Sadie Woods: A Playground Study
A Playground Study explores children's playground culture and handclap games through a series of video, photography, and sound installation works. These folk and social music traditions are framed within the backdrop of several public schools of the south and west sides of Chicago. As an oral tradition that has survived world wars, displacement and migrations, the work queries the right to play, spaces of autonomy, and shared histories through song and play.

1600 Clay St.
Show runs through August 26.

Invoking Peace: Live Art by Vaira Low
A silent ritual of walking mindfully. Durational performance installation by Finnish artist Vaira Low. Audience is invited to come and linger in peaceful presence. Vaira Low is a Finnish artist whose work consists of performance, video, experimental music and web-based art, both solo and collaborative projects. Her live-art has its roots in Zen meditation, and she sees art making as a lifelong process of transformation, prioritizing the act itself over creating material objects. She believes that to find harmony it is important to look beyond the conceptual, and in her work she draws attention to the unseen, hoping to create a space for examining the world with intuition, not logic.
