Karen Kice, Neville Bryan Assistant Curator at the Art Institute of Chicago Department of Architecture and Design, invited Iker Gil (MAS context) to curate and design an installation in gallery 283 as part of the exhibition “Chatter: Architecture Talks Back.”
Devised to explore the productive ways in which architecture can be communicated, this space presents work that sparks conversations about the field of architecture, our cities, and their citizens. Through photographs, posters, handbills, diagrams, maps, videos, and interviews, the projects featured here demonstrate tools to empower citizens to shape their public spaces; challenge our understanding of remarkable and underappreciated periods in architecture; discuss the potential of collective criticism; use satire to push the boundaries of criticism of the field of architecture; provide a diagnosis of the contemporary architecture; visualize human behaviors of our cities; offer personal narratives using the built environment; and produce physical manifestations of the constant stream of information being created online. In addition to these works, a series of essays and interviews located on the central table build on the potential of communication in architecture.
