I love the Contemporary. We had a wonderful tour with Hayley, who raised interesting questions such as 'What is Art for - social commentary? Museum display? or pretty paintings on your wall?' The content of the artwork we saw was about identity - gender, racial - and political commentary about politics, war and power.
So after that heady stuff, we had lunch at Wolfgang Puck's - a lovely space in a beautiful museum. The tour and the lunch were sponsored by a generous Avila alum, Jeanne Olofson, who has the good taste to reside here in Chicago.
After that? Free time: shopping, Navy Pier, Hull House, and whatever else the students could think of...
