WEARING'S MONUMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHIC INSTALLATION ROCK 'N' ROLL 70 (FIRST ITERATION DONE IN 2015) WAS A SITE-SPECIFIC COMMISSION FOR THE SANDRA AND GERALD FINEBERG ART WALL, AND THE FIRST PRESENTATION IN BOSTON OF THE CELEBRATED ARTIST'S WORK. USING A SELF-PORTRAIT, WEARING ASKED INDIVIDUALS WORKING WITH AGE-PROGRESSING TECHNOLOGY TO DIGITALLY ENHANCE PORTRAITS OF THE ARTIST TO SEE WHAT SHE MIGHT LOOK LIKE AT AGE 70. PRINTED AS WALLPAPER, THESE AGED PORTRAITS SHOW THE DIVERSITY OF POSSIBILITIES OF THE ARTIST'S FUTURE SELF. THEY DIFFER SLIGHTLY OR IMMENSELY FROM EACH OTHER, REVEALING THE LIMITATIONS OF PIONEERING TECHNOLOGY AND THE MUTABILITY OF VISUAL IDENTITY. ON TOP OF THE WALLPAPER HANGS A FRAMED TRIPTYCH OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS, CONSISTING OF THE ARTIST AT HER CURRENT AGE, AN ENHANCED PORTRAIT, AND A BLANK LAST SPACE, AS WEARING INTENDS TO MAKE A SELF-PORTRAIT WHEN SHE TURNS 70. IN A WORLD OVERSATURATED BY IMAGES, PARTICULARLY "SELFIES," WEARING EXPLORES THE COMPLEXITIES OF IDENTITY AS MEDIATED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY.ORGANIZED BY EVA RESPINI, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR, AND JESSICA HONG, CURATORIAL ASSOCIATE.2017 JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER PRIZEFEBRUARY 15 - JULY 9, 2017PAUL AND CATHERINE BUTTENWIESER AND FOTENE DEMOULAS GALLERIESTHE JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER PRIZE IS KEY TO THE ICA'S EFFORTS TO NURTURE AND RECOGNIZE BOSTON-AREA ARTISTS OF EXCEPTIONAL PROMISE. FIRST ESTABLISHED IN 1999, THE JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER PRIZE (FORMERLY THE ICA ARTIST PRIZE) EXPANDED ITS FORMAT WHEN THE MUSEUM OPENED ITS NEW FACILITY IN 2006. JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER, PASSIONATE COLLECTORS AND SUPPORTERS OF CONTEMPORARY ART, ENDOWED THE PRIZE, ENSURING THE ICA'S ABILITY TO SUSTAIN AND GROW THE PROGRAM FOR YEARS TO COME.

IN MEDIA INCLUDING PAINTING, SCULPTURE, PRINTMAKING, FILM, AND VIDEO, AND EXPLORING A RANGE OF THEMES AND SUBJECTS, EACH OF THE ARTISTS ENGAGE THE HUMAN BODY WITH A TACTILE APPROACH TO ITS CULTURAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND HISTORICAL RESONANCES. EACH OF THE ARTISTS PRESENTED A MAJOR WORK, OR GROUP OF WORKS, ON VIEW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BOSTON. CENTRAL TO THE EXHIBITION, THIS ITERATION OF THE JAMES AND AUDREY FOSTER PRIZE FEATURED A NEW PROGRAM, THE FOSTER TALKS, ENABLING AUDIENCES TO ENGAGE MORE DEEPLY IN THE WORK AND PRACTICE OF THE PRIZE WINNERS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE EXHIBITION, EACH ARTIST PRESENTED THEIR WORK AND INVITED AN IMPORTANT WRITER, ARTIST, PERFORMER, RESEARCHER, OR OTHER INFLUENCE ON THEIR PRACTICE. THE CONVERSATIONS WERE FOLLOWED BY A FREE RECEPTION, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

AFTER THE EXPANSIVE PRESENTATION IN FIRST LIGHT: A DECADE OF COLLECTING AT THE ICA, NEW ACQUISITIONS CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON THE INCREDIBLE GROWTH OF THE COLLECTION IN RECENT YEARS. TAKING AN APPROACH COMMON IN LARGER MUSEUMS, THE EXHIBITION SHOWCASED WORKS IN A RANGE OF MEDIUMS ACQUIRED IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. DATING FROM THE 1970S TO THE PRESENT, THE WORKS ON VIEW FOCUSED ON THE USE OF LANGUAGE AS A MATERIAL IN ART, THE VULNERABILITY OF THE HUMAN BODY, AND THE ABILITY OF ARTWORKS TO SHAPE-SHIFT, TAKING ON THE CHARACTER OF ARCHITECTURE, DECOR, OR FOUND OBJECTS. AMONG THE NEW ACQUISITIONS WAS SARAH SZE'S HIDDEN RELIEF (2001), A MAJOR SCULPTURAL WORK BY THE BOSTON NATIVE THAT TRANSFORMS A CORNER OF THE GALLERY INTO A MESMERIZING NETWORK OF SHAPES, LINES, LIGHTS, AND RULERS. MIKA ROTTENBERG'S 2015 VIDEO NONOSEKNOWS (50 KILOS VARIANT) BRINGS THE NEW YORK-BASED ARTIST'S PENCHANT FOR THE VISCERAL AND THE ABSURD TO BEAR ON CHINA'S CULTURED PEARL INDUSTRY. HENRY TAYLOR'S FAMILY PORTRAIT I'M YOURS (2015), A POWERFUL AND MEMORABLE CONTRIBUTION TO ONE OF ART'S OLDEST GENRES, PRESENTS A TRIO OF FIGURES CHARACTERIZED BY DETERMINATION AND RESOLVE.NEW ACQUISITIONS ALSO FEATURED WORKS BY SADIE BENNING, SOPHIE CALLE, JIMMY DESANA, SHANNON EBNER, JENNY HOLZER, REE MORTON, WILLIAM POPE.L, KEITH SONNIER, AND HAEGUE YANG, AMONG OTHERS.ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, MANNION FAMILY CURATOR, WITH JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSISTANT CURATORSTEVE MCQUEEN: ASHESFEBRUARY 15, 2017 - FEBRUARY 25, 2018KIM AND JIM PALLOTTA GALLERYTHE ICA/BOSTON PRESENTED THE U.S. DEBUT OF ASHES (2002-2015), A VIDEO INSTALLATION BY THE ARTIST AND FILMMAKER STEVE MCQUEEN (B. LONDON, UK, 1969). A STANDOUT FROM THE 56TH VENICE BIENNALE IN 2015, ASHES PRESENTS FOOTAGE ON TWO SIDES OF A FREESTANDING SCREEN. ONE SIDE, ORIGINALLY SHOT ON SOFT, GRAINY SUPER 8 FILM, SHOWS A YOUNG, CAREFREE FISHERMAN NAMED ASHES BALANCING PLAYFULLY ON A PITCHING BOAT AGAINST A HORIZON OF BLUE SKY AND WATER. THE OTHER SIDE SHOWS A SECOND PROJECTION, SHOT IN 16MM FILM, THAT CHRONICLES ASHES'S UNEXPECTED FATE. NEVER SEEN TOGETHER, YET LINKED BY A SHARED SOUNDTRACK, THE VIDEOS CONJURE AN EASY VITALITY AND A VIVID DESCRIPTION OF PLACE AGAINST THE DARKER FORCES OF SOCIETY AND FATE.WITH MOVING-IMAGE WORKS THAT CREATE EXQUISITE, VISCERAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BODIES AND THE SPACES THAT SURROUND OR CONFINE THEM, MCQUEEN'S PRACTICE HAS DEVELOPED FROM ICONIC SILENT VIDEOS TO POIGNANTLY SOUND-DRIVEN WORKS OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS. MCQUEEN IS THE RECIPIENT OF THE 1999 TURNER PRIZE AND AN ACADEMY AWARD FOR HIS 2013 FEATURE FILM 12 YEARS A SLAVE, AMONG MANY OTHER HONORS. THE ICA INTRODUCED MCQUEEN TO BOSTON AUDIENCES WITH A FILM PRESENTATION IN 1995.ORGANIZED BY DAN BYERS, MANNION FAMILY SENIOR CURATOR, WITH JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSISTANT CURATORNARI WARD: SUN SPLASHEDAPRIL 26 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2017WEST GALLERYNARI WARD: SUN SPLASHED WAS THE LARGEST SURVEY OF THE ARTIST'S WORK TO DATE. EMERGING ALONGSIDE A NOTABLE GROUP OF BLACK ARTISTS IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE 1990S, NARI WARD (B. 1963 IN ST. ANDREW PARISH, JAMAICA) ACTIVELY ENGAGES WITH LOCAL SITES-THEIR HISTORIES, COMMUNITIES, AND ECONOMIES-TO CREATE SPECTACULAR, AMBITIOUSLY SCALED ARTWORKS OUT OF UNLIKELY MATERIALS. HE DERIVES INSPIRATION FROM HIS IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT, INCORPORATING FOUND OBJECTS GATHERED IN AND AROUND URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS AND EMBRACING VARIED CULTURAL REFERENCES. WORKING IN SCULPTURE, COLLAGE, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO, INSTALLATION, AND PERFORMANCE, WARD CAPTURES THE MAKESHIFT QUALITIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE AND IMBUES HIS PRODUCTION WITH A VISCERAL RELATIONSHIP TO HISTORY AND THE REAL WORLD. THE EXHIBITION INCLUDED ARTWORKS MADE FROM SODA POP, SHOELACES, SHOPPING CARTS, AND A FIRE ESCAPE, MATERIALS THAT SPEAK TO THE ARTIST'S DISTINCTIVE EXPERIMENTATION. NARI WARD: SUN SPLASHED FOCUSES ON VITAL POINTS OF REFERENCE FOR WARD, INCLUDING HIS NATIVE JAMAICA, CITIZENSHIP, AND MIGRATION, AS WELL AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE, TO EXPLORE THE DYNAMICS OF POWER AND POLITICS IN SOCIETY.ORGANIZED BY PEREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI ASSOCIATE CURATOR DIANA NAWI.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A SCHUTZ'S PAINTINGS COMBINE ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION WITH EXPRESSIVE IMAGINATION, FRAGMENTED BODIES, BANAL OBJECTS, AND QUOTIDIAN SCENES TO CREATE ODDLY COMPELLING AND INTRIGUING PICTURES. OVER THE LAST DECADE, SHE HAS HONED HER APPROACH TO PAINTING, CREATING TIGHTLY STRUCTURED SCENARIOS AND COMPRESSED INTERIORS. HER WORKS CAPTURE SUBJECTS WHO SEEM TO BE ACTIVELY MANAGING, EVEN FIGHTING, THE LIMITATIONS OF THEIR DEPICTED ENVIRONMENTS-BOUNDARIES SET BY THE CANVASES' ACTUAL BORDERS. MANY OF HER PAINTINGS, SUCH AS GETTING DRESSED ALL AT ONCE (2012) AND SHAVING (2010), DEPICT DISTORTED BODIES, REVEALING A NUANCED EXPLORATION OF THE FEMALE BODY ENGAGED IN LIFE'S EVERYDAY RITUALS. DRAWING ON THE LEGACIES OF BOTH FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACT PAINTING, WITH NODS TO TOUCHSTONE FIGURES SUCH AS GEORGE GROSZ AND MAX BECKMANN, SCHUTZ'S UNIQUE VOICE IN PAINTING EXEMPLIFIES THE EXPANSIVE POSSIBILITIES OF THE MEDIUM TODAY. IN HER WORK, THE ARTIST EXPLORES WHAT CAN OCCUR WITHIN PARAMETERS OF SPACE AND TIME AND HOW FINITE ZONES CAN UNFOLD INTO CURIOUS AND EVOCATIVE NARRATIVES. OVER THE COURSE OF HER TWENTY-YEAR CAREER, DANA SCHUTZ'S WORK HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF MAJOR MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, INCLUDING MOST RECENTLY A SURVEY AT THE MUSEE D'ART CONTEMPORAIN DE MONTREAL, CANADA, AND AN EXHIBITION OF NEW WORKS AT THE KESTNERGESELLSCHAFT, HANOVER, GERMANY. ORGANIZED BY EVA RESPINI, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR, WITH JESSICA HONG, ASSISTANT CURATOR MARK DION: MISADVENTURES OF A 21ST-CENTURY NATURALIST OCTOBER 4 - DECEMBER 31, 2017 WEST GALLERY MARK DION: MISADVENTURES OF A 21ST-CENTURY NATURALIST, THE ARTIST'S FIRST U.S. SURVEY, EXAMINED 30 YEARS OF HIS PIONEERING INQUIRIES INTO HOW WE COLLECT, INTERPRET, AND DISPLAY NATURE. SINCE THE EARLY 1990S, MARK DION (B. 1961, NEW BEDFORD, MA) HAS FORGED A UNIQUE, INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE BY EXPLORING AND APPROPRIATING SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGIES. OFTEN WITH AN EDGE OF IRONY, HUMOR, AND IMPROVISATION, DION DECONSTRUCTS BOTH SCIENTIFIC AND MUSEUM-BASED RITUALS OF COLLECTING AND EXHIBITING OBJECTS BY CRITICALLY ADOPTING THEM INTO HIS ARTISTIC PRACTICE. HE HAS TRAVELED THE WORLD TO GATHER PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIMENS, CONDUCTED ARCHEOLOGICAL DIGS, AND RUMMAGED THROUGH FORGOTTEN COLLECTIONS, ARRANGING HIS FINDS INTO BRIMMING CURIOSITY CABINETS AND CHARISMATIC SCULPTURES. HIS PROJECTS AND EXHIBITIONS OFFER NOVEL APPROACHES TO QUESTIONING INSTITUTIONAL POWER, WHICH HE SEES AS CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL AND REPRESENTATION OF THE NATURAL WORLD. ORGANIZED AROUND THREE OF DION'S PRIMARY METHODS-FIELDWORK, EXCAVATION, AND CULTIVATION-THE EXHIBITION TRACED HIS RESEARCH-INTENSIVE WORK ACROSS MEDIA, TIME, AND PLACE, BRINGING TOGETHER MORE THAN 20 OF THE ARTIST'S MOST SIGNIFICANT ARTWORKS, PLUS A NEWLY COMMISSIONED INTERACTIVE SCULPTURE AND A SALON TITLED THE TIME CHAMBER CONTAINING EPHEMERA, JOURNALS, PRINTS, AND DRAWINGS. THE EXHIBITION OFFERED A RARE LOOK ACROSS THE ARTIST'S INFLUENTIAL PRACTICE AND DISTINCTIVE MATERIAL VOCABULARY, AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A FULLY-ILLUSTRATED CATALOG FEATURING TEXTS FROM RUTH ERICKSON, JAMES NISBET, ANDREA BARRETT, MARK DION, AND PETRA LANGE-BERNDT, AS WELL AS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE ARTIST AND MARY JANE JACOB. THE SURVEY INCLUDED MAJOR WORKS SUCH AS THE N.Y. STATE BUREAU OF TROPICAL CONSERVATION, 1992, AND TOYS 'R' U.S. (WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH), 1994, EACH A ROOM-SIZED COLLECTION OF OBJECTS THAT RUMINATE ON CONSUMPTION, EXTINCTION, AND THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS. THE LIBRARY FOR THE BIRDS OF NEW YORK/THE LIBRARY FOR THE BIRDS OF MASSACHUSETTS, 2016/2017, IMMERSES AUDIENCES IN AND AROUND A 20-FOOT CAGE THAT HOUSES LIVE FINCHES AND CANARIES COMMINGLING WITH THE ACCOUTREMENTS OF ORNITHOLOGY -NETS, BINOCULARS, AND BOOKS- ARRANGED AROUND A TREE. IN THESE AND OTHER WORKS, DION MARRIES DISCOURSES OF SCIENCE WITH THOSE OF THE ART MUSEUM, REVEALING THEIR INTERRELATED ROLES AS PURVEYORS OF KNOWLEDGE AND TRUTH. ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, MANNION FAMILY CURATOR, WITH JESSICA HONG, CURATORIAL ASSOCIATE, AND KATHRINNE DUFFY, RESEARCH FELLOW. NICHOLAS NIXON: PERSISTENCE OF VISION DECEMBER 13, 2017 - APRIL 12, 2018 FOTENE DEMOULAS GALLERY BASED IN BOSTON SINCE THE 1970S, NICHOLAS NIXON HAS CAPTURED THE INTIMATE DETAILS OF FAMILY, RELATIONSHIPS, AND LIFE AS IT UNFOLDS IN FRONT OF HIS CAMERA. USING A LARGE-FORMAT 8 X 10-INCH CAMERA AND BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM, HE PHOTOGRAPHS BOSTON'S CHANGING LANDSCAPE, PORCH LIFE IN THE RURAL SOUTH, SICK OR DYING PEOPLE, AND HIS OWN FAMILY. THIS EXHIBITION SURVEYS THE ARTIST'S PROLIFIC CAREER AND IS ORGANIZED AROUND THE REMARKABLE ONGOING PROJECT THE BROWN SISTERS, A SERIES OF GROUP PORTRAITS OF NIXON'S WIFE BEBE AND HER THREE SISTERS, HEATHER, MIMI, AND LAURIE TAKEN ANNUALLY SINCE 1975. THE BROWN SISTERS WAS PRESENTED IN ITS ENTIRETY, EACH PORTRAIT PAIRED WITH OTHER PHOTOGRAPHS MADE BY NIXON IN THE SAME YEAR, DRAWN FROM OTHER BODIES OF WORK, INCLUDING SCHOOLS IN AND AROUND BOSTON, PEOPLE WITH AIDS, COUPLES, AND LANDSCAPES. TOGETHER THESE PICTURES UNDERSCORE PHOTOGRAPHY'S SINGULAR ABILITY TO CAPTURE THE PASSAGE OF TIME IN INCREMENTAL MOMENTS AND ARE A TESTAMENT TO NIXON'S EXTRAORDINARY PERSISTENCE OF VISION. NICHOLAS NIXON WAS BORN IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN, IN 1947. HE LIVES AND WORKS IN BROOKLINE. ORGANIZED BY EVA RESPINI, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR, WITH JESSICA HONG, ASSISTANT CURATOR HITO STEYERL: LIQUIDITY INC. DECEMBER 13, 2017 - APRIL 22, 2018 PAUL AND CATHERINE BUTTENWIESER GALLERY HITO STEYERL (B. 1966, MUNICH, GERMANY) IS AN ARTIST, FILMMAKER, AND WRITER WHOSE ART SPEAKS URGENTLY TO OUR DIGITALLY MEDIATED ERA. IN HER WORK, SHE HAS ADDRESSED THE WIDE-RANGING EFFECTS OF TODAY'S MASS PROLIFERATION AND DISSEMINATION OF IMAGES, ISSUES OF SURVEILLANCE AND MILITARIZATION, AND THE EVOLVING FUNCTIONS OF TECHNOLOGY IN OUR NETWORKED CULTURE. LIQUIDITY INC. (2014), A NEW ACQUISITION TO THE ICA'S COLLECTION, WAS ON VIEW AT THE MUSEUM FOR THE FIRST TIME. AS SUGGESTED BY THE TITLE, THIS VIDEO SCULPTURE USES WATER AS ITS GUIDING THEME, AND HAS PARTICULAR RESONANCE AT THE ICA'S WATERFRONT LOCATION. LIQUIDITY INC. TAKES AS A POINT OF DEPARTURE THE STORY OF JACOB WOOD, A FORMER FINANCIAL ANALYST WHO LOST HIS JOB DURING THE 2008 ECONOMIC RECESSION AND DECIDED TO TURN HIS HOBBY IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS INTO A CAREER. STEYERL FOLLOWS ACTOR AND MARTIAL ARTIST BRUCE LEE'S DICTUM TO "BE SHAPELESS, FORMLESS, LIKE WATER," TURNING "LIQUIDITY" INTO A TROPE FLUID ENOUGH TO SPEAK ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM THE WEATHER TO WATER AS MATERIAL RESOURCE, TO THE CIRCULATION OF INFORMATION AND ASSETS. PROJECTED ONTO A DOUBLE-SIDED SCREEN IN FRONT OF A WAVE-LIKE RAMP STRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY INC. STAGED A CAPTIVATING PARABLE OF ECONOMIC CRISIS AND CONTEMPORARY CULTURE THAT WAS BY TURNS PLAYFUL AND POIGNANT. HITO STEYERL: LIQUIDITY INC. WAS PRESENTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXHIBITION ART IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET, 1989 TO TODAY (FEBRUARY 7 - MAY 28, 2018). ORGANIZED BY EVA RESPINI, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR, WITH JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSISTANT CURATOR WANGECHI MUTU: A PROMISE TO COMMUNICATE JANUARY 20 - DECEMBER 31, 2018 SANDRA AND GERALD FINEBERG ART WALL ARTIST WANGECHI MUTU (B. 1972, NAIROBI, KENYA) IS KNOWN FOR HER SELF-PROCLAIMED "MAXIMALIST AESTHETIC," HYBRID COMPOSITIONS, AND WALL-BASED WORKS THAT ADD TEXTURE AND DIMENSION TO ARCHITECTURAL SPACES. FEMINISM, AFROFUTURISM, AND MARGINAL SPACES FIGURE IN HER CATEGORY-DEFYING COLLAGE AND SCULPTURE WORK. IN A NEW COMMISSION FOR THE ICA, MUTU USED THE ROUGH, GRAY RESCUE BLANKETS OF HUMANITARIAN AID EFFORTS AND EMERGENCIES TO CREATE A LESS RATIONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE WORLD MAP. TITLED A PROMISE TO COMMUNICATE, THE WORK CREATES A SPACE FOR VISITORS TO EXPLORE IDEAS OF PUBLIC SPACE, COMMUNICATION, AND FREE SPEECH, ADDRESSING THE IDEA OF A WORLD THAT DESPITE ITS INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR COLLECTIVITY STRUGGLES TO COMMUNICATE IN A COMPREHENSIVE WAY. ORGANIZED BY RUTH ERICKSON, MANNION FAMILY CURATOR, WITH JESSICA HONG, ASSISTANT CURATOR ART IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET, 1989 TO TODAY FEBRUARY 7 - MAY 20, 2018 BRIDGITT AND BRUCE EVANS FAMILY AND WEST GALLERIES ART IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET, 1989 TO TODAY EXAMINED HOW THE INTERNET HAS RADICALLY CHANGED THE FIELD OF ART, ESPECIALLY IN ITS PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, AND RECEPTION. THE EXHIBITION COMPRISED A BROAD RANGE OF WORKS ACROSS A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS-INCLUDING PAINTING, PERFORMANCE, PHOTOGRAPHY, SCULPTURE, VIDEO, AND WEB-BASED PROJECTS-THAT ALL INVESTIGATE THE EXTENSIVE EFFECTS OF THE INTERNET ON ARTISTIC PRACTICE AND CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. THEMES EXPLORED IN THE EXHIBITION INCLUDED EMERGENT IDEAS OF THE BODY AND NOTIONS OF HUMAN ENHANCEMENT; THE INTERNET AS A SITE OF BOTH SURVEILLANCE AND RESISTANCE; THE CIRCULATION AND CONTROL OF IMAGES AND INFORMATION; POSSIBILITIES FOR NEW SUBJECTIVITIES, COMMUNITIES, AND VIRTUAL WORLDS; AND NEW ECONOMIES OF VISIBILITY INITIATED BY SOCIAL MEDIA. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A ART IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET FEATURED WORK OF AN INTERNATIONAL, INTERGENERATIONAL GROUP OF ARTISTS, INCLUDING JUDITH BARRY, DARA BIRNBAUM, HARUN FAROCKI, JOSH KLINE, LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON, TREVOR PAGLEN, NAM JUNE PAIK, THOMAS RUFF, FRANCE STARK, HITO STEYERL, MARTINE SYMS, AND ANICKA YI.

ORGANIZED BY EVA RESPINI, BARBARA LEE CHIEF CURATOR, WITH JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSISTANT CURATOR. CAITLIN KEOGH: BLANK MELODY MAY 9 - AUGUST 26, 2018 PAUL AND CATHERINE BUTTENWIESER GALLERY THIS EXHIBITION WAS THE FIRST SOLO MUSEUM PRESENTATION OF THE PAINTINGS OF NEW YORK-BASED ARTIST CAITLIN KEOGH (B. 1982, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA). KEOGH'S WORK EXPLORES QUESTIONS OF GENDER AND REPRESENTATION, ARTICULATIONS OF PERSONAL STYLE, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF ARTISTIC IDENTITY. HER VIVID, SEDUCTIVE PAINTINGS COMBINE THE GRAPHIC LINES OF HAND-DRAWN COMMERCIAL ILLUSTRATION WITH THE BOLD MATTE COLORS OF THE APPLIED ARTS TO REIMAGINE FRAGMENTS OF FEMALE BODIES, NATURAL MOTIFS, PATTERN, AND ORNAMENTATION. DRAWING FROM CLOTHING DESIGN, ILLUSTRATION, AND INTERIOR DECORATION AS MUCH AS ART HISTORY, KEOGH'S LARGE-SCALE CANVASES DISSECT ELEMENTS OF REPRESENTATIONS OF FEMININITY WITH CONSIDERABLE WIT, POINTING TO THE UNDERLYING CONDITIONS OF THE PRODUCTION OF IMAGES OF WOMEN. NATURAL FORMS RECUR THROUGHOUT HER WORK AS A MEANS OF DEPICTING ARTISTIC STYLE, AND FOR THE WAY THAT THESE DIFFERENT DEPICTIONS SPEAK TO SPECIFIC POLITICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXTS, SUCH AS HER EXAMINATION OF THE NATURALISTIC DESIGNS OF THE 19TH-CENTURY BRITISH TEXTILE DESIGNER WILLIAM MORRIS AND HOW THEY RELATE TO HIS UTOPIAN POLITICS. THE EXHIBITION TOOK ITS TITLE FROM AN INTERPRETIVE POEM WRITTEN BY CHARITY COLEMAN FOR KEOGH'S RECENT ARTIST BOOK HEADLESS WOMAN WITH PARROT (2017). KEOGH CREATED A NEW BODY OF WORK IN RESPONSE TO COLEMAN'S IMAGISTIC POEM FOR THE EXHIBITION. ORGANIZED BY JEFFREY DE BLOIS, ASSISTANT CURATOR KEVIN BEASLEY MAY 9 - AUGUST 26, 2018 FOTENE DEMOULAS GALLERY ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING ARTISTS TO EMERGE IN RECENT YEARS, NEW YORK-BASED KEVIN BEASLEY (B. 1985, LYNCHBURG, VA) UNIQUELY COMBINES SOUND AND CLOTHING-HIS CORE ARTISTIC MATERIALS-IN STUNNING, DENSELY PACKED SCULPTURES AND IMMERSIVE ACOUSTIC EXPERIENCES. THIS EXHIBITION, HIS FIRST IN BOSTON, PRESENTED A SELECTION OF THE ARTIST'S SCULPTURES MADE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS. BEASLEY'S EARLY WORKS HARNESSED THE PHYSICAL QUALITIES OF SOUND, DEPLOYING VIBRATIONS AND ECHOES THAT PENETRATE THE BODIES OF BOTH PERFORMERS AND AUDIENCE. HE HAS EMBEDDED MICROPHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC MUSICAL EQUIPMENT IN SCULPTURES MADE OF SNEAKERS AND FOAM, MANIPULATING THEIR SONIC POSSIBILITIES IN HIS LIVE PERFORMANCES. FOUND OBJECTS AND CLOTHING, OFTEN THE ARTIST'S OWN, ARE CENTRAL IN BEASLEY'S DIVERSE SCULPTURAL WORK, RANGING FROM COMPOSITIONS OF SHREDDED T-SHIRTS AND HOODIES TO FITTED HATS, DO-RAGS, AND BASKETBALL JERSEYS. MORE RECENT WORKS ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM COLORFULLY PATTERNED HOUSEDRESSES STIFFENED WITH RESIN THAT STAND ON THE FLOOR AND PROTRUDE FROM THE WALLS, AT TIMES HARDENED OVER SOUND-BAFFLING FOAM PANELS OR CONCAVE FORMS THAT BEASLEY REFERS TO AS "ACOUSTIC MIRRORS." APPEARING LIKE SATELLITE DISHES OR CLUSTERS OF GHOSTLY FIGURES, THESE WORKS BECOME CONDUITS FOR ABSENT BODIES AND HISTORIES THAT THE ARTIST EVOKES THROUGH COLOR, PATTERN, AND TEXTURE. IN THE SPIRIT OF ARTISTS NOAH PURIFOY AND DAVID HAMMONS, BEASLEY HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL MEMORY AND TO EXPLORE HOW LIVED EXPERIENCE INTERSECTS WITH BROADER EXAMINATIONS OF POWER AND RACE IN AMERICA. THIS EXHIBITION WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A SMALL ILLUSTRATED PUBLICATION -THE FIRST ABOUT THE ARTIST- FEATURING AN ESSAY BY RUTH ERICKSON AND A CONVERSATION BETWEEN KEVIN BEASLEY AND MARK BRADFORD.
