Laurie Anderson

“ Laurie Anderson is a singer-songwriter of crushing poignance – a minimalist painter of melancholy moods who addresses universal themes in the vernacular of the commonplace.” Rolling Stone Magazine

Laurie Anderson, the ground-breaking performance artist and musician, makes a rare appearance in Chicago to perform her new work, Homeland.  An exploration of American obsessions with security, the relationship of fear and freedom, an increasing acceptance of violence, and the persistent new language of war, Homeland juxtaposes the synthetic language of technology and the sensuous language of song writing and poetry. A true pioneer of electronic music, Anderson’s unflinching observations and keen artistry combine to create a singular evening of profound performance. Presented by the Harris Theater and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
