A nice diversion this first Friday of December: Artist Luis Urculo stacks things -- books, bowls, cassette tapes (look 'em up, if you're at a loss), matchbooks, knives, audio equipment -- to resemble well-known pieces of architecture. It's nice to see he has a fondness for Chicago, as the Hancock, Sears, and Marina towers are all represented, as is the Farnsworth House in nearby Plano. My favorite is probably Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, Cover #07.
