The exhibition, Barnes’ first at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a sculptural, critical reflection on ‘the enduring architectural legacy of the Classical orders – the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian’. Creating an alternative to the existing styles, seen through the global Black experience, history, and values.
