Winter Series Part II, Session 3: The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970–2020 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (in-person program)

Wednesday, Feb 12, 2025 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
927 Noyes St. Studio 222, Evanston, IL 60201

Join Joanna Pinsky of Art Encounter for guided tours and interactive discussion at two stimulating museum exhibitions this winter! On February 12, we will be visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art to explore their latest major exhibition, The Living End: Painting and Other Technologies, 1970–2020.


For decades, critics have periodically claimed that “painting is dead,” suspecting that new technologies would end hands-on creativity. Painting endures in spite of this refrain, often combining new mediums and approaches in addition to raising questions about what constitutes an artwork. This fascinating exhibition explores the history and influence of technology on the art form, including traditional paintings, early photo silkscreen printing, paintings designed with computers, new paint mediums, videos, and documented performance art.
