Speakers
“In 2003, an internship at Punk Planet Magazine brought me to Chicago from Switzerland. The experience of meeting the working artists of this city gave me the courage to pursue art and envision what centering a creative life might look like. Highlights of my path have been experiencing how artists’ relationships are generative conversations, radical connections in time, singular and concentrated, and defined by velocious dynamics that have no boundaries. Since 2006, I have pursued a collaborative and experimental practice with Nick Butcher, also known as Sonnenzimmer.” - Nadine Nakanishi
