| School of the Future Employee Interview Joseph - Film major student Q.What's the majority of visitors in de Paul Univ Museum? A. The majority of our visitors are de Paul Univ students on their way to library or capus tour, or just killing time! Q.What is the greatest strength of this museum? A. It is kind of hard to explain, it's made by group of Chicago artists. It is an abnormal studio or gallery, not passive art gallery. Our studio has a functioning stage, we've had two concerts so far. And it is mostly for independent music bands, it could be used as recording studio as well. And the speciality of this spacs is that for Chicago zoneing issue of formal space we had to totally renovate the studio, it is new space. However, unfortunately this unique place will not be last from next week. (They are building a new museum of de Paul Univ.) Q. Are those art works temporary? A. Yes. they are changed every nine weeks as different art works. |

Sadly, Depaul Univertisy Museum is pretty invisible even though it is a block away from the train station(Fullerton station) in a very beautiful neighborhood. The Museum was seperated in two rooms (although they are no longer available over there, they have been moved to new space). One room was decorated with classical art pieces that are basically presenting Vincent dePaul's art works and the architectural history of DePaul University. I liked it more than the other room personally as I'm studying architecture :-) I could see really great hand drawings and paintings of Vincent dePaul and the explainations of himself and the his works through public's view. Vincent dePaul was the one who hit off the classical tradition of architecture. Although he studied classical architecture, but his ideas were radically advanced in Italy, 1822-1824
Later on, he wondered of Rome where he worked as an architect as well as a teather. The ancient bldg were brilliant encaustic on wax-based painting.
However, Vincent dePaul, as to leave no white marble ex-posed was shocking to his peers. Among his three books, one was about Basilica of Saint Vincent de-Paul which reveals imaginations more than mind sleeped archeology,
it also offers a pathway of thinking on the sacred and the architect's responsibility to glorify the living. Most mature vision of his religious view.
