Up Our Sleeve @ Open End
The folks at Dublab have put together a show based on the work of over 500 artists who've created album covers for records that, well, don't really exist. Entitled Up Our Sleeve, this unique show has already been to the coasts, Europe, and the Far East, and will end here at Chicago's very own Open End Gallery. Be sure to check it out soon, though — it's only around from Friday 'til Sunday.
Chinese dinosaurs @ Field Museum
The Field Museum opens a temporary exhibit today, Dinosaur Dynasty: Discoveries from China. Among the animals on display will be Mamenchisaurus (the longest-necked animal that ever lived) and Caudipteryx (a feathered dinosaur). Plus, you'll be able to touch a real dinosaur leg bone! Can't pass that up! The exhibit runs through April 23 of next year. See the Field Museum Website for full details on the exhibit and ticket information. The Field Museum: 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive. (312) 922-9410.
