Chicago Museums

Quote from: Jason Foumberg and Elly Fishman

In this article the authors give us the best idea about the best exhibitions we can see in the museums of Chicago. One of the exhibitions is in the Art Institute of Chicago where the artist Zarina Hashmi sculpts pulp into three-dimensional forms and uses it as a support for her abstract prints and drawings, which contain imagery reminiscent of hand-built structures and hardscrabble existence, all spun into modestly beautiful shapes. Other interesting event is the exhibition in DePaul Art Museum where the photographer Paul D`Amato doesn’t sugarcoat his subject matter: the lives of the socially dispossessed trapped in a wasteland—specifically, African Americans on Chicago’s West Side, whom D’Amato has been photographing for a decade.

I would like to ask the authors do they practice any art-related activities or they are just interested in exploring and analyzing art exhibitions?

I would like to add to this review that everyone who lives in the City of Chicago and has a card for the public library can take free passess for all museums in Chicago.

SCULPT - create or represent (something) by carving, casting, or other shaping techniques.
