Uss Gallery Nomadic Projects has two new mini-spaces designed by by Chris J. Staats, Satellite Space Astra 5 and Breakaway Space Astra 5A. Both spaces are named after the failed Astra 5A commercial telecommunications satellite, currently drifting in an uncontrolled orbit around the earth.
Breakaway Space Astra 5A is now open and accepting work. This is an open-curated space and anyone is allowed to install work, until the Astra 5A falls to earth. The Breakaway Space is located in the backyard at 1620 North Richmond Street in the Humboldt Park Neighborhood of Chicago. There is no need to contact Uss Gallery Nomadic Projects to install work. But if you would like to text or call, before or after installation, contact Gregory Fitzsimmons at 312-508-2591.
Satellite Space Astra 5 will be open beginning in the winter of 2016 for 6-month artist residencies. Artists in-residence will use the space for installations and programming, with support from Uss Gallery Nomadic Projects.
