Art projections at Merchandise Mart likely to begin this fall
Chicago Sun-Times: Any artist will be allowed to submit their work for possible projection onto the Merchandise Mart’s 2.6 acre “canvas” when Chicago’s latest public art project kicks off this fall, officials say.
“It’s an artists’ tool that artists could never think about exploring because of the cost of it.” This is such a cool integration of art in the Chicago environment- that is supported by the city, especially as a way to have artists work around the city showcased without any specific brand or sponsor attached to it outside of those creating it. This will definitely be a way for artists that may not have the ability to have their work seen on such a large platform that opportunity. I also love how it is will allow people to continue and integrate the inclusion of different types of design and projection art in other sections of Chicago. I wish this article went in deeper when talking about the “incredibly expensive technology” that allows this to happen- as well how these projectors will be kept in good, working condition and protected, because I feel like it would be fascinating to hear about.
