This week’s cover story is on a new hip-hop opera that premieres tonight at the DuSable Museum of African American History. The Creative Reuse Warehouse, a project of the Resource Center, collects surplus materials from businesses and sells it for cheap to teachers, the city, and anyone intrepid enough to trek down to its Riverdale warehouse. Han 202 in Bridgeport offers a five-course prix fixe menu, combining the ambience of an upscale restaurant with the taste of Chinese takeout. We cover the Renaissance Society’s current exhibit on Poland and the Polish diaspora, the Smart Museum’s new show of prints and other works from artists in eighteenth-century Rome, and Logsdon 1909’s latest round of dreamy, ethereal paintings and sculptures. And last weekend brought both a StarCraft tournament and a brunch for art students from all over the city on the University of Chicago’s campus.
