Information

For the occasion of the Bauhaus Centennial, Chicago-based artist and educator Jan Tichy organized a group exhibition for the project space 68projects. The exhibition is a continuation of previous engagements with the history of Bauhaus. Education as a creative dialogue between students and instructors was a crucial element, and Tichy has been developing this practice over the last decade at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Chicago Grid brings together artists and educators that previously collaborated with Tichy, coming from both sides of the educational interchange. The exhibition questions the grid itself in its many forms and meanings, a nod to the Berlin Bauhauslers fascinated by the Chicago street grid.
