“As with any project, we did a ridiculous amount of exploration and experiments, some of which became works in their own right. After looking at all the potential directions, we settled on this one because it was simple, it highlighted the artist rather than a specific artwork, and it made a very direct reference to the theme of the fair: ‘Visual Arts Landing in Chicago.’ Sandro Miller executed the ‘floating’ artists with several artists and a trampoline. The splatters of ink required a day outside, a white backdrop, and lots of getting very wet. Trial and error—good times.” —Jeremiah Chiu
