The Organic Art Factory was formed as an artistic collective in 1998 under the guidance of (pk), an entity that exists in the thirdspace of the relationship between the artists who have at various times been known as p. francis & Kristin, Kate & Paul, Beau & Lily, and Ruby & Cash (thus far and as of Fall 2009). The OAFactory has also performed as the Country and Western band, Billy.
The OAFactory has worked as a single artistic entity since 2005, when they were admitted on full scholarship to the Performance Department of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Over the past three years they have done live performances at venues including The Bridge Art Fair in NYC, California State University – Los Angeles, The Chicago Cultural Center, Sullivan Galleries, Links Hall, and Gallery2 in Chicago. Their work has been exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, as well as multiple galleries across the United States and abroad.
The OAFactory is currently operating Fishbowl, an experimental live/work project space located at 2341 W. Taylor St. in the Tri-Taylor neighborhood of Chicago.
