                                          of the Sublime – Or Not” is a
                                          two-week residency focused on
                                          refection and critical
                                          thinking.  A space has been
                                          built for artists to reflect,
                                          contemplate, and muse. An

                                        came into its own in 2006,
                                        initially envisioned as an
                                        outlet for video. Frustrated by
                                        the meager showing of video art
                                        in Chicago, as compared to NY,
                                        London, and Berlin, we saw an
                                        opening LiveBox could fill. As
                                        LiveBox grew, working with
                                        numerous artists locally and
                                        internationally, our interests
                                        evolved. New Media, alternative
                                        sound, performance, and the
                                        cross-pollination of multiple
                                        disciplines became our passion.
                                        We championed projects that were
                                        marginalized, due to their
                                        non-commercial status. 
                                        Last year LiveBox produced the
                                        thrilling series “Subtitles”
                                        that brought together
                                        alternative music, authors, and
                                        video artists, creating hybrid
                                        performances every 3rd 
                                        Friday at Three Walls in

                                          year we have a new focus.
                                          After years of curating
                                          exhibitions and happenings, we
                                          are now committing our
                                          energies to the dynamics of
                                          creating art, specifically
                                          focusing on the process of
                                          critical thinking and sustained
                                          resolve.
