Temporary Services

Temporary Services is a Chicago-based art group comprised of three individuals: Brett Bloom, Marc Fischer, and Salem Collo-Julin.“The distinction between art practice and other creative human endeavors is irrelevant to us.” Temporary Services strives to create participatory art-related projects that link issues of aesthetics and ethics in a context outside that of an institutional or commercial setting. They are intent on bringing art and creative issues to people who may never have participated in an art project before, or people who may feel excluded from contemporary art.

Brett, Mark, and Salem speak to us about the ways in which the content of their intervention art practices are complimented by the DIY organizational model of their collective.
