There might be a bench to sit on, a table to play dominoes at, or an architectural essay to read. If you’re really lucky, a slice of pineapple upside-down cake or some spam-velveeta-pimiento sandwiches will be on offer.The mid-century Puerto Rican vibe of all that food and space is no accident. Soto, who has lived in Chicago since the late ’90s, was born in 1971 in San Juan and has for the past two decades been creating installations and events that draw on the culture of the place where she grew up and where her family still lives.By Lori Waxman via Hyperallergic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/ct-ptb-brauer-museum-suit-st-0621-20230620-3rrl2pxg3felxgywvtf6ew33zu-story.html?lctg=B477742924DED4EE756994B069&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fwww.chicagotribune.com%2fsuburbs%2fpost-tribune%2fct-ptb-brauer-museum-suit-st-0621-20230620-3rrl2pxg3felxgywvtf6ew33zu-story.html&amp;utm_campaign=Daywatch&amp;utm_content=curated">Indiana AG files for dismissal of lawsuit against Valpo U over artwork sale</a>Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is backing up Valparaiso University’s contention that a lawsuit to stop the sale of three of the Brauer Museum’s most valuable pieces of artwork to fund dorm renovations for first-year students should be dismissed because the plaintiffs who filed the suit don’t have standing to do so.In a Tuesday filing, Rokita reiterates the university’s claim that Richard Brauer, the museum’s founding director and for whom the museum is named, and Philipp Brockington, a retired law professor from the university and one of the museum’s benefactors, cannot file <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/ct-ptb-brauer-injunction-st-0422-20230421-3u43scmlhzgk7ky2fichrlgcei-story.html">the suit</a> because they are not directly connected to the charitable trust, the Percy Sloan Fund, that provided the museum the artwork with the stipulation that proceeds from any sale of the works be reinvested in the museum and its collection.Via Chicago Tribune&nbsp;<a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/anna-delvey-show-podcast-2323541">Anna Delvey’s New Hustle Is a Podcast of Frothy Conversations With Artists, Writers, and Fellow Fraudsters—and It Could Be Illegal</a>It’s said crime doesn’t pay, but Anna Delvey is giving it a really good go.

The protagonists are benevolent European and North American organisations, whose virtue is manifest in their return of colonial looted objects “for free”. The focus of Western media on this “decolonisation” has given rise to a growing set of photo opportunities, accompanied by lengthy interviews with Western curators, followed by a few words of gratitude from “representatives of Nigeria”.When the same media lens momentarily shifts to Nigeria, it does so only to find inadequacy. “Chaos” and “fiasco” are among the milder word choices. To these commentators, it seems fine for the West to take more than a hundred years to begin to act on restitution, but unforgivable that Nigeria does not resolve complex domestic and historical issues instantaneously.Via The Art Newspaper&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419214/c4evgspdtjqq08af0dfu.webp"><figcaption>WTTW News arts correspondent Angel Idowu creates a rug at Freestyle Ceramics and Tufting.

A classic summer neighborhood art fair, while the feeling is local, artists come from around the country to exhibit at the fair and are stationed in their booths throughout the weekend to discuss their work.&nbsp;According to the fair's website, the history of the 57th Street Art Fair goes back decades to the visionary Mary Louise Womer, a silversmith artist from Kansas City. Womer's studio, The Little Gallery, was a local hangout where artists in the community gathered to talk and drink tea. Wanting to create an event where local artists could showcase their work to the community, Womer established the first 57th Street Art Fair in 1948. Her studio lacked the space needed for the event, so she decided to take advantage of the local streets, stringing wires from trees and along fences of 57th Street where the artists could hang their works. Fifty-one artists, many of whom were students at the Art Institute and the Institute of Design, each paid 50 cents to participate for the weekend. Everything from paintings to ceramics to jewelry to glasswork was displayed! By the end of the weekend, earnings totaled $500, and on Sunday night Womer and her husband John cleaned up the display areas themselves.The first 57th Street Art Fair Committee, composed of 15 dedicated individuals and chaired by Womer was organized in 1950. Together, the committee generated a list of aims and policies, documenting the goals, intentions, and priorities for the fair. Still in use today, those policies validate the artistic pursuit itself, making sure artists reap complete monetary benefit of their sales. In keeping with Womer's rules, all works must be original art; no limited edition prints or any other reproductions can be sold.Today, a formal juried process guides the selection of up to 200 artists from all over North America who set up shop on 57th Street on the first full weekend of June. The fair now attracts over 20,000 visitors annually.<a href="https://www.57thstreetartfair.org">57thstreetartfair.org</a>&nbsp;Public&nbsp;transportation is highly recommended. <a href="https://www.57thstreetartfair.org/parking--directions">Click here for more information on parking and directions.</a>​Admission is free.57th Street Art Fair Hours: Saturday, June 3, 2023, 11:00 am - 6:00 pm Sunday, June 4, 2023, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm&nbsp;</body></html>

There is no separation.” In Polish, Ziemska means “of the earth.”The artist’s work was created from reclaimed and pruned tree branches and other natural materials gathered from various locations throughout the Arboretum’s 1,700 acres. “I am giving reclaimed natural materials a new life and transforming them from nature into new forms,” Ziemska said.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419184/xtqhsrfvrhkbj0mkdutq.png"></figure>Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop / Works From the Bank of America CollectionCleve Carney Museum of ArtJun 3–Sept 10, 2023<a href="https://www.theccma.org">theccma.org</a><a href="https://www.theccma.org/warhol">The Warhol Exhibition</a> includes 94 works from Andy Warhol Portfolios: A Life in Pop/Works from the Bank of America Collection on loan through Bank of America’s Art in our Communities program, and over 11,000 sq. ft. of interactive experiences including a Biographical exhibit, Video installation, 150+ photos taken by Warhol, Children’s Print Factory, Studio 54 experience and a Central Park-inspired outdoor space.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419185/umqqq2rymd07rzejnkfi.jpg"></figure>The Art of Elizabeth Catlett, From the Collection of Samella Lewis&nbsp;Krasl Art Center, St. Joseph, MIJun 10–Sept 3, 2023<a href="https://krasl.org">krasl.org</a>Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012) was an African American sculptor and printmaker best known for her bold depictions of the Black experience in the 1960s and 70s. The Art of Elizabeth Catlettpresents a selection of the artist’s work from the collection of her student, fellow artist, educator, and lifelong friend Samella Lewis. Sculpture, art prints, and protest banners by Catlett tell the story of her life: her early arts education in the US, her move to Mexico and membership in Taller Gráfica Popular, her continual involvement with the Civil Rights movement in both countries, and the flow of influence between her and her peers. Artworks by Samella Lewis as well as Catlett’s husband, Fancisco Mora, will also be on view.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419185/mdqtbaph5rwjo6asivww.png"></figure>Gary Simmons: Public EnemyMuseum of Contemporary Art&nbsp;Jun 13–Oct 1, 2023 &nbsp;<a href="http://www.mcachicago.org">mcachicago.org</a>Gary Simmons: Public Enemy is a comprehensive survey of the richly layered work of Gary Simmons (b. 1964, New York, NY). Among the most respected artists of his generation, Simmons has played a key role in situating questions of race, class, and gender identity at the center of contemporary art discourse since the late 1980s. He is notable for his early application of conceptual artistic strategies involving the critical deployment of pop-cultural imagery toward the aim of exposing and analyzing histories of racism inscribed in US visual culture. Over the course of his career, Simmons has revealed traces of these histories in the fields of sports, cinema, literature, music, architecture, and urbanism while drawing heavily on popular genres such as hip-hop, horror, and science fiction.This exhibition—the most in-depth presentation of Simmons’s work to date—covers thirty years of highly disciplined production, encompassing sculptures, paintings, works on paper, and installations, as well as a number of large-scale wall drawings the artist will create on- site. The selected works will offer audiences a timely opportunity to gain a holistic understanding of the complex and profoundly moving work of this groundbreaking and influential artist.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419186/whzjrllxwkxsbs99ejyq.jpg"></figure>Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to ModernismBegins Jun 22<a href="https://driehausmuseum.org">Driehaus Museum</a>Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism, an exhibition exploring the life and work of Hector Guimard (1867-1942), the French architect and designer whose name is synonymous with the French Art Nouveau movement.
