Thursday January 15th 2009 is Unofficially "Notes for a People's Atlas of Chicago" day on the northwest side of Chicago.
Join AREA Chicago in Wicker Park (Chicago) this coming Thursday January 15th for two events related to our Notes for a People's Atlas of Chicago project. The first is a collaboration with Around the Coyote Festival (Funded by the Wicker Park SSA #33) which involves an exhibition of all of our Peoples Atlas of Chicago maps at the Wicker Park Field House (1425 N Damen Ave, Chicago) from 5-8pm. Then head down the street from 8pm-10pm to STOP SMILING Magazine's Storefront (1371 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL) where we will be celebrating the release of "Experimental Geography" a book by Melville House Publishing about mapping and art that features AREA's Peoples Atlas project. AREA's People's Atlas work is partially supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Contact areachicago@gmail.com for more information
