VERSION 10 (Space Crawl + other programs)
MONDAY, APRIL 26
Version Residency Space
@ (Con)Temporary Art Space (208 S Wabash)
11:30am-5:30pm (open all week)
What would you do if you were given an empty storefront space in the Loop? This Spring, we used it as a research center, working studio, and place to hold weekly exhibitions. We also held a few screenings, promoted performance art, and sold our publications, as well as others by artists from around the world. Thanks to the Pop Up Art Loop folks for their generosity and assistance – May 1st is our last day!Throughout Version 10, students from the Academie St Joost (The Netherlands) will use the space for a base of operations, studio work, performance and actions. Stop by to see their work in progress and get information, programs, maps, and related Version ephemera.

Prom @ Roxaboxen (2130 w 21st) www.roxaboxenminicastle.com 6pm - 8pm Opening reception Prom is an exhibition of work by Chicago Public School teachers organized by Albert Stabler. There is only one major publicized art show for teenagers in the city, the All-City Art Show, and, while it serves a purpose for the students and teachers who are able to have work accepted, it has its limitations. The only criterion for inclusion in "PROM" is that the work represent a wider definition of quality (and, in fact, of what constitutes art). The dream is that this would be the spark of a new movement of teenage art shows proliferating across the city. Work by: Christopher Santiago sunny neater-dubow Nicole Marroquin Albert Stabler Michelle Manalansan Corpus pat guizzetti Basia Toczydlowska Jesse Wyss Linda Comminos Maija Swanson Paul Mack Michelle E. Green Come to the show and hit Bridgeport for the space crawl. Exhibition runs through May 1, 2010. Open by appointment.
