Latest Events in Chicago(September Updated)

This interactive exhibition will have its international premiere in Chicago. It's an unmissable event for science enthusiasts, Pokémon fans, and anyone who loves both. Bringing together Excavator Pikachu, Professor Pokémon, and scientists from the Field Museum, the exhibition takes you on a journey through time, filled with imagination and discovery—and it's only on display at the Field Museum.

Discover how a colossal asteroid ended the dinosaurs' reign and paved the way for life's astonishing comeback, shaping the world we know today. Meet unfamiliar creatures, explore immersive media experiences, and marvel at fossils from the Field Museum's renowned collections.

The exhibition focuses on the life and research experiences of scientist Dr. Sara Ruane, reinterpreting the diversity of modern scientific professions and the pathways of scientific exploration through her personal story.

This exhibition uses narrative, artifacts, and multimedia to showcase Lesley de Souza's personal growth and research trajectory, telling the story of how she developed from a childhood curiosity about nature into a conservation biologist dedicated to the protection of freshwater ecosystems.

"Kenji Shiokawa" is the artist's first solo museum exhibition, bringing together more than fifty sculptures created over fifty years (from the 1970s to the 2010s). At the heart of the exhibition are two main categories: meticulously crafted abstract totems in wood carving and mystical box-like installations filled with toys, dried flowers, and stones. The exhibition emphasizes the cross-cultural nature of Shiokawa's work, blending the aesthetics of Japanese wood carving, the installation art style of South Los Angeles, and various faith systems including Candombray, Catholicism, and Zen. Shiokawa possesses a profound understanding of his materials, allowing them to guide his sculptural process, which he likens to archaeology—both requiring patient excavation, discovery, and revelation.

This exhibition explores performance art on two levels: first, as an art medium rooted in the vibrant presentation of the body; and second, as an economic necessity characterized by a universal pursuit of productivity, speed, and efficiency. At any given moment, we may respond to this necessity in different ways—it may inspire and motivate us, ignite optimism, or trigger anxiety; it may exhaust us, or it may provide the drive to keep us going under immense pressure. In the "Slow Dance" exhibition, artists explore the political significance of bodily labor and maintenance under this constant pressure through suspension, inaction, and static postures.
