I have grown fond of the gallery at the very end of the hallway at 56 Bogart. Interstate Projects were founded in March 2011 by artist Tom Weinrich. Tom, who has a wood shop and a studio next door, has almost effordlessly put together noticeable art shows, one after another. The gallery space focuses on young, emerging artists and works to connect artists and ideas from across the country. Tom says he likes to give space to recent MFA graduates looking for community. In October, Tom gave the 1st solo show to Jesse McLean, who got her MFA in Moving Image from University of Illinois at Chicago, and it was very successful. This strong video exhibition that investigated trust, presence and the deceptive nature by showing a detail of facial expression of people doing trust falls, was featured as critic’s pick in Artforum.
