excerpt from the Mountain Xpress article by Ursula Gullow

Thompson will operate the gallery for six months—a span of time she considers a "manageable commitment." The diminutive space, approximately 8 feet by 25 feet, will showcase contemporary conceptual artwork in the form of installations, two-dimensional work, video and sculpture. Four solo shows are planned for the first half of 2010, and a small room in the back of the gallery will exhibit art objects for sale by a variety of artists, both local and national.

For this weekend's grand opening, Thompson has put together an exhibit that showcases a broad range of conceptual art entitled Because I said so. The show includes a video by Thompson, along with work by local artists Andy Herod and Mavis Clapp, as well as Ohio artist D.D. Sargent. (Sargent recently broke a world record after building a 250-feet-long picnic table.) The show gets its title from a quote by Bruce Nauman who once said of his own work, "People ask me how this is art, and it's art because I said so." ]]> Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 http://www.themap.org/meganmckissack&area=blog&item=98 A solo exhibition by Lisa Nance

Saxophonist Dave Rempis and drummer Frank Rosaly have performed and recorded together in countless projects since Rosaly arrived on the Chicago scene in 2001, including The Rempis Percussion Quartet, The Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten Quintet, The Outskirts, and The Thread Quintet. Both musicians have established themselves as prominent players in the active milieu of the Chicago jazz scene, and spend as much time on the road in North America and Europe as they do at home. Their duo, active since 2004, focuses on the wide-ranging possibilities inherent to free-improvisation. And while both musicians are comfortable in the more abstract sonic spaces pioneered by European improvisers, neither one shies away from hard-hitting grooves, nor are they afraid of melodies or swing. Having allowed this relationship to develop gradually over the years, they decided to record their first duo release for 482 music, a label with which each musician has a significant history.]]> Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00
