Luftwerk and Iker Gil's Light Installation at Farnsworth House Featured in ArchDaily
Geometry of Light, a collaboration between Petra Bachmaier (BFA 1999) and Sean Gallero (SAIC 1993–98) of Luftwerk and Lecturer Iker Gil (Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects), was featured on the ArchDaily website. The multimedia installation was exhibited at Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, during the month of October.
Geometry of Light at the Farnsworth House explores the visible and invisible conditions that shape the close relationship between this historic house and the surrounding trees and Fox River […] We are excited to continue the exploration of the work of Mies van der Rohe, initiated at the German Pavilion in Barcelona, and establish a conceptual dialogue between these two exemplary structures of the modern movement," say Bachmaier, Gallero, and Gil.
In celebration of alum Georgia O’Keeffe: My New Yorks opening current SAIC students were invited to submit artworks inspired by O’keeffe and the city of Chicago.
