Finished nine books last night to support North Branch Projects in Albany Park, Chicago! Selling these 4″ x 6″ all slightly different: red, dark blue, bright blue, grey, hand gridded, and hand marbled papers used. I think this grey book cloth is becoming one of my favorites.

North Branch Projects Presents
Performing Negotiations
Exhibition Opening & Reception

Chicago, IL – North Branch Projects is pleased to present Performing Negotiations, an evening of performance works featuring Amanda Stefanski and Raena Mann, Kat Meyers, Paul Shortt, Rebecca Kling, Steven Aron, and Sophia Rizvi. The exhibition includes multidisciplinary and collaborative performances.
We negotiate to perform, and we perform to negotiate.
This exhibition creates a space for visual dialogue and offers interaction between artists and participants of diverse personal identity regarding past and present circumstance, daily life and ritual, sexuality, gender, race, and religion. Negotiation is experienced through interactions and realized through personal reflection. Our experiences may be uniquely our own, yet negotiation is necessary.
The exhibition exists on the evening of September 28th at North Branch Projects, located four blocks west of the Kimball Brown Line stop, #81 Lawrence and #82 Kimball Bus lines.
North Branch North Branch is an independently run project space located in Albany Park that serves as a community bookbinding facility. The space provides an outlet for exploring the creative process in a neighborhood where few resources exist for the arts. There are two major components to the space:
The first is an ongoing community binding project that serves as the foundation for all of the work being created. Free to all, these gatherings have participants working on a collaborative hand-made book archive, binding individuals together quite literally in a group workshop setting.
The second is an entrepreneurial venture that funds the majority of the community binding efforts. Various book-making workshops are held in the bindery and custom-made books and related objects are sold in conjunction with the bindery’s goals of promoting art to the general public.

Performing Negotiations: A Showcase of Performance Art Hosted at North Branch Projects
September 28, 2012
Deadline for Submission: August 31, 2012
Curated by Amy Sinclair and Millicent Bradleigh
How do we negotiate? Or use performance to negotiate? How does performance present an argument? Is a Performance a dialog or a declaration? Is performance a negotiation with the audiences, a culture or with your own ideas? How do you find yourself negotiating with a person of a different neighborhood, culture, or circumstance? How do we benefit from negotiation?
These are the questions that we are looking to explore through a night of performance art hosted at North Branch Projects.
Performances involving the Book Arts, and work that engages the audience and the community of Albany Park are preferred. For their continuity with the mission of North Branch, proposals that engage the theme in alternative ways will also be considered. Performances can be staged for anywhere from a few minutes to a night-long durational piece.
