Hot House

Description

The Center for International Performance and Exhibition (C.I.P.E.X.) is celebrating its eighteenth year presenting multi-arts events and showcasing high caliber artists from throughout the world. We believe in the value of progressive cultural programming and focus on local, national, and international artists whose work would otherwise remain under-recognized and isolated. We choose to position ourselves at the margin of the mainstream, and seek to promote the widening of the cultural market place in Chicago.HotHouse has historically also provided a number of resources to artists and other groups who need a venue for their own activities and in that regard makes every effort to make the space available to parties interested in their own self-produced activities. Our organization is primarily interested in curating cultural and social activities that bolster the prominence of artists working in the margins of the commercial market and intentionally program events that showcase contemporary, avant-garde, and under-recognized art forms, artists, and progressive social movements.It is the organizations priority to curate events and develop audiences for dis-enfranchised cultural voices as well as the more esoteric and difficult creative ambitions that by their nature and intent may never have mass commercial appeal. Inherent in the organizations guiding tenets, is the belief that the production and enjoyment of art and other intellectual pursuits should be made available to all economic classes and to that end our organization strives to ensure that working class and poorer people have access to first rate production resources and the opportunity to participate in cultural events by making them affordable and accessible.
