>Decades before he became arguably the most important art critic in America, long ago when print was king and being the most important art critic in America meant having the gravitas to influence the direction of the art world itself, Jerry Saltz vowed to stand outside of the art world looking in. Being from Chicago helped. Having a minuscule studio near the Red Line in the Loop helped. Meeting <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/museums/ct-ent-0119-freed-collection-chicago-outsider-art-sale-20180115-story.html">outsider Chicago artists</a> like Joseph Yoakum and Lee Godie, and having grown up without much art at all, helped. Becoming a self-taught artist, and showing more affinity early on for the ancient art in the Field Museum than the celebrated art movements splashed across the Art Institute, that helped, too. As Saltz would write many years later, he loved that the Field was full of art removed from the burdens and judgments of the art world.Via Chicago Tribune&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/architecture-innovator-2022-jeanne-gang-studio-american-museum-natural-history-11666730917?st=gr6qkwgzdcv0ojh&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink">The Architect Behind New York’s Most Exciting New Building</a>This past spring, architect Jeanne Gang stood on the western edge of the natural history museum’s campus and watched as concrete spewed into the air through mechanized nozzles, clotting like wet snow around skeletons of wire and steel rebar to form the substance of her firm Studio Gang’s latest building. More like a landscape carved by wind and water than any kind of human creation, the six-story structure at West 79th Street and Columbus Avenue flows out of an opening between a clutch of existing buildings and announces itself to the world through a 65-foot-tall portal of glass, beckoning to be explored.Via WSJ&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/andy-warhol-sothebys-car-crash-painting-sale-1234644632/">Monumental Warhol ‘Car Crash’ Painting to Sell at Sotheby’s for More Than $80&nbsp;M.</a>An Andy Warhol painting from his famed “Death and Disasters” series will be auctioned during Sotheby’s marquee New York sales, where it could become one of the most expensive works by the artist ever publicly sold.Estimated to fetch a price in excess of $80 million, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), from 1963, will be sold on November 16 during a contemporary art evening sale. It is headed to auction without a financial guarantee, which means that there is still the possibility that it may not find a buyer.Via ARTnews&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In order to support the students of the future, the sale features work by some of the school's most famous alumni.&nbsp;The impressive list of artists includes Nick Cave, Sanford Biggers, Candida Alvarez, Roger Brown, Karl Wirsum, Angel Otero, Richard Hunt, Michelle Grabner, Jeffery Gibson, Diane Simpson, Richard Rezac and many more.“Art and design have a significant place in our society, and these practices have the power to help us see our world in unexpected ways and offer solutions to the challenges we face,” said SAIC President Elissa Tenny. “It is our responsibility as a world-class art and design college to break down barriers so any student who has the talent and desire can pursue this education, and supporting student scholarships is critical to this effort.”In addition to the online auction, on Friday, November 11, beginning at 6:30 p.m., SAIC will host A Happening Auction Party at its flagship public gallery, located at 33 E. Washington St. The event at SAIC Galleries celebrates the world-renowned artists and designers that have generously donated their works. Inspired by the boisterous “Happenings” of Allan Kaprow during 1950-60s where he and his contemporaries would perform small tasks that encompassed art, performance and spontaneity, the evening will include an exclusive, live auction with works fromSuellen Rocca, Karl Wirsum, Roger Brown, Betsy Rupprecht and Ellen Lanyon.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419127/wkztpwu7ae6got5oglgj.jpg"><figcaption>Karl Wirsum (BFA 1961, HON 2016), Mr. Fancy Pants, drawing on heavy paper, 17 x 14 inches</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419128/fefzbrlybjfagmi58u0x.jpg"><figcaption>Suellen Rocca (BFA 1964, HON 2016), Ancestor Signs, 1999–2012, graphite on paper, signed in graphite, 22 1/4 x 30 inches</figcaption></figure>&nbsp;Proceeds from both the ticket and auction sales will benefit student scholarships. Tickets for A Happening Auction Party begin at $300 and can be purchased at <a href="http://sites.saic.edu/artauction/">sites.saic.edu/artauction/</a>.“For more than 150 years, some of the most renowned artists have attended or taught at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and we’re thrilled to bring together such a prestigious selection of work from faculty and alums who have shaped the world of contemporary art today,” said SAIC Professor and former Dean of Faculty Lisa Wainwright, who is curating the collection. “The SAIC Art Auction and A Happening Auction Party offer a rare opportunity for art buyers to add to their collections while supporting the next generation of great artists.”Details on PerformancesThe Happenings of the evening are comprised of 8-10 minute performances, involving audiences dispersed throughout the galleries. The first happening, titled "Significant form," highlights 12 performers, or "happeners," who will choreograph audience members into intricate arrangements throughout the space, based on the colors of their garments, while making sounds and donning one - of-a-kind masks made by the artist Oli Watt. For the second happening, titled "The Banquet," the happeners will arrange the audience members into an absurd and surreal tableau and document the scene utilizing a number of polaroid cameras.Chris Ware GiveawayAll attendees on Nov. 11 may enter a drawing to win one of 10 limited edition prints by artist and alum Chris Ware.&nbsp;About the School of the Art Institute of ChicagoFor more than 155 years, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) has been a leader in educating the world’s most influential artists, designers, and scholars.
