Review: “Creative Chicago: An Interview Marathon”
Chicago’s talkiest season begins with a long, long chat at art expo.
On Saturday afternoon, at the far end of Navy Pier, in a ballroom overlooking Lake Michigan, Hans Ulrich Obrist talked, and listened, then talked, and listened some more. He talked to 20 Chicago artists, poets, architects, essayists, MacArthur geniuses, sociologists. He did this for more than five hours, one person after another, sometimes pairing up artists and talking to two at once. He did not faint or take a bathroom break or sneak a granola bar as they spoke. He grew tired, his voice sounded hoarse, but the man never cracked.
