Robert Rainey, my Richmond friend now living in Albuquerque, is showing at the Chicago Cultural Center through August 6th. An exhibition of about thirty of Nick Cave's Soundsuits is showing concurrently, through July 9th. Nick Cave showed at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond a few years ago and those suits are amazing.
Robert was my Art Basel Miami best friend. He partied very very late every night. It was tough to get him going in the morning.

This is one show I will be upset to miss. Robert's work always surprises, especially in a clean space. The Center of which you wrote about has been home to another extremely interesting artist Carianacarianne, a split personality artist who mainly responds with "we." She is now showing in a big museum in the Netherlands so this might be a great jumping off point for Robert.
Normally political work removes the personal, but Robert's relies on the personal to add voice to issues. I give him two years before a two page spread in Art Forum.
