This exhibition of Dan Peterman‘s work featured a multimedia installation titled Sulfur Cycle. The artwork was composed of six stacks of synthetic gypsum drywall, which collectively contained one ton of sulfur captured from coal-burning power plant emissions. After the exhibition, Peterman intended for the drywall to be used in the construction of the building that currently hosts the museum, at 220 E Chicago Ave.
