Posted by internNicholas on October 24th, 2009 | No Comments »
On October 12th SAIC’s Professor and Executive Director of Exhibitions, Mary Jane Jacobs, invited Director Juan William Chavez to give his second talk at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for the MFA seminar course. In his talk “The Constant Evolution of Being an Artist,” Mr. Chavez discussed Boots Contemporary Art Space, the fundraising and board development process, and the duality of being both a gallery director and a practicing studio artist.
Mary Jane Jacobs currently has a major program at Sullivan Galleries entitled “Living Modern Chicago,” a collaboration between the school, Mies van der Rohe Society/Illinois Institute of Technology, and other cultural institutions in Chicago. Its centerpiece exhibit, entitled “Learning Modern,” explores the history of American modernism in Chicago and how it affected education in the mid-20th century. The exhibit will investigate the interactions of all contemporary practices within the city, using Chicago itself as a living laboratory. The exhibition will run from September 26 to January 9, 2010.
