ARTIST FAHEEM MAJEED / A collaboration of SAIC and the Shapiro Center, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, and Kunlé Adeyemi.

Fresh from his solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, artist and sculptor Faheem Majeed uses his work to “question how space becomes place, and, further, how places can foster a sense of home and belonging.”

Now, for the ROCK project, Majeed will enact a performance that brings tribute to the late Dr. Margaret Taylor-Burroughs, founder of Chicago’s DuSable Museum.

In this performance that considers legacy, Majeed will don his well-known performance attire–a black business suit–and inscribe Dr. Burroughs’s cursive signature into one of the rocks.
