Noah Davis: Imitation of Wealth is on view August 29, 2015 - February 29, 2016 at the Museum of Contemporary Art [Grand Avenue]. In 2013, Davis recreated a series of works by famous artists — a vacuum cleaner installation by Jeff Koons, a bottle rack piece by Marcel Duchamp, among others — and put them on display at the The Underground Museum, his alternative art space in Arlington Heights. The idea was to display works of high cultural value in an unlikely setting — a storefront space tucked next to a tattoo parlor and a liquor store. Now, the Museum of Contemporary Art is recreating the install as part of its “storefront:” series, which will bring artists who typically work in alternative art spaces to a storefront-style space attached to the museum’s Grand Avenue location. [It is separately accessible from the museum and therefore free of charge. The Davis installation will be viewable through the windows]. Carolina A.
