Chris -
there are a couple more art-related evens going on right now too, in case you or anyone else is interested. i often shy away from Bucktown because of the craft mall feel, but there are actually a couple fine art gallery spaces inside, and one of them is hosting a somewhat unique show this month that features a group of seven artists and musicians. included in the roster is a collaborative effort between myself and two other local artists, where we stepped far outside of our normal modus operandi and made these ridiculous nonsense art- and music-making machines. there's a youtube video of one of the pieces (before the entire installation was actually finished) here:
The Dutch (wind-blown painting dipper)
aside from that, another artist made a machine that is being dubbed a "water xylophone," someone made an interactive noise-making teeter-totter (powered by a user-activated garage door opener), and there are other interactive drawing machines and music machines. the show's up now, and the reception is the night of September 26th.
i should stop piggybacking your post; i'll send the other upcoming exhibit's info when that show is actually up.
Pin qci's tail on the wall. Go Cyclones.
