Our guest is Jamie Gannon, an artist, designer, and photographer who has spent over 30 years in Chicago exploring the intersection of architecture, memory, and creative practice.In this episode, Jamie speaks with host Christian Solorzano about his unique approach to documenting buildings through what he calls "defamiliarization" - taking familiar structures and making them unexpected again. He shares insights about his journey from Tennessee to Chicago, his evolution from commercial graphic design to fine art, and his meticulous process of photographing, deconstructing, and reconstructing architectural forms.Jamie discusses his recent move to a new studio at MANA Contemporary, his "Sibling Revelry" exhibition in Nashville, and his Type Force installation. We explore how his background in printmaking influences his current work with surfaces and materials, his morning ritual of walking through Wicker Park, and why he chooses hands-on creation in an increasingly digital world.The conversation delves into Jamie's philosophy of preserving architectural history, his approach to craft and detail, and how he balances commercial design work at Surprise Media with his artistic practice. Jamie reflects on the role of intuition versus strategy in creative work, the importance of surface in art-making, and his upcoming plans for art fairs throughout the Midwest.Music by the band Eighties Slang.

Wicker Park Lutheran Church Rev. Jason S. Glombicki May 4, 2025 Change is at the center of today's gospel reading, and … change is challenging. Change is hard because it almost always involves loss, uncertainty, and disruption – even when it's for the better. But not all change is the same. In fact, scholars note that there are two different types of change – technical change and adaptive change. Technical changes are easy solutions that often have apparent solutions.

How do WE show your love to Jesus? How do YOU thank him for redeeming you? If everyone were to answer one after the other, there would certainly be a colorful bouquet of ways in which you can show your love for Jesus: by singing hymns, through charity, through monetary donations, prayers, worshipping. And if we study and research the Gospels for further possibilities, this bouquet would become even larger and more colorful...

Every first Sunday in Lent we always here the story of Jesus' temptation from the viewpoint of a synoptic gospel (that is Matthew, Mark, or Luke). Compared to last year's version from Mark, we have a lot more to work with here. In Luke, we see three distinct scenes where Jesus was tempted by the “devil.” And the devil doesn't have a tail and a pitchfork, but in Greek, it is term for an “accuser” or “slanderer.”...

One of my special moments was always when we stood on top of a mountain very early in the morning. But even after a long hike, reaching the top is something special. At this moment, everything was made up for. For getting up early and for the strenuous ascent. You were simply happy. And I was simply in awe of God's creation. Intoxicated by the magnificent view.

In this episode of “At Your Convenience,” CSP Editor Rachel Gignac talks to Mike LaVitola, the original founder of Chicago-based Foxtrot, about his decision to return to the company to reopen certain locations of the convenience-store chain. LaVitola talked about how the reopenings are going, what the team is focused on and aspects of operations that have changed. Since Foxtrot's parent company, Outfox Hospitality, closed all of its stores in April, the chain sold its assets to Further Point Enterprises. Days later, Foxtrot filed for bankruptcy. Then, Further Point invited LaVitola to return and help lead a revival. Since September, Foxtrot has reopened five locations in Chicago in the Gold Coast, Old Town, Wicker Park, Fulton Market and River North neighborhoods. It is continuing its path of reopening about one of its previous locations every month, with a total of 10 of its original 33—mostly in Chicago and a couple in Dallas. For a full timeline on Foxtrot's operations, click here. Foxtrot was founded in 2014 as a delivery company selling snacks, beer and wine, and grew into a corner store-restaurant hybrid that featured high-end package goods, prepared foods, coffee bars and wine bars. The chain, once billed as the “convenience store of the future,” raised more than $160 million to fuel its growth over its lifetime.
The magi have fascinated Christians for thousands of years. They are depicted in 3rd century frescos in the catacombs of Rome and were carved into the façades of Chartres Cathedral in the 13th century. They were the subject of great artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Dürer. And most church nativity scenes, as well as at-home devotional nativities, would look incomplete without them.

Several weeks back, within these very pews actually, I heard a sermon that re-shaped the way I approached the Christmas season.

Last week's gospel introduced us to John the Baptist. We heard John's message of repentance and its connection to the prophet Isaiah. But there wasn't much meat about what repentance looks like, how it functions, or the purpose of it. But, this week is different as the story continued. We that heard the substance of John's message was, as one colleague put it, “harsh, urgent, and concrete.”... The post Sixth Sunday of Advent appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

Today's gospel reading has at least two parts – (1) a list of leaders and rulers and (2) the beginning of John the Baptist's teaching. If you're anything like me, I often want to skim past lists of names to get to the good part. A lot of times I cannot contextualize the names and frankly, I often fumble the pronunciation of their names as well. But these three short verses are not ones we want to zoom past. While they certainly give us some historical context to the environment in which John began his ministry, they also make a key theological claim...

Today we finish our year-long study of Mark's gospel. It is the last time we'll hear from Mark until November 29, 2026. This final reading wasn't the chronological ending of Mark's story– that was the empty tomb we studied on Easter. Nor did the lectionary bring us back to the beginning with a quote from Isaiah and John the Baptist – remember, there was no birth narrative in Mark. Rather, we are left in the middle of the gospel in what is often called the “little apocalypse.”... The post Second Sunday of Advent appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

In today's reading, Jesus was in the temple. He had been teaching through parables and answering questions about taxes, the resurrection, the messiah, and the greatest commandment. Before he took a break, Jesus spoke about his primary challengers in Mark's gospel, that was the scribes. The scribes were men who had a deep knowledge of the law and could draft legal documents, like contracts for marriages, divorces, loans, inheritance, and mortgages. These scribes curated a public reputation of being pious with lengthy prayers to convince people that they were trustworthy...

This episode is brought to you by stubborn tenacity. SubT and Beat Kitchen are two of Chicago's favorite music rooms, and for good reason. Both are embedded in their respective neighborhoods (Wicker Park and Roscoe Village, respectively), have warmth and character, and provide consistently great entertainment. Robert Gomez, owner of both venues, joins me outside Beat Kitchen to talk about the venues and Chicago's live music landscape. Timing is everything: this conversation takes place as SubT revs up its 30th anniversary celebration (#SubT30). As we chat about the music scene, we snack on Beat Kitchen's delicious steak sandwich and Thai pizza. Both are recommended, but pack some mints. I really enjoyed talking with Robert; if you have an interest in Chicago's music landscape, this is a must-listen. ## CCC is sponsored by Easy Automation.
