Jennifer Breckner tries to incorporate Bartleby the Scrivener’s mantra of “I would prefer not to” into the fabric of each day but somehow ends up with more tasks to complete. She has served in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Art Institute of Chicago where she skillfully organized exhibition openings, special events, and lectures with an international array of architects and designers. She causes great exasperation to design students as an adjunct professor of modern and contemporary art history at Harrington College of Design. From 2008-2009 she co-organized Sunday Soup, along with members of InCUBATE, which was a popular monthly meal in Chicago that served as a vibrant social space, a site for the presentation of work by artists, activists and scholars, and a micro-granting project that has been emulated worldwide. In 2012 she worked to earn her Master of Arts in Modern Art History, Theory, and Criticism from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. (Photo credit: Jason Creps Photography)
