‘Underground city’ set to become Chicago’s next attraction by Ella Buchan
For this year’s Chicago Architecture Biennial (until January 2018), Los Angeles architect Erin Besler and artist Fiona Connor are creating installations inspired by the walkways’ textures, fixtures and fittings. Their work will highlight “a bit of functional infrastructure that gets far less attention than the more iconic structures it serves above ground”, said Biennial executive director Todd Palmer. These will be displayed in the Chicago Cultural Center, one on the ground floor and another where its basement joins the Pedway.
