Artists Run Chicago
Through July 5 at Hyde Park Art Center
Ever wonder about that apartment on your street that always has strange installations in its windows? Chances are it could be an artist-run space; there are tons of independent, informal galleries throughout the city, but unless you're really on top of things, you might never know where to look for them, because these spaces often exist with little to no publicity (not to mention meager budgets). But though these spaces may be small, their ideas are anything but - and that's why the Hyde Park Art Center has seen fit to shine a light on some of the best artist-run spaces for an exhibit this month. Visitors will be able to view works from a variety of spaces, including Roots & Culture, Swimming Pool Projects, Modest Contemporary Art Projects, Suitable, Second Bedroom, Green Lantern and more, all without traipsing across the city.
