Christa Donner: Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Christa Donner was onsite work this last Tuesday March 3rd for this month's installment in the WIP program. It was fabulous watching as she worked on her large scale work- painting and drawing on the floor while chatting with museum visitors.
Works in Progress started in October of 2007, as part of an effort to explore the creative process of contemporary artists, most of whom live and work here in Chicago. We invite artists to work on site for a day in the museum’s Robert B. and Beatrice C. Mayer Education Center lobby and encourage MCA visitors to talk to the artists, ask questions about the artist’s work and studio practice, and be inspired. Through Works in Progress, we open opportunities for people to gain insight into what it’s like to be an artist today and learn more about what goes into creating work.
This blog is meant to archive the program and also provide a platform to ask the participating artists questions that will further illuminate the great range of contemporary art practice.
