Next Exhibition Entitled What Does It Say To You? Opens September 10
Spertus Museum, at Chicago’s Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, provides a forum for the interchange of ideas with its current exhibition. What Does It Say to You? borrows its title from a classic scene in Woody Allen’s 1972 film Play It Again, Sam. In this scene, Allen’s character seeks to get to know a fellow museum visitor by asking her impression of a Jackson Pollock painting. Similarly, this exhibition was conceived to stimulate conversations with visitors about the works on display.
Special exhibition-related programs offered second Thursday of every month invite visitors to explore the ways we experience objects and the roles they play in our lives.
