January 5, 2024 Isaac Jacobs Elmhurst Art Museum, John Coltrane, Mccormick House, Mies van der Rohe

Music has, for centuries, inspired design across the spectrum of art creation. Have you ever thought about the kind of visual output the music of jazz legedn John Coltrane might inspire? Well, Norman Teague has, and his visionary exhibition on the subject is set to launch at the the Elmhurst Art Museum this January. Entitled A Love Supreme, this solo exhibition inspired byColtrane will accompnayan adjoining group exhibition in the famed Mies van der Rohe’s McCormick House featuring over 30 Chicago-based artists who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). The companion show is entitled A Love Supreme: McCormick House Reimagined.
