Chicago's Fascinating History of Change

Chicago is one of America's largest cities, having grown from a small village of Native Americans to the bustling metropolis it is today. Its fascinating history takeout can be traced through both its cultural roots and developing infrastructure over the last 2 centuries.

Chicago's History in Rich Explorers

The City of Chicago, with its extensive and rich history, has witnessed significant transformations. As one of the largest cities in the United States, it has evolved from its founding by French explorers to becoming an industrial powerhouse. Chicago has navigated through numerous eras, leaving an indelible mark on America. Established in 1779 as Fort Dearborn by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a fur trader of Haitian and African descent and considered Chicago's first permanent resident, the city's historical tapestry is woven with diverse threads.

Early Settlements: Native American Tribes

The history of the United States is intrinsically linked to that of Native American tribes, who first settled in North America thousands of years ago. Tribes like the Apache, Cherokee, and Sioux were among the earliest people to inhabit the continent long before Europeans began exploring. These tribes lived a nomadic lifestyle for much of this time, forming small settlements as they followed migrating animal herds or sought out lands with more fertile soils. As these settlements evolved, becoming more extensive and intricate, they developed distinct cultural identities. Notable examples include the Iroquois Confederacy, an alliance of five Native American nations, and the Mississippian Mound Builders, who constructed expansive earthworks in present-day Louisiana and Mississippi.

19th Century Boomtown: Immigration and Development

The 19th century brought an influx of immigrants to the United States, particularly in cities like Chicago. Many immigrants were drawn to this bustling city by its promise of opportunity and potential for personal growth. This time marked a significant boomtown as new businesses, industries, and infrastructure began to develop remarkably. As these immigrants settled into their new city, they quickly made their mark by introducing fresh ideas and innovations that led to further economic growth. By the end of the 19th century, Chicago had become a major industrial center with an international economy rivaling other large cities worldwide.

Manufacturing and Migration: 19th and 20th Centuries

The 19th and 20th centuries marked a period of massive industrialization, and increased demand for manufacturing labor came with it. By 1900, in Chicago's metropolitan area factories. Many of these employees had come from Germany, Ireland, Italy, and other parts of Europe to work in the factories due to limited job prospects back home. This need drove many people to migrate from rural areas to large cities such as Chicago in search of employment opportunities. Chicago was once known for its large stockyards that processed livestock meat, but the city also grew into one of the most important centers for manufacturing in the United States. Immigrants were critical in fueling Chicago's remarkable growth during this time. They brought new skills and ideas that helped propel the city into a major center for innovation and industry.

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 remains one of the most catastrophic disasters in U.S. history. Sparking on October 8th, a small fire broke out on the Southwest Side of Chicago, swiftly engulfing the city. The inferno raged for two days, consuming over three square miles of land and devastating an estimated 17,500 buildings. The cause of the fire is unknown to this day, though many theories exist as to what may have sparked it. Some believe that a cow belonging to Mrs. O'Leary kicked over a kerosene lamp in her barn, while others suspect that faulty wiring or arson was responsible for starting the blaze. Whatever its cause, conditions were ripe for disaster due to an arid summer that left much of Chicago covered in sawdust and dried lumber - perfect fuel for any spark that might be ignited.

Growth Despite Adversity: Post-Fire Rebuilds

The City of Chicago is no stranger to adversity, and the aftermath of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 is a prominent example. Despite this catastrophic event, the city was able to rebuild and grow in the wake of destruction. With determination and resilience written into its history, it is no surprise that Chicago has been able to once again find success after facing another setback: the wildfires of 2020. In June and July last year, more than 11,000 acres were burned by wildfires in northern Illinois due to extreme weather patterns across the Midwest. Fortunately for the citizens of Chicago, despite these conditions leading to some property damage, the city maintained its strong sense of community throughout its recovery efforts. After a summer full of dedicated work from local officials and volunteers alike, many areas have experienced positive change as they rebuild their city.

Many thanks to the Smart Museum for the acquisition of Judy Ledgerwood’s 2020 monotype “Tumbling Spectrum #1”. The print is one of a remarkable group of unique prints Ledgerwood made at Manneken Press which, due to the pandemic, we weren’t able to show publicly until this April at @expochicago. The entire series of prints, and a video on the project, can be viewed on our website (link in bio). Contact Manneken Press for current pricing/availability. @smartmuseum @judyledgerwood @chromphillia #smartmuseum #judyledgerwood #expochicago2022 #monotype #uniqueprints #worksonpaper #tumblingspectrum #chicago #mannekenpress #universityofchicago @universityofchicago (at Smart Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwVN-CrYME/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fascinating crew of folks together on this:

If the trajectory is anything like it is/was for visual art, the plea here may very well be too late. Generally, computer-generated “content” isn’t really an issue… THE ISSUE is the data sets used to train the algorithms.

Our stance: If one has not provided express consent for one’s work to be used in data training sets then plagiarism has occurred.

Having a kind of insider knowledge of how these “AI” and algorithms work, I’m confident in that stance.

Here’s hoping for the best… but the world tends to let down those who simply hope….

In the meantime, visual artists can and SHOULD disrupt the development of these algorithms as much as they can.

Useful tools like GLAZE and NIGHTSHADE exist and should be used whenever possible.

Link below.

Brilliant work by the crew at University of Chicago.

Allen Ginsberg, Irving Rosenthal, Peter Orlovsky, Chicago, at the time of Big Table Magazine benefit reading, featuring Peter Orlovsky, Gregory Corso and Allen, January 1959. Irving Rosenthal passed away last weekend at the age of 91.

Irving Rosenthal along with Paul Carroll, founded the hugely consequential, but short lived Big Table Magazine after running afoul of the University of Chicago for publishing excerpts of William Burroughs' Naked Lunch in the Chicago Review Summer 58 issue. The first issue, published March 1959, edited by Rosenthal, was seized by authorities for obscenity, with the decision ultimately reversed by none other than Judge Julius Hoffman who conducted the Chicago 7 trial nearly ten years later. The benefit reading was released on Fantasy Records and is still available as Howls Raps and Roars, and Howl & Other Poems (photos courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Estate)

Check out our most recent blog post about the Schamp-Levin Collection, which contains the papers of Mable Schamp and her second husband, Meyer Levin. Mable Hall Schamp (1912-1951) grew up in poverty but earned a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Chicago in 1936, served as a volunteer in the Spanish Civil War, worked on male contraceptives, battled mental illness, and became the first female professor at the City College of New York’s Chemistry Department.
