Art Chicago 2002

Art Chicago, Chicago

America's finest international exposition of modern and contemporary art.
May 10 -13, 2002

Art Chicago 2002, from May 10 -13 at Navy Pier's Festival Hall, marks the tenth annual international contemporary art fair produced by Thomas Blackman Associates. Please join us in celebrating America's foremost international art show, where over 200 distinguished galleries from around the world will assemble in Chicago to exhibit and sell the works of over 3,000 artists. No other venue in this country offers such a dynamic and concise survey of contemporary art to the public.

International Invitational
Many of the Invitational participants made their inaugural appearances in the United States at Art Chicago 2001. Each of the galleries focus on a particular spectrum of current issues and trends that are electrifying the contemporary art world, presenting an exciting opportunity for curators, collectors, critics and artists to see the latest work emerging on the international art scene.

Project Spaces
18 artists were selected to have special installations located adjacent to their respective gallery's booth within the exposition. These customized installation spaces will include gallery-sponsored projects involving two-dimensional artwork, sculpture, video, performance and electronics in any combination.

Metropolis
An exhibition of international artwork curated by Peter Doroshenko of the Institute of Visual Arts (inova) in Milwaukee. The 20 artists selected for Metropolis examine the tension between the urban and the individual, the collision of nature and artifice, and the changing parameters of large urban environments.
