Chicago’s MCA Presents “Sympathy for the Devil”
Experience the amazing collision between rock and roll music and contemporary art as depicted in “Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967.”
The Museum of Contemporary Art examines the intersection of rock and roll and visual art through music videos, album art, and works of art themselves. See the impact of music on the fine arts, especially prevalent with Andy Warhol’s involvement in producing the album The Velvet Underground and Nico in 1967. Explore recent album covers by Slater Bradley, Raymond Pettibon, and Mike Kelley created for modern bands, and discuss how musicians like John Lennon, Peter Townsend, and Bryan Ferry came from art school backgrounds.
For special events related to this exhibit, join the museum for the last session of Screens, Doug, and Rock & Roll on November 14 and then the MCA Family “Art Rocks!” Day on December 8 where children can explore their own connections between art and music for free!
