What is ART CHICAGO? Its an art fair. And what is an art

fair? I know a few things about them, none of them

definitive. First, that it doesnt have any purpose but selling

art. Second, that the art being sold has not been appraised

by critics and curators, but by the market. This Midwest art

fair, perhaps the biggest and bestest as advertised, wants to

be more. Art Chicago wants to be everything. It wants the

allure of the cutting edge and the old guard both. It wants to

be a gallery, a museum, a conference, an exposition, an

arcade.

Growing up in Greenwhich Village, NYC, there was a yearly

art fair in Washington Square Parkthat always drew a

measure of disdain by dint of its folksy presentation. Now

celebrating its 81st year, this fair was crafty, with an emphasis

on drawing and painting, hand-made items, jewelery. At a

time when the avant-garde was energetically defining itself,

the art fair seemed genteel, a thing for ladies rather than the

fierce gents who were busy impaling themselves for truth.

Back to National change

I never wanted to be a lady. I understood the choice:

you were either a crafts person or an artist, a lover of

watercolors or a follower of grit and melancholy. You were, in

other words, either cute or you were real.

On the vast floors of the chic international world of art-fairing

represented by Art Chicago, the easy oppositional terms that

had been established for me as definitive in the 1970s were

upended. In the high-end commercial milieu, cute was

expensive and items from the heroic avant-garde of the

1970s, when they appeared, had a price-tag that reflected

their value as something like antiques.

Held on the sprawling floors of a new, green building called

the Merchandise Mart, this was no hippy dippy crafty

experience, but a high-art festival of precious objects from

leading galleries across the world.

On the other hand, the absence of a curatorial eye was

obvious. Though the sheer volume of art seemed at first to

compensate, this lack of guiding vision made the experience

seem fruitless, in a way. If a curators role is to make art

using the art of others in other words, making an intelligent

selection of artworks to hang and display - here was art

without theme or interpretation. The works at the art fair

were hung without more explanation than the artists name

and the title of the work. The price? As in any gallery: you

had to ask.

Randomly, I chose one gallerist in one vending cubicle to ask:

Evan Lurie, who turned out to have owned a gallery a block

across the street from my first apartment in the East Village in

New York City in the 1980s. Now he was running a gallery in

the burgeoning Indianapolis art scene (who knew?), selling

works by Alexander Calder and Joseph Cornell and others,many of them Latin American. The lowest price-tag, he

obligingly revealed, was in the thousands.

In another booth, the black-clad Swiss artist Marck was sitting

chatting amongst his creations. How cool, these plasma-

screened boxes of light, one felt, wondering a little about the

fact that they all showed entrapped women. There was a

woman, naked, in water, looking up blankly. A woman,

naked, on her knees, semi-visible in a glass box. A woman

rising and falling like a trapped doll inside a pachinko game.

Plus a change, I thought -- but the technology was

remarkable.

Later, I attended a panel on Edgy Art in a nook set off

slightly from the flow of the crowd. Edgy art: a euphemism for

the avant-garde. The panel turned out to be a kind of

farewell to the edgy that has been happening in the past

decade or more, in various forms.

The talks were loosely focused on the National Portrait

Gallerys recent removal of a video by David Wojnarowicz

from one of their exhibitions. The video by this 80s artistcontained an image of ants crawling on a crucifix. Offensive

to the Catholic League, it was upheld by two of the speakers

as the work of a complicated artist who was grappling with his

religious upbringing in the age of AIDS. The speakers, of

different generations, spoke from the perspectives of their

peers.

The talks started with Patricia Hills, who, at around 70 years

of age, has been professor of art history at Boston University

for many years. She is also, notably, a white woman who

specializes in African-American topics in art history. Hills had

the familiar look and feel of her professorial generation: not

hippy dippybut hippy casual. She had longish bright-white

hair and a tone of genteel indignation that could be heard

above the rising din of the browsing crowds only with the help

of a microphone. Her contribution to the topic was a list of

censorship events in history, starting with the arrest of three

artists at Judson Church, New York in 1969, for illegal uses of

the American flag.

Barry Blinderman, a curator and teacher at Illinois State

University, Normal, spoke next about Wojnarowicz, whom he

had also known personally. They called me a promoter of

degenerate art, he said proudly, referring to a memo about

Wojnarowicz that went to members of congress in the late80s and contributed to the climate of culture wars and the

ensuing backlash against public arts funding. In his early-to-

mid fifties, Blinderman was also a familiar generational type.

He was goofy-smart. Bald, gay, plastic glasses. If Hills

sounded an older note of indignation against the System (with

corporate evil at its front), Blindermans note of outrage came

straight from that moment in the late 80s when public funding

suffered its most terrifying squeeze. He showed the

Wojnarowicz film that had been cut and listed the triggers,

as he put it, for censorship in recent history: religious or

patriotic or sexual triggers. His use of the word trigger

pointed to his outlook. Censorship as addiction.

Finally, a graduate student in her 20s, Lauren Rosati, who

was there representing Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingbermanof

Exit Art, the large, unfussy NYC gallery of total edginess

founded in 1982. Rosati gave a powerpoint in which she

argued against censorship and for discussion. Unlike the

others, she spoke explicitly as a member of her generation, to

her generation. Young artists, she said, have a mandate to

represent their times. She said it firmly and, as is the fate of

the young, without apparent knowledge that it had already

been said before, so many times, to so many new batches of

young. The nice thing was that, to her, being avant-garde

was not a moral imperative in the same way as it was for the

others. The indignation of the others was infused with

nostalgia for older oppositions -- between the progressive and

the normative -- and familiar battlefields. For Rosati, who was

learning about these fields as the content of a graduate

education, the imperative was simpler: be fearless.
