Chris Smith’s been hard at work. His gallery has recently been receiving numerous accolades and high fives. Most recently the Medicine Cabinet was named the “Best Gallery Space Located in a Bathroom” by New City. His zine “Inland Architect” should be finished soon. Here’s how he describes it. “Taking its title from a century old Chicago based architecture journal,Inland Architect is a story of cast off materials told through a haunted tutorial for survival where isometric descriptions of their absurd assembly drift between vignettes of decimated landscapes then back to rigid design proposals.”

Alex Cohen stopped by to drop off art work and put the finishing touches on his zine. It should be coming out in January. You can read his updated bio on the artist page.
