Join us next week on April 25th for A Night at 1524 - Candlelit Mansion Tour! . Bathed in warm candlelight, this unique exploration of 1524 will delve into the architecture of the space and the lives of its original occupants, who worked, danced, dreamt and died there. Highlights from the IMSS permanent collection will invite guests to layer their experience of the space as a historic dwelling and modern-day Museum - as much enchanted by its elegant past as it is haunted by the morbid curiosities it houses today. . A complimentary reception follows the tour and lite fare will be served. . All guests must arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the tour. Doors open at 6:00pm. . Get your tickets at www.imss.org . . . #imsschicago #museum #tour #mansion #history #lakeside #afterdark #candlelight
Only ONE MORE MONTH to see “The Practical Applications of Networks to the Body”. . Drawing parallels to how we interface with the enigmatic electronic and technological devices and networks today, @jon.cham.bers contemplates our relationships with how our body interfaces with these systems and the exchange that happens between them. Using a variety of mediums, Chambers focuses on the hand as the main point of entry into how we interact with these networks that produce labor and troves of data by clicking, tapping, moving, swiping and typing for increasingly corporate systems. . These #fanphotos do a great job of showcasing the works “Server_001: 192.168.0.100” and “Diathermy Feedback Loop” which you can see at the Museum until May 12th! . @jack.schu @alisonlzeidman . . . #imsschicago #exhibition  #museum #contemporaryart #art #digitalmedia #newmedia #artandtech #artistinresidence #neurotouch #video #interactive #digital

OPENING SOON--Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race . This exhibit is a traveling exhibition produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Through reproductions of photographs and documents, films, and survivor testimony, it traces how the persecution of groups deemed biologically inferior led to the near annihilation of European Jewry. It also challenges viewers to reflect on the present-day interest in genetic manipulation that promotes the possibility of human perfection. . Join us for the opening reception: Saturday, May 18, 2018, 5:30 – 8:00 pm. Free and open to the public. . RSVP today at www.imss.org . . . #imsschicago #ushmm #museum #chicago #exhibition #opening #holocaust #history #medical #histmed #war #deadly #medicine
