Join us for an evening with Los Angeles- and Berlin-based artist Lucas Reiner and Michael Darling, former curator of the MCA Chicago and founder of Museum Exchange. Through the lens of Reiner’s collection and artistic process, they will explore nature, the universality of art, and its bridge between the physical and immaterial, the secular and the spiritual.
The event is in conjunction with the world premiere of Lucas Reiner’s The Stations, presented by the Athenaeum Center. This collection engages the profound capacity of art to embody a universal human longing to comprehend suffering, loss, and the passage of time.
This will be an intimate evening in the Paradiso, with an opportunity to view this impressive collection, and meet the artist. The Paradiso Bar will be serving your favorite cocktails and a curated selection of wines and craft beers.
This event is free, though we welcome donations to support the exhibition.
