I recently visited Chicago for a printmaking conference and stopped by the Museum of Contemporary Art. To my surprise, I got to see and experience a wonderful exhibit, Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe. The exhibit was brought to Chicago and organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art showcasing a large collection of drawings, photographs, books and models. What an incredible man. He put it best by saying, “a designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist, and evolutionary strategist.” I am amazed at how he envisioned the world, how he was at the forefront of environmentalism and how he was an advocate for every man.

Take a look at the MCA’s website for the exhibit where you can download the gallery guide in addition to an audio tour as told by Jamie Snyder, Bucky’s grandson.
