Local Photographers Featured at Art @ Cole’s

On Monday evening, Cole’s bar (2338 N. Milwaukee) hosted an artists’ reception for Art@Cole’s #18: The Photo Show, an AnySquared Project (@AnySquared). Featured photographers included Mathew Avignone, Seaghan Brien, Laura Kurtenbach, Joseph Mietus and Brett Swinney. The show will be on display through Sept. 15, 2012.

AnySquared is an artists’ collaborative that organizes events and other ongoing exhibitions. Art@Cole’s has been taking place every six to eight weeks since April 2010, a few months after the artist collective began.

Photographer/videographer Brett Swinney and painter Tracy Kostenbader met while working in another artist collective and came together to create AnySquared in early 2010. Swinney, having grown up in Logan Square, wanted to give something back to the community. Kostenbader has resided in Logan Square for the past 20 years. The two desired a community that would showcase their art as well as that of fellow artists. The first project they created was Cinema Minima, which is an ongoing monthly series (also hosted at Cole’s) that “aspires to present an atmosphere to enjoy good films with good friends (and good drinks).”
