Free and open to the public. Join the Renaissance Society at 21c Chicago for a book launch with artist Max Guy, announcing the publication of Max Guy: But tell me, is it a civilized country? The book was developed on the occasion of Guy’s 2022 exhibition at the Renaissance Society, an installation of new works centered on The Wizard of Oz. This launch and program celebrate the artist’s first museum exhibition and monograph. MAX GUY: BUT TELL ME, IS IT A CIVILIZED COUNTRY? This book accompanies Max Guy’s exhibition But tell me, is it a civilized country?, an installation of new works centered on The Wizard of Oz. The title is drawn from a conversation between the Witch of the North and Dorothy in which the Witch defines “civilized” as not including magic. Anchored in Chicago—where L. Frank Baum’s novel was written and first published, and home to enduring monuments to Oz fandom—the exhibition and book bridge the parallel universes of the Emerald City and its birthplace, drawing out the traces each carries of the other. This catalog features essays by artists and writers Brit Barton and Matthew Goulish, and the exhibition’s curator, Michael Harrison, as well as the transcription of a conversation between Guy and artist Irena Haiduk. The book also includes a new artist project made specifically for the book in the form of an annotated bibliography created by Guy of writings and images that relate to and inspire his practice.

It&#39;s worth visiting, but the price is a bit high, so it doesn&#39;t feel like great value for money. There&#39;s a slanted window inside that offers a downward view of the city, but that costs extra. Overall, it doesn&#39;t feel like good value for money.

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.
