ALEX KOTLOWITZ BRIGHT SPOTS ABOUND IN CHICAGO'S NEIGHBORHOODS
I moved to Chicago in 1983 from Lansing, Mich., where I was working as a free-lancer, primarily for MacNeil-Lehrer on public radio. I decided I wanted to move to a larger city. I was from New York originally, and so the question was whether to move back there or come to Chicago. When I first moved here, I lived in Wicker Park, and one of the things I liked about it was that it was a mixed neighborhood. There were Hispanics, blacks, whites, poor, working-class people, professionals. I really enjoyed the mix, and it was a lively neighborhood. I lived right across the street from the park itself, and I could go out in the afternoon and play basketball if I was at home writing, and I loved to be able to do that. I found Chicago very livable. But as I got to know the city, I found that Wicker Park was very unusual. In fact, this city is very segregated by race and class. This is one of the things that has disappointed me most about the city. I live in Oak Park now, and one of the reasons I moved out there is that I wanted a neighborhood that was integrated, and there aren't that many in the city.

Pharrell : a fish doesn't know it's wet
\"Following Rizzoli's best-selling \"Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've Been,\" this volume documents the continuing adventures in art and design of one of the most influential figures in contemporary music and popular culture. Lavishly illustrated with 250 photographs and illustrations, this book features Pharrell Williams's prolific and ever-expanding body of work in a graphic language all his own. Straddling art, design, and hip-hop, Pharrell's creative output is without peer or precedent. By playing off different disciplines--music, fashion, and contemporary art--Pharrell has redefined the role of the contemporary artist, blazing a trail for other musicians and cultural figures. Expanding on themes covered in \"Places and Spaces I've Been,\" this book gathers a new group of collaborators. Engaging Pharrell in conversation, talents as diverse as Karl Lagerfeld and Takashi Murakami position Pharrell's work within contemporary visual and material culture. The worldwide success of the song \"Happy\" to his soundtrack and production credit for the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures bookend a volume devoted to Pharrell's mastery of artistic collaboration. Featuring work with artists as diverse as JR, Alex Katz, Mr., and Daniel Arsham, the book highlights recent projects and designs for Chanel, Moncler, Moynat, and Adidas. But at the heart is the visual language that Pharrell has built around his Ice Cream/Billionaire Boys Club clothing line, which integrates streetwear into the design of apparel, accessories, limited-edition toys, and skate graphics\"--Provided by publisher.
