one of the best house museums I’ve ever been to is nestled right into Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. on an unassuming stretch of Halsted is a little house packed to the gills with artwork, objects, and oddities belonging to the Chicago Imagist Roger Brown (1941-1997). it’s kind of hard to describe, but every nook and cranny is filled with interesting ”stuff” and you’re invited to peruse the space in a really unconventional way (open the medicine cabinets, sit in his old Mustang in the garage).
the space has been temporarily closed for a few years but I’m holding out hope they reopen it for good! and if you’re a student at SAIC, supposedly you have access to the collection for research and art activations (aka performance).

Even if you end up having to go somewhere else, there still will be culture to get involved in, people to meet, things to learn, realizations to be made. All of that is still right there for you and it will be open in a way you won't even realize until you've done like a year or two. So it's truly still exciting times. As long as you feel generally good about the place you ultimately choose, your time is coming.

Completely missed this performance, just harpsichord and Bjork alone transforming a club song is crazy.
