Brief About:
{/}() {/}∆‡!(){/} - Tangential Unspace Art Lab is located at 1542 N Milwaukee Ave Floors 2 and 4:
Since its Foundation thirteen years ago {/}() {/}∆‡!(){/} has served as a prolific artistic platform for experimental Performance Art and cultural production combining language, image/sound-making, presentations, screenings, workshops, and a unique 3-6 month live-in Artist-in-residence program. Last year, in 2022 we organized thirty exhibitions, where we presented and collaborated with more than 250 artists from Chicago and around the globe.
While existing as a self-maintained/sustained artist-run space, {/}() {/}∆‡!(){/} has worked to foster a local and global border crossing arts network, aiming to contribute to an accessible exchange of ideas that are deeply concerned with critical concepts of socially implanted origins, identity, the affirmation of agency, intimacy, spontaneity, and collaboration in how art is created, discussed and experienced. We are exiles, queer dissidents, black and brown bodies, denationalized and unnationalized existences.
{/}() {/}∆‡!(){/} is an independent Performance Art disorganization started in 2010 by a first generation south of the border immigrant artist named Amaya Torres, and a Norse artist called Snorre Sjønøst Henriksen. We are currently run by founder Amaya and Co-directrix Chicagoan Aza Greenlee who joined in 2014.
Today, in 2023 {/}() {/}∆‡!(){/} is the number one venue for Experimental Performance Art in Wicker Park and in Chicago. At this time, we are seeking legally binding protection that will allow us to remain in our space in the Lubinski building, independent of Equity Arts.
