Version is the most important time of the year for many of us at the C-PS., Lumpen, etc.. We dedicate a lot of time and effort in bringing the future of the art worlds to the city of Chicago. We hope you will join us these next few weeks to experience some of what you will become more familiar with in years to come. It's our labor of love. We want to share it with you.

On opening nite Philly- based Space 1026 ( http://space1026.com/) artists create an installation of prints along with a collaborative element of an exquisite corpse canvas. They come armed with screens for a live silkscreen event on-site. Bring a shirt or whatever you want silk screened.

There will also be some live music by Philly bands.
