CHICAGO—EXPO CHICAGO, The International Exposition of Contemporary and Modern Art, concluded its seventh edition on Sunday, September 30, with record attendance of 38,000 visitors, exceptional presentations from exhibiting galleries and strong sales, in what was its most global edition to date. On opening day alone, the exposition welcomed 8,000 VIP guests while raising money to benefit the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago during Vernissage. Collectors, curators, artists and art enthusiasts enjoyed an exclusive first look at 135 leading galleries from 27 countries and 63 cities throughout Navy Pier’s iconic Festival Hall.

“We are extremely grateful for the many successes of our participating exhibitors, as well as the overwhelmingly positive response to our critically acclaimed programming and our commitment to making Chicago in September the place to be for national and international curators,” said EXPO CHICAGO President | Director Tony Karman. “I am equally proud that our seventh edition alignment with The Terra Foundation for American Art’s year-long initiative Art Design Chicago, contributing to an extraordinary week of international art and design events and exhibitions and highlighted by Hans Ulrich Obrist’s Creative Chicago marathon,” he added. “There is no city in the world that collaborates like Chicago and that attitude coupled with the incredible support and involvement of our cultural institutions, collectors, galleries and artists ensures that we will continue to welcome the world together in support of our exhibitors and the work being done in contemporary and modern art today.”

Featuring one of the most rigorous and challenging platforms for contemporary art and culture, under the leadership of EXPO CHICAGO Director of Programming Stephanie Cristello, dynamic programming engaged visitors throughout Chicago, including the /Dialogues Symposium, Present Histories: Art & Design in Chicago, created in partnership with The Terra Foundation for American Art’s year-long initiative Art Design Chicago and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago; curator Pablo León de la Barra’s immersive IN/SITU installation series, transforming Navy Pier’s Festival Hall; curator Anna Gritz’s engaging EXPO VIDEO presentation; Daata Editions’ curation of sound pieces for EXPO Sound; EXPO CHICAGO and the City of Chicago’s citywide outdoor installations IN/SITU Outside and OVERRIDE | A Billboard Project presented in partnership with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE); the Art Critics Forum discussion of “Criticism and the Image;” the engagement of over 30 curators in the Curatorial Forum in partnership with Independent Curators International (ICI); and the expansion and implementation of the Curatorial Exchange program.

EXPO CHICAGO welcomed back many returning galleries for 2018 as well as several new additions, whose curated and ambitious presentations drew critical praise. Exhibitors expressed that they received strong support from the greater Midwest collector base in addition to a high volume of nationally and internationally notable collectors, museum curators and institutions.

Curatorial Forum

In an effort to draw leaders from top institutions to the exposition, EXPO CHICAGO once again hosted the Curatorial Forum, welcoming more than 30 mid-career and established curators for the third year. Participating institutions included Beta-Local, California African American Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, CCA Wattis, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, Frost Museum of Art, Handwerker Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Museum of the African Diaspora, New Orleans Museum of Art, Oklahoma City Museum of Art, On the Boards, Pace Gallery, Phoenix Art Museum, Pinacoteca de São Paulo, Row House, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Spelman College Museum, Stamps Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art, Ulrich Museum of Art, University of Illinois in Chicago School of Art & Art History and Whitney Museum of American Art.

The Forum also included a private Symposium in partnership with Independent Curators International (ICI), in addition to a series of break-out sessions focused on critical questions relevant to contemporary practice and context, led by internationally recognized leaders in the field. The Symposium featured key note speaker Jochen Volz, the General Director of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo.

“For the third year running, Independent Curators International (ICI) and EXPO CHICAGO partnered on the Curatorial Forum, bringing more than 30 curators from across the United States and beyond to the fair with three days of curatorial programs. We were thrilled to continue our collaboration with the Graham Foundation, and this year with the Logan Center. The key note lecture by Jochen Volz, Director of Pinacoteca de Sao Paulo, set the tone for the Forum, bringing forth various models of commissioning and working with artists to bring joy, articulate arguments, build an audience and produce new realities. This year’s Forum was an inspiring experience that, we hope, will lead to new collaborations and continued exchange among the participating curators.”

— Renaud Proch | Executive Director, Independent Curators International

Curatorial Exchange

This year EXPO CHICAGO built upon a pilot program initiated in 2013 by EXPO CHICAGO, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in Chicago and the Institut Français, and officially launched the Curatorial Exchange program, an unprecedented international initiative developed in partnership with foreign consulates and cultural agencies. The Curatorial Exchange offered select mid-career and established curators based around the world the opportunity to engage closely with their peers, convening as part of a four-day program that included access to exhibitions, top private collections, artist studios, museums and institutions during EXPO CHICAGO.

In 2018, the Curatorial Exchange brought curators from China (supported by the China Arts and Entertainment Group), Denmark (supported by the Danish Ministry for Culture and Danish Ministry for Foreign Affairs), France (supported by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in Chicago), Italy (supported by the Italian Cultural Institute) and The Netherlands (supported by the Dutch Culture USA program by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York). Participating curators included Senior Research Fellow of the National Museum of China Chen Lyusheng (China); Curator of the China Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale Dr. Li Xiangning (China); National Art Museum of China’s Curator of the Curatorial and Research Department Liu Chunfeng (China); CAPC Bordeaux Chief Curator Alice Motard (France); Independent Curator and 89plus Europe, Africa and India Director Julie Boukobza (France); GAMeC – Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea Chief Curator Alessandro Rabottini (Italy); MART Museum of Trento/Rovereto Director Gianfranco Maraniello (Italy); and Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht Curator of Contemporary Art Paula van den Bosch (The Netherlands).
