Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Chicago
Public Works Speaker Night #1 will feature Scott Thomas (Post Family / Obama), Stephen Gossett (Flavorpill Chicago) and DJ Pete Dougherty (Hey Champ) at the Andrew Rafacz Gallery.
The Public Works speaker series seeks to create a real, live knowledge base for making a life in the independent arts. We're bringing in internationally recognized artists and creative entrepreneurs to speak to what we know to be true: "Art makes work; work makes art."
The speakers will discuss the creation and continued success of their endeavor, introduce their work, and share stories relating to the work and their processes. Each speaker presents for 45 minutes followed by a question and answer period. The night is meant to educate and inspire, and to answer the basic questions "What do you do?", "How do you manage to do this?", and "What does this bring to the community at large?"
Friday August 13 at the Andrew Rafacz Gallery
835 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago, IL 60607

Prairieside Forks on 20X200
Ross Racine draws these amazing aerial-looking-photos without any photographs or scanned materials which is pretty perplexing. Would love to see "photos" of his process.
Some of his work is being featured on the Art for Everyone site, 20x200

J Tillman - Singing Ax
J. Tillman's new album Singing Ax, which was recorded in just a 3-day span somewhere in Chicago, is speaking directly to my soul.
He'll be performing at the Empty Bottle in Chicago on August 5th.
Check out Three Sisters (mp3) that Western Vinyl is distributing as the album preview.

Open til August 14 in SF
A new friend recommended I check out Victor Reyes solo show at the Robert Berman Gallery. So after a night of printing at the Levi's Workshop I rode my bike over only to be surprised by Reyes hanging out. So after a nice personal tour of his work he snapped this photo.
Check out it out by picking up his beautiful monograph of the show.

Archinect features...
"For me, architecture is not only a practice, it is not only building buildings, doing projects, it is also inventing a world, opening new fields, discovering new spatial qualities, writing a theory."

Apple Launches iPad $499
Apple releases the iPad. I'm disappointed there is not a B&W Kindle-like experience for reading. I think this book reader is going to make us all blind. The interface is clunky for apps going from small to big.
I'm curious what people are thinking about the release. Add your thoughts to the comments.
