The exhibition graphic design of Gary Simmons: Public Enemy stems from the content of the show itself. In Public Enemy, Simmons coolly reckons with stark, omnipresent representations of race, class, education, gender, and identity in America through vehicles of visual culture, such as urbanism, film, music, and sports. The Creative Studio at the MCA Chicago used these themes to effectively communicate identity through provoking assets within and outside of the museum.The studio produced flyers, wheat paste posters, wall texts, signage, retail ephemera, print ads and a physical reading room centering on a black-and-white color scheme with bold typography and pops of color that underscored the MCA identity and platformed the work of Simmons.
