Artist on the Lam (online exclusive)
This online exhibition celebrates 10 years of Artist on the Lam. It was on Monday, June 6, 2011, that Jenny Lam published her first post on what would later be voted “Best Arts Blog” in the Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago issue. As part of the celebration, Jenny has curated an international exhibition called DECAHEDRON.
She invited all artists from past shows, invited other artists she admired but hadn’t exhibited yet (likening the process to an episodic TV series where you wander the land embarking on different adventures and meeting different characters, and then in the end you go back and revisit all your old friends and ask them to be part of your heist).
The result? A show with 74 artists, with over 350 works of art.
Hailing from all over Chicago, the country, and the world, DECAHEDRON’s participating artists include:
Adrienne L. Glover, Adrienne Powers, Agnieszka Ligendza, Alba Margarita, Alex Kostiw, Alix Anne Shaw, Allen Vandever, Angie Redmond, Brianna Lynn Hernández Baurichter, Bruce Riley, Caroline Walser, Carrie McGath, Céline Browning, Chad Kouri, Charlene Moy, CHema Skandal!, Chris Silva, Christine Nicklos, Claire Ashley, Clarisse Perrette, Corinne Halbert, Cristy Corso, Czr Prz, Dan Castranova, Danielle Pontarelli, Diane Ponder, Emily Calvo, English Prevo, Glenn Wexler, Hazel R.
