solid lineup, but which of these are on the comedy stage?
Lots of great and unknown names here! I'm very excited for this biennial as I will actually be able to go this year.
Ha! Evan, I was thinking an early Lollapolooza-style freakshow side stage type thing would be fun.
Definitely Jimenez Lai, his comedy is Louis C.K.
A little disappointed that Oyler-Wu isn't on that list. I think this is right up their alley with the type of work they do.
I may go to this...Archinect field trip anyone?
I'm excited to see the new crop of architecture ideas but also get the feeling this will be another Tactical Urbanism show from the usual suspects, the cool European curators. ..... But it's okay, nice for Chicago. Just hope there is some architecture at the architecture show.
A handy map of the participants:
