Second Bedroom's photostream

Created by Chris Smith and Irene Perez, Second Bedroom is a project space that encourages risk taking and experimentation as long as the intended project can operate without resulting in the loss of Chris Smith's security deposit and/or an eviction from his apartment. Second Bedroom, located in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, is an approximately 7 by 12 foot space with 10 foot ceilings and an intruding Chicago Police Department flashing blue light.
The initiative at Second Bedroom is to provide an individual exhibition space for an emerging artist for a specific project. The exhibit should not be of previous work but a place to carry out a project that deals with the many attributes of the space while relating to the individuals' art practice. Our hope is that artists will take this as an opportunity to help them develop as artists and to take initiative for promoting them-selves with the intention of advancing their practice.
