The Capsule Garden Vol 4.14: December 3, 2025 This may well be the last Capsule Garden for 2025, as I want to finish a year-in-review article before taking a break at the end of December. But no worries, it will return in 2026. A lot of person…

Last Capsule Garden of the year! After a whole host of personal news in this article, I dig into stellar new works from Pat Thomas, NKISI, Lea Bertucci, Merma Suelo, Carlos Giffoni & Joachim Nordwall, Norman W Long, Maria Valencia, Matt Moran & Brandon Lopez, Arcibanda, Hiele, and Cloud Management.

Join me and Janna Lee at the Hyde Park Art Center Thursday evening as we present our new project Desiring Machines

A pink folded sheet shown next to a bone folder with the title: TASKS FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD IN CHICAGO What follows is a preliminary list of 25 recommended tasks in advance of the pointless military occupation of Chicago by the National Guard, ordered by the president. These tasks may be completed in no particular order but they must be completed. Once finished to our satisfaction, new tasks can be assigned as needed. Good luck, troops.

If you saw my earlier posts with this same intro header, Tasks for the National Guard in Chicago, they have become the latest Public Collectors zine. I finished it this morning. It's a single folded sheet and I made 425 copies. Get one free on 8/31, 11-6 at the Hairpin Arts Center, at #ZineMercado
