Lucy McRae Lecture
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
Fullerton Hall, 111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Monday, November 18th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
Join us in person for a lecture by artist Lucy McRae followed by an audience Q&A.
Artist Lucy McRae leads a multidisciplinary art-research studio investigating the impact future technologies have on human evolution. Boldly staring down the status quo, McRae pioneers a new story for how future technologies will fundamentally alter intimacy, reproduction, biology, and health—shining light on the ethical implications of genetic engineering. Based in Los Angeles, McRae is a visiting professor at Southern California Institute of Architecture, recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and a TED Fellow. She is currently a world-building and futurist consultant to a number of Hollywood productions with multiple Oscar-winning directors and producers.
Presented in partnership with SAIC’s Fashion Council and the Department of Fashion.
