The Goreteños Invade Chicago art show is up now at the Metal Shaker, and will stay that way until Jan. 19. Some of the pieces may be taken down on nights when Ronato, the guy who books bands at the bar and who helped us arrange the show, isn’t there. Ronato doesn’t trust some of the bartenders who work at the Metal Shaker because he had a wicked Halloween poster hung up on the wall and someone stole it, presumably with the help (or at least ignorant inattentiveness) of the bar’s employees. We nailed to the wall all the pieces that are in wooden frames, so those will be up for the duration, as will the ones that are behind the bar, but the others may be taken down on nights when there aren’t shows. I just got back to Chicago from a trip out West for the holidays (stay tuned for details about my infiltration of a Scientologist storage facility construction site), so I haven’t checked in on the show since its opening, which took place on Dec. 19 (photos below). I got a new camera for xmas and plan to post some better pictures of the art soon.
