The world’s largest international trade fair, Neocon, is back in Chicago tonight, June 10th 2014, to celebrate their 10th anniversary and Chicago’s “Day of Design” by hosting the Guerrilla Truck Show at 5:30pm – 9:30pm at the corner of Aberdeen and Fulton Market. The event is hosted by Morlen Sinoway Atelier and offers a creative perspective on gallery space, with artists exhibiting their pieces within the confines of a series of trucks. The Guerrilla Truck Show eventually started out with only 13 exhibition trucks to having 62 for their 9th Annual show last June.

This event is free and no RSVP is needed. Off-site happenings include a showcasing of three events under one roof (948-950 W. Fulton Market): “Chicagoland,” a showcasing of contemporary design work in collaboration with local manufacturers, “Object Society,” an organization of local designers, and SAIC’s “Whatnot,” a channel for experimenting with contemporary design and innovative ideas in design education. Other events include “Swing Set Drum Kit” by Dave Ford with Packer Schofp Gallery located on Fulton Street, an interactive sonic sculpture that encourages people to build rhythmic sounds by means of swinging, and the Chicago Farmers Markets Fulton Market Kick-off on Fulton Street between Green and Peoria. The event will close with an after party at Colab Space on 312 N. Carpenter Street, featuring Kahil Elzabar’s New Ethnic Ensemble.
