In this volume, personal remembrances, art historical essays, creative writing, and reproductions of Pope.L’s works spanning 40 years – some never before published in their entirety – offer a comprehensive view of the life and oeuvre of this extraordinary artist. This issue also continues the reviews section, Portable Gray Review (PGR). Free and open to the public, the launch celebration will take place at GRAY Chicago (2044 W Carroll Ave) on Wednesday, August 27, 5-7pm. The event will feature a panel discussion between Portable Gray contributors Mami Takahashi and Theaster Gates, moderated by Zachary Cahill (at 6 PM); followed by a live DJ performance by contributor Dieter Roelstraete. This limited edition issue will be available for purchase at the event in person ($15). Produced by the Richard and Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry at the University of Chicago, Portable Gray is an interdisciplinary journal that ranges across practices. Each issue draws on a central theme, featuring a series of essays, interviews, poetry, musical compositions, and academic research by contributors who recast their disciplines through evolving models of experimentation. Online access to Portable Gray is free for students, staff, and faculty at any institution that subscribes to Portable Gray or the Complete Chicago Package from the University of Chicago Press. Subscriptions can be purchased in both digital and print formats, with one free article available for download per issue. Registration is required as this event has limited capacity.
