Nancy Rosen
I am beyond excited to present our next show which happens to be of my mother, whom is one of the most incredible artists I know.
Since Nancy Rosen was a little child she has found solace in the small things: sunflower seeds, rubber band balls, using the roll of toothpaste until there is not a single drop left. She sees beauty and comfort in repetition, patterns in most any variety.
It's the little things that guide her painting. The way a subject smiles. The way the light hits their arm. That tiny background detail that suddenly seems dreadfully important to the finished work. Nancy's artistic process is one of open arms.
She paints without vacation or hiatus, filling the walls of her Chicago studio with works-in-progress, none removed until they're finished. Patterns beget new patterns; images layer on top of one another as she aims to capture little human encounters, ranging from a soft embrace to the hidden, reassuring brush of an index finger at the edge of the picture plane.
She's truly an artist in every essence of the word. More Is More, in the Family Room, represents a diverse and expansive taste of her endless collection—a wide variety of little things.
I hope that you will join us Friday, October 8 from 6 to 12pm. There will be a ton of people. Beer, food, coffee, great music and so much more. Hope to see you there, we'll certainly keep you posted on details as they surface.
Here's the link to our facebook event page.

Estelle Sauvage
I love tea. I love my electric tea kettle. I would rock this thing. Very nice Estelle.
This kettle by Ecole Nationale supérieure d’Art et de Design de Saint-Etienne graduate Estelle Sauvage uses a light bulb to heat water for a cup of tea.

Sónar 2010 visits the windy city
Music
Sónar is a Barcelona-based festival of advanced music and multimedia art that has been running strong since 1994. Luckily for us, 2010 finds a leg of the festival making its way to the shores of Lake Michigan September 9–11.
Chicago hosts, with Millenium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion and the Chicago Cultural Center providing the stage space. The festival features a stellar lineup of music and film including the likes of Oval, Nosaj Thing, Ben Frost and the Slew (feat. Kid Koala).
