What does it mean to be in the studio? What is the space of the studio in the artist's practice? How do studios help artists envision their agency and, beyond that, their own lives? This title locates the studio both spatially and conceptually - at the center of an art world that careens across institutions, markets, and disciplines.

Chicago is a city dedicated to the modern - from the skyscrapers that punctuate its skyline to the spirited style that inflects many of its dwellings and institutions. Staging the city as a laboratory for some of our most heralded cultural experiments, this work reimagines the modern as a space of self-realization and social progress.
