6 Exhibitions to See During EXPO Chicago 2026

The art world is witnessing a significant shift toward 'one-work exhibitions,' where entire gallery or museum spaces are dedicated to a single object. This curatorial trend, often referred to as 'slow looking,' prioritizes deep engagement and spatial experience over the traditional model of high-volume, rapid-fire viewing.
