I would love to see someone map out, just like what Ryan Thompson had done with Geneva's, all the glacial erratics in Chicago, its immediate environs and not-too-further afield, at least the more monumental ones, and if there are any to be found, as a sort of field guide to the city's ancestral (and far-future) landscape, intriguing hints at the primordial forces that shaped (and even today continue to influence) its urban history.
That, or build !melk et alia's rejected artificial glacier for Navy Pier.
Kingdom Animalia is an online group art exhibit and sale to benefit the Big Life Foundation, an non-profit conservation group created by photographer Nick Brandt in response to the alarming increase in animal poaching in Africa.
The show includes contributions by a number of artists, both originals and limited edition prints. The works are, naturally enough, created around a theme of animals, both real and fanciful.
