The legacy of House music’s origin story is amplified through the terminals of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The Design Museum of Chicago, Vintage House Show, and the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) proudly announce the grand opening of the “Chicago: Home of House” exhibit. A culmination of extensive research and curation by the esteemed Vintage House Show team, including Lauren Lowery, Lori Branch, and Kevin McFall, alongside the progressive design prowess of the Design Museum of Chicago, led by Tanner Woodford, Kevin Reader, and Haoyu Lu, the exhibit pays homage to the rich and dynamic history of House music. Building upon the foundation laid by the groundbreaking “Move Your Body: The Evolution of HOUSE Music” exhibit in 2015 at the Chicago Cultural Center, originally compiled by a diverse group of curators including Rob McKay, “Chicago: Home of House” promises to immerse audiences in a visual journey through lyrics, tributes and the history of this iconic genre known as one of Chicago’s most unifying contemporary cultural exports. The “Chicago: Home of House” exhibition opened Nov. 13 at O’Hare Airport in the exhibition space in the Rotunda between Terminals 2 and 3, marked by an opening celebration in front of the exhibit.
