Reception: 4 June 2011, 5:00pm—8:00pm

On View: 4 June 2011—5 June 2011

Drawing on Chicago’s reputation for political favoritism, visiting artist Priscilla Stadler ushers in the city’s first post-Daley mayoral term by bringing favors to the people. Using Mess Hall and ACRE Projects as a base of operations, Stadler will be scheduling and performing favors for residents of the Rogers Park neighborhood in the week before her exhibition, culminating in an artistic documentation of collaborative interactions. Current and former Chicago residents are also invited to contribute a favorite story of political favoritism (historical accuracy optional) as narrative for the FAVORS video. Regardless of your location, everyone is encouraged to do at least one favor between 5/28 and 6/4 and let Priscilla know so that you will be included on the Map of Favors, which will take shape at Mess Hall and on google maps during the week of Favors from 5/28—6/4.
