Artists-in-residence Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero of Luftwerk will give an evening presentation on their collaborative visual art practice.
Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero are Chicago-based artists. After meeting in 1999 while studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, they formed Luftwerk Studio in 2007. Their chosen name—a combination of the German words Luft (air) and Werk (work, artwork)—is meant to emphasize both the ephemeral, immaterial properties of light and the material frameworks in which it takes shape and is experienced. The concept of Luftwerk has proven a conceptual touchstone for over twenty years of artistic collaboration.
