chicago architectural biennial


A temporary Woodlawn Canopies installation, designed by Norman Teague Design Studios, was activated by a live video mix by kelechi agwuncha and a live musical performance by Ben Lamar Gay. Set on an empty lot across from New Beginnings Church, this community space was created for Project H.O.O.D. (Helping Others Obtain Destiny), a mentorship and training organization dedicated to uplifting local youth and residents.

Ben LaMar Gay is a composer and cornetist who moves sound, color, and space through folkloric filters to produce electro-acoustic collages.  His unification of various styles is always in service of the narrative and never solely a display of technique. A Chicago native, Ben’s true technique is giving life to an idea while exploring and expanding on the term “Americana.”
