ALLCITY: a bookwork of Chicago art education stories
(2025)
$18

Created in connection with the exhibition Learning Together: Art Education and Community, artist and educators Jorge Lucero and Paulina Camacho Valencia asked the contributors: What is your relationship to art education in Chicago? Did you teach? Did you learn? Did you make, advocate, fight, or give? Did you find healing, community, or purpose? Is your creative work through art education? Are you in early childhood, elementary, middle, or high school, higher education, or community arts? Are you in with the teaching artists, arts advocates, museum educators, social practitioners, or art therapists? Do you represent multiple intersections of these realms? The results are over 50 different art education stories from artist educators from across Chicago.

Ghost Nature
Timothy Morton, Graham Harman, Laurie Palmer, João Florêncio, Nettrice Gaskins, Jamila Wood, and Caroline Picard (2014)
$25

Mice grow human ears on their backs in laboratories and rabbits glow in the dark. In this new age of ecological awareness, “Nature” as a Romantic ideal—a pristine mountainside beyond the scope of human influence—is but a dithering spirit. Rather than succumbing to the pang of this loss, GHOST NATURE exposes the limits of human perspective in the emergent landscape that remains: a slippery network of sometimes monstrous creatures, plants, and technological advances. Published in French and English.  Sebastian Alvarez, Art Orienté objet, Jeremy Bolen, Irina Botea, Robert Burnier, Marcus Coates, Every house has a door, Assaf Evron, Carrie Gundersdorf, Institute of Critical Zoologists, Jenny Kendler, Devin King, Stephen Lapthisophon, Milan Metthey, Rebecca Mir, Heidi Norton, Akosua Adoma Owusu, Tessa Siddle, and Xaviera Simmons. Edited by Caroline Picard.
