blog intro

The opening of Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg next week marks the beginning of the MCA's 50th anniversary exhibitions and the end of this series. With only two posts left, frames 31–33 speak to how much has changed—seatbelt laws, smoking bans, hairdos—over the 50 years that we've been championing contemporary art and artists.
