The exhibition is guest-curated by Dan Nadel organized for the MCA with Michael Darling, former James W. Through deep research into the many communities of makers, Chicago Comics offers an unprecedented portrait of sixty years of cartooning and celebrates an artistic community that continues to thrive today-one that could have only been fostered here in Chicago. By tracing the relationships between these artists-as thinkers, makers, and often teachers-the exhibition reveals how Chicago emerged as a vibrant community and center for innovation in the medium. How do cartoonists work? How do they collaborate? What tools do they use to build rich worlds and characters? Alongside familiar three-panel cartoons, Chicago Comics showcases developmental sketches, dioramas, and even sculptures, offering a glimpse into the artistic processes of cartoonists. Represented throughout this timeline are special sections that highlight key artists including Kerry James Marshall, Lynda Barry, and Chris Ware. In this pursuit, the exhibition features archival material previously not seen in museums and offers a revised history of the art form. The exhibition seeks to bring to the fore artists of color who were previously under-recognized throughout their careers. Chicago Comics examines styles, schools of thought, and modes of publication across six decades of cartooning, including works from artists who are changing the medium today. ![]() The exhibition traces the evolution of comics in Chicago, as cartoonists ventured beyond the pages of newspapers and into experimental territory including long-form storytelling, countercultural critique, and political activism. Chicago Comics: 1960s to Now tells the story of the art form in the influential city through the work of Chicago's many cartoonists: known, under-recognized, and up-and-coming. © 1981 Turtel Onli About this exhibitionĬhicago has been a center for comics for decades-a haven not only for making and publishing cartoons, but also for innovating on the medium. ![]()
