We are happy to share the events of our MAS Context 2019 Fall Talks series as we continue to celebrate our 10th anniversary.

The series features exhibitions, art installations, talks, book launches, and the third exploration of the Art Institute of Chicago museum archives.

The events will take place in different venues across Chicago as well as in Plano, Illinois, and Barcelona, Spain. We are happy to collaborate with Espai Serrahima, the Farnsworth House, the Graham Foundation, the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago, Lawrence & Clark, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Society of Architectural Historians.

We are also happy to be a partner organization of the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial that will take place between September 19, 2019, and January 5, 2020.

Looking forward to seeing you this fall!
