Maybe it was the reverberations of snazzy jazz while sitting in the chair from the fifties, perusing his semiotic steel-like work on the wall, our conversations about gossip, or because of a full Expo week of hearing who was here, who was there, what they said here, what they said there.

Also a recent, but leather included

I got the left yellow leather in CDMX (at a small shop, and stuffed into my backpack for the plane ride), the middle printed leather in Chicago (from Tannery Row of course), and the orange from Indy (that’s been around for 150 years (or so they say).

Thanks!!

Listen to my podcast episode, where I discuss the curation process, here on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6dzn...

Artists featured are Juliette Morris, Spencer Gale, Jordan Miller, Catie Burrill, Lucia Calderon Arrieta, and Sarah Whyte. Included their main gallery space and their new storefront for the neon works.

Me too!. It’s not a hide but parchment, cut like one., pinned into a velvet like surface. Alan Glass is the artist. DM me! I was going to dig deeper into the work I saw today / tomorrow.

A few more from Maia Contemporary as well, and some street art:

First image (fountain sculpture) was in a gallery below a rooftop queer bar — Revuelta. Otherwise, the images are from the Palacio de Bellas Artes
