David Bowie Is makes its US debut at Chicagos Museum of Contemporary Art CHICAGO, IL - On September 23rd, the David Bowie Is exhibition makes its US debut at Chicagos Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA). The exhibition, meticulously curated by the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum in London, explores the incredibly diverse work of one of the greatest artists of our time. For each of the exhibits, including the MCA exhibit coming to Chicago in September, V&A has partnered with audio specialist Sennheiser to ensure the best possible audio experience for visitors. David Bowie Is, which has already been experienced by more than half a million visitors around the world during its recent visits to London, Berlin, Sao Paulo and Toronto, is an artistic and technical marvel that covers the entire expanse of Bowies luminous career: from Ziggy Stardust to Aladdin Sane and beyond. By leveraging Sennheisers audio expertise, including its guidePORT technology and 3D immersive sound simulation equipment, visitors are left with an unforgettable sound and style experience that explores the very essence of David Bowie. Sennheisers guidePORT expert Robert Genereux is on site to install and configure the system at MCA. David Bowies career is marked by continual re-invention, intellectual depth, musical innovation, striking visual presentation and unwavering artistic integrity. The exhibition takes visitors on a sonic and visual journey, retracing his creativity and influences from all areas of his art using a wealth of material — including videos, stage costumes, album covers, stage sets, photographs and of course his music. To develop the exhibit, curators Victoria Broackes (V&A) and Geoffrey Marsh were given unprecedented access to the David Bowie Archive, consisting of more than 70,000 pieces.
