Chambanagraphers go to Chicago

Last Friday was a big night for openings in Chicago galleries, and a few of us went up to see what was showing. Turns out, I was a little underwhelmed. There was a lot of crap, some okay stuff, and only a few things I found particularly interesting. The Caleb Weintraub show at Peter Miller was really entertaining. I dislike a lot of painting, but this was good. BucketRider has a good how too, with Chris Uphues and Alexia Stamatiou. Also a painting show. I didn't see much photo, which disappoited me.

Here are a few pictures of the group I went with:
