INTERVIEW: Jaimie Warren
It’s a rare thing to be able to tread the line between popular and conceptual art period, much less with the kind of ease and playfulness the fabulous Ms. Jaimie Warren embodies. She’s vivacious and impulsive without being intimidating or oppressively hip. She’s got an openness about her that comes with the territory: born, raised, and schooled in the Midwest, away from the trappings of coastal art worldliness, and close to friends, family, and fans who lap her up like puppies to a puddle.
EVENT: Masquerade, A Retrospective
On Friday, February 5th, DOVA gallery at the University of Chicago will be hosting a retrospective of the photography of Emma Bee Bernstein (1985 – 2008). Although we were in the same graduating class at the University of Chicago and frequently crossed social, curricular, and extracurricular paths, we weren’t really friends so much as acquaintances until after graduation. I barely knew her, but I knew of her, and what I did know was that she was talented, ambitious, precocious, and lived a very glamorous and dangerous lifestyle.
