Groups and Spaces was conceived by Temporary Services, an art group based in Chicago. In its short history, the project has cultivated a unique list of independently run art spaces, art groups and groups that runs spaces, boasting a registry of thousands of entries. The list, as Temporary Services explain is incomplete, reflective of the idea that group practice and collaboration is part of a trend defined by time or location. Rather, these groups and spaces are part of a larger culture of collectivity and collaboration – a way of making art that is built upon the idea of working together. Currently in collaboration with Temporary Services, the Institute for Applied Aesthetics is in the process of expanding the Groups and Spaces project as an opensource platform for use by artist communities worldwide. We see the future of Groups and Spaces as an autonomous web portal in which independent art spaces and groups can add entries and information about their endeavors and collaborate with members in their local and regional community. The site’s intention however, is not just to serve as a static registry, but instead Groups and Spaces is framed as a dynamic learning resource, providing a unique visualization of how art spaces and groups engage in social practice. (Note: Other contributors to Groups and Spaces include Greg Sholette, Scott Rigby of Basekamp, Ava Bromberg of Mess Hall, and Daniel Tucker of AREA Chicago.) Visit www.groupsandspaces.net for more.
