Segura had carte blanche when it came to the curation of the In situ section at her first recommendation: Expo Chicago, the annual contemporary art fair that returns to Navy Pier, located on the shores of Lake Michigan, April 11-14. The building will be filled with intriguing, large-scale sculptures, video installations and site-specific works. It's a sustainable fair, where you can buy and sell. But there is also a curatorial exchange program and a meeting of museum directors, so it's very thought-focused, Segura says.
The city is super-vibrant, with an art scene that has a lot of potential, and a focus on Latino art. In fact, it's one of the few cities in the United States where billboard ads for exhibitions are often written in Spanish. Based on the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies Van der Rohe, and located around the edges of a lake that is nearly an ocean, the city is home to fascinating museums, some of them owned by universities, she describes.
