Honored to be an @artswriters grantee this year and to be in such stellar company. Huge thanks to the Warhol Foundation for buoying arts writers at a moment when that support is desperately needed.

“You could almost say his [Roger Brown's] work was iconic Chicago, because he portrayed Chicago so often in his paintings, so lovingly but also with a bit of bile,” said Chicago artist Richard Hull, who was a good friend. “He’s incredibly important.”

As a new exhibition opens in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, some in the art world ponder whether the School of the Art Institute let slip a key piece of the city’s cultural history.

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick, a largely self-taught artist and force of nature in Chicago. He conjured a world of sinister kitsch from comic books, holy cards, tattoos, vintage matchbooks, midcentury ads, and other bits of lowdown debris. The city is a little less Technicolor without him

Four unrealized buildings by architect Bruce Goff: a bank in Missouri (1970), an apartment building in Oklahoma (1957), a casino in Las Vegas (1961), and a movie theater in Oklahoma (1957).

Rachel Freundt has a fascinating piece on her Substack - with a lot of great photos - of the past and future of the Roger Brown Home and Studio. https://t.co/huuQDripcN

A good piece about the greatest Midwest fantasia. Young understood that the Midwest is America's id. For all its supposed dullness, it's where the real weirdos stay. She described the region as oceanic: "There are no boundaries I know of."
For the NYRB, I wrote about Miss MacIntosh, My Darling, a once-neglected modernist monolith and the 20th century's top opium fever dream. My thoughts on what makes it both fascinating and frustrating, as well as the phenomenon of the Great Big Novel. https://t.co/nHplu6lKKz

My fav unbuilt skyscraper of all time, the oh-so-nearly-happened Dearborn Tower in Chicago by Peter Ellis of SOM, with its layered facade that would have glittered like a waterfall on normal days and exploded in a bonfire of reflected light when the sun was low on clear days

Roger Brown, LIBERTY INVITING ARTISTS TO TAKE PART IN AN EXHIBITION AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LEFTIST TERRORISM (1983). A riff on Henri Rousseau's c.1905 painting, retooled into a Cold War satire in which art is enlisted as propaganda and "liberty" is invoked to stifle dissent.

For the @PoetryFound, I wrote about the Chinese poet Zheng Xiaoqiong’s incredible collection In the Roar of the Machine, translated by Eleanor Goodman and published by @NYRB_Imprints, and the work of Chinese migrant worker poets.
