Art Chicago will celebrate its tenth anniversary as America's largest
and most respected contemporary art exposition. This international
exposition is expected to draw 35,000 art patrons. Over 200 of the
world's most exciting modern and contemporary galleries will represent
the work of more than 2,500 artists from blue-chip to the emerging and
radical.
International Invitational
Many of the Invitational participants made their inaugural appearances
in the United States at Art Chicago 2001. Each of the galleries focus on
a particular spectrum of current issues and trends that are electrifying
the contemporary art world, presenting an exciting opportunity for
curators, collectors, critics and artists to see the latest work
emerging on the international art scene.
Project Spaces
18 artists were selected to have special installations located adjacent
to their respective gallery's booth within the exposition. These
customized installation spaces will include gallery-sponsored projects
involving two-dimensional artwork, sculpture, video, performance and
electronics in any combination.
Metropolis
An exhibition of international artwork curated by Peter Doroshenko of
the Institute of Visual Arts (inova) in Milwaukee. The 20 artists
selected for Metropolis examine the tension between the urban and the
individual, the collision of nature and artifice, and the changing
parameters of large urban environments.
