“It was one cast and done,” said Robb, 39, owner of Crocodilian Specialist Services in St. Augustine, Florida. “Everybody’s got different blessings. This is my blessing,” he said of his ability to catch gators - a task a volunteer with the Chicago Herpetological Society known as “Alligator Bob” could not get done in the preceding days with baited traps.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt

I hate Alligator Bob because he's a liar and a failure, but I hate Alligator Robb for taping the gator's mouth shut instead of letting it talk.

"Well, Gator, what do you have to say for yourself?"

I would have loved for it to give a playful/sassy remark, but now we'll never get to hear it.

The notion of cool neighborhoods is no longer cool

Like how many endless iterations of the same thing can we do. I'm fine never living near a cocktail bar or brewery or scrumpatorium ever again

Buy a little flat in cicero, call it quits, and live the dream

Milwaukee is segregated but this seems strange to me. Where were you hanging?

Also how was the Cwynar show (assuming it's good if NM went twice)? I love her work but have only seen it on the web. Was encouraging my friends/fan in the area to peep it though

i was probably in a super yuppie part of town, but idk the name of the area. One of the places I distinctly remember being treated weird was Comet Cafe, which I'd been to before with a group of white friends from Ohio and was treated very differently (but it was also a busier time of day). Comet was great otherwise though, I am 100% going back.

Cwynar was great. Really beautiful tactile photo-collages that im guessing use a combination of photo and digital effects to get that crisp hi res surface. And also, I am a sucker for video essays right now. It's my preferred medium for work these days. I still put Elizabeth Price on a pedestal for her piece 'K'. Probably the most affecting work I've seen in the last 2 years, still. But I have some convoluted biases for that too.

yeah the way cwynar moves between traditional photography and digital spaces is fascinating, particularly in relation to her exploration of the relationship between the materiality of objects/bodies and the way they accrue value socially and affectively. i think this dynamic is particularly strong in soft film, but carries right through to cover girl, where she introduces the dimension of labor in the production of value. in the films, i like how the force of gesture can felt equally in the space of the studio and in the space of the desktop or phone screen.

the show was great to revisit because her work has such extraordinary density, both visual and intellectual, but is also quite graceful--i think about all the images of her spinning objects like broken ipods, cutting away before they collapse, as a kind of miniature figure for how the speed of the work keeps it from falling apart. (that's part of what makes them work so well as loops, and why my favorite moments watching her work are when i catch up to the point when i came into the piece and decide to keep watching). she uses montage in both her films and her photocollages in peculiar way, at first it seems like an artful-but-messy accumulation of images and statements rather than a more critical juxtaposition, but i find spending more time with a piece opens up their dialectical side.

sad to have missed the elizabeth price piece at AIC–it was open exactly during the period when I just got to chicago and was holed up day and night writing my dissertation. GG, did you see the andrew norman wilson and james n. kienitz wilkins piece "kodak"? definitely a really interesting video essay–and interesting to think about alongside cwynar in how it thinks about the relationship of analog film to digital/post-photographic images.
