Tony Cokes: On Boredom

Art Institute of Chicago · Loop

About This Event

Cokes's first outdoor Chicago piece is two dueling slogans on the terrace facing Millennium Park — an Aretha Franklin lyric on one side, a line about losing the freedom to be bored on the other — both big enough to read from the sidewalk below.
