Cornerstone Gallery

In 2012 the MoCP commissioned artist Jan Tichy to develop a project and exhibition based on the museum’s collection. As part of the project, Tichy designed a new Cornerstone Window Gallery that is installed on the façade of the museum on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Harrison Street.

For the inaugural exhibition, Tichy invited six international curators and five students from across Chicago to organize digital exhibitions of works from the collection. These exhibitions are also presented here. Tichy will update the Cornerstone Window Gallery several times this year with exhibitions organized by various groups, including museum.

This project has been generously supported by the David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Foundation.
