The ARC Digest is meant to archive in print the activities of Chicago s artist-run spaces between 1999-2009. It acts both as a companion to the exhibition and an extension of that project with interviews by Dan Gunn, essays by Abigail Satinsky, The Pond, Scott Speh and John Neff, Mary Jane Jacob and Lori Waxman, and an accompanying audio program by Bad At Sports featuring an interview with Temporary Services and a panel of Chicago artist-run media organizers. Interviews, essays and responses along with floorplans, exhibition histories and other visuals archive and present a 10-year time period in Chicago s artist-run culture while providing history, reflection, critique and dialog about artist-run culture, its importance, difficulties, sustainability and necessity as well as its specificity to a community and generation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Researchers, historians and art educators should not sleep on the beautifully JNL designed, limited edition journal." --Proximity Magazine

"The Artists Run Chicago Digest is a treasured anomaly. It is a written record of these fleeting [artist-run exhibition] spaces, with rare interviews and first-hand impressions." --Jason Foumberg, NewCity
