I went to the MDW fair, it was great, I like how it incorporate various types of works including video and performance. I really enjoy the performance part, it is very different from other art fairs, the space is very studio like which I like the building space itself more.

CHICAGO: Formed in spring 2011 as a collaborative project between the
Public Media Institute, Document, Roots & Culture and threewalls,
the MDW Fair is a showcase for independent art initiatives, spaces,
galleries and artist groups, highlighting artist-run activities and
experimental culture locally, nationally and internationally. Featuring
more than 75 exhibitors, publishers and performers, the MDW Fair is the
world’s premier event for grassroots and independent
art culture. Utilizing Mana Contemporary Art Center’s newly opened
branch in Chicago, MDW has a packed schedule of performances, artist
projects, and events over the course of the weekend.
The third iteration of MDW is an expanded edition, bringing together
artist-run spaces, publishers, and programmers from across the country
demonstrating the diversity, strength and vision of the people/places
making it happen in the independent arts ecology. The MDW Fair is a
manifestation of the collective spirit behind the region’s most
innovative visual cultural organizers, focusing on the breadth of work
done here by artists and arts-facilitators alike.
