Luftwerk

Mies van derRohe’s 1950s masterpiece the Farnsworth House is about to step into the spotlight once again. Artist collaborative Luftwerk will illuminate the site on October 17 with original video projections, scored by original music from Chicago musician Owen Clayton Condon. Luftwerk raised funds for the event via Kickstarter. As the National Trust for Historic Preservation writes, the event promises to highlight “the primary characteristics of the Farnsworth House—its transparency and minimalism—to provide an entirely new experience with the building while celebrating what makes it so distinctive.”
