Tracing / Traces: Architecture and the Archive 2025
On Saturday, December 6, 2025, MAS Context will organize the ninth edition of our annual Tracing / Traces event offering a behind-the-scenes look at selected items from the Art Institute of Chicago’s Ryerson & Burnham Art and Architecture Archives.
Five architects and designers will select items from the collection and discuss them in relationship to their practice, the discipline, and/or society. Nathaniel Parks, Tigerman McCurry Director of the Art Institute of Chicago Archives, will provide a brief introduction to the archives. Participants include:
Zehra Ahmed, Anders Nereim, Uthman Olowa, Drew Ranieri, Melissa Rovner
By format: ‘Talks’

This event considers drawings which are contested rather than resolved. A boundary redrawn by two parties; a survey read differently depending on who's measuring; a deed whose line was never quite where the wall is.

How are the spaces in which justice is discussed, negotiated and delivered shaped by architecture, ritual and performance? How can artistic practice help us to rethink the systems and institutions through which justice and collective decision-making are produced?
