TRACE ELEMENTS was a piece in Present Standard, a group show which was at The Chicago Cultural Center from January 30-April 24, 2016. It was a site responsive mural I designed by "sampling" visual elements of several other artist's work in the show.
Guest curated by Edra Soto and Josue Pellot, "Present Standard" features 25 contemporary artists with Latino Chicago connections. Their works that play with the manifold meanings and forms suggested by the “standard” – as either a flag or a pennant, a measuring tactic or a guiding principle, or a potent symbol of national identity.
