Come to the ICA now through March 3rd, and see this awesome exhibit that The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago has organized:
This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s
"This exbibit is an ambitious presentation that represents the diversity and complexity of art produced during the 1980s—from the Pictures generation to neo-expressionism, from the rise of photography to the emergence of abject art—offering a historical overview while situating our contemporary moment within the history of art of the recent past.
The 1980s were a transformative decade in the history of art, music, and politics, beginning with new regimes of world power personified in the United States by President Ronald Reagan, in the United Kingdom by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and in Germany by Chancellor Helmut Kohl. They ended, significantly, with two equally dramatic events: the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the repudiation of the Reagan-Thatcher era signaled by the elections of Bill Clinton in the United States in 1992 and (eventually) of Tony Blair in England in 1997. This Will Have Been re-examines this tumultuous decade at a remove of nearly 30 years, contending that over the course of the decade, the art world navigated a series of ruptures that permanently changed its character."
