Pop-Up movement in Chicago’s South & West Loop
Art Walks, Art Talks, Art Installations, Art on the Move
October 7—November 4, 2010
There is a well-established history of artists taking over empty shops for temporary exhibitions or community projects. In the current economic downturn, such activity is actively supported by local councils and artist networks. The Phantom Galleries aims to examine changes in current curatorial production and develop innovative displays concerning these physical storefronts or virtual spaces.
