Kyle Stephan finds in art the power to activate people

Kyle Stephan has been appointed the new Steven and Lisa Munster Tananbaum Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Block Museum at Northwestern University. A curator, scholar, and educator with expertise in global contemporary art, time-based media, and interdisciplinary practice, Stephan was inspired to pursue curatorial work after witnessing art's power to activate people and communities while working as a studio manager for artist Lynn Hershman Leeson in the 1990s San Francisco Bay Area. She holds a Ph.D. in art and art history from Stanford University and previously curated the first U.S. survey of Fluxus artist Wolf Vostell at Harvard Art Museums.

Elmhurst Art Museum highlights permanent collection in new exhibit

The Elmhurst Art Museum is presenting "Legacies: Selections from the Elmhurst Art Museum Permanent Collection," an exhibition running through August 17 that highlights works from its permanent collection. Founded in 1981 by teachers, artists, and art lovers, the museum has grown to hold around 1,000 works focused on 20th-century art and design by Midwestern artists. The show explores how collections are built, featuring donations from over 200 donors and including pieces such as a Barcelona Chair attributed to Mies van der Rohe but designed by Lily Wright, a large painting by Michelle Grabner, and Joseph Burlini's sculpture "Circus Wagon." The museum also acquired the Mies van der Rohe-designed McCormick House in 1992, which set its path integrating art, architecture, and education.
