CHICAGO – You have a world atlas on your desk. With a few mouse clicks, you can print out door-to-door directions via the Internet. Then there’s the GPS device mounted on your car’s windshield.

We at the Arts Desk highly recommend you take a break from your Little 500 festivities to see this exhibition and take a look at a list of terms to help you understand the artwork.
