Chicago Painter Captures Beauty in Gritty Parts of the City

Marc Vitali: These are not the images of Chicago you’d see in a visitor’s guide. Still, the odd corners the paintings depict are as much a part of the city as Navy Pier or the Museum campus. Artist Andy Paczos pedals a bike that hauls his canvas and supplies. He heads to the same location he’s worked at for months – a corner of the Van Buren Street bridge near Wacker Drive. He sets up his easel. And gets to work on a highly detailed painting.    A painting of a fork in the Chicago river by Andy Paczos. (Photo by Dimitre Photography, Chicago)

South Side Weekly: Surveilling Dissent

At a press conference near the lake on the Friday before Memorial Day 2020, David Brown, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, announced the launch of the Summer Operations Center (SOC), a multiagency gun-violence prevention hub. Brown said the center had a singular mission: Reducing murders and shootings this summer. But internal documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request show that almost immediately after the SOC s creation, with the onset of citywide protests against racism and the police murder of George Floyd, the police department began using the violence-prevention center to monitor and share intelligence about political demonstrations. The police continued to use the SOC to surveil political organizing throughout the summer and fall even going so far as to quietly add protest monitoring to the center s stated mission.
