Petra Cortright, Installation View Art on theMart, 2020
While most of the noteworthy artworks in Chicago this week are tucked inside Navy Pier for Expo Chicago, the city’s annual art fair, there is one exhibition that’s hard to miss. Projected nightly on the 2.5-acre exterior of Chicago’s iconic waterfront Merchandise Mart, Art on theMART is the world’s largest public digital display and it returns for its second edition on Saturday, September 21. This year features work by esteemed video artist and film director Charles Atlas and buzzworthy young talent Petra Cortright.
