At the earlier event, the World Parliament of Religions, held in an auditorium that encompassed the area that today includes both the museum\u2019s Fullerton Hall and Woman\u2019s Board Grand Staircase, a young Hindu monk, Swami Vivekananda electrified audiences with a powerful speech calling for an end to religious fundamentalism, intolerance, and bigotry.<\/p>\n<p>This very speech forms the basis of Kallat\u2019s work, as the staircase risers are illuminated by Vivekananda\u2019s words in five alternating colors\u2014red, orange, yellow, blue, and green. These colors, borrowed from the decade-long advisory system of the US Department of Homeland Security following the attacks of 9\/11, formed a spectrum denoting terrorism threat levels\u2014from red for severe to green for low. Kallat transforms this motif of public vigilance into a radiant signal, reflecting Swami Vivekananda\u2019s timeless and urgent plea for tolerance and universal acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>Jitish Kallat: Public Notice 3 is curated by Madhuvanti Ghose, Alsdorf Associate Curator of Indian, Southeast Asian, and Himalayan Art, Arts of Asia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jitish Kallat\u2019s site-specific installation, Public Notice 3, returns to the Art Institute of Chicago\u2019s Grand Staircase this fall after a 14-year hiatus.
