About me: Polvo is a collective which consists of Miguel Cortez, Elvia Rodriguez-Ochoa and Jesus Macarena-Avila. Polvo's history includes organizing artistic and cultural venues with Chicago/Pilsen-based community spaces. In addition to venues, the collective generated a magazine focused on arts and culture followed by an online website that initiated an international array of visual artists, writers, and cultural critics (Polvo maintained a Pilsen gallery space in 1999). They opened another space in February 2003, and since then the collective has organized and curated art exhibits at that space until December 2007. There they showcased contemporary art including installation projects, new media and performance by a diverse group of emerging and established artists. After 2007 Polvo will focus more on curatorial projects as well as the magazine and web projects.
