In its fourth year, Force and Motion’s August 2023 season engages artists in the task of collectivity. How do the relationships we build in turn build the work we engage in? This year around and within SCAFFOLD, three Chicago-based performance collectives in different iterations of collaboration populate the public lawn with work that examines our relationship to one another and the possibilities that can be tapped into through those relationships.

{\}() {\}∆‡!(){\} - Tangential Unspace Art Lab is located at 1542 N Milwaukee Ave Floors 2 and 4:

Since its Foundation in 2010 {\}() {\}∆‡!(){\} has served as a prolific artistic platform for experimental Performance Art and cultural production combining language, image/sound-making,  presentations, screenings, workshops, and a unique 3-6 month live-in Artist-in-residence program. In 2022 we organized thirty exhibitions, where we presented and collaborated with more than 250 artists from Chicago and around the globe.

While existing as a self-maintained/sustained artist-run space, {\}() {\}∆‡!(){\} has worked to foster a local and global border crossing arts network, aiming to contribute to an accessible exchange of ideas that are deeply concerned with critical concepts of socially implanted origins, identity, the affirmation of agency, intimacy, spontaneity, and collaboration in how art is created, discussed and experienced. https://nonationartlab.cargo.site/
