EXPO Chicago

For the special programme of the International Art Fair, Rupert will present an exhibition ‘I am Sitting in a Room’ inspired by Alvin Lucier’s work. The exhibition consists of works by Alternative Education Programme’s alumni.

“I am Sitting in a Room” pays homage to the influential work of the same name by American artist and composer, Alvin Lucier. The exhibition seeks to think through the experiences of isolation and environmental reflection in the context of different artistic practices. It provides a glimpse into the power of material storytelling as a way of processing the highly personal, yet universally recognizable symptoms of detachment. The variety of media, subject matter, and execution speaks to the nature of isolation as a highly distributed experience.
