New Exhibit Focuses on Elevations in Chicago
DNAinfo recently ran two articles detailing an exhibit taking place during the Chicago Architecture Biennial co-run by SAIC’s Lee Bey (Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects) and architect James Gorski. The exhibit, Elevation: The Rise of Beverly/Morgan Park, focuses on the highest elevated neighborhoods in the otherwise flat city of Chicago. Held at the Beverly Arts Center, 2407 West 111th Street, the exhibit runs through January 7. Featured in the exhibit will be an architectural installation by current SAIC student Jorge Mauricio Casian (BFA 2018) as well as photographs and maps of the beautiful and historic neighborhood. Bey, a photographer and architecture critic, said of his role in the exhibit, "Architectural photography—that's my thing. That's what I do." Read more at DNAinfo.
