"This is Modern Art" as sparked a heated conversation, precisely what the creators wanted.
A new play at Steppenwolf Theatre has sparked a heated conversation -- precisely what the creators wanted. Based on the 2010 graffiti "bombing" of the then-relatively new Modern Wing of The Art Institute of Chicago, This Is Modern Art tells the story of the graffiti crew that carried out the event. Some critics have blasted the play, saying it glorifies an illegal act. We talk with the creators.
