Reflections on Practice
@ 21c Museum Hotel Chicago
55 E Ontario St, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Friday, December 6th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us for a reception with the artists to celebrate this unique site-specific art installation at 21c Chicago. We’ll start the evening with some wine and conversation before making our way up to Room 921 to view the projection in the intimate space of a hotel room.
On view, from October through December is Reflections on Practice, an exhibition featuring films and video work from Kioto Aoki, Lois Bielefeld, and Yuge Zhou for Elevate: Rm 921. Projected onto a 48-foot wall, the exhibition is only viewable after dusk and from the windows of 21c Chicago guest rooms with interior-facing windows. Designed to showcase immersive and experiential moving-image work in response to the unique space, Elevate: Rm 921 addresses complex issues that shape our diverse and rapidly changing world.
Reflections on Practice is about ritual, performance, and finding meaning in the everyday. Kioto Aoki, Lois Bielefeld, and Yuge Zhou use their bodies in space to engage in acts of labor, observation, and ritual. Through their films and videos, each artist takes the viewer to a different location in a series of meditative practices.
