Expo Chicago has announced the artists who will present work in its Expo Video, In/Situ, Expo Sound, and In/Situ Outside programs for its 2018 edition, which will take place from September 27 to 30.
Pablo León la Barra, the curator at large for Latin American art at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, curated this year’s In/Situ exhibition, which installs large-scale, site-specific artworks within Festival Hall on Navy Pier, the site of the fair. This year’s edition will focus on the ways in which art can promote positive societal change and includes pieces by artists Firelei Báez, Sam Durant, Judy Chicago, and more.
Meanwhile, the fair’s video section, Expo Video, organized by Anna Gritz, curator at the KW Institute for Contemporary art in Berlin, is titled “Portrait of a Tongue — Towards Non-Visibility,” and will feature works by nine artists, among them Ed Atkins, Adam Putnam, and Chicago.
Expo Sound, a showcase for audio-based art, is taking the title “The Afterlife Will Have Everything” and will showcase pieces that grapple with the role of speech in the face of increasingly advanced artificial intelligence. Works by various artists selected by Daata Editions, an online platform for the sale of commissioned video, sound, and web art, will be paired with pieces by students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Finally, In/Situ Outside, which involves staging temporary public art installations along the city’s Lakefront and throughout its neighborhoods, will feature three works by three artists: Justin Brice Guariglia, Iván Navarro, and Lawrence Weiner. The section is curated by Expo Chicago, the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and Navy Pier.
Stephanie Cristello, Expo Chicago’s director of programming, said in a statement, “What sets this iteration of Expo Chicago apart is the deep critical engagement of its core curatorial programs: from large-scale sculptures that were once sited along the U.S.-Mexico border, to moving image and video that examines the senses beyond sight and sound pieces that question the role of a voice in the 21st century.”
