Humor columnist Mark Bazer works in the same building as me (the Tribune Tower), but our paths never cross.

Visitors wade through helium-filled “pillows” that float, floor to ceiling, through a 2,000-square-foot gallery in the Loyola University Museum of Art.

Over the past few years writing about culture, I’ve interviewed a number of dancers and choreographers who talk about the influence of architecture on their art. The first time someone mentioned it—it might have been the Chicago-born (New York-based) choreographer Lar Lubovich—I remember thinking how incongruent it sounded.
