Gallery 400 At The Edge

Calling All Artists/Designers/Architects/Performance Artists/New Media Artists:

For six years Gallery 400 has presented an annual series of commissioned projects entitled At the Edge. The project was originally initiated to support artists’ projects and has sponsored projects ranging from an off-site store to gallery installations, from a public performance to a CD compilation, from curatorial projects to websites. This year, in an effort to expand the gallery’s reach and scope, the gallery is expanding the call to include architecture, design and new media and projects that exist between these disciplines, as well as between them and art.

Inquiry, experimentation and ingenuity are the basis of At the Edge. As Chicago’s artistic, architectural and design scene continues to be an expansive, resourceful and energetic creative arena, Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois at Chicago encourages the most innovative aspects of that dynamism. We are looking to work with individuals ready to take a conceptual, political, speculative or aesthetic risk. Propose a project you might not be able to realize elsewhere, one you never thought could get made. More..
