Beyond Truth: Photography after the Shutter
OPEN NOW
Beyond Truth explores figurative scenes and portraits in which artists have altered the “truth” through postproduction techniques. Want to be a part of the exhibition? Take a selfie and use the photo-editing tools at your disposal — filters, face-altering apps, or effects — to manipulate your image and create an alternate truth. Post your photo to social media using #CMAbeyondtruth. It may be added to photos on a video screen in the gallery, becoming part of the exhibition. Read the Wall Street Journal review.

Color and Comfort: Swedish Modern Design
OPEN NOW
This exhibition explores the introduction of bold, colorful patterning during the 1920s, the national nostalgia for Swedish cultural heritage during the 1930s, and the sparse lines of abstraction in the 1950s and ’60s which come together to reveal a particularly Swedish sensibility in modern design — one that has often been used to define a broader modern Scandinavian style.
