History

Hands on Chicago is a neighborhood guide to the city.

The ARC Digest is meant to archive in print the activities of Chicago’s artist-run spaces between 1999-2009. It acts both as a companion to the exhibition and an extension of that project with interviews by Dan Gunn, essays by Abigail Satinsky, The Pond, Scott Speh and John Neff, Mary Jane Jacob and Lori Waxman, and an accompanying audio program by Bad At Sports featuring an interview with Temporary Services and a panel of Chicago artist-run media organizers.

"Here we are at the dawn of a Trump era. President Orangeface, President Troll, is the elected leader of the United States of America and we still cannot believe it. Months after his electoral overthrow we still find ourselves stressed, depressed, and completely on edge about what this means for our collective futures." - issue introduction
