During Yaku’s attempt to renovate and regenerate the historic and iconic Hale Memorial Church to repurpose the building into a cultural center(2012 - 2020), we fostered a series of epic monumental projects on the building.

THE MOST TALKATIVE GESTURES

The Terrain Biennial is unlike any other art festival. It takes place on lawns, in front yards, on porches, beneath awnings, and in windows. Residents partner with artists to bring striking, contemporary artwork into their communities. The Terrain Biennial challenges the way art is often confined to institutional spaces and class-specific audiences. Building on Chicago’s rich tradition of apartment galleries and artist-run spaces, the Biennial brings contemporary art into the intimate terrain of the front yard, fostering dialogue between neighbors and providing access to new art for a wide range of people.
