Julie Rodriguez Widholm on "Seeing is a Kind of Thinking: A Jim Nutt Companion"

April 30, 2011 ~ Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Pamela Alper Associate Curator, Julie Rodriguez Widholm speaks to me about the exhibition she organized from the MCA Collection and augmented with loans from private collections.

Seeing Is a Kind of Thinking: A Jim Nutt Companion
January 29 - May 29, 2011

Seeing Is a Kind of Thinking includes work by more than 50 contemporary artists that resonates—either formally or through its subject matter—with aspects of Nutt's work. The exhibition is organized into four thematic sections that examine how artists look to comics, folk art and non-Western art as source material; representations of surrealist psycho-sexual dramas; the traditional portrait bust genre; and an architectural approach to materials that oscillates between 2-D drawings and 3-D forms.
