This tour will be a one-hour walk around Chicago’s loop, taking place in conjunction with the SAIC MFA Show, led by artist Caroline Wood. Participants will travel to 11 locations and learn about the histories of these spaces and how they intersect with the artist’s experience working on the accompanying book and installation of photographs. Participants will be asked to reflect on what these spaces mean to them, both before and after learning about their histories. The tour format is aimed at placing participants and viewers in physical proximity to an archive, and inspiring conversation and a shared sense of curiosity about what it means to inhabit spaces of absence and loss. The tour will begin at the Sullivan galleries, and will follow the route below. The tour will end at the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue, from where participants are welcome to disband or follow the artist back to the Sullivan galleries. A short coffee break will be built in to the tour, and will happen around the middle of the tour at the Starbucks at the intersection of Monroe and LaSalle.
