The fifth exhibition venue for the sixth Chicago Architecture Biennial will be an abandoned retail space ni Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. Robert Chase Heishman The Chicago Architecture Biennial exhibition opened in September with SHIFT: Architecture in Times of Radical Change, its sixth edition. Since 2015, the biannual festival of architecture has spread across Chicago, bringing architecture and design to the public in a variety of venues open to all and with admission that is always free. In its never-ending search for new places to meet people where they live, work, and play, CAB will open a second exhibition this fall in 65,000 Square Feet of retail space at 840 N. Michigan Avenue, on the famous Magnificent Mile shopping corridor. The unique venue, which had been home to an H&M department store, is presented in partnership with Acadia Realty Trust and Parkside Realty. 804 N. Michigan is located directly across from the John Hancock Building and Fourth Presbyterian Church near Chicago’s Water Tower monument, at one of the city’s most recognizable intersections. It is also a shopping district that can hopefully attract foot traffic for even more normal people to attend. Spread across four floors of the retail buildings, the site will feature more than 30 installations from over 35 participating artists and studios. The main focus of the site will be “Ecologies,” which “explores how architecture exists within the interconnected systems that shape our world—climate, technology, food, and the human body. The exhibition expands the Biennial’s inquiry into how design both depends on and influences the broader ecologies that sustain and challenge us,” according to CAB Artistic Director Florencia Rodriguez. The disused big box retail venue will also have some more general projects under the “Shift” theme, or “capsule” as the CAB team calls it.
