Frances Lightbound: The Land Dissolves in Water | Exhibition

UK-born, Chicago-based artist Frances Lightbound’s interdisciplinary work examines relationships between time, bodies and buildings. She studies the production of space in urban environments, weaving narratives across photography, print, spatial interventions, and sculpture, with a focus on materials and sites in transition.

Architecture becomes an entry-point to questions of land use, ownership and access, bodily experience and perception, and timeframes ranging from the human to the geological. Lightbound’s talk will tease out loose threads in seemingly fixed systems of spatial organization, inviting viewers to consider and participate in the continual (re)construction of meaning in urban environments.

Lightbound will also give a lecture on the opening evening of this exhibition on Tuesday, October 27 from 6:30–8pm at the same location.
