Over the past year, the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has announced groups of artists who have been commissioned to create site-specific installations for the center’s 19-acre campus. The most recent cohort includes Mark Bradford, Tyanna J. Buie, Jay Heikes, Carrie Mae Weems, and the duo Sam Kirk + Dorian.
So far, over two dozen artists have been tapped to contribute work to the OPC’s public indoor and outdoor spaces. Artists already on board include Nick Cave, Jenny Holzer, Spencer Finch, Maya Lin, Julie Mehretu, and Theaster Gates.
