This Week: Chicago Art Walk

Tired of Chicago photos yet?  Well after this week I need to catch up with some other photo sets going on around here, but don't worry, there will be many more from Chicago.  The Chicago Loop Alliance had these wonderful audio walking tours of downtown.  They had one for Millennium Park, one for Chicago landmarks and one for Chicago artwork.  You download the mp3s to your portable player and then walk around and get a short story of each of the stops on the tour.  I definitely recommend these for someone who wants to explore Chicago on their own.

This is Monument with Standing Beast by Jean DuBuffet.  It is one of three monumental sculptural commissions of DuBuffet's in the United States.  One of the other pieces happens to be in Houston.  It was unveiled in 1984.
