ART CHICAGO 2010: Opening Night photo-eye Booth 263 May 1-3

The Merchandise Mart, Art Chicago 2010 12th floor

In 1930 the Merch Mart was built on the site of a former Native American trading post, Wolf Point, the main point of supplies for traders and trappers heading west. Designed to be a "city within a city", the Merch Mart was the largest building in the world with 4,000,000 sq feet. It was owned for over 50 years by the Kennedy family until 1998.

Sound of Yesteryears (circa 1957)

It was July 6, 1957. The concert hall was filled with crazed fans. The shrills were deafening. It was pandemic. Well, after all, it was one of the most popular bands of music history that will perform that night. Known as Banda Puti, the band's sounds reverberated along the halls with so much gusto. Their kind of sound made the girls banged their heads while the boy fans shouted like little girls. Well, thanks to Photoshop, they still linger on the minds of their undying fans who, for decades, kept some signed photos and put them on their aged "bauls"(wooden bolts/safe) :) Well, the sound of yesteryears keeps on playing on and on and on. :) (Shown above are the After and Before photos) Photo Manipulation by George Pontino Jr.
