Thursday night Emily and I bravely dressed up and headed to a VIP skyline lounge party for the kickoff of Artchicago. It turned out to be less food-ridden and more bar-like crowded, but we did get to feel super special going in. I mean, the guy by the elevators had to input his keycard before he could press the top floor button. And at the top, we were all, "we've got a blackpass" and they were all "go on in". We didn't have to show it, cuz we're connected.
Then today (Friday) the normal Artchicago/Next/Antiques fair all opened at Merchandise Mart, which the school sent out tickets to which made us feel considerably less VIP than before, especially when we arrived and realized they were pretty much just letting anyone in for free. It was still pretty awesome and overwhelming, though. I'm sure we got lost at least 4 times.
As if that wasn't enough, the MFA show opened also, so right after Artchicago closed we bopped back over to the Sullivan galleries for the cheese spread and (less) cool art.
And if that wasn't enough, crit week starts and I have more projects to finish than I know how to deal with.
