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.

The Experimental Station at 6100 Blackstone Avenue has a knack for reinvention. From the very beginning, the Station has been marked by its ability to rise from the ashes. Artist Dan Peterman set up a studio there in 1987, in what was then a recycling center, and then purchased the building in 1994. He cleared out the mass of random recycling detritus, making space for artists and local businesses, including his own Blackstone Bicycle Works, an organization that has brought bikes and bike-repair skills to many University of Chicago students and Hyde Park and Woodlawn residents over the years.
But on April 25, 2001, a fire devastated the building, leaving only the brick exterior standing. Connie Spreen, Peterson’s wife and the station’s co-founder, recalls how on the day of the fire, a young boy stood looking at the wreckage. He said to her, “Connie, I’m sure glad that you and Dan aren’t the kind of people who pack up and leave.”
Before he spoke, Connie thought she was that kind of person.
She changed her mind and replied, “I’m glad I’m not.” And the couple began to clean up. Out of the smoking heap, Dan and Connie rebuilt their organization and renamed it the Experimental Station. (Read more by clicking link).
The artist may have intended something different with this image, but this precisely embodies what summer means — and feels like — to me.

My interview with artist Kori Newkirk, on Bad at Sports. Intro:
Tonight, Tuesday March 8th at 6pm, SAIC alum Kori Newkirk is lecturing as part of the Visiting Artist Program. I first met Kori in Los Angeles when he was included in an exhibition of emerging Los Angeles artists that I co-curated at the Hammer Museum. Since then, he’s gone on to exhibit his art internationally, and was the subject of 10 year survey curated by Thelma Golden at The Studio Museum in Harlem in late 2007. Kori continues to live and work in Los Angeles. In thinking about the questions I wanted to ask him, I found myself most interested in finding out how Kori’s practice has developed “post-emergence.” Kori has always been fearless about charting new directions in his work, and I was curious to learn more about his experience of that category-defying space between “emerging” and “midcareer.” (Read full interview).
