Chicago Artists Resource asks local artists to share their stories. In this essay by Vera Scekic, she answers the question, "What is the value in showing in alternative spaces?" An excerpt:
What [alternative spaces] have in common is the willingness to show new, unconventional and sometimes embryonic work. Their decidedly noncommercial bent allows artists to focus on a process, rather than a sale, and pushes them to make conceptual, material and methodological leaps—even if those leaps sometimes fall short."
