Mike
Leonard, who does spots for the Today Show, hung out with me for a few days.
We checked out some of my work here in Chicago including the Museum of Contemporary
Art show running through Aug. 31. Interviews with people who appear in my work
explaining the process and how they feel about being a part of it. Plus, I imagine,
me talking (ad nauseum) about working as an artist for the past 6 years. Mike
is a real talent. This should be good and is tentatively schedualed to air on
Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1. at 8:50 a.m. NBC. Matt and Katie, you've seen it...
WBEZ
Interview
with Victoria Lautmen for 848, Chicago Public Radio 91.5. Listen for this between
10 - 11 a.m. the week of Aug. 25 - 29. It's an audio tour of Dark Matter at
the MCA. You need RealPlayer.

Journal Article by Laura Putre
Since
he graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Jeff Zimmermann
has worked primarily as a muralist. While he has completed important community-based
murals in Pilsen (including one at 19th Street and Ashland), one of Chicago’s
most vital neighborhoods and the home to many Mexican Americans, he also has
created what he calls ‘private murals.’ His method is to locate suitable
walls on which to create his dynamic paintings which are inspired by the built
environment as well as the life of the community. The owners of these walls
agree to leave the design and content of the murals entirely up to Zimmermann.
One such mural can be found on Damen Avenue just north of Lake Street.
For
his MCA project, Zimmermann has followed a similar working method: he has observed
and responded to the area in and around the MCA. After getting to know this
complex retail and residential neighborhood, he became acquainted with specific
individuals, such as the policeman depicted on the west wall, as well as with
what he calls "urban tumbleweeds," the snack bags and crushed soda
cans that travel across sidewalks, streets, and plazas. He then juxtaposed these
elements with his personal interests, including the Chicago Board of Trade’s
derivatives market, mathematics, and politics to create the wall painting Dark
Matter. This term, which is used by cosmologists to describe a yet-undetected
matter or energy that is theorized to make up the majority of the universe,
gives one important key to the work. Dark Matter interweaves the private and
the public, the mental life of the individual with the complex interworkings
of the society in which the individual exists.
