Christmas Tree Ornaments --- Need local artist in the 4th District
I know this is really short notice....
But you get the Christmas Tree Ornaments this week....then sent it back to DC October 1st..
Let me now what you think... e-mail me or call 773/342-0774
As a reminder - Mrs. Bush invited each Member of Congress to submit a name of an artist from his state/district/territory to decorate an ornament that will be displayed on the main White House Christmas tree – the Blue Room tree. Thus far, we have not received an artist’s name from your Member, but because Mrs. Bush and her office want full congressional participation, we have extended the deadline until next Wednesday, August 27, 2008 for submissions.
A few quick details
· Your Member selects an artist to design an ornament that will displayed this holiday season on the Blue Room Christmas tree at the White House
· Your office faxes the name and contact information of the artist to 202-456-3210 NO LATER than Wednesday, August 27, 2008
· Upon receipt of the fax, the artist will receive his ornament (a six-inch round plastic ball that can be decorated in any medium by any method with any design as long as the size of the ornament does not increase tremendously or the images are inappropriate) to decorate.
· The artist must mail the ornament back by October 1, 2008
· Artists who participate and return their ornaments will be invited to the White House during the holiday season to view their design on the Blue Room tree.
Thanks!

“PORTRAITS OF AN IDOL”
When I painted for you before, I tried to tell you about the eminent end of the world. You never listened. It was too hard for you to comprehend. So I met with my backers and they forced me to reconsider my angle of inclination to act and actions. Now I present to you,
“PORTRAITS OF AN IDOL”
Forget about the end, let’s talk about now. Now is the time to remember the way to be for a better present day. Yes, be like Oprah, Obama, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or even the Shroud of Turin, if you can - just a little. If you must, just a bit. I urge you, I employ you, I command you to be nice.Posted by AnagaM at 11:18 PM 0 comments

Slawek Murawski - Sculptor
In my subconsciousness I expect acceptance of my creativity and contact with other people on the basis of artistic performance. My works of sculpture give me the courage in the struggle with the vanquishing of material reality. Link

Hiromi Tanaka - Studio 227
"Having always enjoyed observing nature and the world around me, my painting provides me an optimum method for recording such impressions. My work focuses primarily on the beautiful combinations of colors and forms that I am exposed to every day. I begin each painting with simple iconography that I build upon layer by layer. It is this layering which allows my simple statements to be presented with balance and subtlety."

JAIK WILLIS - Gallery
He's a musician, he plays this style of music with a social consciousness that is enhanced by a fast paced rhythm and his voice that has been described as "a most unique soaring falsetto ". He's beard is loooong and a wild red and his socks never match. Jaik willis is also a prolific visual artist that creates the poster artwork for his gigs that he plays at, which are many and all across the country.
His page in MySpace
He has a most unique soaring falsetto and a wild eyes rolled in the back of his head fierce guitar style. He writes original songs, including a fantastic song about Freedom (the gas station). Jaik's sound is somewhere between Anti-Folk and The Band and it is unlike anything I've heard from anyone else. His energy is fierce, his vocal range is inhuman, his beard is long. You've gotta check this guy out.

In vitro Gallery Presents: Matt Gonzalez
Green Party Vice Presidential candidate Matt Gonzalez
joins In vitro Gallery in Chicago, IL where he exhibits his Collages.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
William Hunter, owner of In vitro Gallery, is pleased to announce that California-based artist Matt Gonzalez has joined his stable of artists and will be represented exclusively by the gallery in the Chicago area. Gonzalez produces collages primarily from found pieces of paper and arranges them to present personal narratives that evoke nostalgia and often trigger embedded memories and associations. His work has earned comparisons to the canonical work of Kurt Schwitters, Robert Motherwell, as well as many Beat era collage artists. Writing in the July 2007 issue of ART LTD / WEST COAST ART & DESIGNMark Van Proyen noted that Gonzalez's works "are earmarked by their elegance and restraint, as well as their focused attention to the aesthetic subtleties of color and shape relationship."
Mr. Gonzalez has previously exhibited at LINCart, Adobe Books Backroom Gallery, Soap, and Johannson Projects --- all well-known avant-garde venues in the San Francisco Bay Area. He also has taught Art & Politics at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Active in politics, Mr. Gonzalez is currently Ralph Nader's vice-presidential running mate on an Independent ticket. He is a former San Francisco Supervisor and ran for mayor in the city in 2003, and is well known for his progressive views.
A Solo Show at In vitro Gallery is planned for October 2008, with a scheduled opening on October 3rd.
More details on Gonzalez's show will follow.

New date for Train Show: August 30th
News from Art on Track:
The CTA has moved the date up a week, to august 30th. This means the deadlines for coming up with a theme for the car are even more important.
Art on Track is an innovative step towards progressing the arts in Chicago by providing young artists with a means to exhibit their work. The project will take the form of a gallery show on a CTA train. The train will be specially arranged to allow room for a massive installation of artwork and atmosphere. The train will circle around the loop allowing patrons to get on and off conveniently at designated stations.
You can visit the website here for more information.

Ivan is leaving the building
Ivan Garcia from Studio 307 leaves the building
Tonite is his last night at the flat iron building, he's moving with Q4. Q4 is an independently owned and run multi-use art space.
Quennect4 Gallery
Neighborhood: Humboldt Park
2716 W. North Ave.
Chicago, IL 60647
In the last months there have been some changes in the building. A new wing was opened where the "Chicago Theater Company" used to be, adding 5 new studios in that area, some of them are of considerable size. I'm still waiting to meet the new artists from that side.
Byron Gin from Studio 323 left a few months ago and Kevin Lahvic is moving to the second floor, I guess it'll leave a few studios open for rent.
