@ The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
280 S Columbus Dr, Chicago, IL 60603
On view through Wednesday, December 31st
Amy Franceschini is a pollinator who creates formats for exchange and production that question and challenge the social, cultural, and environmental systems that surround her. An overarching theme in her work is a perceived conflict between humans and nature. Her projects reveal the ways that local politics are affected by globalization. In 1995 Franceschini founded Futurefarmers, an international collective of artists; in 2004 she co-founded Free Soil, a collective of artists, activists, researchers, and gardeners who work together to propose alternatives to the social and political organization of space.
