This year our show was held at the Douglas Ried Folgelson Gallery in Wicker Park. One of the obvious benefits of having the show in such a place was that when we were installing the show we had our choice of both Wicker Dog and Hi Ricky. Food from the best of both worlds. Greasy and heart burn inducing to healthy and Epicurean in the same block or two. The gallery space lent itself very well to our instalations. With one large room and a smaller darkened space we were riding our last miles down hill and with a tailwind. All of the large and performance pieces were placed in the middle with the rest of the wall and pillar space taken up smaller works of every kind. In the darkend area we had two pieces of multimedia playing. On a laptop we had the Autumnal Equinox Ambush QuickTime movie. On the mini-tower that Ed built for me we had an AVI file playing back pixel doubled utilizing hardware decompression playing through a data projector. Audio on the laptop was non existent because I was tired of hearing it. By the time you read this you should be able to see the Halloween 1998 video here.

Jim R. was kind enough to get invitations printed. Chris of Rapid Transit bike shop stepped up to help the cause to pay for printing of the invitation. As I type this it is almost a month and a half later and I learned that Chris is now closing the shop at 5:00pm on the last Friday of the month so everyone at the shop can ride with the mass. You can find this excellent shop at North Avenue and...well just do what I do, look for the pinwheel bike hanging in front of the shop.
