No Psychedelic Lore – Mushrooms and Bubbles at the Smart
In the midst of my search for a PhD position, itself a transnational quest taking me from Berlin to the Midwest, I had the opportunity to visit the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago. The date was February 23, 2023, coincidentally the opening day of not all realisms: photography, Africa, and the long 1960s, an archival exhibition curated by photography specialist and UChicago alum Leslie Wilson.
