  1. At LACMA, a playground for Machine Project

    A girl, tarred and feathered, and strangled by a bullwhip, was found in the corner of a quiet garden. Nearby, at the top of a two-story glass-brick facade, was a speed-metal guitarist pounding out Ted Nugent-like jams before a gothic archway -- complete with smoke machine and colored lights. Not far from that was a man covered from head to toe in a costume made entirely out of vintage black pepper canisters, which creaked and squealed as he moved.

    Associated Press Writer

  5. One fine day, Obama style

    So your in-laws are in town and they want nothing more than to see the sights. But not Sears Tower. Not the Art Institute of Chicago. No, they want Obama's Chicago. They want to see where the president-elect lives, where he organized community groups—oh, and where he wooed Michelle Robinson with ice cream.

  11. Chicago's Picasso sculpture

    Just after noon, Mayor Richard J. Daley pulled a cord attached to 1,200 square feet of blue-green fabric, unwrapping a gift "to the people of Chicago" from an artist who had never visited--and had shown no previous interest in--the city. The artist was Pablo Picasso, who at age 85 had dominated Western art for more than half a century. He had been approached by William E. Hartmann, senior partner of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, one of the architectural firms collaborating on Chicago's new Civic Center; Hartmann wanted a sculpture for the plaza bordered by Washington, Randolph, Dearborn and Clark Streets.
