Another photograph by Carrie Schneider, from her MFA show at SAIC. “This is when I first saw her work. It’s called Las Bebidas, The Drinkers, in reference to the Velázquez painting, Las Meninas.” Echoing the puzzles of reflection and gaze in that masterpiece of the Spanish court, Schneider staged this at “the Rainbo Club, which is the Chicago hangout for artists, so it was kind of like, this is the contemporary court of Chicago’s art world.”
