\u201cDavid Bowie Is\u201d just opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art<\/a> in Chicago. The MCA is the only scheduled North American stop for the acclaimed exhibit organized by London\u2019s Victoria and Albert Museum<\/a>, meaning U.S. fans of the groundbreaking artist may want to plan a visit to the Windy City<\/a> during the run (it closes January 4, 2015).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The exhibit is a fascinating chronology of Bowie\u2019s career, showcasing music, costumes, video footage and rare photographs alongside streaming audio interviews and recordings. At the same time, it provides a telling look back at roughly six decades of history and pop culture and the inspiration they provided for the performer\u2019s creative process.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s more Bowie to be had in Chicago beyond the exhibit walls. The MCA has lots of eclectic programming<\/a> planned in associated with the show.\u00a0 Highlights include the David Bowie Variety Hour on September 26 and 27, when a mix of club and stage acts, including hip-hop dance company BOOM CRACK! and cabaret singer Meredith Miller; a Bowie film fest October 18 and 19; and Volume 1: Stardust, a private viewing of the exhibit followed by a DJ set by none other than 80s icon Boy George on November 7. There\u2019s even a Bowie-themed menu<\/a>\u2014think Ziggy Stardust Schmaltz (a fancy cheese platter) and Starman Wings\u2014at Puck\u2019s Caf\u00e9 within the museum.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Outside the MCA, on September 23, you can catch a one-night-only screening of \u201cDavid Bowie Is\u201d the movie<\/a>, a documentary about the exhibit about the man (got that?). Added bonus: The showing is at Chicago\u2019s legendary Music Box Theatre , an indie film house built in 1929 in the Lakeview neighborhood that still maintains much of its original charm.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on the city’s Northwest Side, \u201cWarhol, Reed & Bowie\u201d<\/a> is an exhibit of up-close-and-personal photos \u00a0of New York City\u2019s art crowd\u2014including Andy Warhol, Lou Reed and Bowie\u2014taken by photojournalist Steve Schapiro showing at the newEd Paschke Art Center<\/a> in Jefferson Park through November 15.<\/p>\n

If you can squeeze in some shopping, score some Bowie on vinyl at local record stores such as Laurie\u2019s Planet of Sound<\/a> in Lincoln Square or Logan Square\u2019s Logan Hardware<\/a>, which also has an arcade stocked with vintage games like Frogger and Asteroids. Hanging out there\u2019s free when you make a purchase.<\/p>\n

Or clothes-shop to re-create looks from your favorite Bowie era. Ziggy Stardust fans will dig Skyscraper Heels<\/a> in West Lakeview, which stocks all manner of platforms, stilettos and other styles of sky-high high-heeled shoes in sizes that go up to 17. And if they don’t have what you want, no problem: They\u2019ll custom make make the spaceman shoes of your dreams. Aladdin Sane lovers should head to Bucktown\u2019s Heads and Threads Boutique<\/a>, which stocks all manner of wigs and hairpieces to help you channel your inner punk rocker. Meanwhile, Thin White Duke aficionados will prefer the Chicago outpost of SuitSupply<\/a> in the Gold Coast, where an in-store tailor can ensure a look that\u2019s more \u201cGolden Years\u201d than Man from Mars.<\/p>\n
