Rare Earth
A speakeasy of sound and images
Organized by Theaster Gates
September 22 – November 17, 2017
“Rare Earth” invites the viewer to experience chance arrangements and discover new correlations between built environments from around the world. The exhibition mines a broad survey of architectural and design images from the archives of Rebuild Foundation. Using roulette projections of 35mm slides and film, and accompanied by live performances by Chicago-based sound artists, image and sound combine into a score that offers a poetic imagining of the speculative city.
Gallery hours: Wednesday through Friday: 12–6pm
For special tours, please contact Nikki Patin at npatin@uchicago.edu
Arts + Public Life is an Anchor Site of the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
The UChicago Architecture Biennial Shuttle runs on an hourly loop on select Saturdays, making a stop at “Rare Earth”. Reserve your free ticket: arts.uchicago.edu/cab

ABOUT EXHIBITIONS AT THE ARTS INCUBATOR
The exhibitions program at the Arts Incubator offers a platform for Chicago-based artists to thoughtfully engage with the global, contemporary art world in a localized environment. The unique positioning of this program acts as a catalyst for collaboration and exchange, creating a dynamic and critical space. Exhibitions are realized throughout the entirety of the building and the surrounding Washington Park area, fusing temporal, public space with the dedicated interior. This coupling is echoed with the public programming efforts, as we introduce the work of national artists to the local conversation.
