Art Institute in the Community: Go beyond the museum walls as curator
James Rondeau and exhibition manager Maureen Pskowski discuss the work of
sculptor Scott Burton and Ellsworth Kelly's White Curve, on view in the Modern Wing's outdoor spaces.
What's New:
On October 10, Caravaggio's The Supper at
Emmaus, on loan from the National Gallery London, arrives at the Art Institute. Curator
Christina Nielsen offers an inside look at the masterpiece and the artist that
she calls "a supernova with a self-destructive streak."
Exhibition Focus: Though separated by 150 years, the works on view in Playing with Pictures: The Art of Victorian
Photocollage
and On the Scene: Jason Lazarus, Wolfgang
Plöger, Zoe Strauss share an unusual feature. Photography curators Elizabeth Siegel and Katherine
Bussard reveal the surprising similarity.
Your Turn: We'd
like to hear from you. Share your modern-day versions of Victorian photocollage
or let us know if you think repurposing found photographs can still be
considered photography. E-mail us at musecast@artic.edu
or post your thoughts to our Facebook page.
