3RD PLACE: "Chicago Music Box - A City Soundscape" by Lauren Schroer
"I love creating art using musical notation and I love my adopted home of Chicago. This city is the birth place of the blues, and is home to many famous music venues and festivals.
I've transformed Chicago's musical legacy into art by referencing sheet music from five different songs to create the skyline. Incorporating a little bit of old with a little bit of new, I used the Chicago Bears fight song, Frank Sinatra's 'My Kind of Town,' Paper Lace's 'The Night Chicago Died,' Kanye West's 'Homecoming' and Robert Johnson's 'Sweet Home Chicago.'" |
