When artists break boundaries of traditional forms and work outside
of institutionalized systems, they often must create new
infrastructures to sustain their practices. "Support Networks
"looks to Chicago's deeply layered history of artists, scholars,
and creative practitioners coming together to create, share, and
maintain these alternative networks of exchange and collaboration.
The contributors to this collection explore how the city continues
to inform and shape contemporary cultural work and the development
of informal organizations. Many of the authors are contributors to
the scene themselves, having envisioned, founded, and activated
these new ways of working. The unconventional systems explored in
"Support Networks" call attention to stories and experiences often
overlooked in this history. Ranging from artists' reflections to
essays, interviews, and ephemera, these perspectives challenge
existing narratives and foreground underrepresented voices. Through
more than twenty-five diverse examples of community building,
activism, and catalytic projects, readers will find the inspiration
they need to build their own counter-institutions.
"Support Networks "is part of the new Chicago Social Practice
History series, edited by Mary Jane Jacob and Kate Zeller in the
Department of Exhibitions and Exhibition Studies at the School of
the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).
