The Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia will present the exhibition “A World in the Making: The Shakers” starting January 31, co-organized with the Vitra Design Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Wüstenrot Foundation, and the Shaker Museum. The show explores the design legacy of the Shakers, a religious sect founded by Ann Lee that built egalitarian communes across the American Northeast and Midwest, through furniture, clothing, tools, architectural pieces, gift drawings, and a dance performance choreographed by Reggie Wilson. The Shaker Museum is also planning a new campus in Chatham, New York, designed by Selldorf Architects, set to open in 2028, and artist Suzanne Bocanegra and actor Frances McDormand will open a related show at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles on November 20.
