This exhibition was organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania.


With the launch of this website, the MCA has created a platform for archiving and publishing images and stories from our 50-plus-year history. Though many exhibition and event pages currently lack descriptions or illustrations, we’re committed to a program of ongoing research that will fill in the blanks over time. Our Library and Archives are always the most complete record of our history. If you are interested in further information about our exhibitions, performances, events, programs, or anything else, please reach out to us via email.

Funding

The Chicago presentation of this exhibition has been made possible in part by Hotel 21 East and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.

Additional support was provided by the Friends of the Exhibition Neil and Barbara Bluhm, Andrew and Betsy Rosenfield, Meta and Ronald Berger, Jacques Koek, Renée Logan, Audrey and Bob Lubin, and Kay and Emmett McCarthy.
