"A tactile exploration of the Midwest's transition from manufacturing powerhouse to creative incubator, seen through the lens of sculptural works made from industrial detritus."

About

This exhibition draws inspiration from Chicago's history of industry and labor. By using steel, glass, and repurposed manufacturing waste, contemporary artists create works that question the future of the American workforce. It is a tribute to the resilient spirit of the region, emphasizing craftsmanship in the face of automated, globalized production.
