Back at the MCA: Forothermore and more
This week I went to the MCA with a cousin who was visiting from out of town. As with the Art Institute, I hadn't been there since the pandemic began. I'm glad I went.
Everyone's been talking about Forothermore , the big solo exhibition of Nick Cave 's work. I was familiar with his Soundsuits, but hadn't seen the rest of his body of work. I took pictures of the portions of the show that I found particularly striking.
Of all the birds in his work, his use of bald eagles is particularly striking. They appear as such menacing figures, an appropriate symbol of the tortured dynamic between the United States of America and African-Americans.
I also liked this piece by Wendy Red Star , which was featured in the Based on a True Story exhibition on the first floor.
And I love Firelei Báez's gorgeous mural in the lobby.
Forothermore is on view until October 2nd and I would definitely recommend seeing it if you can.
