Taking the big plunge into art

Kerry Skarbakka is a photographer who jumps from high places on a tether and has his team shoot images that he then alters in the studio to make more dramatic. He will be jumping off the roof of the Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave. — no other museum in town would let him — during a photo shoot that will last from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. It is not a performance. It is an opportunity for viewers to see works at the earliest stage of their development and perhaps even get into some of the color pictures. Skarbakka will speak about his photographs afterward.
