This week: Duncan talks to Britton Bertran and Allison
Peters Quinn about Artists Run Chicago which is currently up at the Hyde Park
Art Center.

Artists Run Chicago is an exhibition showcasing the energy and audacity of some
of the most noteworthy artist-run spaces that have influenced the Chicago
contemporary art scene over the past decade. Chicago has long been known for
cultivating a strong entrepreneurial/Do-It-Yourself spirit in business and the
arts. The participating artist-run venues have transformed storefronts, sheds,
apartments, lofts, industrial warehouses, garages and roving spaces into
contemporary art galleries testing the notion of “exhibition” while
complicating the definition of art. Coinciding with the Hyde Park Art Center’s
70th anniversary, Artists Run Chicago reconnects the Art Center to its
beginnings as an artist-run space by showcasing spaces that continue the
legacy.
