Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers opens November 7 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 220 E. Chicago Avenue. The MCA lists the show through April 25, 2027. Johnson had his first solo exhibition at the museum more than 20 years ago.

If you like hearing artists talk about their work, the museum lists a November 7 conversation with Johnson and curator Jack Schneider from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Check availability for the talk separately before planning your visit around it.
