Unsuspicious Activity Around an Attended Package

February 9, 12:00 p.m.—12:00 a.m.
Various locations along the CTA Blue Line

Clutch Gallery and The Society of Smallness present: Unsuspicious Activity Around an Attended Package, a 12-hour exhibition and performance as part of the 2nd Floor Rear Festival. We will debut Floating Drawings by Alexis Petroff.

For 2FR, the SOS will ride the rails with Clutch on the CTA Blue Line between Division and Logan Square. Our good looking and moderately talented docents will give guided tours of Clutch. Periodically, if we know our docents, they will grow distracted and wander off the El to get a drink, type an urgent letter, or visit other 2FR exhibitors. Accompanying them will be a tiny entourage of bureaucrats who are wont to tweet their location and perform clerical duties, like stamping all manner of surfaces with the SOS shrimp logo. Through these seemingly idiosyncratic tics the SOS will keep Clutch in the heart of the action and create a roving experience not to be missed.

From the "vertical topography" of our Aqua Tower in Chicago, with its undulated balconies, to the dramatic, canyon-like spaces of our Gilder Center at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, we are interested in how design can learn from nature to bring people together for meaningful shared experience. The liquid material of concrete often provides the perfect medium for this kind of architectural innovation. Canyon Flow embraces both the physical power of nature's forces and the wonder they inspire, as well as embodying the immersive currents…
