Here Hear Chicago
September 13 and 16
Chicago
Navy Pier welcomed world-renowned contemporary artist Nick Cave and international architect and MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang for Here Hear Chicago, a site-specific project incorporating art, design, and performance.
As part of Here Hear Chicago, the locally based duo presented a series of live productions in which Cave’s performers intersected with and responded to a field of dynamic, custom-fabricated objects designed by Studio Gang. The series included Cave’s newest performance work, Up Right, and internationally acclaimed HEARD. Both works feature his iconic Soundsuits and were accompanied by some of Chicago’s most talented musicians, including jazz artist Kahil El Zabar, the Chicago Children’s Choir, and others.
