ABOUT
SPACE 01 is a Black-owned, artist-run gallery located on the west side of Chicago, dedicated to uplifting underrepresented artists and fostering a community-driven creative space. We prioritize the work of women, queer, trans, and BIPOC artists, offering a platform for radical storytelling, artistic experimentation, and cultural resistance.
The space is proudly operated by Trejon D’Angelo, a photographer, musician, and pastry chef raised in Dallas, TX. With a passion for storytelling and community engagement, Trejon curates SPACE 01 programming to amplify emerging artists while cultivating a space for artistic and social resistance.
For donations, booking, and inquiries please email info@s01.world.
MISSION:
More than just a gallery, SPACE 01 operates as a hub for collaboration, education, and advocacy. We host exhibitions, screenings, workshops, and fundraising events that challenge systemic injustices while celebrating resilience and artistic expression. Our programming reflects the urgency of the moment — whether responding to censorship, colonial violence, or the erasure of marginalized voices, we create space for artists to be seen, heard, and supported.
Through partnerships with local artists, collectives, and grassroots organizations, SPACE 01 continues to push the boundaries of what an art space can be. Whether you're here to experience thought-provoking exhibitions, connect with a thriving creative community, or contribute to the movement, SPACE 01 is a home for those who believe in the power of art as a tool for change.

This comfort depends on overwhelming decay
Constantly wanting more
The race to satisfy every new need
In an instant, it’s forever
Plastic image will outlive your body
If I were to really look at you, I would have to stop hurting you
Your body is embraced by the Earth and nurtures seeds to sprout
Our roots dig deeper
In the dark, we look and listen to each other
Every breath in and out, a rejection of the systems that harm
New shapes break through intolerable structures
All empires fall
We will play in the sun again
