Floating Museum served as artistic directors of the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial, This is a Rehearsal, which invited audiences to consider cities as a continuous process rather than an enduring object. The catalogue for This is a Rehearsal documents and interprets the contributions of 80 local and global participants whose work challenged conventional understandings of how cities function, who plays a role in shaping them, and how proposed solutions might respond to the overlapping crises of contemporary life.
