Chicago, Illinois.- The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) is proud to present the first retrospective of one of Canada's most compelling artists, when "Iain Baxter&: Works 1958-2011" opens on November 5th. The exhibition will remain on view through January 15th 2012. Iain Baxter legally changed his name to Iain Baxter& in 2005. He appended an ampersand to his name to underscore that art is about connectivity and collaboration with the viewer."Iain Baxter&: Works 1958-2011" is a survey of all major phases of his work. Baxter&'s consistent emphasis is on reaching out to the viewer, his core concern with ecology and the environment and his belief that art must be made in many kinds of media, inform his early understanding that "art is all over."
