Paul Pfeiffer: Prologue to the Story of the Birth of Freedom
May 3rd – August 31st
Artist Talk: May 3rd | 2 – 3:30 PM
“The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago is pleased to present Prologue to the Story of the Birth of Freedom, featuring the work of Paul Pfeiffer. The exhibition presents 25 years of work from artist Paul Pfeiffer, whose practice interrogates ideas of spectacle and mass culture. By repurposing the tools and systems of media production—including editing, staging, and outsourcing—Pfeiffer recontextualizes global celebrities such as pop stars, film actors, and athletes to reveal relationships between audiences and icons. As the artist puts it, “who’s using who? Is the image making us, or do we make images?””
