People Projects: A Photo Anthology

A bunch of boxes that are sitting on the floor


From October 2006 – October 2008, a live/work/music venue/art space called People Projects lived and thrived in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood.

Over the course of those two years some amazing indie acts played there, including(but not limited to):

  • Maps and Atlases
  • Matt and Kim
  • Black Ladies
  • Juiceboxxx
  • Totally Michael
  • The Death Set
  • Vivian Girls
  • Karma With A K
  • Rahim
  • Make Believe.

And if a show wasn’t going on you could almost bet there was a gallery show up front (curated by PP resident, Ryan Duggan) or a party spilling into the alleyway.

I went to their last gallery show on Saturday, September 7th to bid People Projects adieu and capture the final remains.

Nothing clean is legendary…
