"Spoke is a small collaborative enterprise interested in maintaining a spirit of resourcefulness, spontaneity, experimentation, access rather than exclusion, and interaction. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for creative individuals and groups to produce unique and innovative projects, events, performances, workshops, exhibitions and creative endeavors of all kinds." -Spoke www.spokechicago.blogspot.com.
Very inspired by Spoke as well as their booth at Version. I have been talking to several artists and organizations about starting a similar space in St Louis that would incorporate documentation, an artist residency for collaboration/community with the existing art scene and neighborhood as well as a gallery focusing on challenging work relevant to issues in St Louis. I think a space like this compliments the spirit of collaboration already existing in St Louis, specifically Cherokee St. In May I will be hosting the first visiting artist in my apartment. In upcoming months I hope to obtain a building to house the project. Thanks to everyone for your support so far! If anyone is interested please contact me.
