CornerProjects Chicago

We are in search of artists/writers/historians who wish to publish work (writing/images/video, etc.) on our upcoming website. Special consideration will be given to works that explore the merger of two seemingly disparate dialogues. Message us or email us with your proposal.

Artist Profile: Hannah Epstein (aka hanski), Toronto, Canada, is a neo-folk media artist working in the bizarre cross-section of experimental game, video, and textile. She has studied philosophy, folklore, and religion, from which she extracts the narrative processes that inform her work. She recently completed her MFA at Carnegie Mellon University.

When she first moved to Toronto in 2010, hanski spent a few years working as a hostess at a swinger's nightclub. These years were considered social research in which the artist observed the swinger's community. In addition to collecting stories, the artist kept earrings lost by women during their drunken nights out. The piece featured in hanski's entry to the Lost/Found Biennial, exists IRL (in real life) as a small hooked rug, holding the earrings until their owners come to claim them.

Well... the Chicago weather has ravaged the Lost/Found Biennial. But regret not, we will reinstall the projects this weekend (with one addition) and be up all next week during a week of (hopefully) no rain.
