Playboy Architecture Exhibit at the Elmhurst Art Museum
Elmhurst Art Museum presents the U.S. debut of Playboy Architecture,1953-1979,
featuring an extensive collection of photographs, films, architectural models
and more from Playboy magazines inception in 1953 through the 1970s.
Curated by Professor Beatriz Colomina and Pep Aviles
in collaboration with the Ph.D. program of the School of Architecture
and the Media and Modernity program at Princeton University,
the exhibition showcases how architecture and design
played a role in creating the Playboy fantasy as well as how
Playboy magazine came to influence the world of architecture and design.
Staged in the Mies van der Rohe-designed McCormick House at the museum,
the exhibition will feature models of archetypal design projects
such as the Playboy Townhouse and the "Big Bunny," the
largest and most luxurious private aircraft in existence,
designed for Hugh Hefner by Elmhurst resident Daniel Czubak.
We will meet as a group to tour the exhibit,
After we view the exhibit, we will have
a swanky cocktail reception on the Skycube patio.
