Five works by Anders Ruhwald acquired by the Art Institute of Chicago

April 30, 2021

With the generous support of the New Carlsberg Foundation, the acquisition includes works from the last six years of Ruhwald’s output. The variety of pieces now in the Art Institute are an incredible cross-section that represent Ruhwald’s dedication to color, form, surface, and scale. “Anders Ruhwald works at the intersection of sculpture, design, and craft but always with ceramic as his chosen medium. The Art Institute now adds five pieces to its collection. The five pieces come from three different projects created in recent years. Together, they illustrate different aspects of Ruhwald’s multifaceted ceramic practice. The pieces span from site-specific narrative explorations inspired by urban conditions in the United States to studies of Danish glaze traditions.” – New Carlsberg Foundation

Chicago Architecture Biennial 2021 on community and urban space

April 29, 2021

Ania Jaworska has been announced as a contributor in the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial. The 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennial has announced its list of contributors – and it’s a rich, diverse and exciting one, tapping into critical ideas, such as urban and social sustainability, vacant spaces, diversity and community. The Chicago Architecture Biennial is gearing up for its fourth edition, and the organizers have just announced the contributors taking part this year, responding to the festival’s overall theme, ‘The Available City’. The list, rich and diverse, is exciting, tapping into innovators pomoting important ideas, such as urban space, social sustainability, diversity and community, instigating deep architectural debate. The festival’s artistic director David Brown has paired these creatives with local community groups in Chicago, and together the teams will explore ‘forms of shared, collective space and inspire new and imaginative uses of vacant spaces in the city’. As a result, events and exhibits will pop up across town, including neighbourhoods such as North Lawndale, Woodlawn, Bronzeville, Pilsen, South Loop, the Loop, and Edgewater.
