A Chicago (ish) art tumblr by me, Claudine Ise. I’m an art writer who contributes to publications such as the Chicago Tribune, artforum.com, and other stuff. This is a visual notebook of the articles, images, videos and other gunk that’s clogging my brain at the moment….some of it fodder for the larger stuff I am, have been, or will be thinking and writing about.
