Tim Parsons and Jess Charlesworth present ADHOCISM, an installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago from 19th – 24th July.

The title refers to the 1972 book Adhocism: The Case for Improvisation by Charles Jencks and Nathan Silver which treats the activity of solving problems directly using materials at hand as a liberating, inclusive and sustainable philosophy.

Parsons and Charlesworth present a series of interventions that meditate upon the continuing relevance of an ad hoc approach and demonstrate its ability to generate fresh opportunities in the design of objects. The show is part of We Are Here - Art & Design Out of Context, a month-long series of art and design situations with Chicago-based participants curated by MCA Design Director James Goggin with MCA Designer Alfredo Ruiz.
