CHICAGO The remarkable works of post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh are dazzling art lovers in a whole new way in the Windy City. The Immersive Van Gogh Exhibition at Lighthouse ArtSpace transformed over 60 of the painter s pieces into a rolling, swirling, state-of-the art, walk-through experience. The exhibit sits in the apex of filmmaking, musical performance, visual art, and even dance because it has so much movement, said Irina Shabshish, exhibition co-producer.
The show licensed over 400 hundred high resolution images of Van Gogh s works that were disassembled and animated by designers. The scenes are displayed onto walls and on floors in large rooms and accompanied by classical music. Spectators are encouraged to stand in circles of safety projected on the floors in the space and are also required to wear masks during the exhibition.
CHICAGO When snow blankets the landscape during harsh winter months, Eduardo Vea Keating sees a silver lining. You have to see the bright side, said Keating, a creative director in advertising and resident of Chicago s Logan Square neighborhood. It s a beautiful time of the year.
Keating has gained notoriety in recent years for unique murals created entirely from snow. Calling them snow graffiti, his artwork on brick walls around the Windy City range from geometric patterns to short words and more recently, totems. I think they re kind of my personal gods of snow, praying for more snow to come down, he said.
A man was arguing with a group of people in the first block of East Wacker Drive when another male approached him and stabbed him several times, Chicago police said.
It s a vintage store that promotes sustainability and helps charity.
Capucine was created by Kate Reavey, owner of Chicago Vintage weddings. Reavey found herself with more time on her hands during the pandemic and decided to open a store in Bucktown.
The store sells vintage and antique pieces from across the Midwest. Reavey says she wants to promote sustainability. All packaging, except ribbon, is made from recycled or compostable material.
Each season the store donated 5% of its profits to charity. The winter nonprofit is One Tail At A Time Rescue. Capucine is pet-friendly.
The store is located at 1804 N. Damen Ave.
