Established in 2007 by Chicago-based artist, writer, educator and curator Dan Devening, Devening Projects features a diverse group of emerging and established international artists. Devening has been living and working in Chicago since 1980 — teaching painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and curating exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally. Focused on site-specific installations and thoughtful artist pairings, the gallery puts represented artists in direct conversation with emerging voices, letting the work speak across experience and geography. Devening Projects is the anchor of a growing gallery scene on Chicago’s West Side. Devening Projects also publishes experimental artists’ editions and multiples under the “Devening Editions” moniker.
