For the month of February the Miller Gallery displays and distributes Art Work: A National Conversation About Art, Labor, and Economics, a free newspaper that consists of writings and images from artists, activists, writers, critics, and others on the topic of working within depressed economies and how that impacts artistic process, compensation, and artistic property.
Art Work was produced by Temporary Services, a Chicago-based group composed of Brett Bloom, Salem Collo-Julin and Marc Fischer. Temporary Services produces exhibitions, events, projects, and publications. “Our name directly reflects the desire to provide art as a service to others. It is a way for us to pay attention to the social context in which art is produced and received.”
Join us in Chicago for an exhibition featuring Art Work and our friends The Free Store. Temporary Services has organized the exhibition and coordinated a bunch of related events, all to take place at Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We hope to see you for the opening reception on Wednesday, January 27,
