Episode No. 778 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Celeste Rapone.
The MCA Chicago is presenting “Atrium Project: Celeste Rapone” in the museum’s two-story entrance space through Jun 20, 2027. The presentation was organized by Jamillah James with Korina Hernandez.
Rapone’s work centers domesticity, intimacy, and daily life, particularly as experienced by women. She has been included in exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston and the Georgia Museum of Art; her work is in the collection of the Hammer Museum, University of California, Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Speed Art Museum, Louisville, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami (promised).
