Lace up your sneakers and join us for a preview of the mobile interactive art installation “HOOPcycle” at the National Public Housing Museum! Drop by, meet past Artist as Instigator Marisa Morán Jahn, and play around with this mobile art installation and “OOPS,” a geometric ground mural that celebrates street games and their role in bringing people together.
Conceptualized by artist Marisa Morán Jahn and architect Rafi Segal, “HOOPcycle” explores the intersections of recreational equity, cultural heritage, and public space. Drawing inspiration from both contemporary basketball and its ancient pre-Columbian ancestor, “HOOPcycle” combines a reinterpreted vertical hoop with a tricycle-mounted design, offering a reimagined sports experience that challenges norms and unites communities through play.
Major funding for “HOOPcycle” and “OOPS” was provided by The Joyce Foundation as part of the 2023 Joyce Award, with support from The National Endowment for the Arts, Parsons/The New School Faculty Research Fund and the Chicago Association of REALTORS®.
