On the bus on the way to work, I read the first half of a quarterly art publication called Coterie. So far it seems pretty strong. I am impressed with its bravery in terms of unabashed intellectualism, but unfortunately, I'm also just a bit turned off by it. It, at times, seems a bit dry, devoid of emotion or, especially, awe. While the authors can at times be lauding an artist, there still seems to lack a certain emotional attachment, which for me, seems to undercut any rational argument in the first place. At any rate, I'll finish reading the paper and definitely pick up further installments. More than anything, I'm proud of Chicago for producing something so serious and wonderful and I hope it enhances the Chicago arts scene (and not, God forbid, do the opposite).
