My family & I visited the National Museum of Mexican Art over the weekend. Located in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in Pilsen, it provided a great mix of art and culture. There was a lot of contemporary work by Mexican artists as well as the history of Mexican occupation within Chicago. And it was free!
what did you think of juan chavez's pieces? i love his installations, and he's done several projects at the art center.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was incredible. It was like this hollowed out wooden animal that you can explore inside & out.
