🇺🇸 Chicago's Cyberpunk Himalayas in a Tadao Ando Masterpiece 🏗️🌌

Just caught the must-see exhibition at Wrightwood 659 before it changes on Feb 15! 🏃‍♀️💨 The main show features contemporary Himalayan art curated by NYC's Rubin Museum. 🏔️🎨 28 artists present mind-blowing paintings/installations/sculptures/films exploring Himalayan themes. Each piece dialogues with Rubin's historical artifacts – past meets future in this stunning "Cyber Qu Yuan" style exhibition. 🤖🖼️ Don't miss the daily 15-minute staff talks highlighting select works! 🗣️✨ My favorites: • LU Yang's "DOKU The Self" (30-min film watched twice!) – a cyber-being's Buddhist awakening. No spoilers, but the technical mastery and philosophical depth left me speechless. 😭🤯 • John Akomfrah's Venice Biennale piece (missed due to tech issues but got a raincheck!) exploring African elephants and human-nature relationships. 🐘🌍 The Tadao Ando-designed space itself is art! ☀️🏢 One of only three Ando structures in Chicago (along with a Lincoln Park house and the Art Institute's gallery). Raw concrete meets heavenly light – pure architectural poetry. ✨📐 #AestheticLiving #TadaoAndo #CyberpunkArt #ChicagoArt #SciFiVibes #HiddenChicago #HimalayanArt #ArchitectureAsMusic
