"The (Con) Temporary Art Chicago Guide is a map of Chicago, showcasing some of the city's best cultural offerings during the spring art season. The territory includes prominent art institutes and initiatives, several annual art festivals and fairs, independent art spaces and other culturally significant projects.

"Broadly speaking, Bush and his posse haveb been really good for creating a global surrealist movement. This mafia has a real talent for transforming personal headspace, for challenging our whole notions of truth and reality. We're dedicating this issue to this evil sense of psychological psychedelia and a radically detached personal point of view."
