Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art has been offering insights into cutting edge art, artists, and the creative process for 70 years. Now in its new state-of-the-art facility on the waterfront, the ICA continues offering a portal into multi-disciplinary arts with its innovative exhibition space, performing arts theater, media center, bookstore, and cafe. Here is an overview of the exciting exhibitions going on at the ICA, as well as upcoming events you won’t want to miss:
Design Life Now (through January 6, 2008): This large scale exhibition presents the best work of the past three years in architecture, design, film, graphics, fashion, science, and new technologies. On display are creations from more than 80 designers and firms.
Bourgeois in Boston (though March 2, 2008): Sculpture, paintings, prints, and drawings have been donated from museums and private collections to offer an array of the emotional and innovative work of one of the most influential living artists, Louise Bourgeois. The highly symbolic art is made from a wide variety of everyday materials and represent the body, family, sexuality, trauma and anxiety.
Momentum 9: Kader Attia (through March 2, 2008): This is the French-Algerian artist’s first solo exhibition in the US. His work evokes abstract themes, such as absence and emptiness through sculptures.
