Art Institute of Chicago Musecast: August 2009

Collection Connection: Just getting familiar with the Modern Wing? Starting this fall and stretching through the year, we’ll provide you with over 500 ways of exploring the Modern Wing through art, music, poetry, and dance. Join Art Institute director James Cuno, the Poetry Foundation, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago as we introduce our new season of programming, 500 Ways of Looking at Modern.

Art Institute in the Community: Two new pavilions celebrating the centennial of Daniel Burnham’s Plan of Chicago have opened in Millennium Park. Listen as Joseph Rosa, John H. Bryan Chair of Architecture and Design, Thomas Vietzke of Zaha Hadid Architects, and Ben van Berkel of UNstudio describe how the pavilions’ forward-looking designs relate to Burnham’s concept of Chicago.

What’s New: Summer hours wind to a close at the Art Institute. Stop by the Modern Wing to see new works in the photography galleries and Stone New Media Gallery, and see Beyond Golden Clouds and A Case for Wine  before they close.
