Artist-Run Spaces
About the Event:
Artist-run spaces have played a crucial role in defining Chicago’s artistic landscape, yet the histories of these spaces and their influence is often overlooked. We’ll discuss the particular role of women-run art spaces and wander through—virtually—some current and historic practice rooms, performance spaces, galleries and warehouses-turned-wonderlands. Join Meg Duguid (Where the Future Came From) and visionary artists the Zhou Brothers for a conversation moderated by curator Allison Peters Quinn about how artist-run spaces contribute to the richness and ethos of art in Chicago.
