Since 1994, Hamza Walker has served as Director of Education for The Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago - a non-collecting museum devoted to contemporary art. He also writes and has had articles and reviews published in such publications as Trans, New Art Examiner, Parkett and Artforum.
The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago is one of the country’s premiere exhibition spaces devoted exclusively to contemporary art. Founded in 1915 as a non-collecting museum, it has mantained the same mission - to promote developments in contemporary visual art through exhibitions and related events (lectures, concerts, readings, performances, film and video screenings) designed to broaden the context for a given artist’s work. Over the past few decades, The Society has developed a reputation for providing local, national and internationally recognized artists their first museum exhibitions, simultaneously bringing the world to Chicago and presenting Chicago to the world. The Renaissance Society has been a platform for many interesting video installations and work of photographers such as Laura Letinsky and Ben Gest (not to mention countless other international artists in other mediums).
