Mural on Wood/18th in the neighborhood of Pilsen

The Smithsonian Magazine focuses on the delicious food our lovely neighborhood has to offer, while The Sun-Times calls us "hipster-frequented." That's cool, but we're really waiting for the day when we are ""celebrity-frequented," or more specifically, "Oprah-frequented."

Public Collectors

Sunday, April 26, 2009


Public Collectors consists of informal agreements where collectors allow the contents of their collection to be published and permit those who are curious to directly experience the objects in person. Participants must be willing to type up an inventory of their collection, provide a means of contact and share their collection with the public. Collectors can be based in any geographic location.

Luckily, most of the current collectors are based in Chicago! The project is administrated by Marc Fisher (Temporary Services).

We recommend checking out Anthony Elms' artist book collection, which includes some of our favorite publications by Daniel Buren, Fischli and Weiss, Rodney Graham, and Richard Prince, among many others.
