Objects of Common Interest Lecture
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
Fullerton Hall, 111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Tuesday, September 23rd, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by visiting design team Objects of Common Interest followed by an audience Q&A.
Founded by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis in 2016, Objects of Common Interest engages at the intersection of art, design, and architecture. The studio explores a diverse range of scales, from sculptural objects and installations to immersive environments and public art projects. Based between New York and Athens, Petaloti and Trampoukis are also the founding partners of the sibling architectural practice LOT Office for Architecture. Their work Surfaces in Flux is on view as part of the sixth edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial—SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change, September 19, 2025–February 28, 2026.
Presented in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Biennial and the William Bronson and Grayce Slovet Mitchell Lecture Series in SAIC’s Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects.
This event will be live captioned by Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services. For additional access requests, visit saic.edu/access.
