A year long collaborative project exploring the meaning of 'modern'.

The Art Institure of Chicago, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Poetry Foundation have joined forces to present this yearlong exploration of what modern means. As well as exhibitions such as Apostles of Beauty: Arts and Crafts from Britain to Chicago and Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917, the season features a programme of weekly performances, readings and lectures looking at ‘Modern’ from the perspective of artists, curators, dancers, museum directors, musicians, poets and scholars.

  Venue Description:

  The Art Institute of Chicago, founded in 1879 as both a museum and school, first stood on the southwest corner of State and Monroe Streets. Built on rubble from the 1871 Chicago fire, the museum housed a collection of plaster casts and had a visionary purpose to acquire and exhibit art of all kinds and to conduct programs of education. The collection now encompasses more than 5,000 years of human expression from cultures around the world, including paintings, sculptures, photography, architecture, crafts, textiles, design and artefacts. The Art Institute provides lectures, instruction and entertainment, such as dramatic, film and musical performances.

  Musical Interlude , Patrice “Ain’t Got No”

   

  Click here to view the embedded video. The video for Patrice’s “Ain’t Got No” (directed by Guillaume Cagniard) is notable here for the inclusion of artwork by JR.
