Way back in 1991, a zine was born in Champaign, Illinois called The Lumpen Times. The creators would go on to relaunch it in Chicago in 1993, and over time this underground magazine out of Chicago would lead them to build a Community of the Future.
Through the certainty of chance, collective engagement, casual encounters, and accidental actions, The Lumpen Times, became the hub for a series of cultural platforms spawning hundreds of projects, spaces, happenings, exhibitions, and initiatives. Some projects were often short-lived, but as each receded, inevitably it fueled a new one in its wake.
