 The Peninsula Chicago is pleased to announce an exciting art exhibition, But I’m on The Guest List! curated by The FLAG Art Foundation which brings together a variety of contemporary artists featuring Jennifer Dalton, Elmgreen & Dragset, Ewan Gibbs, Awol Erizku, Josephine Meckseper, Tom Sachs, Cindy Sherman, Yuken Teruya and Chicago’s own Carlos Rolón. The selection of artworks playfully intervenes in the hotel’s beautiful public spaces, mingling form and function, high and low culture, and humorously nodding to the trappings of VIP status. “I’m delighted to present my recent work at The Peninsula Chicago in collaboration with The FLAG Art Foundation during EXPO CHICAGO,” says srtist Carlos Rolón. As a Chicago-based artist, it gives me great pride to introduce my new body of work in my hometown. The beautiful environment of The Peninsula will serve as the perfect backdrop,” he added.

This is the fourth consecutive year The Peninsula Chicago has hosted a contemporary art exhibition that coincides with EXPO CHICAGO, the International Exposition of Contemporary & Modern Art, the seventh edition of which will take place at Navy Pier, September 27 to 30, 2018. The installation is open to the public and will be displayed throughout the hotel on the ground level lobby and the 5th floor main lobby from September 22, 2018 through October 30, 2018, as part of a public art project. This exhibition is the latest project from The Peninsula Hotels’ ongoing commitment to present rotating art exhibitions of world-class contemporary art in the hotel’s public spaces.
