Exhibitions
- Carroll Dunham: Drawings, 1974–2024
Over the course of five decades, Dunham has engaged in wide-ranging formal and thematic experimentation across various media, yet his drawings represent a distinct, interconnected body of work.
- Lucas Samaras: Sitting, Standing, Walking, Looking
This exhibition focuses on Samaras’s innovative photographs, which unite his background in performance and his technical achievements with instant process film, particularly Polaroid.
- Raqib Shaw: Paradise Lost
At the Art Institute, Shaw debuts his more-than 100-feet-wide, 21-panel Paradise Lost (2009–25), the artist’s most ambitious and personal project to date. This magnificent allegorical painting takes viewers on a spellbinding journey, from the nocturnal solitude of the artist’s childhood in Kashmir to the frenzied daylight of the art world and the West to finally a fragile, renewed dawn.
