The past CCC “The People’s Palace” is an outstanding home for this show. Huddle between Chicago skyscrapers is the majority pleasing system to analysis Crane’s explicit explorations in her Chicago Loop Series, 1976-78 or her photos of Chicago commuters pummeling the viewer in her Commuter Discourse, 1978. Chicago Beaches and Parks, 1972-78 captures Windy City summers with glossy, bikini-clad bodies that look like stills from a multi-racial version Beach Blanket Bingo.
