Merchandise Mart thoughts.

The Merchandise Mart will never cease to amaze me. I am lucky enough to walk through its halls everyday, these of which take up two city blocks, and due to its size- used to carry its own zip code!
All through out the year the building holds art exhibitions with some of their biggest being Art Chicago and Artropolis which are part of an even bigger event called Next.
And just the other day i stumbled across a new installation by local Chicago artist Bernard Williams. After doing some research i came to find out this exhibition space was granted as part of his controversial win for 2010 Art Loop Open. 

I immediately loved the graphics and symbols mixed with type. And even though they are wood cut-outs they remind me of stenciling and street art to some extent. 

I will leave you with some close ups of the work, and the creepy picture that sits right across from it.
So weird.
