A Love Supreme: McCormick Place Reimagined

Elmhurst Art Museum

Jan 20th 2024 – Apr 28th 2024

A Love Supreme seeks to provide a new narrative about the bold, bright, and vast number of designers who are the future of American design. For the McCormick House installation, curators Norman Teague and Rose Camara ask, “What is your Coltrane story? Who awakened you personally and artistically?” The exhibit celebrates a variety of jazz and jazz-influenced influences on Chicago design, and will include key musical performances throughout its run. See the accompanying gallery guide for links to songs selected by the artists that inspire their lives, works, or artistic practices.
