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 artists of color, offering a platform for radical storytelling, artistic experimentation, and cultural resistance.
Previously stationed in Logan Square, the new focus is to cultivate a modular environment suited for several artistic mediums including photography, painting, sculpture, fiber, and more. Artists should feel empowered to explore, assemble, and deconstruct their practice, free from censorship or harassment.
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.

2023
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
