Studio Chicago
Several Chicago-based art institutions have banded up to form Studio Chicago, a year-long collaborative project, focusing on all aspects of the artist's studio. Through various exhibitions and events around the city, working artists and their sites of creative production will be celebrated and investigated from historical and contemporary perspectives.
Does that sound boring? Well, it's not. Several mind-numbingly interesting artists and galleries are participating in Studio Chicago, from Rodney Graham to Michelle Grabner; from the Hyde Park Art Center to threewalls gallery. UIC, SAIC, and Columbia College's galleries have jumped on the band wagon, too.
Studio Chicago launches with an Artists at Work Forum at the Cultural Center on Oct. 29th, and will go on for a year, manifesting itself though various exhibitions, talks, publications, tours, and research.
Don't be a stranger.
