March 15, 2021 at 1:25pm Six artists and a collective comprising dozens more have withdrawn their works from an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago to show their solidarity with the institution’s forty-one staff members who were laid off in January owing to financial concerns sparked by the continuing Covid-19 crisis. The show, titled “The Long Dream” after Richard Wright’s 1958 novel detailing legally enforced segregation in the American South, features the work of more than seventy local artists, including Candida Alvarez, Dawoud Bey, and Nick Cave, and was launched in November with the intent of providing a showcase for the city’s artists and of offering audiences “ways to imagine a more equitable and interconnected world.” The withdrawing artists are Sarah Bastress, Joanna Furnans, Max Guy, Aaron Hughes, Manal Kara, Damon Locks, and members of the collective Quarantine Times.
