Featuring provocative artistic discourse with leading artists, curators, and arts professionals on the current issues that engage them, this year's /Dialogues program includes the Symposium: On Utopia, which will explore the various ways in which utopias are continuously being imagined, examining how the ‘ideal’ can exist within contemporary structures.

Daily panel program surrounding dialogue on the contemporary art market, perspectives on collecting, institutional engagement, and philanthropy, this year's Exchange program features the return of the Professionals Forum.

IN/SITU
Curated by Jacob Fabricius | Artistic Director, Kunsthal Aarhus
Installed within the expansive, vaulted architecture of Navy Pier’s Festival Hall, the 2019 program will feature large-scale sculpture, film, and site-specific works that represent a post human narrative, discussing issues surrounding gender, identity, and conditions of being. The hyper-presence of the body, or its conspicuous absence, is a theme that carries throughout each of the site-specific pieces on view.

PUBLIC ART
