Led by Ground Floor catalog essayist Caroline Picard, this panel discussion gathers some of Chicago’s top young talent in Ground Floor artists Jeremy Bolen, Tony Lewis, Eric May, and Shane Ward as they confront the relevance of their own art practice within large art world contexts. Post-MFA, each of these artists defines–for themselves as well as larger audiences–the connections between their production and current trends and art world concerns.

This event is free and open to the public.
