Traveling Photopanels Exhibit
The Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Architecture Curator, John Zukowsky, recently presented a challenge to CSSI Project Manger Gary Heitz. The challenge was to create a traveling version of the 2001 Building for Space Travel exhibit (featured in the Spring '01 edition of Studio News), which was also built by Chicago Scenic and managed by Gary Heitz.

The goal for the project was to recreate the experience of walking through the exhibit without actually going to the Art Institute. Utilizing Skyline Displays' Mirage pop-up display system, CSSI created a 60-foot-long wall of pictures using a series of graphics panels. Graphic Designer Chris Hallbeck incorporated photos of the permanent exhibit into the traveling exhibit, thus completing the wall of photos.

The traveling exhibit was displayed at JFK airport and is currently at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashcano, Nebraska. It will then move to the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum in Dallas, Texas.
