About Misc Projects
Daniel Tucker has worked as a cultural and political organizer in Chicago for the last ten years, initiating a number of large-scale local projects and events. From 2005-2010 he edited AREA Chicago - the print/online publication dedicated to researching and networking local social and cultural movements in Chicago. In 2006 he co-edited the pamphlet "Trashing the Neoliberal City: Autonomous Cultural Practices in Chicago from 2000-2005" with Emily Forman.
He has also worked outside of Chicago as a facilitator for Creative Time, the National Alliance of Media Arts and Culture, and the University of California Institute for Research in the Arts. As a consultant, he has helped non-profit organizations of various sizes evaluate and advance their communications work.
His collaborative projects have been exhibited internationally in venues ranging from Mass MoCA to public parks and his writings have appeared in Chicago Journal, Clamor, Proximity, BootPrint, Next American City, H-Art, Art Agenda, the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest and in the books "A Guide to Democracy in America" (2008), "Experimental Geography" (2009), and "Uses of a Whirlwind: Movement, Movements, & Contemporary Radical Currents in the United States" (2010). In 2008 he co-organized "Town Hall Meetings" with Nato Thompson, for which 100 socially-engaged artists in 5 cities were interviewed. He has lectured widely about the intersections of art and politics. Look for his forthcoming book of interviews with activist farmers, Farm Together Now, (with co-author Amy Franceschini) to be released by Chronicle books in November 2010.
Tucker roasts coffee on a grill and lives on the northwest side of Chicago with his companion Lauren and works out of the former darkroom of In These Times magazine.
