The Seen – Official blog for EXPO CHICAGO

This week on The Seen, we featured an EXPO CHICAGO partner, Leviathan. Leviathan is a Chicago-based, design-focused production studio specializing in the creation of large-scale visual experiences across all media. Leviathan is collaborating with Studio Gang Architects on an unprecedented interior environment design for the fair. Leviathan will create a large interactive installation that incorporates motion-sensing technology to visually depict the movement of visitors, bringing art and technology together in an entirely new way.

Next, we were delighted to publish a series of posts by Chicago curator Tricia Van Eck. Tricia reviewed exhibitions in San Francisco, Barcelona and Karlsruhe, Germany. Make sure to read about the special exhibition at the Kadist Art Foundation, Xavier Le Roy’s Retrospective at the Tàpies Foundation and the ongoing exhibition Sound Art at the ZKM Center for Art and Media. Tricia Van Eck is an independent curator and the Artistic Director of 6018NORTH.
