King Harris Board Chair
Fiscal year 2014 witnessed a vibrant and thriving Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Locally, nationally, and internationally, we continued to expand our capacities as a key space for engaging with contemporary art and culture.
With the help of our trustees, the MCA has continued to serve as an insti- tution through which audiences can examine crucial questions of diversity and inclusion in our society. I was personally very moved to participate in the fifth incarnation of the museum’s Dialogue series in September. It featured a conversation with the choreographer, dancer, public intellectual, provocateur, and consummate artist Bill T. Jones. Never one to mince words, but always reflective and thoughtful, Jones urged attendees to consider how they could respond to questions of diversity and inclusion as citizens of the world, even as the very notions of race and culture were shifting profoundly. Not only did Jones speak to an overflowing audience in our Edlis Neeson Theater, he also met with members of our Teen Creative Agency, a group of young Chicagoans who meet every Saturday to discuss how the museum can serve younger generations in more creative and exciting ways.
The MCA also hosted its first MCA Members’ Open House in January, attracting 653 members. Attendees participated in a workshop led by an

MCA teaching artist and a discussion hosted by the Teen Creative Agency. They were also invited to exclusive talks with Chicago-based artists Tom Van Eynde, Michelle Keim, Scott Fortino, William J. O’Brien, and Tacita Dean.
The MCA received many important and generous gifts from trustees this year.
Thanks to MCA Trustee Sally Meyers Kovler, the newly established Kovler Fund for New Web Design will enhance the museum’s website. New audio and video recordings, interviews with artists, curator discussions, behind-the-scenes footage, and an overarching reimagining of our web presence will allow the MCA to extend its role in the digital realm. These transformations do not occur without dedicated staff, and as such the Kovler Fund allows the MCA to hire a digital designer and developer to work with existing staff in innovative ways.
In recognition of their years of support and a recent gift, the MCA has opted to rename the second floor lobby in honor of Trustee Liz Lefkofsky and her husband Eric. This space is the hub of museum activity and a fitting tribute to the Lefkofskys’ support and dedication over the years.
A gift of one million from the Sacks family established the Cari and Michael J. Sacks Fund for Chicago Schools, enabling Chicago Public School students to visit the MCA using free bus transportation. Once at the museum, students join artist guides, who lead them through the collections and exhibitions. This support undergirds our continued efforts to partner with local schools.
MCA Trustee W. George Greig and his wife Margot gave two million to support the Ascendant Artist series, which allows the MCA to bring exciting new contemporary works to Chicago and continues a long-standing MCA tradition of bringing daring, young artists to the public’s attention, both in our city and beyond. The Ascendant Artist series opened in January 2014

with the first major solo museum show of Chicagoan William J. O’Brien. As our understanding of what a museum of contemporary art and culture should be develops, we also must think carefully about the space of our building, now fast approaching its twentieth year in existence. Trustee Anne Kaplan generously donated one and a half million dollars to support the creation of a new restaurant, as well as what we are calling an engagement zone: a space that will offer opportunities for community organizations, groups, and individuals to congregate, create, and experience art and pursue debate and discussion about relevant public matters. This new space will fulfill our director Madeleine Grynsztejn’s ambition to provide a forum that strengthens community and civic involvement. A museum, she believes, can and must play this role as a “meaningful public place—a key, inclusive site.” Thanks to the generosity of Anne Kaplan, we can begin to implement this vision.
The dedication and generosity of our trustees was matched during fiscal year 2014 by that of our staff members. Led by Madeleine, they provided a robust range of exhibitions, performances, educational events, and more for our visitors. They provided artists with a platform for bold expression that ranged from the pleasing to the difficult—and sometimes both at once! And they enabled the public to see the MCA as an institution that sustains contemporary art and culture in Chicago and the world.

In The Way of the Shovel, one of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s flagship exhibitions during fiscal year 2014, the museum pre- sented many recent artworks that dug, sometimes quite literally, into the depths of a particular locale or topic. There was something similar going on with the MCA itself during 2014: the museum also dug more deeply into all that contemporary art and culture has to offer, as well as into its own underlying root systems of community and commitment. This was a year that saw the MCA form new relationships to build on for years to come.
The range of exhibitions presented during the year reflected the MCA’s crucial role in both the international art world and the local Chicago scene. The retrospective of Berlin-based German artist Isa Genzken, organized jointly by the MCA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Dallas Museum of Art, celebrated an under-recognized, major artist of the last thirty years. Genzken’s varied work, from her early engagements with minimalism to her densely populated and politically charged installations of recent years, both delighted and puzzled visitors. Most of all, it chal- lenged us to consider uncanny and startling interminglings of private joy and public anguish.

Similarly, the museum’s survey of cartoonist Daniel Clowes’s career found the MCA crossing the line between rarefied and popular art to facilitate moving experiences of contemporary culture. The show, which originated at the Oakland Museum of California Art, was expanded for its Chicago appearance, befitting Clowes’s Chicago origins and the ways he was shaped by the city. Another exhibition from fiscal year 2014, CITY SELF, also extended the MCA’s connections to its hometown. A group show that included an innovative partnership with National Public Radio station WBEZ’s Curious City series, it presented artistic representations of Chicago from both insider and outsider perspectives, reconnecting the MCA with its surrounding environment. As the CITY SELF did this at the collective level, the continuing BMO Harris Bank Chicago Works, which featured work by José Lerma and Lilli Carré, deepened the MCA’s dedication to featuring the work of local artists.
The MCA also presented the sculpture, film, and performance of one Chicago artist who has gone on to international renown, Theaster Gates. His 13th Ballad featured salvaged materials from buildings on the city’s South Side, as well as the University of Chicago’s Bond Chapel. Gates brought this quiet, meditative sculptural work to life with a set of moving performances in collaboration with the Black Monks of Mississippi.
Other stellar exhibitions included a survey of the art of William J. O’Brien; the knitting of an enormous pink tube of yarn by the artistic duo Miller & Shellabarger; Paul Sietsema’s moving efforts to re-enchant image making; the group show Homebodies, which brought an evocative set of artworks together around the exploration of domestic spaces; the MCA DNA series; a collection exhibition of photography aptly titled Think First, Shoot Later; and other shows that featured Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder, and recent conceptual art.
Taking questions of photography and sculpture outdoors, our plaza project, The Character and Shape of Illuminated Things, marked the first public art installation by upcoming artist Amanda Ross-Ho. She recreated a cube,

sphere, and mannequin’s head featured in a 1980 handbook, How to Control and Use Photographic Lighting, on a monolithic scale and propped a huge color calibration card up in front of them. The work amused MCA visitors while also encouraging them to think more about the relationship between photography and sculpture, the visual and the concrete (or—in this case—fiberglass, steel, and wood), what we see and what is actually there.
If our curatorial projects made myriad connections to art and culture in Chicago and the world at large, our educational work sought to bring the outside into the museum. Among an extraordinarily rich list of talks, performances, projects, and more, we hosted a Dialogue about diversity with choreographer Bill T. Jones and a panel discussion, “Out There: Contemporary Practice, Art, and Civility,” that explored the stakes of con- temporary art and culture in public life.
Our performances on the MCA Stage similarly mixed globally touring productions with strong, local collaborations. Sonic Youth member Kim Gordon, performance artist Taylor Mac, MacArthur “Genius” Grant awardee and choreographer Kyle Abraham, comedian Sandra Berhard, and the always wonderful Mikhail Baryshnikov graced the stage of our Edlis Neeson Theater. The MCA continued to bring in global theater productions for their Chicago debuts and welcomed back cutting-edge classical music groups eighth blackbird and the International Contemporary Ensemble. And we partnered with the Chicago Dancing Festival and Chicago Dancemakers Forum to support both touring companies and local choreographers and their companies.
As Chair of the Board of Trustees King Harris mentions in his letter, fiscal year 2014 saw supporters of the MCA extend our capacities to connect both Chicagoans and the world to contemporary art and culture. The Kovler Fund for New Web Design was established to enhance the museum’s website with new audio, video recordings, artist interviews, curator discussions, and behind-the-scenes footage. A gift from the

Cari and Michael J. Sacks Fund for Chicago Schools provides public school students in the city with complimentary bus transportation and artist guides. And Trustee Anne Kaplan provided essential seed money for the creation of a new restaurant and engagement zone, which will offer a meaningful public place—a key, inclusive site where people congregate to experience art and discuss public matters.
It was a remarkable year, one that saw the MCA building strong found- ations in which our artists and audiences will be able to experience, contribute to, and expand upon contemporary art and culture in ways that can deepen what it means to be a citizen of both Chicago and the world.

Every year, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago creates opportunities for the public to directly experience the work and ideas of living artists, and to understand the historical, social, and cultural context of the art of today.
These opportunities would not be possible without your support.
When you make a gift to MCA Chicago, you help bring contemporary art to broader communities in Chicago and beyond. Your contributions affect everything the museum does, whether it’s activating the MCA Plaza with public art, engaging audiences with exhibitions featuring both local and international artists, or encouraging a new generation of art lovers through our TeenCreativeAgency.
Thank you for your generous support.
