Inside-Out Look at the Artist's Studio
The artistic process can be a private, personal journey for many, taking place in a closed space shut off from the outside world until the masterpiece is revealed. But The Museum of Contemporary Art hopes to re-examine the location where a piece of work is toiled over, a place that may ultimately turn up in an artist's work--the studio. In their newest exhibit opening this weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art wants to reveal to viewers how the studio has played a role in many works of art. Production Site: The Artist's Studio Inside-Out will be comprised of many mediums including multi-channel video projections, photographic light boxes and installations, and life-sized fabrications of artist's studios.
To celebrate the opening, the museum is throwing an Artist's Studio Party tomorrow night, February 4, at 6 p.m. The event will be a three-floor fundraiser honoring the artists, with live music, food, artist guests and interactive entertainment. For members, tickets cost $35, and for non-members it is $45. Children under 12 are free. The party runs from 6 to 9 and is open to all ages. Buy tickets online or call the box office at 312-397-4010.
