Bread & Butter is a research and performance project that seeks to empower independent artists to advocate for the sustainability of our artistic community and create dialogue between those who create art, and those who consume it. The work features the voices of local artists speaking candidly about the idea of artistic wealth, worth and personal experiences as independent artists. Part live performance, part interactive sound installation and part open community forum, this collaborative venture between Chicago Musician, Nicholas Davio and Dance Artist Cristina Tadeo explores artistic labor, worth and the perceived value of art as commodity, and community.
