Well, I have to say I was a bit blown away by the “Indigenous Chicago” exhibit at the Newberry. The event itself was beautiful and a little overwhelming - but to see what they put together, the scope of it, chilling history (the original treaty for the land that became ‘Chicago’) and such - and my little book mixed in with it all like it belonged in there with all that history… it truly humbled me.
The exhibit is up until January, so if you’re able to get there it’s well worth it. They have copies of PAPER CUTS in the library bookstore, or you can go to my big cartel shop (link above) if you’re interested in a signed copy from me. As far as I know, those are the only 2 places you can get them right now… if you’re interested.
On October 10th I’ll be joining the other two artists, Camille Billie and Jason Wesaw, for a discussion on the exhibit at the Newberry itself, if you’d like to attend. I think it’s at 7.
Currently reading “The Angel Of Indian Lake” by the great and twisted Stephen Graham Jones and it’s break-neck. Just saw “The Substance” and I recommend it to anyone with a taste for the weird, haha. I loved it. Listening to Link Wray on a gifted LP and very much digging it. Thanks for that, Ted.
Hope you’re well.
