THE MUSEUM BOLDLY INTERWEAVES EXHIBITIONS, PERFORMANCES, COLLECTIONS, AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO EXCITE, CHALLENGE, AND ILLUMINATE OUR VISITORS AND TO PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE CREATIVE PROCESS. THE MCA ASPIRES TO ENGAGE A BROAD AND DIVERSE AUDIENCE, CREATE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND BE A PLACE FOR CONTEMPLATION, STIMULATION, AND DISCUSSION ABOUT CONTEMPORARY ART AND CULTURE. 0 0 12555884 1218214 EXHIBITIONS:1. VIRGIL ABLOH: "FIGURES OF SPEECH" (JUNE 10-SEPTEMBER 29, 2019)IN SUMMER 2019, THE MCA PRESENTED THE FIRST MUSEUM EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO THE WORK OF GENRE-BENDING ARTIST AND DESIGNER VIRGIL ABLOH (AMERICAN, B. 1980). ABLOH PIONEERS A PRACTICE THAT CUTS ACROSS MEDIA AND CONNECTS VISUAL ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, FASHION DESIGNERS, AND ARCHITECTS. THE EXHIBITION FEATURED HIS SIGNATURE FASHION PRESENTED IN MANNEQUIN DISPLAYS, AS WELL AS HIS WORK IN FURNITURE DESIGN, ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTIONS, AND COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS WITH OTHER DESIGNERS AND ARTISTS. THIS WAS THE THIRD-HIGHEST ATTENDED EXHIBITION IN MCA HISTORY.2. DIRECT MESSAGE: ART, LANGUAGE, AND POWER (OCTOBER 26, 2019-JANUARY 26, 2020)DIRECT MESSAGE LOOKED AT THE WAYS ARTISTS SINCE THE 1960S HAVE USED WORDS TO CHALLENGE OUR IDEAS ABOUT ALL OF THE MESSAGES WE READ, WRITE, HEAR AND SPEAK DAILY. IN THIS INNOVATIVE COLLECTION-BASED EXHIBITION, ARTISTS REMIXED CONVENTIONAL MODES OF COMMUNICATION, CHALLENGING THE AUDIENCE'S PERCEPTIONS OF LANGUAGE AND, BY EXTENSION, POWER. THE EXHIBITION CONSISTED OF FOUR SECTIONS OF WORKS THAT REDEFINED HOW WE UNDERSTAND COMMUNICATION: REMOVE, REVIEW, REFRAME, AND RECODE. SEVERAL PUBLIC PROGRAMS ACCOMPANIED DIRECT MESSAGE, INCLUDING A TALK CALLED "ARTISTS AND ECONOMIES," WHICH FEATURED A PANEL DISCUSSING HOW THE PHILANTHROPIC AND COMMERCIAL SIDES OF THE ART WORLD OPERATE IN WAYS BOTH VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE. 3. DURO OLOWU: SEEING CHICAGO (FEBRUARY 29-SEPTEMBER 13, 2020)THIS EXHIBITION FEATURED GUEST CURATION BY DURO OLOWU, A NIGERIAN-BORN BRITISH DESIGNER, WHO TURNED HIS COSMOPOLITAN EYE TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND THE ROLE THAT IT HAS PLAYED IN REDEFINING THE ART HISTORICAL CANON. DRAWING FROM THE CITY'S PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ART COLLECTIONS, OLOWU CURATED A SHOW THAT REIMAGINED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ARTIST AND OBJECTS ACROSS TIME, MEDIA, AND GEOGRAPHY. MOVING AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL EXHIBITION FORMATS, OLOWU COMBINED PHOTOGRAPHS, PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, AND FILMS IN DENSE AND TEXTURAL SCENES THAT INCORPORATED HIS OWN WORK. FOLLOWING THE CLOSURE OF THE MCA IN MARCH, THE MUSEUM CREATED A VIRTUAL GALLERY EXPERIENCE FOR THIS EXHIBITION, WHICH INCLUDED AUDIO RECORDED BY OLOWU. THIS VIRTUAL TOUR WAS PRAISED BY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE FOR BEING A "RICH, LAYERED EXPERIENCE." 4. MIKA ROTTENBERG: EASYPIECES (OCTOBER 2, 2019-MARCH 8, 2020)AS PART OF THE ASCENDANT ARTIST SERIES, WHICH IS FOCUSED ON GIVING ESTABLISHED ARTISTS THEIR FIRST SOLO MUSEUM EXHIBITION, THE MCA FEATURED MIKA ROTTENBERG: EASYPIECES (OCTOBER 2, 2019-MARCH 8, 2020). USING ABSURDIST SATIRE TO ADDRESS CRITICAL ISSUES OF OUR TIME, MIKA ROTTENBERG (ARGENTINIAN, B. 1976) OFFERS SUBVERSIVE ALLEGORIES FOR CONTEMPORARY LIFE. THIS EXHIBITION TRACED CENTRAL THEMES IN THE ARTIST'S OEUVRE, SUCH AS LABOR, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE MECHANICAL AND THE BODILY. THE EXHIBITION FEATURED SEVERAL OF ROTTENBERG'S MOST RECENT PROJECTS, INCLUDING HER VIDEO INSTALLATION SPAGHETTI BLOCKCHAIN (2019), WHICH EXPLORES ANCIENT AND CONTEMPORARY IDEAS ABOUT MATERIALISM. THIS EXHIBITION WAS ORGANIZED BY THE NEW MUSEUM IN NEW YORK. 5. CHICAGO WORKS: ASSAF EVRON (JULY 23, 2019-MARCH 1, 2020)AS PART OF OUR CHICAGO WORKS SERIES, THE MCA FEATURED THE WORK OF ASSAF EVRON (ISRAELI, B. 1977), WHICH WAS THE ARTISTS' FIRST US MUSEUM EXHIBITION AND RAN CONCURRENTLY WITH THE CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE BIENNIAL. THE EXHIBITION FEATURED NEW WORKS BY EVRON THAT DWELL AT THE INTERSECTION OF ARCHITECTURE, ORNAMENTATION, PLACE, AND IMAGE. SEVERAL OF THE WORKS WERE BASED ON EVRON'S PHOTOGRAPHS OF STRUCTURES AND SPACES IN BOTH ISRAEL AND CHICAGO THAT FEATURE THE MEANDER, A UBIQUITOUS DECORATIVE MOTIF DERIVED FROM THE NATURAL CURES OF RIVERS AND STREAMS. THESE WORKS INVITED THE VIEWER TO COMPARE THE HISTORIC AND CONTINUED SIGNIFICANCE OF DECORATIVE SURFACES THAT MEANDER AND MEET AS IMAGES ACROSS THE WORLD, ACCRUING NEW SIGNIFICANCE IN EACH ENCOUNTER. 6. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? (APRIL 27-SEPTEMBER 29, 2019)DRAWN LARGELY FROM THE MCA COLLECTION, THE WORKS IN CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? DEALT WITH BREAKDOWNS IN COMMUNICATION AND OUR INABILITY TO HEAR EACH OTHER IN POLARIZED POLITICAL CLIMATES. THE EXHIBITION ASKED THE VIEWER TO CONSIDER THE PROLIFERATION OF SOUND: WHICH MESSAGES MERIT AMPLIFICATION, AND WHICH ARE UNDULY STIFLED? THE ARTISTS IN CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? EXPLORE THE INDIVIDUAL'S STRUGGLE TO COMMUNICATE ON LEVELS RANGING FROM THE PERSONAL TO THE GOVERNMENTAL, ADDRESSING WHICH VOICES ARE SUPPORTED OR SILENCED. THE EXHIBITION SURVEYED A WORLD IN WHICH WE ARE UNABLE TO ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS WITHOUT SUCCUMBING TO POLITICAL APATHY.7. FRAGMENTS OF A CRUCIFIXION (MAY 25-NOVEMBER 3, 2019)ARTISTS HAVE USED THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST AS A POWERFUL SYMBOL TO ADDRESS SUFFERING AND REDEMPTION IN THE HISTORY OF RACIAL VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES. FRAGMENTS OF A CRUCIFIXION EXPLORED THE CONTINUING RELEVANCE OF THE CRUCIFIXION, EVEN AS OUR SOCIETY BECOMES INCREASINGLY DIVERSE IN ITS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. RATHER THAN DEPICT THE IMAGE OF THE CRUCIFIXION ITSELF, ARTWORKS IN THIS EXHIBITION OFFERED ONLY FRAGMENTS - INCOMPLETE IMAGES AND NARRATIVES. THESE WORKS INVOKE AGONY AND ECSTASY THROUGH BODILY TRACES AND SCENES OF ABSENCE AND LOSS. FEATURING WORKS IN THE MCA COLLECTION, THIS SHOW WAS DEDICATED TO THE SPIRITUAL IN ART, AND TO ART'S CAPACITY TO EVOKE LIFE AND LOVE IN THE FACE OF BRUTALITY.8. THE SHAPE OF THE FUTURE (OCTOBER 19, 2019-AUGUST 16, 2020)THE SHAPE OF THE FUTURE FEATURED WORKS FROM THE MCA PERMANENT COLLECTION THAT RECKON WITH THE DUBIOUS DREAM OF A UNIVERSAL DESIGN LANGUAGE. COINCIDING WITH THE 2019 CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE BIENNIAL, THE EXHIBITION EXPLORED GLOBAL MODERNISM AS A FRAMEWORK FOR UTOPIA AND SPECULATIVE WORLD MAKING, MARKED BY TRACES OF LABOR, POLITICAL FANTASY, AND CULTURAL TURMOIL. HIGHLIGHTING THE HISTORIES AND IDEOLOGIES EMBEDDED IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, THESE ARTISTS REVEAL THE COMPLEXITY - AND AT TIMES ABSURDITY - OF THE MODERNIST PROJECT AS A COLLECTION OF DISASTERS AND REVERIES.9. ROUTES AND TERRITORIES (NOVEMBER 2, 2019-MARCH 13, 2020)AN MCA COLLECTION-BASED SHOW, THIS EXHIBITION BROUGHT TOGETHER THREE WORKS THAT ADDRESS HUMAN MIGRATION BY FOCUSING ON LATIN AMERICA, WHERE COLONIALISM AND THE FORCED MOVEMENT OF ENTIRE CULTURES HAVE DEEPLY AFFECTED COMMUNITIES. PANORAMA CATATUMBO (2012-16) BY NOEM PREZ, GUAMN 1 (2016-17) BY ANDRS PEREIRA PAZ, AND LAS COSAS VIVIDAS ANTES DE NACER (THE LIVED THINGS BEFORE BEING BORN) (2017) BY NO MARTINEZ ALL EXPLORED THE WAYS THAT LAND RETAINS HISTORY AND MEMORY, AND CULTURES FORGE NEW ROUTES ACROSS BOUNDARIES. 10. BECOMING THE BREEZE: ALEX CHITTY WITH ALEXANDER CALDER (NOVEMBER 16, 2019-MARCH 14, 2020)FOR THIS EXHIBITION, WE INVITED CHICAGO-BASED ARTIST ALEX CHITTY TO INTERJECT IN THE DISPLAY OF ALEXANDER CALDER'S WORK. CHITTY PROPOSED A REFRAMING FOR HOW WE LOOK, THINK, AND INTERACT IN BOTH MUSEUMS AND THE WORLD AT LARGE. IN THE EXHIBITION, CHITTY CHALLENGED THE CONVENTIONS OF MUSEUM DISPLAY BY DIRECTLY ENGAGING WITH CALDER'S MODERN ARTWORKS. WORKING IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE MUSEUM STAFF TO PRODUCE THIS EXHIBITION, CHITTY'S INTERJECTIONS EVOKED THE SAME PLAYFUL SPIRIT THE MODERNIST SCULPTOR BROUGHT TO HIS OWN PRACTICE. MUCH LIKE THE BREEZES THAT ACTIVATE CALDER'S MOBILES, THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE FORCES THAT DRIVE EXHIBITIONS - HOW ARTWORKS ARE STORED, WHO CHOOSES THEM, AND MORE - WERE REVEALED IN WAYS THAT ALLOW US TO SEE CALDER'S WORK ANEW.11. WATER AFTER ALL (DECEMBER 14, 2019-MARCH 13, 2020)THIS EXHIBITION REVEALED A GLIMPSE OF THE MANY CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HUMANS AND WATER. PRIMARILY FEATURING WORKS FROM THE MCA COLLECTION, WATER AFTER ALL IS CENTERED AROUND THE MCA'S RECENT ACQUISITION OF GHANA-BORN BRITISH FILMMAKER JOHN AKOMFRAH'S VIDEO VERTIGO SEA. PRESENTED IN A SPELLBINDING, THREE-SCREEN INSTALLATION, AKOMFRAH USES ARCHIVAL IMAGES, NATURE CINEMATOGRAPHY, AND STAGED RECREATIONS; CROSSING TIME AND SPACE TO REVEAL THE POETIC AWE AND HORROR OF HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER. THE ARTWORKS SURROUNDING VERTIGO SEA EXPAND THE EXHIBITION'S THEMATIC FOCUS, DIVING DEEPER INTO OUR RELIANCE ON, EXPLOITATION OF, AND CONTACT WITH OUR PRECIOUS ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING WORKS BY CATHERINE OPIE, GUILLERMO GALINDO, JOHN GERRARD, ALFREDO JAAR, WILLIAM KENTRIDGE, AND OTHERS. 2116913 63382 THE MCA'S PERFORMANCE AND PUBLIC PRACTICE DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MUSEUM'S PERFORMANCE, PUBLIC PRACTICE, AND PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS.

THIS GREATLY REDUCED THE NUMBER OF EVENTS WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE AND HOW MANY AUDIENCE MEMBERS WE WERE ABLE TO WELCOME ON SITE. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE PANDEMIC OFFERED NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO EXPAND ITS AUDIENCES IN THE DIGITAL REALM, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO ACCESS ITS OFFERINGS, UNHINDERED BY PHYSICAL PROXIMITY.
