The Exquisite City

Sometimes it's easy to just live in Chicago and not take advantage of all its perks. While Heath and I frequently remind ourselves to take advantage of the food, the art, music, theater and general quirkiness of the city are often overlooked for a Saturday afternoon spent reading on the couch. Not a bad thing altogether, but a couple Saturdays ago we decided to check out a unique exhibit at the Chicago Tourism Center called, "The Exquisite City."



The exhibit "features an architectural model of a fantasy city made almost entirely of cardboard created by more than 70 artists. It also includes an audio installation of music and sounds recorded on Chicago streets."

We weren't sure exactly what to expect, but it was interesting and beautiful.











We loved these shadowboxes of city windows created by students at Lakeview High School...
