mana contemporary announces som exhibition for 2017 chicago architecture biennial.

Sep 10, 2017

mana contemporary chicago has announced that a new pop-up exhibition, titled som: engineering x [art + architecture] presented in partnership with the chicago architecture biennial and ace hotel chicago as a partner for special programming, the exhibition will run through january 7th, 2018.

for more than eight decades, som has explored the poetics of structure through continual examination and experimentation. the exhibition reveals the concepts and forms that stem from som’s integrated practice of engineering, art, and architecture. through hand-drawn sketches, interactive sculpture, immersive video, and a lineup of more than 30 structural models at 1:500 scale. the exhibition gives insight into som’s practice, past and present, as it seeks to address physical and environmental challenges with concise and honestly expressed solutions.

the exhibition surveys som’s long tradition of collaboration with visual artists and showcases models, drawings, and ephemera from projects created by pablo picasso, james turrell, jaume plensa, james carpenter, janet echelman, and iñigo manglano-ovalle. som: engineering x [art + architecture] explores the idea that engineers, architects, and artists alike practice a poetry of inquiry, experimentation, and ingenuity.

the exhibition is sponsored by sterling bay and terry dowd, inc.
