Loop and Architecture Tour with Executive Director Scott Chesebro
“I want students to understand public art and how architecture and the urban streetscape affect the way people use the city. I like to talk about the relationship public sculpture has to Chicago and its history. For example, I ask students to think about the way Chagall imagined the populations of Chicago in his Four Seasons sculpture. I want them to see the way contemporary architects integrate their work into older buildings and the respect they have for other architect’s work.
“The Loop is the nerve center of the city and I believe its art and architecture symbolize both the limits and the possibilities of the city.”
