About the Event
Pritzker Director Madeleine Grynsztejn and the MCA invite you and a guest to attend the Members’ Preview for The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970-2020. Enjoy refreshments from a cash bar while being among the first to view the MCA’s newest exhibition.
The claim that painting is dead has been a common refrain among critics for decades. Nevertheless, artists have continuously pushed the medium forward. The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970–2020 surveys the arc of painting over the last 50 years, highlighting it as a mode of artistic expression in a constant state of renewal and rebirth.
The Living End is curated by Jamillah James, Manilow Senior Curator, with Jack Schneider, Assistant Curator.
