So Ms. native chicagoan (aka Ms. beanhead) and I, have gone to east Pilsen this past Friday. We saw some art in galleries, and visted the studios of the stain glass artist, Robert P Marshall III, and two other artists, the painter with the cute little girl ( i do not know his name but will find out next time), and the sculptor, Bryan Sperry. All three have their studios on the 5th floor of 1932 S.Hasted, above 4Art,Inc. gallery.
I wrote about Marshall and Perry in January and Ms. f will contribute more later on this week. This month, Marshall has created a sound stained glass box, something that works like a synthesizer, I do not fully understand its operation, but it's worth checking it out. Next month at the end of the night (10pm) they will bowl in their large hall and anyone intersted is welcome to join them.
Although, ms. f has hurt her back, she was great at not caving in to the pain and we saw some interesting work,and had some great food (tres leches cake, lots of cheese and crackers). We did call it a night around 8pm, and walked to chinatown red line, as the bus was taking its glorious time to get there. I do feel bad for making her walk in pain, and as we did not see any cabs, and waited for the bus 30 min, we had no real choice. (well there was one cab but we did not catch it on time). Overall, the nigth was fun,and we will be back there next month.
