Rachel Cohen 'Remembers' Museums

During this intense period of closures, uncertainty, and isolation, Rachel Cohen has been reviewing thousands of photos of artworks that she has taken over the last nine years, creating a ‘remembered museum.’ Cohen is a Professor of Practice in the Arts in the creative writing program. Besides frequently teaching courses on writing about art that are cross-listed in art history, she also leads an annual session on writing labels for COSI Fellows at the Art Institute of Chicago.
