From the irreverent Happy Place<\/a>, to Refinery29’s 29 Rooms<\/a>, to the new Infinity Mirror Room exhibit at the forthcoming wndr museum<\/a>, it seems like Chicago is a hotbed for wacky art this summer.<\/p>\n

No wonder Navy Pier wants to get in on the action.<\/p>\n

Starting on Saturday, July 28th,\u00a0Chilean artist Iv\u00e1n Navarro’s installation\u00a0“This Land is Your Land” will pop-up at Navy Pier’s\u00a0Polk Bros Park Consisting of three, water tower-esque\u00a0wooden structures, visitors to the installation are invited to stand underneath each tower and gaze up at neon\/mirror combinations that create a dazzling \u2013 and, honestly, mind-boggling \u2013 art experience. The pieces exist as part of a collaboration between Navy\u00a0Pier,\u00a0New York’s\u00a0Paul Kasmin Gallery, and the annual\u00a0EXPO Chicago event, which returns to the city on September 27th for 2018.<\/p>\n

The three pieces, inspired by Navarro’s move from Chile to NYC, create the imagery of an endless neon ladder, a continuous interpolation of the words “we” and “me” and the word “bend” repeated on end, respectively.<\/p>\n

Of course, the pieces also draw inspiration from the eponymous Woodie Guthrie song, “This Land is Your Land,” upon which Navarro makes an interpretation of the line “this land was made for you and me” as it relates to the United State’s relationship to immigration.<\/p>\n

The installation will remain on display in Polk Bros Park until April 30th, 2019.<\/p>\n
