Apology

I'm sorry that this site is silent. I've seen some amazing and not so amazing work in the last two weeks since deciding I was going to comment on peoples' shows.

The only show that has blown me away so far is Kumiko Murakami's work at the Contemporary Art Workshop.

The only show that I would recommend everyone avoid is whatever the hell they're calling a show at Wag gallery (? store?) on Division. This isn't even a show. Its like pier one without the candles. Wait. Maybe there were candles? If you like pictures of talking dogs, though. Here you are.

And since I know the three people who are reading this. I'll be back. Should be online at home within the next week or so. That has been a major stopping point for me getting this going...

Welcome to Chicago Art Review

Coming soon. In response to the relatively small amount of information available on the Chicago art scene not covered by the blurbs in the Chicago Reader, Newcity, and other publications, I'm going to attempt to put together something, while subjective, a little bit more informative and critical.

The attempt of this site is not to advertise or promote for any organizations or galleries, nor is it in any way affiliated with any business interest other than an attempt to provide something that is sorely lacking.

Initially it will be just me, Matt Tetzloff, writing. Hopefully, over time, I will enlist a couple of other local artists and gallery participants to take part.
