This site-specific installation at the 900 N Lake Shore Drive apartments, designed by Mies van der Rohe continues Assaf Evron’s Collage Series. After Mies immigrated to the U.S. in 1938, he made collaged works of domestic interiors featuring American landscapes. Evron similarly treats the Esplanade Apartment building’s windows with a mountain range located in Israel--creating a dialogue about global citizenship. Presented with the Elmhurst Art Museum.

The Terrain Biennial is unlike any other art festival. It takes place on lawns, in front yards, on porches, beneath awnings, and in windows. Residents partner with artists to bring striking, contemporary artwork into their communities. The Terrain Biennial challenges the way art is often confined to institutional spaces and class-specific audiences. Building on Chicago’s rich tradition of apartment galleries and artist-run spaces, the Biennial brings contemporary art into the intimate terrain of the front yard, fostering dialogue between neighbors and providing access to new art for a wide range of people.
Focus
The theme of this years Terrain Biennial is to take stock of the landscape that people are living in today. What is the terrain that we occupy? What is the topology of our moment? Artists and hosts have been asked to reflect upon the ways in which our environment changes us and how we are changing it.
Highlights
Projects for the Terrain Biennial 2019 will take place all over the world! Projects range from Terrain Founder Sabina Ott’s video piece at Wedge Projects in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood; to Alberto Aguilar’s stylized broken window posters in Havana, Cuba; to performances by Teresa Albor, Shubho Saha, and Back ART that examine the complexity of colonial history in Dhaka, Bangladesh; to Betsy Odom’s subversion of sports fan lawn signs in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood; and Cathy Hsiao’s Migration score for Blue House, 回家 which recontextualizes a symbol of Imperial power into an exercise of care in Cicero, IL.
The Terrain Biennial continues to grow this year as we have added a number of satellite clusters in Newburgh, NY; Portland ME; Santa Fe, NM and Lubbock, TX. We are also super excited about returning locations in Evanston, IL; Springfield, IL and Iowa City, IA.

History
Terrain Exhibitions was founded in 2011 by the late artist, curator, and educator Sabina Ott at her home in Oak Park. The original format of the exhibition space existed as monthly installations in her front yard, from which grew the Terrain Biennial. In the summer of 2018 Sabina Ott passed away leaving behind a legacy of radical energy, caring magic, and deep community. Terrain Exhibitions is a 501c3 Not for Profit organization established in the State of Illinois. Terrain Exhibitions produces the Terrain Biennial, a public art event staged at locations worldwide. Terrain Exhibitions hosts the Terrain Residency in Springfield, Illinois working with our partners the Springfield Art Association and the Enos Park Residency Program.
Land Acknowledgment
Chicago is the traditional homelands of the Council of the Three Fires: The Odawa, Ojibwe and Potawatomi Nations. Many other Tribes like the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox also called this area home. Located at the intersection of several great waterways, the land naturally became a site of travel and healing for many Tribes. American Indians continue to call this area home and now Chicago is home to the sixth largest Urban American Indian community that still practices their heritage, traditions and care for the land and waterways. Today, Chicago continues to be a place that calls many people from diverse backgrounds to live and gather here. Despite the many changes the city has experienced, both our American Indian and the Terrain Exhibitions community see the importance of the land and this place that has always been a city home to many diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Kim Brandt creates four new site-specific performances for the MCA’s front steps, atrium, and public spaces. A large cast of performers loop through various pathways in the museum spaces, collapsing the distance between audience and performer. Brandt’s modular, score-based choreography is informed by the building’s planes, surfaces, and volumes, as well as the performers’ effects on their surroundings.

We would like to share experiences and explore new practices, such as Piuarch’s “Synergy Gardens” project, a network of small edible rooftop gardens located on the top of disadvantaged districts’ Chicago Public Schools aimed at contrasting food desert and foster community empowerment. It will raise awareness of urban agriculture values, fostering urban regeneration, sustainability (water retention&insulation), urban ecology, local economic stimulation, healthy food production and social cohesion.

Information Wants to Be Free & So Do We
A Pop Up Library on Communication, Control & Mass Incarceration
Information Wants to Be Free & So Do We asks audiences to question the idea that social, emotional, and intellectual control are necessary for public safety, rehabilitation, and justice.
In 2019 there are seemingly limitless ways to connect with family, friends, and to participate in our communities, whether we are physically close to them or far away. Education and self-improvement are easy to access and we can set our own course for what we want to learn.
While many privileged Americans take this for granted and bemoan our constant state of connection, information is increasingly controlled and restricted in jails, prisons, detention, and throughout the justice system — including while awaiting trial and after release.
This Pop Up Library and programs aim to make these punitive and often arbitrary policies and their effects on individuals, their families, and communities visible through collections of work made by currently and formerly incarcerated youth and adults in Chicago; materials from Illinois Deaths in Custody Project; censored and returned communications between family and friends; books banned from prison libraries; information maps; and conversations and workshops with individuals and organizations working to change these policies and end mass incarceration.
Information Wants to be Free & So Do We has featured collaborative programs with Illinois Deaths in Custody Project, Moms United Against Violence and Incarceration, Black & Pink, Free Write and more, and is supported by an Envisioning Justice grant from Illinois Humanities.
About Read/Write Library
Read/Write Library collects, preserves, and provides access to Chicago community media in order to promote and inspire diverse forms of cultural production and civic engagement. We recognize the contributions that all community members make to co-creating a city — prioritizing those that have been left out of or suppressed from the record — and believe that learning to value these stories plays a vital role in building empathy, community pride, and the ability to see oneself as a change agent. Unlike a traditional read-only library, a “read/write” library makes the record rewritable, constantly adding material from Chicagoans of all ages, backgrounds, education levels, neighborhoods and languages. Through our public programs and free browsing hours, growing collection of over 6,000 publications, and open source catalog, we strive to raise the visibility of this work in order to reveal connective threads across neighborhoods, generations, and cultures and to encourage inquiry into and ownership of the historical record.

Join us for a gathering and public conversation to mark the installation of new remembrance objects to The Gun Violence Memorial Project and to discuss the role of memorials in influencing our national narrative.
5:00-5:30pm
Gather in Randolph Square (1st Floor North) to mark the installation of additional remembrance objects in The Gun Violence Memorial Project at the Chicago Cultural Center.
5:30pm-6:30pm
Following the unveiling, a panel talk and short performance will be hosted in the Claudia Cassidy Theater (2nd Floor North).
The performance of “A Song for Terrell” written by Trevon Bosley in memory of his brother, Terrell Bosley, will be performed by Takesha Meshé Kizart-Thomas and musicians of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. The piece was created as part of Notes for Peace, a songwriting project produced by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Negaunee Music Institute, Purpose Over Pain, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
Shifting the Narrative: What does it mean to design an inclusive memorial?
The panel discussion will consider how a memorial can support the movement to end gun violence. Moderated by Jha D Williams of MASS Design Group, panelists include: Kim Smith, Crime Lab; Arne Duncan, Chicago CRED; Patricia Padauy-Oliver, Change the Ref; Michael Murphy, MASS Design Group; Annette Nance-Holt, Purpose Over Pain.
The panel will be followed by a reception in the Welcome Center (1st Floor North) from 6:30-7:00pm.
This event is presented in partnership with the non-profit architecture and design collective MASS Design Group. Commissioned by the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial, The Gun Violence Memorial Project honors the lives and stories of victims of gun violence. Remembrance objects reside in a collection of glass houses, representing the magnitude of gun-related deaths that occur over a single month in the United States.

In his ongoing project Water School, Biennial contributor Oscar Tuazon investigates the relationship between architecture, water, and land rights through formal and informal learning and design processes. Here Tuazon moderates a discussion with tribal attorney Tara Houska (Couchiching First Nation); American Indian activist, attorney, and politician Chase Iron Eyes (Oglala Sioux); and Panda highlighting the significance of clean water to connecting communities in the Great Lakes region.
A roundtable discussion on petro-colonialism, petro-capitalism, Indigenous resistance, petro-philanthropy, and petro-culture.
Register HERE
Growing concerns about impending environmental collapse have prompted increased attention to Indigenous relationships with the land and its multiple systems. These relationships stand in stark contrast to the extraction of resources from Indigenous lands, which has been a constitutive component of settler colonialism. The first waves of resource extraction—the desire for precious metals, valued animal pelts, agricultural products, and land to cultivate large crops of grain and herd cattle—have given way to the privatization of water, ongoing mining of natural and mineral resources, and in particular the demand for oil. Oil extraction and transportation has compromised Indigenous land, sustenance, and life itself, from the Amazon jungle to Standing Rock, North Dakota. At the same time, this capital is transformed into philanthropy by funding this and other cultural events. Biennials and museums are supported by compromised wealth, yet cultural agents operating within their sponsorship seek to promote the very stories that reveal these relationships and their complicities. Ultimately, most major cultural sponsors have a colonialist dimension. In this landscape, how can cultural agents operate while still maintaining a critical discourse?
This program is organized by Biennial contributor Settler Colonial City Project in partnership with Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, Columbia University.

Please join us for a home-cooked meal and conversation! With this edition of the Traveling Kitchen project, Vivien Sansour, founder of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library, and Sweet Water Foundation invite guests to gather at the Think Barn for an afternoon centered on collective memory and space. The exchange will encompass stories from the South Side of Chicago, the American prairies, and Palestine that highlight the importance of remembering and reclaiming life in different political and social contexts. In her ongoing practice to preserve and promote seed conservation, Sansour investigates the relationship between food, land, and autonomy. This event is part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial’s curated programming series.

An open public workshop with the Directors of the Asociación de Arte Útil, Tania Bruguera and Alistair Hudson. This will be a group activity to analyse case studies from Chicago, and participating projects of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, to be submitted into the Arte Util Archive, to be involved in the decision making processes and development of the project and to learn more about the expansive international network of Arte Util. The workshop will be supported by Leanne Greene (Curator, the Whitworth, University of Manchester and Stephen Wright (Paris based writer and co-director of the Document & Contemporary Art post-graduate artistic research program at L'École Européenne Supérieure de l'Image (EESI), France).

This program is inspired by the current exhibition “Arte Útil.” “Arte Útil”, as defined by artist Tania Bruguera, is “an idea of art as a tool for social change”. Initiated by Bruguera, the Asociación de Arte Útil is a growing international network of people and activities that promote this idea. The project exists primarily as a growing online archive of hundreds of case studies from around the world that exemplify the concept of “Arte Útil” across categories such as urban development, science, economy, environment, and education. The archive is activated through exhibitions, meetings and exchanges that further interrogate the idea of ‘useful art’. This Chicago iteration of the Arte Útil Archive is presented within the former library of the historic Hull-House, reactivating the room as resource for local neighborhood groups, artists and activists to exchange knowledge that may prove useful in the local context.
“Arte Útil” (9 Sep, 2019–05 Jan, 2020) is commissioned by the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial, \"…and other such stories\", curated by Yesomi Umolu, Sepake Angiama and Paulo Tavares.

Discussion and presentation with artist Tania Bruguera and members of the Asociación de Arte Útil at the Jane Addams Hull House Muse
Jane Addams Hull-House Museum
800 South Halsted Street
Register HERE
This evening presentation and discussion with specialists from the fields of art, architecture, and mathematics aspires to develop new methodologies and terminologies for human creativity, moving beyond categorization and binary systems. For the last two hundred years, the definition of art has been circumscribed by a Eurocentric and colonial worldview developed from the philosophy of Emmanuel Kant (1724–1804). Participants tonight will devise new forms and taxonomies of art and art-like activity—radically inventive conceptual structures that reflect the interdisciplinary and contextual circumstances of creativity in the world at large.
Participants: Eugenia Cheng (scientist in residence, School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Stephen Wright (Environmental and Energy Study Institute, Paris), Tania Bruguera (artist, Cuba), Alistair Hudson and Leanne Green (Whitworth, Manchester, UK), Paulo Tavares (curator, Chicago Architecture Biennial), Paola Cabal (artist lecturer, School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Mika Tosca (climatologist, School of the Art Institute of Chicago)

Please join us next week for our first public program of 2021.
Changes in economic, environmental, infrastructural, and health conditions are constantly reshaping our cities and communities. However, the impact and capacity to respond to these changing conditions are not equal. What are the long-term initiatives that can shape an equitable future? How can residents, especially those most vulnerable, have equitable access to resources to provide stability?
The program will feature Minneapolis-based sociologist and photographer David Schalliol; Co-Executive Director of Los Angeles-based LA Más, Elizabeth Timme; and architect and director of MAS Studio Iker Gil.
This event continues and builds upon the newly launched model of year-round, free public programming at the Biennial.

Soil Lab: A Global Collaboration will highlight the recent announcement of a major new Danish Arts Foundation (DAF) commission for the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago as part of the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial. The commission is the outcome of an open call hosted by the DAF for a project responding directly to CAB’s 2021 edition theme The Available City. The winning project, titled Soil Lab, will include workshops and built elements grounded in bricks, a material with significance to both the Chicago and the Danish architectural vernacular. This program will look at the impact of global collaboration and hear from the design team behind Soil Lab about their design practice and the process around developing the project.
Speakers will include architect and designer Mads Quistgaard of the DAF Committee for Design and Craft along with the Soil Lab design team: Eibhlín Ní Chathasaigh, James Albert Martin, Anne Dorthe Vester, and Maria Bruun.

Click here to register for NeighborSpace: Stories of Stewardship and Chicago's Community Gardens
A community garden is not only a place to watch seeds grow into tomatoes or to try your first taste of basil; it can also be an entry point for conversation and action around politics, civic practice, and neighborhood stewardship. Join NeighborSpace Executive Director Ben Helphand and Assistant Director Robin Cline for a conversation with community garden leaders who will share stories about local stewardship.
The discussion will highlight the many ways that Chicago neighbors come together to problem-solve, design spaces, raise money, welcome strangers, and celebrate. NeighborSpace is the only nonprofit urban land trust in Chicago, that preserves and sustains over 120 gardens led by local community groups across the city. These gardens provide healthy food, opportunities for residents to engage with neighbors, and generate beauty, play, health, and safety for their neighborhoods.

Informed by the colonial history of their home country of South Africa, Wolff Architectsaddresses social inequities and the erasure of Indigenous landscapes and narratives through the film Summer Flowers. This project is an extension of Wolff Architects’ 2019 CAB project that examined the life of South African writer, activist, and gardener Bessie Head (1937–1986).
Following the screening, Wolff Architects co-founder, film director, and 2019 CAB Contributor Ilze Wolff will discuss the process and research of Summer Flowers with musician and composer Cara Stacey and documentarian and editor Khalid Shamis. The pre-recorded conversation will be moderated by writer and artist Julie Nxadi. The group will discuss how the use of sound, archival materials, and storytelling bring remembrance to the vast life and work of Bessie Head, and her relation to collective memory of time and space in South Africa.

The Available City, the 2021 edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, is a framework for a collaborative, community-led design approach that presents transformative possibilities for vacant urban spaces that are created with and for local residents. Through workshops, installations, activations, performances, and programs, The Available City invites a critical global conversation that asks how design can foster collective engagement and agency to identify new forms of shared space in urban areas.
The fourth edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial presents a new chapter of a decade-long research initiative led by 2021 Artistic Director, designer, and educator David Brown. The Available City introduces a process for bringing ideas generated from community workshops into existence on vacant lots in neighborhoods across the city. Currently, there are more than ten thousand city-owned, vacant sites in Chicago that each measure 25 by 125 feet. In aggregate, these lots are roughly equal in size to Chicago’s downtown center, the Loop.
On view at the Graham Foundation through December 18, The Available City, part of the fourth edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, presents projects that investigate how a community-led design process can create new spaces in the city. Projects by Christophe Hutin Architecture (Bordeaux), Departamento del Distrito (Mexico City), Drawing Architecture Studio (Beijing), El Cielo (Mexico City), Enlace Arquitectura + Ciudad Laboratorio (Caracas), fala (Porto), and RIFF Studio (NY), highlight collaborative and improvisational design approaches that put communities first.

What is the future of the ten thousand city-owned vacant lots in Chicago? How can a community-oriented approach shift perspectives in how cities are built and vacant urban spaces are transformed? Deeply rooted in a framework for collaboration and community-led design, The Available City asks us to consider the collective impact that space can have in cities today.
The Transformative Possibilities of The Available City explores the practice of engaging communities in collaborative and participatory design processes. Architect, author, academic, and activist, Dr. Craig L. Wilkins, and Chicago Architecture Biennial 2021 Artistic Director David Brown will discuss Wilkins’ work on spatial justice in marginalized communities as it relates to a critical theme of The Available City: the future of the more than ten thousand city-owned vacant lots that are concentrated on the South and West Sides of Chicago, in predominantly Black and Brown neighborhoods.
Join for a conversation on possibilities of community collaboration and ways of changing perception of shared space for the present and future in spaces of Chicago and beyond.

The Black Schoolhouse Manual: Blueprints for Black Radical Education and Space
December 7, 6 p.m. CT
Free, virtual program on Zoom
Join grantees Shani Peters and Joseph Cuillier of The Black School in discussion with Whawn Allen (Whawn Allen Architects and Construction Consultants), Ada Tolla and Guiseppe Lignano (LOT-EK), and Bryan C. Lee Jr (Colloqate) about their forthcoming Graham-supported publication The Black Schoolhouse Manual (Paper Machine, 2022). This book is a contemporary adaptation of Tuskegee Institute’s 1915 Negro Rural Schoolmanual that provides a blueprint for community organizers to construct low-cost, independent Black spaces in the context of historical precedents and in conversation with contemporary social architecture technologies.
This program is co-presented by Logan Center Exhibitions and the Center for the Study of Race, Politics and Culture at the University of Chicago in conjunction with the exhibition Carrie Mae Weems: A Land of Broken Dreams.

December 8, 6:30 p.m. CT
Free, registration required
Presented by Alliance Française Chicago (810 N Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60610)
Architect Christophe Hutin and Chicago Architecture Biennial Artistic Director David Brown screen and discuss the film Communities at Work—currently on view at the Graham as part of The Available City. This event also marks the opening of the Architectes Français à l’Export (AFEX) exhibition honoring projects realized abroad by French architects.
Hutin represented France at the 2021 17th International Architecture Exhibition, Venice, and this film premiered in the French Pavilion in response to curator Hashim Sarkis' question— \"How will we live together?\"
Communities at Work reflects on the meeting between architectural know-how and the inhabitants’ own experiences of their living spaces through case studies in France, South Africa, Vietnam, and the United States. This transversal approach to the profession is an attempt to shed light on the implications of architecture in a contemporary world subject to massive changes. The film invites spectators along on this international journey, to move from one world to another, from Mérignac to Detroit, from Hanoi to Johannesburg without a predetermined path.

Thank you again for your support and participation in the 2021 CAB program. We are already working to bring you a year-round calendar of programs and have some exciting updates and programs in development for 2022 and beyond. We are thrilled to share that CAB will have a year-round exhibition space at the Chicago Cultural Center where we will continue to explore ambitious, innovative, and imaginative ideas in architecture and design.
To kick off the 2022 InDialogue series, we invite you to join us for our first program on Tuesday, February 15, that features a conversation between The Available City contributors Elleza Kelley and Isabel Strauss.
Stay tuned as we roll out announcements for new programs in youth education, exhibitions, publications, workshops, and other events focused on communities across Chicago and cities around the world.
This conversation will consider the relationship between spatial practice, Black aesthetic, and how personal histories create collective power within our cities. Moderated by The Available City curatorial fellow, Lauren Speigel, this conversation features 2021 CAB essayist Elleza Kelley and 2021 CAB contributor Isabel Strauss of Riff Studio, who will discuss their practices and CAB contributions.

SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change
September 19, 2025–February 26, 2026
Over the past decade, the Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB) has sustained an international forum on architecture and urbanism centered in Chicago and has continued to produce the largest exhibition of contemporary architecture in North America every two years. CAB exhibitions and public programs have engaged over 2.2 million visitors with innovative ideas in design through over 400 original projects created by architects, artists and designers from nearly 50 countries.
CAB is excited to celebrate its tenth anniversary with CAB 6, the next iteration of the Biennial to be held in 2025, led by Florencia Rodriguez, a writer, editor and Director of and Associate Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago's School of Architecture (UIC/SoArch), who will be the Biennial's first Latina Artistic Director.
Titled Shift: Architecture in Times of Radical Change, CAB 6 will present an expansive and multi-faceted exploration of the field of architecture and the built environment globally, specifically as they respond to and are remade by a rapidly changing world.
In tandem with exhibitions, installations, events and a robust youth education program throughout Chicago, CAB 6 will also produce a series of initiatives, both local and virtual, that will expand the intellectual footprint of the Biennial beyond the city itself.
The sixth edition of CAB, which is free and open to the public, will open its central exhibition in the Chicago Cultural Center on September 19, 2025 and run through February 28, 2026.

Opening Weekend
The 2025 Chicago Architecture Biennial, SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change, launches this September with a dynamic weekend of exhibitions, events, panel discussions, and activations that will continue across the city through February 2026.
The Biennial officially opens to the public on September 19, 2025, with exhibitions at the Chicago Cultural Center, Graham Foundation, Stony Island Arts Bank, a site-specific installation on the grounds of the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, and a special performance and opening celebration at the historic Roundhouse at The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center. Across these sites, more than 70 architects, artists, and designers explore the profound cultural, social, and environmental transformations shaping our world today. The projects on view engage the uncertainty of our time, but also offer visions of creativity, resilience, and possibility—asking how architecture can contribute to the futures we want to imagine together.
Opening weekend also highlights programming from local partners, including the Chicago Architecture Center, National Public Housing Museum, and De Paul Art Museum, among others. These collaborations underscore the Biennial’s commitment to linking global conversations with Chicago’s unique architectural and civic landscape. The following is an outline of special programming and events throughout the opening. Select each event to find further information.
We look forward to continuing citywide expansion of the Biennial with the opening of a new exhibition site in November that brings together over 25 large-scale projects advancing the ideas at the heart of SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change.
We invite you to join one of our many programs during opening weekend, and continue exploring as the Biennial unfolds through February 28, with successive moments of programming that spotlight its thematic capsules and partner initiatives across the city.
