So last weekend I went home, to Missouri for a visit. On my way to the airport to head back to Chicago, mi madre and I stopped in Kansas City to see SAIC MFA alum, Deb Sokolow's solo show/installation "You are one step closer to learning the truth" at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. Deb's works are stories woven of conspiracy and paranoia, and are structured similar to the "Choose Your Own Adventure" children's books. She uses a bunch of stuff: pencil, pen, paint, and correction fluid to make the stories look like maps and diagrams with a journal entry writing style. They're usually done on huge sheets of paper, but this particular mystery was put directly on the wall. It was about someone trying to ruin the famously delicious KC style BBQ sauce by putting youth enhancers in it. Each story, including this one, is pretty hilarious.

Here are some photos. Sorry, they're pretty horrible and blurry. They didn't allow photos so I had to be sneaky and take them really quickly.

Thats David Copperfield. Thats me.
