Living Room: Diane Simpson
Saturday, April 30, 2016, 2:00-4:00pm
Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago: 220 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago, IL, 60611
Join the TCA for conversation and collaboration corresponding with the Diane Simpson exhibition, Window Dressing, at the MCA.
This Living Room will emulate the atmosphere and scenery evoked in Simpson’s pieces, exploring the importance of material culture and design within society.
Longtime Chicago artist, Diane Simpson takes heavy inspriation from merchant records and journals from the 1920s and 30s, as well as art deco design popular in the era. Originally a commission for the Racine Art Museum in WIsconsin, Window Dressing combines geometric scultpures set against Art Deco backdrops that combines abstraction with material culture and fine art.
The Teen Creative Agency is a diverse group of singular and open-minded teenagers who devote themselves to providing new experiences within the museum and for those around us, inside and outside the MCA.
