A strange and lucky number for an episode packed with the profound! This week, we dive deep into design, architecture, and the unique culture of Chicago. We kick things off with an interview featuring Sharon & Guy, the dynamic design collaborative whose thought-provoking artworks are included in The Spaces We Call Home, currently on view at the DePaul Art Museum. They're joined by Marin R. Sullivan, the curator of this important show, to discuss how their work reflects on identity, place, and home.
Next, we talk to Brandon Johnson, publisher of Almighty & Insane Books, about his exploration of Chicago's gangland ephemera, the hidden histories of modern architecture, tagging, visionary art, and why Chicago continues to inspire generations of creators. Brandon's work uncovers the city's gritty and delightfully creative underbelly, presenting it in a way that both honors and challenges conventional narratives.
Join us as we unpack all things Chicago: from its built environment to its street art, this conversation covers it all, with plenty of love for the city that shapes so much of our work.
