CHICAGO, IL.- The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, opens the new year with Rudolf Stingel, the first major museum exhibition in the United States of renowned international artist Rudolf Stingel, on view from January 27 to May 27, 2007. This twenty year retrospective takes a comprehensive look at this influential contemporary artist whose work seeks to demystify the artist, the artistic process, and the art object. Celebrated for his explorations of the process of painting and the “idea” of art, Stingel combines minimalist, conceptual, and performative practices to create unexpected spaces.  (courtesy www.Artdaily.org)
