ART AT ORD

From now through mid-December, jetsetters passing through Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport Terminal 5 will be able to check out an exhibit of more than 40 posters from the 2008 Chicago International Poster Biennial Association (CIPBA).

Here’s a sample….

Terminal 5 has some other artwork worth checking out: The “Beacons” – two lit geometric sculptures – and a limestone and marble mosaic from Chicago’s sister city Amman, Jordan entitled “Treasury of Petra.”

A 50-foot long blown-glass painted mural entitled “Jet Trails” and a 40-foot long mural – “Songs of Chicago” – created by students in After School Matters, were also installed this year in Terminal 1.
