Whenever I visit Chicago, Intuit is always a pilgrimage destination. (In fact, for my past two trips to Chicago, an Intuit exhibition was THE reason I visited!)

I came here and saw the TED DEGENER:
AT HOME WITH ARTISTS exhibit. It felt full-circle that I began my Chicago trip at the Art Institute ($50) and ended my trip at Intuit ($5). I much prefer Intuits exhibit on art environments. It offered a glimpse into the every day person across America who creates art using non-traditional medium. I liked the bottle cap throne a lot. Seeing that photograph of the artist sitting in his bottle cap created room brought up realizations about American excess (there were A LOT of bottle caps) and artists who make do with what they have to create. It was also surreal to me to see Jordan Knights Salvation Mountain featured because I had visited that monument a few years ago. My critique of the exhibit is that it didnt go into enough details. The space was small so there were only so many photographs that were shown. I didnt feel that the art environments featured were adequately given context. I wanted to learn more about each environment and more information on what led the artists to create them.

We have been wanting to visit this museum for years and finally got to check it out.
We bought tickets online for $5 each, and it was an easy process. When we arrived a man told us about the exhibits.
The museum is small, with a small gift shop and a few galleries. We spent about an hour looking at the paintings and photographs. There was a video viewing area with easy chairs and complimentary coffee, tea, and water. You could press a button to select a video to watch. There were about 10 to choose from they were all very interesting. The videos were created with a handheld camera, so please be aware if you are prone to motion sickness.
Great museum, will be back!
