For more than two decades Frances Stark (American, born 1967) has made a variety of work—from essays, drawings, and iPhone photographs to moving-image work, performances, and PowerPoint presentations—about the confluence of her art and her life. Part of the focus series, this exhibition marks the first comprehensive survey of Stark’s video and digital production, from her prescient, lo-fi Cat Videos, begun in 1999, through slideshows derived from her Instagram feed, @therealstarkiller. Presented in the Abbott Galleries, the Stone Gallery, and the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries and enhanced by a brief residency by Stark on the museum’s Instagram account, the presentation is framed by early and new works on paper as well as a key selection from the museum’s historical holdings, juxtaposing “moving†images with “static†ones.
Registration is not required for this program. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
