Expo Chicago (September, 18 to 21, 2014) has announced curators for In/Situ and the Expo Video program at the 2014 fair. The former is curated by Renaud Proch. In/Situ is the Expo's "public space" art--outside the confines of exhibitor booths. In a way it knits the fair together.
Proch was the Senior Director at Project in NYC, a co-founder of Art2102 in Los Angeles. Proch is also founder of the backroom, an archive/research project presented in five cities throughout Mexico, France and the USA. He has curated a variety of impressive projects around the globe.
The video program at Expo Chicago 2014 is to be curated by Astria Suparak. Expo Video, comprised of curated viewing stations in the hall, will feature three stations with videos from artists associated with exhibiting galleries. A fourth viewing station will feature work by students from Chicago's Columbia College. Suparak has curated screenings, performances and live music events and exhibitions for art spaces, academic venues and film festivals around the world.
Expo Chicago is in its third year and is the rebirth of the high end fine art fair in the city. It was a welcome return and seems poised to perhaps be that proverbial "tide that raises all boats." Others seem to have caught on that having multiple events at the same time can attract more visitors and make Chicago more of an art destination. Find out more at www.expochicago.com.
