About the program
Showcasing images of fabric, blankets and bedding at use in domestic spaces, alongside images of raw materials and construction, this dual projection mirrors the open form of Jason Campbell’s The Linen Closet and echoes its commemoration of homemaking as an improvisational and ritual practice of creation. Projected onto each side of the installation’s cedar frame, Making Home turns The Linen Closet into an impromptu cinema where visitors can interact with the archived material of past homes. (15 min compilation x2, looping, simultaneous projection)
Join Arts + Public Life for a conversation with artist Jason Campbell, Jacqueline Stewart (Director, South Side Home Movie Project) and Avery LaFlamme (Producer, South Side Home Movie Project) in Studio Sean Canty’s Regal Reverb installation in the adjacent Exhibit Hall. This installation serves as the Speakers Corner for the Chicago Architecture Biennial—a space for talks, performances, and gathering. Its design draws inspiration from the former Regal Theater in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood, a major hub of Black culture and music in the 20th century.
