Patron, Circle, Fellow, and Sponsor members

Delving into the waste bins of celebrity culture, pop psychology, history, and politics, Rachel Harrison combines readymades with complex invented forms, emphasizing the strangeness, humor, and even lunacy that lurk beneath the surface of ordinary commodities. Rachel Harrison Life Hack is the first full-scale survey tracking the development of the artist’s career over the past twenty-five years. Each tour, lasting approximately fifty minutes, will be led by one of the Museum’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows. A wine reception will be available throughout the event.
