RenaisSENSES: Artist Talk with Anke LohApril 19th, 20253:00pm - 4:30pmFree, RSVP Required Join us for a presentation and demonstration by Anke Loh about her installation at IMSS, RenaisSENSES .  About the presentation:   By engaging visitors directly in the Museum environment, Loh’s interactive installations emphasize the importance of human touch and shared sensory encounters. These pillows—carefully embroidered with circuits that activate sound palettes—create a transformative space within the gallery, encouraging participants to reflect on their bodies, their relationships with others, and the surrounding environment. With a focus on ethically sourced materials and responsible production, Loh’s work champions sustainable practice in fashion and art. In presenting her new body of work, Loh underscores her belief in clothing and textiles as a “second skin” capable of both practical function and profound communication. Visitors are invited not only to learn about her ongoing journey bridging art, science, and technology but also to immerse themselves in the tactile, sonic, and visual dimensions of her textile art. As Loh’s residency culminates in this interactive exhibition, it becomes an experiential testament to her mission of nurturing community connections, addressing pain, and cultivating holistic well-being through design.  About the Artist: Anke Loh embraces technology as another way of communicating with the body and its environment. With a background in fashion design, she focuses on textile development and wearable technology, aligning with society and craft. Her collections have been featured in international runway shows and exhibitions including New York Fashion Week, The Centre Pompidou in Paris, Japan’s Osaka Collection Show, and the Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago. Her artistic projects, including INTERKNIT and Dressing Light, have attracted international media coverage and recognition, including being honored as a Laureate at the Festival International des Arts et de la Môde in Hyères, France. This project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events. This project is supported, in whole or in part, by federal assistance listing number, 21.027 awarded to the International Museum of Surgical Science by the US Treasury through the American Rescue Plan Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in the amount of $125,000.00, representing 83% of total project funding.

This surgical museum doesn&#39;t try to be the Field Museum, but it does lack a quality that makes a museum more engaging, and that quality is the level of interactivity. Most museums are designed to be read and read. The information that visitors read is fascinating, but it would be more impressive if there were more ways to engage visitors. Unless you work in the medical field, I wouldn&#39;t put this on your list of attractions; however, if you are a Chicagoan looking for something new to learn about, this museum is worth checking out.

There are views of both city skyscrapers and lakes, and you can see Navy Pier, 360-degree views! It&#39;s right next to Michigan Street, so it&#39;s convenient. Food and drinks are available on the observation deck, and there is no time limit for viewing!

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.

Field Museum

Best Things to Do

Allen2001

I came to Field Museum in the year of 2021. At that time, COVID was still a big thing, however, I still want to visit. it was amazing to see such a beautiful museum.

Grant Park

Natural scenery

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
