Obama Center Commissions Major Artworks, MCA Director Announces Departure, and Intuit Museum Opens New Exhibitions

The Obama Presidential Center has commissioned twenty-eight artists, including prominent figures like Theaster Gates and Richard Hunt, to create large-scale works for its Chicago campus. Madeleine Grynsztejn, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, will step down at year's end after achieving her goals, though her future plans remain undisclosed. Intuit Art Museum opens three exhibitions on April 10, featuring sculptures by Bill Brady, drawings by Marvin Young, and a collection donated by Jan Petry. Additionally, the New Museum reopens with an expansion designed by OMA, and Reuters published an investigation into Banksy's identity, citing evidence linking the artist to Robin Gunningham.
