Today my mo m and I took a quick trip to the MCA. Fun fact, it's free for IL residents on Tuesdays.
- A farmer's market. Now this was outside the MCA, but it was cool to see.
- Really cool hanging lanterns with plants coming off of them.
- An exhibit about the works of Virgil Abloh.
- A very cool netting thing that goes from the very top of the museum to the very bottom. I thought it was beautiful and it's an easy way to link all of the floors together.
- An artistic mixing of a photo of Michael Jordon and a painting of the crucifixion of Jesus.
- Three seconds of Michael Jordon celebrating a slam dunk played in a loop so that it looks like an endless scream.
- A really great summer camp for preteen boys that included counselors who were able to really engage the boys in the artwork.
- A 3D rendition of the photograph of Gordon, an ex-slave.
- A large cutout of a version of the Hulk in black to challenge what people perceive as a monstrous form.
- Photos of an inked hand of an unidentified stabbing victim.
- Etchings of word by Zora Neale Hurston and Ralph Ellison that play on the idea of being seen and unseen.
- Comfy seats positioned on the concrete steps.
- A terrace with a gorgeous view.
- A group of super tiny children on a field trip.
- A sign letting visitors know where gender inclusive bathrooms were.
