FUTURA Returns to Chicago for a 'Family Affair' at Anthony Gallery
FUTURAis back withAnthony Galleryin Chicago for a solo exhibition calledFamily Affair. Though FUTURA is best known for his roots in New York City's graffiti scene, the presentation marks his first solo show in Chicago. He shares a personal connection to the city through his mother Billie who was born in Chicago and FUTURA spent summers there throughout his childhood, visiting his grandmother who suffered from chronic illness. The exhibition coincides with the 50th anniversary of his mother's passing, adding a deeply personal layer to the presentation.
In a statement, FUTURA reflects on those summers in Chicago, remembering peach cobbler on the porch, learning what a pantry was and the comfort of a home that felt far removed from his New York apartment. ''Family Affair' suggests my journey has come full circle,' he said in a press statement.
The exhibition features new large-scale paintings, collages, a six-panel work and pieces made on skateboards. Altogether, these works continue FUTURA's evolution as a multidisciplinary artist in all spheres of the art world while weaving in personal memories and cultural references.
The show opened June 17 and runs through July 26.

Rebecca Loos: ‘Disappointing' Celebrity SAS interrogation focused on Beckham
Former model Rebecca Loos said it was a 'little bit disappointing' that her interrogation on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins focused on her alleged affair with Sir David Beckham. Loos, who is now a yoga instructor living in Norway, made headline news when she claimed in a kiss-and-tell interview that Sir David had cheated on his wife Victoria with her. The 48-year-old appears on the latest season of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, where she was asked about the alleged affair. Of this experience, Loos told ITV's Good Morning Britain: 'It was a little bit disappointing that there was so much focus on that in the interrogation room, because I really did think that going in, there was an opportunity for them to get to know me, and that was a very small part of my life, so, but it is what it is.' The former footballer has always maintained that Loos's allegations of an affair are 'ludicrous'. Asked whether the interrogation on the reality show was a 'final learning curve' that her association with Sir David will never fade as that is what she is best known for, Loos said she recognised that that was true. She continued: 'The reason I spoke out back in the day, and we don't need to talk about this this morning because we don't need to focus on that. 'We're here for SAS. 'But the one thing I will say for me, it was always about the truth. 'It was always about being truthful for the truth to be revealed and I feel that that is one of the reasons why it won't go away.' Loos went on to shut down another question from Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley who asked whether she 'blamed him' for denying the alleged affair. 'I think we should focus on SAS,' Loos said. During the interrogation on the reality show, Loos said of the alleged affair: 'I think I've definitely taken most of the blame for what's happened, and rightly so. 'It was part of my life, but you know, we were two, and he was older than me, and he was my boss.' Loos previously said she was shocked by 'horrific' trolling she received after the period was revisited in Sir David's documentary series, which launched on Netflix in 2023. Other celebrity contestants on this series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins include the Traitor's winner Harry Clark, musician Lady Leshurr and former Premier League Footballer Troy Deeney. Airing across eight one-hour episodes, the seventh series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which started on August 3, is available to watch on Channel 4 every Sunday and Monday from 9pm.

Teddi Mellencamp Addresses Estranged Husband Edwin's Past Affair, Had to ‘Beg Him' to Stay
Teddi Mellencamp recalled her mindset in the aftermath of estranged husband Edwin Arroyave's affair a decade ago. 'I had to beg Edwin to want to stay with me. I had to beg him. I don't think he was in love with me at that point,' Mellencamp, 44, recalled on the Tuesday, August 5, episode of 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show' podcast. 'I think we've gone through times in our marriage where we've been madly in love with each other, but that wasn't one of those times.' Mellencamp shared that she considered walking away from the marriage, but 'then it got better,' which is why she stayed. 'People oftentimes think that if this happens in a marriage and even if it's reversed — which you know people have said a lot of different things about me too — is that you're doing it because you don't have care for other people in your life,' she added. 'Sometimes you just don't have enough care for yourself.' Teddi Mellencamp Says 'Worst Time' in Edwin Arroyave Marriage Was Right Before 'RHOBH' Mellencamp acknowledged that she also made 'huge mistakes' in their relationship after Arroyave's affair, but said that his infidelity 'broke' her. (Mellencamp had an affair of her own years later.) 'That was the first time in my life where I was like, 'How will I show up every day with a smile on my face and raise these kids and be this perfect wife and start a television show?'' she iHeartRadio Mellencamp discovered that Arroyave's affair was with 'someone that she knew' just before her first season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2017. 'My first season on Housewives, that's what I was going through,' Mellencamp added. 'People say, 'Oh you seem kind of quiet or you were kind of passive or but that's not really who you are.' I was like, well I wasn't faking who I was, I was coping. I was so scared that someone was going to find out and ruin my family's life.' Page Six broke the news of Arroyave's affair in November 2024, days after Mellencamp announced that they had split after 13 years of marriage. (The former couple share kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 5.) 'After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,' she shared via Instagram at the time. 'My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.' Teddi Mellencamp Is Working on 'Feeling My Best' After Announcing Divorce From Edwin Arroyave Mellencamp filed for divorce that same month, revealing that their date of separation was in October 2024. During Wednesday's podcast episode, Mellencamp claimed that she only told one person after initially finding out about Arroyave's affair. She alleged that the other woman 'was coming forward' because of 'a financial thing.' 'That was even more heart-wrenching because I was like, 'You'd be willing to do this to my family for money and not even a lot of it. Disgusting,' Mellencamp added. That person called me and told me, and it was a couple days before filming of my first season.' Solve the daily Crossword
