I had the privilege of visiting the Douglas Dawson Gallery in Chicago a few years ago and was completely blown away. The Gallery is not to be missed if you are traveling anywhere near Chicago. These images are from his booth at Art Chicago in May. I couldn’t get over how successfully Douglas created an atmosphere of tranquility and calm out of a what would have been a traditional blank gallery space. The use of industrial bases to display the artifacts is a refreshing change from the traditional white plinths.
The gallery has been in Chicago since 1982, and more recently moved to this location. As you can see by the images the gallery specializes in ancient and historic non-Western art.
These Parson-like tables have been made out from reclaimed rusted iron. They make for a great “stage” for the objects.
This African piece is life size….as in, as large as a real water buffalo…Big.
Great industrial base. The artifacts aren’t so bad either.
I believe this is a form of ancient currency. The sculptural qualities of this piece give it such a contemporary feel that it could be by Picasso or Calder.
The lighting in this image is a bit brighter than the gallery seemed to be. The space had a very Zen-like, calming quality unlike many of Art Chicago’s galleries.
Mexican Kalima Dog and more currency.
Obviously the Gallery was an easy space to photograph.
Huge industrial table with large bronze Buddha.

remarkable things here. I’m very satisfied to see your article. Thanks so much and i’m taking a look forward to touch you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
That’s the kind of article I like to read, exceptionally well written with great content. I would like to start a blog on the same subject but I’m not as good a writer as you are!
I read your articles with admiration. Site function.
The information you provide is really very nice. I wonder paylaşıcakmısınız more information about the subject.
Al-Kindi on my posts, I want to run.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Wow that of a great blog this can be! Some quality articles I don’t see on a daily basis!
Aw, this became a really nice post. In strategy I would like to put in writing in this way additionally ( blank ) taking time plus actual efforts to make a great article… but what / things I say… When i procrastinate many and by no means apparently get something accomplished.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We grabbed a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
How’s it goin’, all! I have no intentions of hijacking this convo, but has anyone done business with Comcast Service Center 2 n la salle st suite 1201, Chicago IL, 60602 (312) 985-5626? I’m conducting some research about employing them for their debt consolidation services, but unfortunately have had some huge frustrations with debt consolidation companies in earlier times. Thanks!
|I don’t usually interrupt brilliant discussions like this with questions, but I really need the help of whoever willing to lend me a hand. I’m thinking about employing Comcast 3103 E Grant Ave Fresno CA, 93702 (559) 354-9118 and I was wondering if anyone here has used them previously. I am looking for both the negative and positive areas of their business. Please get back to me as soon as possible for this is critical.Thank you.
