Forty years after the turbulent 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, this exhibition examines artists’ impassioned responses to those events. Approximately 40 artworks, as well as protest posters, film, photographs, and documents, manifest the shock, rage, and irreverence of the moment. Artists include: Don Baum, Jim Dine, Ellen Lanyon, Barnett Newman, Gladys Nilsson, Ed Paschke, Suellen Rocca, and Seymour Rosofsky. Supported by a grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art.

Film Series: October 7, 14 & 21, 6pm
