“Is there some place that you would like to visit or revisit that no longer exists?” This is the question posed by The Disappointed Tourist, an on-going project by artist Ellen Harvey presented in nearly 300 paintings at the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC). With public submissions from over 30 countries and several new Chicago-specific works commissioned for this exhibition, each painting is reminiscent of an old postcard, evoking themes of nostalgia and love for our built environment.
