Chicago

Enter an exciting world of contemporary art and design at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. With painting, sculpture, graphic design, and photography, this is your one stop shop for all things arty in Illinois. The museum's founders originally conceived of it as a Kunsthalle, a noncollecting “art hall” that organized and hosted temporary exhibitions of new and experimental artists. Today, the galleries host multiple exhibitions a year, some featuring works from a collection that has grown to over 2,500 artworks. Exhibitions Information entre horizontes: Art and Activism Between Chicago and Puerto Rico Exhibition period: : 2023-08-19 ~ 2024-05-05 entre horizontes: Art and Activism Between Chicago and Puerto Rico examines the artistic genealogies and social justice movements that connect Puerto Rico with Chicago. Featuring works by an intergenerational group of artists with ties to Chicago, the exhibition presents Puerto Rican painters who use printmaking techniques and approaches alongside artists who address social and political issues through their work. Descending the Staircase Exhibition period: : 2023-12-16 ~ 2024-08-25 Descending the Staircase considers novel artistic approaches to representing the human body. Spread across two floors of the museum, the exhibition presents figures of all kinds, from the fragmented, absurd, and surreal to the curated, self-aware, and media savvy. Together, these artworks delve into fundamental questions about the human body in the contemporary world, including its relationship to labor and machines, its presentation in advertising and social media, and its role within the everyday domestic sphere. Chicago Works: Maryam Taghavi مریم تقوی Exhibition period: : 2023-12-20 ~ 2024-07-14 For the next iteration of its Chicago Works series, the MCA presents the first solo museum exhibition of artist Maryam Taghavi. Taghavi’s practice insists on positionality: where one stands determines what—and how—one sees. In her upcoming MCA exhibition, Taghavi creates new works that expand her interest in perception by interrogating the space between the illusive vanishing point of the horizon and the immutability of distance. Nicole Eisenman: What Happened Exhibition period: : 2024-04-06 ~ 2024-09-22 *Nicole Eisenman: What Happened* is the first major exhibition surveying Eisenman’s expansive artistic practice, bringing together roughly 100 works from 1992 to today, from painting to drawing to large-scale murals and installations.
