Attention Chicagoans. (Chicagoites? Chicagoistes?) The Hyde Park Art Center, all aglow in a new location, is offering the chance to feel your city's roots. Or to feel some kind of roots, anyway: Among the reopening exhibition's new works is a modular green roof installed by Chicago artist Stuart Keeler, who says he was inspired by the many green roofs he saw from his studio window while working in Germany.

(Hey, they can disrupt my asphalt-shingled roof anytime.) Takeover runs until June 11.
