Scott Reeder, 2003

Reeder transforms the gallery into a locus of active cultural production by creating a dance club set and green screen shooting area for his upcoming feature film Moon Dust. During the exhibition shooting will take place with the films actors incorporating members of the UIC community and the gallery going public.

Six one-person or artist-curated exhibitions taking a risk. At The Edge unveils newly created works that are difficult to show in commercial spaces, that extend a working artist's practice, and/or push the boundaries of art experimentation. This is the second year of annual At The Edge exhibitions intended to encourage the most innovative aspects of the Chicago art community's current dynamism. Special thanks to the jury that selected this year's At The Edge projects: Danielle Gustafson-Sundell (artist and co-director of Deluxe Projects), Paul Ha (Executive Director, Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis), Kevin Kaempf (artist), Jennifer Reeder (artist and UIC faculty member), and Lorelei Stewart (Director, Gallery 400). A triennial catalogue featuring all At The Edge projects and essays by area writers will be published in 2004.
