Remember this image from a past blog entry? It was taken from a Museum of Contemporary Art postcard advertising a David Bowie retrospective (2014). The show was absolutely incredible and I still talk about it today. Since his death, I’ve looked to my city to share in an on-going celebration of his music and art.
The Man Who Fell To Earth, 1976. Original stills taken by David James,
First stop, The Empty Bottle with like minded friends for the Bowie Movie Brunch.
Jim Henson’s 1986 Labyrinth
I’m always grateful for gatherings like these were communities gather to celebrate those who create art and essentially contribute to… -an affirmation of life-John Cage.
Of course while I was there I couldn’t help notice artistic expression, EVERYWHERE! Like this display of past music events (sadly the artists weren’t noted)…
Come one come all!
In closing, I’m not really sure if this entry is finished. I’m still on that Bowie path in and around our Chicago neighborhoods. Still, and as always, Betty and I want to encourage you to get out there, look for art and artistic expression EVERYWHERE and please, SHOW ME WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!!! (even when it’s really cold!)
Betty’s response: Hell yeah!
