Ornament & Information

Opening Reception at Chicago Rooms, Chicago Cultural Center Ornament & Information presents artists working in Chicago and Vienna whose practices explore the historic intellectual exchange between the two cities — from modern architecture to mid-century economic thought. Through sculpture, painting and conceptual approaches, the exhibition reflects on how ideas evolve as they move between cultural contexts. The exhibition is curated in partnership with Gertie Chicago and featured artists include Anna Sophie Berger, Gaylen Gerber, Benjamin Hirte, B. Ingrid Olson, Devin T. Mays, Max Guy, Josef Strau, Isabelle Frances McGuire, Walter Pichler, Diane Simpson, Miriam Stoney, Valentina Triet, Micah Schippa Wildfong, Heimo Zobernig. Public programs include an opening reception on Friday, April 10, 6-7pm in the Chicago Rooms and additional performances and artist-led events throughout the exhibition duration. The first performance will be held Saturday, April 11, at 3 p.m. inside the Chicago Rooms.
