The spring projection will feature the video work of Luis Urculo from April 9-26, 2026. The artist’s work features the tools, procedures and formats that are commonly used in architecture. His art investigates spatial concepts like gravity, empty volumes and weight.
The name of the newly commissioned art program created by the School of the Art Institute students is “Synthesis. ” Graduate and undergraduate students teamed up to create original works connected to the theme of synthesis and how visual projection and sound can merge seamlessly. “Syntheis” will be projected from April 30 to May 17, 2026.
Columbia College Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Photography facilitated the work of Chicago Public School students who created camera-less cyanotype prints using tree specimens that they collected. The projections will run May 21-31, 2026.
