Alexis Rockman: The Great Lakes Cycle: Panel Discussion
@ Chicago Cultural Center
78 E Washington St, Chicago, IL 60602
On view through Monday, October 1st
Please join us for a panel discussion on the development of Alexis Rockman’s Great Lakes Cycle, now on view at the Chicago Cultural Center. Panelists: Alexis Rockman, Dana Friis Hansen and Dr. Jill Leonard. In Exhibit Hall, 4th Floor North, Chicago Cultural Center.
About the exhibition: This multi-faceted project explores the past, present and future of North America’s Great Lakes – one of the world’s most emblematic and ecologically significant ecosytems. Painted in Rockman’s signature, meticulous but visionary hyper-realist style, the works in the exhibition are anchored by five mural-sized (72” x 144”) oil paintings, each exploring a theme that emerged during Rockman’s field research and engagement with lake experts. Alexis Rockman: The Great Lakes Cycle is organized by the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
