Gaze at the Moon

Why do we gaze at the Moon? What is the energy that connects the moon, the earth, and its inhabitants? Gaze at the Moon delves into the relationship between architecture, space, and humanity. The phases of the moon in November 2023, the period of ART on THE MART's exhibition, will be projected onto THE MART building. The scale, shadows, and light of the display beckon us closer and farther away at the same time. 

As part of its 2023 ‘Season of Light,’ ART on THE MART partners with students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) on a new projection under the direction of Jan Tichy and Austen Brown, Professors at SAIC. The work, titled 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙜, is on view from November 16 until December 30, 2023, nightly at 8.00pm CT.
This project is also a partner of Chicago Architecture Biennial CAB 5 (2023)
