Progress is a word that is commonly used to suggest a movement forward, development, etc. LIP is seeking visual art that interprets and explores definitions of "progress" (what kind of development, what kind of movement forward), as well as work that critiques or represents thoughts, ideas and visions that reference "progress" in relationship to place (i.e. changing, hopes for change, or lack of changes in neighborhoods, cities, states, world, etc.).
All medium will be accepted, but must be able to hang on a wall.

LIP (Life in Progress): LIP asks local artists to explore definitions of progress, visions of progress, or critiques of "progress", as well as how we progress (in our work, in our art, in our communities, as human beings, in the world, in the city, etc.). During Chicago Artists Month, LIP is showcasing the answers through curated group exhibitions of visual art, a screening of video/film and a public open studio/art-making day (we invite the public into the process of making art with us). The selected venues for LIP are also part of the current everyday landscape of Logan Square, i.e regular places, bars, cafes, empty storefronts and not a traditional gallery settings.
AnySquared is an artist collaborative: participating members are Thommas Berbas, Tracy Kostenbader, Maria Hummel, Mendy Newman, Iris Iris Pasic, Julia Rochholz, Ryan Scheidt, Brett Swinney and others. For more information about AnySquared, visit www.AnySquared.com or email projects@anysquared.com.
