Nari Ward at the ICA

Mom and I recently went to the opening of the Nari Ward "Sun Splashed" exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) here in Boston.  It was a great exhibit packed with fascinating ideas and important conversations.  Take a peek:

During the opening we also slipped across the hall into the "New Acquisitions" exhibit.  There were a number of pieces that I liked.

I couldn't take any photos inside the video installation described above.  But, I lay on a bean bag chair and watched it for quite some time.  It is fascinating to me how everything become interesting when you place it under focus.  I suppose that's the theory behind reality TV?

Contemporary art isn't always easy or visually satisfying for me.  But, I really really enjoyed this visit.  If you've never been to the ICA, the building itself is magnificent with a killer view of the Boston harbor.  Worth a visit.  Also, their restaurant is pretty good.  ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
