15 things I saw at the MCA

Today my mo m and I took a quick trip to the MCA. Fun fact, it's free for IL residents on Tuesdays.

  1. A farmer's market. Now this was outside the MCA, but it was cool to see.
  2. Really cool hanging lanterns with plants coming off of them.
  3. An exhibit about the works of Virgil Abloh.
  4. 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.
  5. An artistic mixing of a photo of Michael Jordon and a painting of the crucifixion of Jesus.
  6. Three seconds of Michael Jordon celebrating a slam dunk played in a loop so that it looks like an endless scream.
  7. A really great summer camp for preteen boys that included counselors who were able to really engage the boys in the artwork.
  8. A 3D rendition of the photograph of Gordon, an ex-slave.
  9. A large cutout of a version of the Hulk in black to challenge what people perceive as a monstrous form.
  10. Photos of an inked hand of an unidentified stabbing victim.
  11. Etchings of word by Zora Neale Hurston and Ralph Ellison that play on the idea of being seen and unseen.
  12. Comfy seats positioned on the concrete steps.
  13. A terrace with a gorgeous view.
  14. A group of super tiny children on a field trip.
  15. A sign letting visitors know where gender inclusive bathrooms were.

When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
