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.
Exhibition musical soundscape composed by Joshua Abrams, performed by Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society, from the record Simultonality, courtesy of the artist & Eremite Record. Listen to the full album here: goo.gl/C8xsmF
Gallery hours: Wednesday through Friday: 12–6pm
