Art on theMART - now through December!
10 . 05 . 2018
The dazzling public art display launched at the end of September and turned the city’s iconic Merchandise Mart into a 2.5-acre art canvas.
With 34 projectors totaling almost one million lumens projected on the building façade, this is the largest permanent projection system in the world. A new software-driven platform allows The Mart to curate an ongoing exhibition of imagery from celebrated artists, keeping the illuminations fresh, timely and engaging.
The current display showcases work from 4 renowned artists: Diana Thater, Zheng Chongbin, Jan Tichy and Jason Salavon. Plan to shop the One of a Kind Show and then after dusk walk across the Chicago River for the best vantage point for the projections. Make it a full day of art!
