Upcoming Exhibition
Randolph Street Gallery Archives
May 15 - August 15, 2012.
Organized by Andrew Blackley
The Randolph Street Gallery, located in Chicago, was a notable force in the visual and performing arts during its operation 1979-98. The organization existed as a laboratory and advocate for experimental practices in the Midwest as well as a hub in the network of alternative art-spaces nationally and internationally. The organization’s commitment to performance, community involvement, and experimental studio practices lead to their hosting emerging and mid-career artists who are now recognized as having been important participants during the 1980s through the present day.
In addition to being a performance venue and exhibition space, Randolph Street Gallery was also the publisher of P-form: Performance Art Magazine (1986-99), an early and significant platform for criticism and coverage of the still-developing form.
After the organization’s closure, the Randolph Street Gallery archives were assumed by the John M. Flaxman Library at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This is the first exhibition to address the materials publicly.
Randolph Street Gallery Archives features original source materials and facsimiles of administrative documents, ephemera, and publications by Eleanor Antin, Art Parts, Ron Athey, Robert Blanchon, Janet Cardiff, Vaginal Davis, Deep Dish TV, Charles Dennis, Bob Eisen, Coco Fusco, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Dan Graham, Group Material, Rebecca Horn, Eileen Myles, Catherine Opie, Jorge Pardo, Adrian Piper, Pomo Afro Homos, Marlon Riggs, Joe Scanlan, Stuart Sherman, Danny Tisdale, David Wheeler, among others.
The exhibition will be augmented by public programs aiming to address the significance of the period in Chicago, as well as practical and methodological dialogues with New York’s downtown arts-scene of the 1970s through the early 1990s.
Additionally, materials from the Fales Library Downtown Collection will constitute Downtown Study Center, a complimentary exhibition hosted by the John M. Flaxman Library at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago July 2 – August 19, 2012.

The Critical Topics in Food Series
For the past five years the Fales Library, NYU's Department of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, along with Clark Wolf of Clark Wolf Company, Inc. have planned a series of public, scholarly panels and events highlighting current topics in food. These highly popular programs, ranging from such topics as "water," to the ethics of gourmet dining, to the "Farm Bill," are viewable here.
They have become important pedagogical tools and are used in classrooms to stimulate discussions about food.
