A thoughtful examination of visual art, in and around the city. Sunday, February 24, 2013. The Chicago Problem: An Open Letter in Response to Pedro Velez. The title of your Newcity article "Friends Curating Friends" contains the kernel of your most recent complaint.[1]. Having written that, rather than contest your action I'd like to turn your mirror just enough to allow you to reflect upon yourself and the profession that you practice.[3]. Blame certain parties regularly? Were I to stop here I think tha...

Chicago Critical: Editorial: Winter Experiment @ Monique Meloche & Discussion in Chicago
http://paulgermanos.blogspot.com/2011/03/editorial-winter-experiment-monique.html
A thoughtful examination of visual art, in and around the city. Monday, March 21, 2011. Editorial: Winter Experiment @ Monique Meloche and Discussion in Chicago. Ebony G. Patterson in the Winter Experiment. Dan Gunn in the Winter Experiment. If so, is it telling of the writer(s), the engagement, or the material on display? In fact, the boundaries of the "Winter Experiment" were not fixed but rather they expanded and contracted according to the number and activity of all participants- continuing, perhaps,...

A thoughtful examination of visual art, in and around the city. Thursday, October 13, 2011. Preview: Scott Stack @ Monique Meloche. Stack queried, then pronounced: "That's color."

Above: Scott Stack outside his Oak Park studio, October 9, 2011. Above: Stack's studio doors swung open. It's interesting to see th...

http://paulgermanos.blogspot.com/2011/02/review-anne-wilson-judy-ledgerwood.html
A thoughtful examination of visual art, in and around the city. Saturday, February 5, 2011. Review: Anne Wilson and Judy Ledgerwood @ Rhona Hoffman. Above: Rhona Hoffman's clear, glass curtain wall, and Peoria St. entrance. Above: Judy Ledgerwood, "Chromatic Patterns for Chicago," 2011, detail. That said, the defining experience of the exhibition is not to be found in that one space only, but rather in the dramatic movement from that starting point, upward, in an ascent into twilight. Ledgerwood too, for...
