Micro-Symposium: Art/Science/Spectacle
@ Museum of Contemporary Art
220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Saturday, September 12th, at 2PM
How do immersive artworks, such as those created by Olafur Eliasson, play upon our attraction to the spectacular and a fascination with the mechanics of how things work? This afternoon program features presentations by three internationally renowned speakers who will trace the history of this phenomenon in art and science, and relate it to wide-ranging developments in consumer culture, optics, psychology, philosophy, and technology. Madeleine Grynsztejn, MCA Pritzker Director and curator of Take your time: Olafur Eliasson, introduces the program.
