Our DNA Research Initiative, a multi-year curatorial program supported by the @CHANEL Culture Fund and led by Yana Peel, CHANEL's global head of Arts and Culture, is mentioned in @wwd. The MCA DNA Research Initiative, led by Jamillah James, MCA Senior Curator, and Nolan Jimbo, MCA Assistant Curator, focuses on the intersection of visual art and performance while surfacing overlooked art historical narratives within the organization’s history. This initiative foregrounds the cross-disciplinary ethos that has been integral to the museum since its founding. #CHANELCultureFund mca.social/3ZRYjdo

How do you transform an office space into an art exhibition? Longtime friend of the MCA, Theaster Gates, has done just that with “When Clouds Roll Away: Reflection and Restoration From the Johnson Archive.” A prolific curator and institutional leader, Gates' exhibition blends his own works with pieces by acclaimed artists like Kerry James Marshall and others to honor the past and point to a future with groundbreaking exhibition models.

Apparently the gift shop at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago @mcachicago has been largely given over to cat books...

“Nicole Eisenman’s monumental group portraits filled with artist cameos and predilection for art-historical bricolage brings a host of other guests to the party.”—Aruna D’Souza on @corncub’s “What Happened” show @mcachicago, from this week’s summer missive 4columns.org/columns-4/our-…

Virginia Jaramillo’s “Principle of Equivalence” vivifies the chalk-pale contours of the @mcachicago’s Bergman Family Gallery with a series of luminescent large-scale works that are crisp, curvy, aqueous, and billowing. | ✍️ Alan Pocaro chicagoreader.com/arts-culture/v…
