This week Bad at Sports Center checks in with Chicago photo super hero Jessica Labatte and a coterie of Northern Illinois University students (Alex Dulski, Edwin Perez-Hernandez, and Emma Vitallo) as they work towards the construction of the world’s largest paper snowflake.
Today on Bad at Sports, special Guest Host Mel Cook joins Jesse for a lively conversation with Neal Vandenbergh. Neal has an alluring and excellent exhibition that calls itself Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake at Mickey Gallery up through April 10th. We move through Neal’s practice, talk form, talk politics, talk process and laugh a bit.
Mark Bazer joins us to talk about the 12 years he has been doing The Interview Show live from the Hideout and on their broadcast partner WTTW. We talk about the interview and how best to knock it out of the park.
This week Brian and Ryan Roundtable with Asha Iman Veal, Tulika Ladsariya, and Mike Nourse of the Center program at Hyde Park Art Center. Antics ensue in discussions of life as a mid-career artists in Chicago and the exhibition Dream.

On this week’s Bad at SportsCenter we chatter about with Lan Tuazon. A Chicago-based sculptor, Tuazon discusses the culmination of her 10 year trilogy, Shift in the Order of Things, recently concluding at the Hyde Park Art Center. From Michael Reynolds’ Earthship to Alfred Heineken’s brick bottles, we unpeel a metaphorical onion to reveal the genius at the center of this epic series of “documentation sculpture”. Also, Jesse dubs the nickname “Chi Chi” for this human settlement we call Chicago. Call in and let us know your thoughts.
