Princess was formed in 2004 in Texas Ballroom, a performance space and gallery on Chicago's South Side. The duo released a self-titled LP and performed until 2006, when they moved on to pursue other paths. They reunited in 2017 to create Out There, a concept video album and live performance piece that explores the role men ought to be playing during the current cultural reckoning of misogyny. The video's science fiction narrative explores the power of the Divine Feminine through collaborations with JD Samon, visual artist Jennifer Meridian, and the band TEEN.
eXit pARTies are FREE for Members and $25 for general public. Enjoy craft cocktails from Snake Oil Cocktail Company, live DJ sets, art-making activities on the Figi Concourse, and more.

MCASD invites its audience to start a dialogue with works in our digital collection. Consider the #subject, #color, #medium, #shapes, and #themes of each artwork when selecting an image or phrase as a response. Create new meaning and/or context by constructing relationships between your reactions and the elements of each artwork.

โMasquerading as a myriad of characters, Cindy Sherman (American, born 1954) invents personas and tableaus that examine the construction of identity, the nature of representation, and the artifice of photography. To create her images, she assumes the multiple roles of photographer, model, makeup artist, hairdresser, and stylist. Whether portraying a career girl, a blond bombshell, a fashion victim, a clown, or a society lady of a certain age, for over thirty-five years this relentlessly adventurous artist has created an eloquent and provocative body of work that resonates deeply in our visual culture." - @MoMA The Museum of Modern Art
