Last night Ruehlen attended the grand opening of the Gallery Building on the Block. The Gallery’s owner/curator Dustin Allen boasts of his gallery being an up and coming underground art and cultural scene located in Chicago’s west side. The gallery is located in a large urban warehouse, which is shared by several different artists utilizing its space, at the corner of Kedzie and Carroll. Ruehlen was able to watch the first exhibition come together piece by piece as Allen hung each work, whether it be on the wall, floor or ceiling. Allen laughing said “it was like art in itself” as he moved hastely around the room while hip hop blasted from the PA. Building on the Block appears to be both ambitious and forward while remaining true to its underground (almost secretive) persona. Keep your eyes open for more news and up and coming gatherings at Building on the Block.
