Stumble Chicago

integrates art installations with Chicago’s cityscape to offer urbanites chance encounters with creative gestures. By situating art outside the institutional framing of a gallery or museum environment, this curatorial experiment proposes art viewing as an everyday exercise and strives to engage audiences that might otherwise never seek it out.
