The Chicago show at Navy Pier has included more and more photography over the
past few years.... though I am afraid that there were a lot of those
humongous color prints that for me had not interesting content.... There was
a great little gallery from New York that showed a lot of black and white
photography from this past century.
It is a huge show also... great fun to see such a variety of works.... some
wonderful... some leave me shaking my head.... some you sort of felt sorry
for the gallery people sitting there with an embarrassed look....

mixed media, scribble, pastiche, oddball stretch of materials, etc. The
photography (of which there was a lot) tended to be humongous color prints
ala Thomas Struth, every blade of grass in the forest life size. Or people
standing or sitting or squatting around being naked and staring at camera
life size. Neither of which genres speak to me. >>
