The MCA should respond by installing a Wesley Willis drawing of Comiskey Park
In what will likely be a major draw for the museum, the Art Institute of Chicago on Tuesday installed its first-ever Norman Rockwell painting, and it depicts the Chicago Cubs.

incredible sequence in michael hui's the contract (1978) in which he's hosting some kind of deal or no deal game that involves an escalating series of trade offs including gassing this woman's dog and cutting off her husband's oxygen supply for the chance to win the lease of an arabian oil field
