Following the Common Field Convening’s Saturday sessions, Public Media Institute will present a series of experimental after-party events to help gather far-flung attendees. Online social spaces and performances via Twitch & Zoom from 8pm until late in the hopes of fostering the kinds of connections and conversations that happen after a day of panels at the real life conference. Concerts, games, break out party rooms, special guests and more await, in an experience guided by Lumpen’s Jeremiah Chiu and Team Precariat’s Brandon Alvendia.

PARTY 2: ZOOM/TWITCH HANGOUT WITH ARTISTS WHO RUN CHICAGO
On Twitch.tv/TeamPrecariat Organized by Brandon Alvendia
Team Precariat introduces experimental art structures into the emergent live media space of internet streaming culture. The Common Field official events will play with the conventions of conventions, team-building, forced creativity, managerial oversight, employee optimization through mindfulness, and "fun" in the workplace. Office Casual.
With guest co-hosts from Chicago’s artist run spaces. ACRE, ADDS DONNA, Annas Apparatus Projects, Chicago Art Department, D Gallery, dfbrl8r, Ignition project space, Marimacha Monarca Press, No Nation, Prairie, Roots & Culture, Slow Gallery, The Franklin, VGA Gallery
Zoom will be utilized as a public hang out space and experimental party zone. Using Common Field’s robust Zoom infrastructure, break out room roulettes, DJ sets, cliquing off, and cocktail parties will all be attempted if not perfectly replicated, as we try to find a way to make this work-imbued platform into a site of leisure and fun. Maybe it’s possible!
Sign-up for twitch and follow twitch.tv/lumpenradio & twitch.tv/teamprecariat to follow these after parties and other weekly programming and hang outs.
The after party events for the 2020 Common Field Convening are supported by Brandon Alvendia, who runs @TeamPrecariat, and Jeremiah Chiu, who will host @LumpenRadio on Twitch, besides the Public Media Institute administrative team. Brandon Alvendia and Jeremiah Chiu are, respectively, the Quarantine Times Saturday and Wednesday editors. Each week, Brandon and Jeremiah each select a Chicagoan to share a commissioned creative response to the pandemic.
